  • Patent number: 11940712
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an acousto-optic device comprising an acousto-optic layer, an electromagnetic radiation source, and an acoustic source. In an embodiment, the acousto-optic layer has a substantially planar shape defining an x-y plane and functions as an optical waveguide to optical waves and as an acoustic waveguide to acoustic waves propagating in the x-y plane. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation source is optically coupled to the acousto-optic layer and configured to deliver electromagnetic radiation therein. In an embodiment, the acoustic source is acoustically coupled to the acousto-optic layer and configured to deliver acoustic energy therein and is configured to adjust a wavelength of the acoustic energy. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation source and the acoustic energy source are positioned to provide an intersection between the electromagnetic radiation and the acoustic energy, which at least partially scatters light from the intersection out of the x-y plane.

  • Publication number: 20230378923
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an amplifier circuit includes a second stage that includes a first switch circuit including first and second terminals, a plurality of resistive elements coupled between the first and second terminals of the first switch circuit, and a plurality of switches configured to control an equivalent resistance between the first and second terminals of the first switch circuit. During play mode, the second stage has a gain between the input of the second stage and the output of the second stage of a first value. During a transition from mute mode to play mode, the amplifier circuit is configured to progressively increase the gain of the second stage from a second value to the first value. During a transition from play mode to mute mode, the amplifier circuit is configured to progressively decrease the gain of the second stage from the first value to the second value.

  • Patent number: 11729112
    Abstract: The present disclosure relate to allocating electronic resources. In some arrangements, a server configures allocable electronic resources for a live streaming room in response to receiving a first configuration request from a first client. The first configuration request is configured to indicate a first configuration operation performed by an anchor to the live streaming room, and the allocable electronic resources are associated to a target commodity corresponding to the live streaming room. The server acquires an allocation request sent by a second client, wherein the allocation request is triggered by an interactive operation of an audience of the second client in the live streaming room. The server allocates an electronic resource from the allocable electronic resources to the audience of the second client, in response to the allocation request, wherein the allocated electronic resource is used by the audience for completing an order operation about the target commodity.
