  • Patent number: 11978393
    Abstract: A pixel circuit includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a first capacitor, a third transistor, a second capacitor, and a fourth transistor. The first transistor is configured to receive a power voltage. The second transistor is configured to receive a data voltage and is coupled to a gate terminal of the first transistor. The first capacitor is coupled between the gate terminal of the first transistor and a source terminal of the first transistor. The third transistor is coupled between the source terminal of the first transistor and a light-emitting element. The second capacitor is coupled between the source terminal of the first transistor and a reference voltage. The fourth transistor is coupled between the source terminal of the first transistor and a reset voltage.

  • Patent number: 11960997
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for classifying data with a data processing circuit. In one embodiment, the data processing circuit includes a probabilistic circuit configurable to generate a decision at a pre-determined probability, and an output generation circuit including an output node and configured to receive input data and a weight, and generate output data at the output node for approximating a product of the input data and the weight. The generation of the output data includes propagating the weight to the output node according a first decision of the probabilistic circuit. The probabilistic circuit is configured to generate the first decision at a probability determined based on the input data.

  • Patent number: 11895105
    Abstract: An access control system is provided to prevent the surreptitious granting of access to privacy related functionality on an electronic device. Software-based events to grant access to device functionality can be validated by confirming that the software event corresponds with a hardware input event. This validation prevents the spoofing of a user interface input that may be used to fraudulently grant access to specific functionality.

  • Patent number: 11797934
    Abstract: A user having multiple electronic devices may receive notifications at each of the devices. When it is determined that a first device is in an active state and that a notification has been viewed on that device, an indication that the notification has been viewed may be communicated by the first device to a synchronization server. It may then be determined whether the viewed notification is also present on one or more of the user's other devices. Based on the determination, an indication that the notification has been viewed may be sent from the synchronization server to each of the user's devices on which the notification is present. Upon receipt of the indication from the synchronization server, the viewed notification may be removed from each of the devices, thereby avoiding a redundant display of the notification on multiple devices.

  • Publication number: 20210400624
    Abstract: A location control subsystem is provided that allows a user of an electronic device to define the granularity used to provide location coarseness. A user can define a coarse location granularity for an application. When a coarse device location is reported to an application, the location can be provided with at least a minimum degree of variable specificity based on the selected location coarseness. When an application is granted a coarse location, the application is to interpret the provided location indicating that the user may be anywhere within a geographic region of variable specificity, as opposed to being close to a center point with a horizontal accuracy based on the precision of the location fix, as when a fine granularity location is provided. In addition to reducing the spatial resolution of the location that is reported to the application, the temporal resolution may also be reduced.
