  • Publication number: 20240022783
    Abstract: A device includes one or more processors configured to obtain output delay data based on a transmission from an audio output device. The output delay data indicates a playback delay associated with audio output by the audio output device. The one or more processors are further configured to determine, based on the output delay data and host delay data, a synchronization delay to coordinate audio output by the audio output device and video output at a display. The one or more processors are further configured to initiate sending of audio data to the audio output device and to send video data to the display. The video data is delayed, based on the synchronization delay, relative to the sending of the audio data.

  • Publication number: 20240022702
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided to automatically adjust the position of image sensors, and generate a multi-view image based on image data captured from the image sensors. For example, an image capture device includes a housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion, with a first sensor coupled to the first housing portion, and a second sensor coupled to the second housing portion. A coupling device, such as a hinge, couples the first housing portion to the second housing portion.

  • Patent number: 11828891
    Abstract: A scintillation block detector employs an array of optically air coupled scintillation pixels, the array being wrapped in reflector material and optically coupled to an array of silicon photomultiplier light sensors with common-cathode signal timing pickoff and individual anode signal position and energy determination. The design features afford an optimized combination of photopeak energy event sensitivity and timing, while reducing electronic circuit complexity and power requirements, and easing necessary fabrication methods. Four of these small blocks, or “miniblocks,” can be combined as optically and electrically separated quadrants of a larger single detector in order to recover detection efficiency that would otherwise be lost due to scattering between them.

  • Publication number: 20230334746
    Abstract: High frames-per-second (FPS) displays are becoming more ubiquitous in devices such as smartphones, laptops, etc. For displaying data on displays, render sync signal and compose sync signal control timings of rendering and composing. Conventionally, there is one render sync signal and one compose sync signal for a display, and both share the same frequency as the HW sync signal of the display hardware. As the FPS of the display becomes faster and faster, i.e., as HW sync signal frequency increases, some application layers may be unable to render fast enough to keep up with the increased frequency. To address this issue, it is proposed to provide multiple render sync signals of differing frequencies and phases, and different render sync signals may be used to control the timings of rendering of different application layers. Through such managing of the application layer rendering, a better user experience can be provided.
