Publication number: 20240410822Abstract: This relates to systems and methods for measuring a concentration and type of substance in a sample at a sampling interface. The systems can include a light source, optics, one or more modulators, a reference, a detector, and a controller. The systems and methods disclosed can be capable of accounting for drift originating from the light source, one or more optics, and the detector by sharing one or more components between different measurement light paths. Additionally, the systems can be capable of differentiating between different types of drift and eliminating erroneous measurements due to stray light with the placement of one or more modulators between the light source and the sample or reference. Furthermore, the systems can be capable of detecting the substance along various locations and depths within the sample by mapping a detector pixel and a microoptics to the location and depth in the sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Miikka M.

Patent number: 12160257Abstract: Distributed radio frequency (RF) communication systems for automotive are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, an RF communication system for an automobile includes an RF module located close to an antenna to satisfy a specified output power with small insertion loss. Additionally, the baseband processor is placed remotely from the RF module in a different area of the automobile to provide a lower temperature environment. Additionally, the RF module communicates with the baseband processor in a digital format eliminating the need for higher cost cabling (for instance, due to higher noise immunity arising from using digital signaling) and using digital transfer cabling, which can already be present in the automobile for other purposes. The RF module can include an RF front-end (RFFE) and a transceiver used for providing frequency conversion, for instance, between RF and baseband.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: Skyworks Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Sabah Khesbak, Mark Alan Richey, Ari T Vauhkonen, David Richard Pehlke, Kimmo J.

Publication number: 20240378759Abstract: In computer graphics, texture refers to a type of surface, including the material characteristics, that can be applied to an object in an image. A texture may be defined using numerous parameters, such as color(s), roughness, glossiness, etc. In some implementations, a texture may be represented as an image that can be placed on a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object to give surface details to the 3D object. To reduce a size of textures (e.g. for storage and transmission), textures in a texture set may be compressed together. The present disclosure provides for decompression of at least a portion of a single texture representation of a set of textures into at least a portion of a plurality of textures included in the set of textures.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Karthik Vaidyanathan, Marco Salvi, Bartlomiej Wronski, Tomas Akenine-Moller, Johan Pontus Ebelin, Aaron Eliot Lefohn, John Matthew Burgess, Steven James Heinrich, Michael Alan Fetterman, Shirish Gadre, Mark Alan Gebhart, Yury Uralsky

Publication number: 20240378512Abstract: A computer-implemented method can facilitate delivery of targeted content to user devices in situations in which historic tracking data (e.g., cookie data) is generally unavailable and/or unreliable. A p-dimensional embedding of websites can be generated based on a group of user devices for whom tracking data is available. Conversion event data that indicates indicating whether that audience member performed a conversion action can be received. A machine learning model can be trained using the conversion event data and the positions of websites appearing in the conversion event data within the p-dimensional embedding to predict a likelihood of conversion and/or a type of content to provide given a position in the p-dimensional embedding. When an indication that a user device is accessing a website is received, a position of that website in the p-dimensional embedding can be determined and targeted content can be delivered to the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Applicant: Dstillery, Inc.Inventors: Amelia Grieve WHITE, Melinda Han WILLIAMS, Christopher Allen JENNESS, Jason Jerard KAUFMAN, Evan Bard HILLS, Mark Alan JUNG

Patent number: 12140291Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: December 18, 2023Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Mark Alan Arbore, Matthew A.
