  • Patent number: 11791731
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a voltage regulator circuit including two or more discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) phases coupled to an output node and coupled in parallel with one another. A control circuit may detect a trigger and switch all of the two or more DCM phases to a first state (charge state) responsive to the detection. The control circuit may switch a first DCM phase, of the two or more DCM phases, to a second state (discharge state) after a first predetermined time period in the first state and may switch a second DCM phase, of the two or more DCM phases, to the second state after a second predetermined time period in the first state, wherein the second predetermined time period is different than the first predetermined time period. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11470224
    Abstract: A method is described in which image data of an image to be printed is obtained wherein the image data includes data of each colorant to be printed. The image data of each colorant to be printed is analysed to detect areas of the image in which dye-enriched colorant will occur during printing. The image data is modified to compensate for over-saturation due to the dye-enriched colorant in the detected areas and the image is printed based on the modified image data.

  • Patent number: 11446926
    Abstract: A printing apparatus is disclosed. The printing apparatus comprises a printhead and a controller. The printhead is to spit a printing fluid comprising a first mode and a second mode. The first mode corresponds to using a first energy level to spit the printing fluid and the second mode corresponds to using a second energy level to spit the printing fluid. The second energy level comprises a higher energy level than the first energy level. The controller is to determine a decap risk zone associated with the printing fluid, determine in view of the decap risk zone a decap location, and instruct the printhead to spit using the second mode at the decap location.

  • Publication number: 20220126319
    Abstract: A method and associated system provides automated abrasive paint repair using automated abrasive paint repair devices that selectively sand, buff, and polish a substrate in response to received instructions generated by a controller. The controller receives coordinates of each identified defect in the substrate along with parameters describing characteristics of each defect, selects a sanding process, a buffing process, and/or a polishing process based on empirically derived rules established by skilled/expert human operators and the received parameters. The controller outputs instructions to cause the automated abrasive paint repair devices to execute the selected sanding process, buffing process, and/or polishing process using the received parameters. The empirically derived rules and parameters may be stored in a lookup table and/or updated by a machine learning module.

  • Publication number: 20220060180
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a circuit which generates a sawtooth waveform based on an adaptive feedback loop that self-corrects the ramp up rate to account for variations in a device. The sawtooth waveform is obtained by repeatedly charging and discharging a capacitor according to a clock signal. The sawtooth waveform can be sampled once per clock period at a comparator which provides a corresponding binary output to a state machine. If the binary output indicates the amplitude of the sawtooth waveform is below a desired maximum voltage, the state machine outputs a code word to a digitally-controlled variable current source to increase the output current. The sawtooth waveform can be used to provide a pulse-width modulated (PWM) waveform such as for a DC-DC converter.

  • Publication number: 20210110140
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments providing model data specific to particular object recognition client environments. Model data capable of performing well under all possible conditions can be large, slow, and less accurate, at least in some circumstances. The disclosed embodiments solve this problem by providing smaller, more precisely designed models that are adapted to specific conditions faced by an object recognition client. These smaller, more precise models are extracted, in response to a request for said model data, from a super-net trained via data matching one or more environmental conditions specified by the object recognition client. By providing the client with model data tailored to its specific needs, several technical benefits are achieved, such as higher object recognition accuracy with less processing overhead.
