  • Patent number: 12494150
    Abstract: Saving power in an extended-reality device can include rendering a video stream on a display, tracking an eye of a user observing the display, ascertaining a gaze direction of the eye based on tracking the eye, calculating a foveal region of the display based on ascertaining the gaze direction in relation to the display, and modulating color hues of the video stream for pixels of the display outside the foveal region, to reduce a power consumption of the display. Modulating color hues is based on human color discrimination and display power consumption correlated to pixel color.

  • Publication number: 20250199750
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate generally to modifying images to reduce display power while maintaining visual fidelity of the displayed images. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes receiving an input image to be displayed by a type of display device, obtaining a machine learning model that is trained to edit display content to reduce power consumption of displaying the edited display content by the type of display device while maintaining a visual fidelity of the edited display content, applying the machine learning model to the input image to generate an output image, and displaying the output image via a display device of the type of display device.

  • Publication number: 20250095232
    Abstract: Memory-efficient encoding based on human-color perception can include calculating a plurality of two-dimensional boundaries in a color space, ascertaining extrema points for two or more two-dimensional boundaries of the plurality of two-dimensional boundaries, adjusting a color value within at least one of the two-dimensional boundaries to generate an adjusted color that reduces variances of color values for a color channel, and presenting the adjusted color on the display. By adjusting color values within human-perception limits, the number of bits used for color encoding can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20200020330
    Abstract: Techniques for operating a voice-activated computing device are provided. These techniques can be used to prevent voice-based attacks on such devices. An example method according to these techniques includes receiving audio content comprising a voice command, monitoring electromagnetic (EM) emissions using an EM detector of the voice-activated computing device, determining whether the audio content comprising the voice command was generated electronically or was issued by a human user based on the EM emissions detected while receiving the audio content comprising the voice command, and preventing the voice command from being executed by the voice-activated computing device responsive to determining that the voice command was generated electronically.

  • Publication number: 20060150678
    Abstract: An on-line thickness gauge (OLTG) and method are described herein that are capable of measuring a thickness of a moving glass substrate. In the preferred embodiment, the OLTG includes a Y-guide and a stabilizing unit that respectively captures and stabilizes the moving glass substrate. The OLTG also includes a laser instrument which contains a laser source and a detector. The laser source emits a beam at the front surface of the moving glass substrate. And, the detector receives two beams one of which was reflected by the front surface of the moving glass substrate and the other beam which was reflected by the back surface of the moving glass substrate. The OLTG further includes a processor that analyzes the two beams received by the detector to determine a distance between the two beams which is then used to determine the thickness of the moving glass substrate.
