Publication number: 20230341692Abstract: Display devices include waveguides with in-coupling optical elements that mitigate re-bounce of in-coupled light to improve overall in-coupling efficiency and/or uniformity. A waveguide receives light from a light source and/or projection optics and includes an in-coupling optical element that in-couples the received light to propagate by total internal reflection in a propagation direction within the waveguide. Once in-coupled into the waveguide the light may undergo re-bounce, in which the light reflects off a waveguide surface and, after the reflection, strikes the in-coupling optical element. Upon striking the in-coupling optical element, the light may be partially absorbed and/or out-coupled by the optical element, thereby effectively reducing the amount of in-coupled light propagating through the waveguide.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey Dean SCHMULEN, Neal Paul RICKS, Samarth BHARGAVA, Kevin MESSER, Victor Kai LIU, Matthew Grant DIXON, Xiaopei DENG, Marlon Edward MENEZES, Shuqiang YANG, Vikramjit SINGH, Kang LUO, Frank Y.

Patent number: 10742733Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for acquiring media of the same event from multiple devices. The systems and methods enable wireless communication, specifically over a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless personal area network, between multiple media devices, such as personal or consumer devices (i.e., consumer smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, including action cameras, or other computing devices capable to capturing media content in the form of image, video, or audio data) at an event. The systems and methods further enable synchronization, via a specialized timing protocol, between the multiple media devices, over the BLE network, including synchronization of the media content captured by each of the media devices at the event. The present invention further includes an accessory device configured to provide for expansion of communication and synchronization of media devices, specifically bridging a short range BLE network with a long range RF network.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: TIMECODE SYSTEMS LIMITEDInventors: Paul Scurrell, Matthew Grant, Simon Jenkins

Patent number: 9684581Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes a dependency extractor and a dependency investigator that, together, facilitate performance analysis of computer systems. In operation, the dependency extractor instruments a software application to generate run-time execution data for each work task. This execution data includes per-task performance data and dependency data reflecting linkages between tasks. After the instrumented software application finishes executing, the dependency investigator evaluates the captured execution data and identifies the critical path of tasks that establishes the overall run-time of the software application. Advantageously, since the execution data includes both task-level performance data and dependencies between tasks, the dependency investigator enables the developer to effectively optimize software and hardware in computer systems that are capable of concurrently executing tasks.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Andrew Robert Kerr, Matthew Grant Bolitho, Igor Sevastiyanov, Scott Ricketts, Michael Andersch

Patent number: 9514262Abstract: A programmable analog tile integrated circuit is configured over a standardized bus by communicating tile configuration information from a first integrated circuit tile, through a second integrated circuit tile, to a third integrated circuit tile. Each of the three integrated circuit tiles is part of an integrated circuit. The standardized bus is formed when the tiles are placed adjacent one another. Data bus and control signal conductors of the adjacent tiles line up and interconnect such that each signal conductor is electrically connected to every tile. Tile configuration information may be written to a selected register identified by an address in any selected one of the tiles using the data bus and control lines, regardless of the relative physical locations of the tile sending and the tile receiving the information. Thus, tile configuration information may pass from one tile to another tile, through any number of intermediate tiles.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2015Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Active-Semi, Inc.Inventors: Steven Huynh, Matthew A. Grant, Gary M. Hurtz, David J. Kunst, Trey A. Roessig
