  • Publication number: 20250076954
    Abstract: Hierarchical Power Management (HPM) architecture considers the limits of scaling on a power management controller, the autonomy at each die, and provides a unified view of the package to a platform. At a simplest level, HPM architecture has a supervisor and one or more supervisee power management units (PMUs) that communicate via at least two different communication fabrics. Each PMU can behave as a supervisor for a number of supervisee PMUs in a particular domain. HPM addresses these needs for products that comprise a collection of dice with varying levels of power and thermal management capabilities and needs. HPM serves as a unified mechanism than can span collection of dice of varying capability and function, which together form a traditional system-on-chip (SoC). HPM provides a basis for managing power and thermals across a diverse set of dice.

  • Publication number: 20230161165
    Abstract: Electronic display devices include digital and analog control of pixel intensity. A digital pixel control circuit and an analog pixel control circuit are provided within each pixel. The digital pixel control circuit employs digital PWM techniques to control a number of subframes within each frame during which a driving current is supplied to a light emitting element within the pixel. The analog pixel control circuit controls the level of the driving current supplied to the light emitting element within the pixel during the frame. In one example, the digital pixel control circuit and the analog pixel control circuit may together control pixel intensity with the analog pixel control circuit providing additional in-pixel bits for increased color depth. Alternatively, the digital pixel control circuit may control pixel intensity and the analog pixel control circuit may control non-uniformity compensation.

  • Patent number: 11642747
    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for aligning multiple parts using simultaneous scanning of features of different parts and using feature-based coordinate systems for determining relative positions of these. Specifically, a feature-based coordinate system may be constructed using one or more critical dimensions between features of different parts. The scanner may be specifically positioned to capture each of these critical dimensions precisely. The feature-based coordinate system is used to compare the critical dimensions to specified ranges. The position of at least one part may be adjusted based on results of this comparison using, for example, a robotic manipulator. The process may be repeated until all critical dimensions are within their specified ranges. In some embodiments, multiple sets of features from different parts are used such that each set uses its own feature-based coordinate system. The part adjustment may be performed based on the collective output from these multiple sets.

The system may determine a change in an electric signal level associated with one or more light-emitting elements of the display. The change may be caused by the compensation operations. The system may determine a wavelength shift of the light-emitting elements of the display. The wavelength shift may be caused by the change of the electric signal level. The system may adjust values of RGB color components of the pixel values of the image based on the wavelength shift of the light-emitting elements of the display. The system may output the pixel values with the adjusted values of the RGB color components to the display.
