Publication number: 20240117953Abstract: Configurations for a photonics assembly design and methods for mitigating coherent noise thereof are disclosed. The photonics assembly may include a set of light sources, an optical subsystem that may include a set of optical elements, and a diffusing element. The light emitted by the set of light sources may be different wavelengths and the light may be de-cohered by a phase shifter before being received by the set of optical elements. The diffusing element may be moveable and may be capable of repeating the same positions or set of positions for each beam of light emitted by the set of light sources. By combining the coherent noise mitigation techniques of the moveable diffusing element and the de-cohered light, the photonics system may provide an illumination profile with a specific spatial profile and angular profile on the sample that allows reliable measurement of the sample and coherent noise mitigation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Mark Alan Arbore, Matthew A.

Patent number: 11954306Abstract: A system enables universal remote media control across multiple platforms, devices, and users. A protocol allows a cast controller to have access to media operations and a state(s) associated with media content. The system receives commands from a cast controller, provides the commands to a media player, loads new media content into the media player, based on the commands, and receives state notifications from the media player. Another cast controller can receive the state notifications from the media player and control the media player based on the media operations and state(s) associated with media content.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Mark David Scott, Mark Alan Foltz, John Affaki, Majd Bakar, Francis Tsui, Jennifer Shien-Ming Chen
