  • Publication number: 20250106920
    Abstract: Various arrangements for using a short-range wireless communication link are presented herein. A wireless communication device can transmit data using an asynchronous connection-oriented logical transport (ACL) of the short-range wireless communication link. Monitoring for a high throughput event on the ACL of the short-range wireless communication link can be performed. Based on detecting the high throughput event on the ACL, a first physical layer (PHY) symbol rate of the ACL can be increased to a second PHY symbol rate.

  • Patent number: 12193089
    Abstract: Various arrangements are presented for increasing a link margin of a wireless audio link. A short-range wireless communication link having a first physical layer (PHY) symbol rate is established between an audio source device and an audio output device. An audio stream is transmitted using the communication link, which includes a connected isochronous stream (CIS) link. A number of packet retransmissions are detected on the CIS. Based on the detected number of packet retransmissions on the CIS, the first PHY symbol rate of the CIS can be altered to a second PHY symbol rate for transmitting the audio stream.

  • Publication number: 20240143272
    Abstract: Features described herein pertain to systems and methods for wirelessly providing an audio stream. When audio that is to be output to an audio output device is associated with an application a set of parameters for modifying an established Connected Isochronous Stream (CIS) of a wireless link between an audio source and the audio output device can be determined and the CIS of the wireless link can be modified based on the set of parameters. The audio that is associated with the application can be output to the audio output device using the modified CIS of the wireless link.

  • Patent number: 11810494
    Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having multiple display pixels to display an image based on analog voltage signals. The electronic device may also include optical calibration circuitry to generate digital-to-analog converter (DAC) data based on image data associated with the image and dither circuitry to reduce a bit-depth of the DAC data, generating dithered DAC data. Additionally, the electronic device may include a gamma generator having one or more DACs to generate the analog voltage signals based on the dithered DAC data, which may instruct the gamma generator to generate the analog voltage signals indicative of the image data.

  • Patent number: 11756481
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for mitigating visual artifacts by dynamically tuning bias voltages applied to display pixels. An electronic display may include a display pixel and a bias voltage supply. The bias voltage supply may supply a first bias voltage to the display pixel for a first subframe of a frame of image data. The bias voltage supply may supply a different second bias voltage to the display pixel for a second subframe of the frame of image data. This may mitigate certain image artifacts, such as flicker or variable refresh rate luminance difference, that could arise due to display pixel hysteresis that varies across subframes of the image frame.

  • Publication number: 20220390547
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for indoor localization using Bluetooth high-accuracy distance measurement (HADM). In examples, the described systems and techniques perform a signal-strength scan to identify multiple anchor points and then pair, based on the signal-strength scan, the tagged device with a first anchor point of the identified anchor points. A HADM time slot is set for the first anchor point and at least two additional anchor points of the identified anchor points. A HADM event is initiated, the HADM event including sending a HADM ping and receiving HADM responses from two or more of the identified anchor points. Based on at least a time of receipt of HADM responses received from the two or more of the identified anchor points, the location of the tagged device is calculated.

  • Patent number: 11205363
    Abstract: An electronic display may include pixel circuitry to display an image based on image data compensated for voltage variations within the pixel circuitry. Image processing circuitry may generate a compensation value to compensate the image data for cross-talk (e.g., electromagnetic coupling between an electrode of touch sensor circuitry and an electrode of the pixel circuitry) that may cause the voltage variations. Additionally or alternatively, the image processing circuitry may generate another compensation value to compensate the image data for another cross-talk (e.g., electromagnetic coupling between two electrodes of the pixel circuitry). The image processing circuitry may generate the compensated image data based on the first compensation value and/or the second compensation value.

  • Patent number: 10746844
    Abstract: A system is presented for non-line-of-sight localization between RF enabled devices. A transmitting node is configured to transmit an RF ranging signal at a first carrier frequency, where the RF ranging signal is modulated with a symbol. The reflecting node is configured to receive the RF ranging signal and further operates to convert the RF ranging signal to a second carrier frequency and retransmit the converted ranging signal while simultaneously receiving the RF ranging signal. The localizing node is configured to receive the converted ranging signal from the reflecting node. The localizing node operates to identify, in frequency domain, the symbol in the converted ranging signal and compute a distance between the reflecting node and the localizing node based in part on the identified symbol in the converted ranging signal. The transmitting node and the localizing node may be on the same or different devices.

  • Patent number: 10447318
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is presented for use with a sensor. The wireless communication device includes: an antenna, a driver circuit and a bias circuit. The driver circuit is electrically coupled to the antenna and includes at least one pair of cross-coupled transistors. The bias circuit is electrically coupled to the driver circuit. In a transmit mode, the bias circuit biases the driver circuit with a first bias current. In response to the first bias current, the driver circuit oscillates the antenna. In a receive mode, the bias circuit biases the driver circuit with a second bias current, such that the first bias current differs from the second bias current. In response to the second bias current, the bias circuit amplifies a signal received by the antenna.

  • Publication number: 20160006475
    Abstract: In an RF transceiver front-end device that operates in a receiving mode, a first transformer circuit generates, based on an external RF signal received by an antenna, a first induction signal that passes through a switch unit, and that is amplified by a low noise amplifier circuit and then demodulated by a demodulation circuit to thereby generate a reception signal. When the RF transceiver front-end device is in a transmitting mode, a power amplifier circuit generates, based on a modulated signal generated by a modulation circuit through modulation of an external transmission signal, an amplified output. A second transformer circuit then generates, based on the amplified output, a second induction signal that is thus radiated by the antenna.
