  • Publication number: 20240077930
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to operating conditions, additional data, and/or predicting that the electronic display is not going to be viewed or visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on a prediction of when a viewer is expected to view the electronic display, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20240077929
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to sensed data indicating that the electronic display is not visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on whether the electronic display is visible, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20230206559
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a discard engine in a graphics pipeline are disclosed. A system includes a graphics pipeline with a geometry engine launching shaders that generate attribute data for vertices of each primitive of a set of primitives. The attribute data is consumed by pixel shaders, with each pixel shader generating a deallocation message when the pixel shader no longer needs the attribute data. A discard engine gathers deallocations from multiple pixel shaders and determines when the attribute data is no longer needed. Once a block of attributes has been consumed by all potential pixel shader consumers, the discard engine deallocates the given block of attributes. The discard engine sends a discard command to the caches so that the attribute data can be invalidated and not written back to memory.

  • Patent number: 9858637
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for reducing motion-to-photon latency and memory bandwidth in a virtual reality display system. An exemplary method involves receiving sensor data from one or more sensors tracking translational and rotational motion of a user for a virtual reality application. An updated position of the user is computed based on the received sensor data. The speed and acceleration of the user movement may be computed based on the sensor data. The updated position, the speed, and the acceleration may be provided to a warp engine configured to update a rendered image before sending to a virtual reality display based on one or more of the updated position, the speed, and the acceleration.

  • Patent number: 9750533
    Abstract: Exfoliating heads with an abrasive surface are disclosed for use with a personal care appliance. The personal care appliance is configured to oscillate the exfoliating head to provide improved smoothing and exfoliation of a subject's epidermis with or without the antecedent application of skin care formula. The oscillating action of the exfoliating head may be rotational, translational, or a combination thereof. In use, the personal care appliance oscillates the abrasive surface of the exfoliating head over a subject's skin in order to remove dead skin from the subject's epidermis. The exfoliating heads may be used to treat rough skin conditions, such as calluses or corns, which have developed on a patient's hand or foot.

  • Patent number: 9367145
    Abstract: Techniques for display rotation are disclosed. In one aspect, raw angular motion sensor (AMS) data can be accessed. A motion state of the mobile device can be determined based at least in part on processing the raw AMS data. AMS data can be further processed to determine whether to perform a rotation of the display image based at least in part on applying at least one pre-defined criterion to the AMS data.
