  • Patent number: 11354609
    Abstract: Dynamic prioritization of an action item can include retrieving an electronically rendered text from one or more sampled text sources in response to recognizing a user-related task conveyed within the electronically rendered text. Dynamic prioritization of an action item can also include generating an action item corresponding to the user-related task and prioritizing the action item by assigning to the action item a priority computed based on one or more priority factors corresponding to the user-related task. Each of the one or more priority factors can be automatically selected from a collection of predetermined priority factors. Additionally, dynamic prioritization of an action item can include recomputing the priority assigned to the action item in response to a change in task-related circumstances, as determined based on other electronically rendered text.

  • Patent number: 11356110
    Abstract: A voltage-to-time converter (VTC) for a time-domain analog-to-digital converter is disclosed, which provides a time-domain analog-to-digital converter (T-ADC) with low power consumption and high precision. By combining the advantages of current-starving technology, current mirror technology, and body biasing technology, compared with the traditional structure, the VTC and T-ADC achieve excellent performance, such as low power consumption, high linearity, wide input dynamic range, and strong anti-interference to PVT variations. Compared with the traditional voltage-to-time converter, the disclosed voltage-to-time converter has a wider input dynamic range and higher linearity. The input voltage is connected to transistors in the circuit as a body bias, resulting in a very small body current, and no apparent increase in power consumption. The design of a low-power voltage-to-time converter is realized.
