Publication number: 20230009222Abstract: A method for controlling noise on an electronic device may include determining that a measured characteristic, associated with an antenna in a first configuration and included on the electronic device, violates a predetermined threshold. The method may also include identifying an aggressor in a second configuration, which may be a component on the electronic device. The aggressor may emit electromagnetic (EM) radiation that causes the measured characteristic to violate the predetermined threshold. One or more stimuli may be determined based on the first and/or second configurations that would cause the measured characteristic to no longer violate the predetermined threshold. One or more stimuli may be applied to the antenna and/or the aggressor, causing the measured characteristic to no longer violate the predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Mudit Sunilkumar Khasgiwala, Subramani Kengeri

Patent number: 10467438Abstract: Methods and systems are described for proximity condition detection of a recovery from sensor proximity saturation caused by water immersion of a user device. The device transmits data at a first transmit power level using an antenna. In one system, a proximity condition checker determines that a first proximity sensor and a second proximity sensor are saturated in an unknown state after a power event where the saturation caused at least in part by the presence of water in proximity to the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor. The proximity condition checker determines that 1) both the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor are no longer saturated and 2) water is no longer in proximity to the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor. In response, the user device can transmit data at an increased second transmit power level using the antenna.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter Eli Renner, Ruomeng Yu, Ming Zheng, Serkan Hatipoglu, Felix Liu, Han Seob Choi, Mudit Sunilkumar Khasgiwala

Patent number: 10469079Abstract: The techniques described herein mitigate the effects of electromagnetic interference, caused by the sending or receiving of data, on a proximity sensor of an electronic device. In some instances, capacitance values measured by the proximity sensor may be inaccurate during times at which the electronic device is sending or receiving data. To mitigate this effect, the techniques take into account the recurrent time slot(s) at which the electronic device is scheduled to send or receive data, and then disregards the capacitance values measured by the proximity sensor at these times.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mudit Sunilkumar Khasgiwala, Serkan Hatipoglu

Patent number: 10164722Abstract: A processing device tracks a frequency hopping sequence implemented by a personal area network (PAN) transmitter in a user device and identifies a set of filter coefficients corresponding to a first frequency of a plurality of frequencies in the frequency hopping sequence, wherein the PAN transmitter is currently transmitting a PAN signal at the first frequency. The processing device configures a tunable notch filter with the set of filter coefficients to cause the filter to remove at least a portion of a PAN component at the current frequency from a combined signal received at a wireless local area network (WLAN) receiver in the user device, the combined signal comprising a WLAN component attributable to a received WLAN signal and the PAN component attributable to the PAN signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Adrian Napoles, Mudit Sunilkumar Khasgiwala

Patent number: 9929763Abstract: Systems and methods for addressing an inadvertent decrease in transmission energy/power due to triggering a proximity sensor by a cover disposed on a computing device. In an embodiment, a cover sensor may be incorporated into the device. The cover sensor may be used to detect the presence of a cover on the device, as well as whether the cover is in an open or closed position. The output of the cover sensor may then be used to adjust a trigger/proximity threshold of the proximity sensor to account for the presence and position of the cover on the device. In this manner the device may avoid unnecessary power backoff caused by proximity of the cover, rather than proximity of the user. This improves the over the air (OTA) performance of the device, as well as the user experience.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ming Zheng, Omar Sze Leung, Jerry Weiming Kuo, Willy Horng Jean Cheung, Michael Serge Devyver, Mudit Sunilkumar Khasgiwala

Patent number: 9634776Abstract: A mobile communication device may use sensor data to identify the current device state based on sensor data, device parameter values and/or device usage data. The mobile communication device may then measure the impedance value of a characteristic circuit, such as the antenna or the power amplifier. Responsive to determining that the measured impedance value differs from a pre-defined base impedance value by more than a certain threshold value, the mobile communication device may retrieve, from a memory, a set of envelope tracking (ET) parameter values corresponding to the current state of the communication device and the measured impedance value. The mobile communication device may calculate, using the retrieved ET parameter values, a target supply voltage to be applied to the power amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Morris Yuanhsiang Hsu, Mudit Sunilkumar Khasgiwala, Peruvemba Ranganathan Sai Ananthanarayanan
