Publication number: 20190317593Abstract: Image editing on a wearable device includes a system which obtains sensor data via the wearable device. The sensor data includes a representation of hand movement, head movement or voice command associated with a user. The system executes an application for editing an image based on the obtained sensor data. The system provides for display a list of image adjustment types associated with the application. The system selects an image adjustment type based on one or more of the hand movement, the head movement or the voice command. The system provides for display a prompt having options to adjust a property of the selected image adjustment type. The system selects one of the options included in the prompt. The system modifies an image based on the selected option.

Publication number: 20190202188Abstract: Adhesive bleed-through of substrates and build-up of adhesive on process equipment can be reduced or even fully eliminated by increasing the running temperature of circumferential rolls (e.g., nip rollers or idlers) used to compress and adhesively bond the substrates of a laminate structure together, as opposed to the usual cooling of the nip rollers. This method is particularly beneficial when using polyolefin-based hot melt adhesives to form laminates with permeable substrates, such as low basis weight nonwovens, for use in disposable absorbent articles. The method can be used to make a range of laminated structures, such as bi-laminates and tri-laminates.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2017Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Steven Daniel GRAY, Ronald Frank GRAF, David Frederic FREUND, Miao HU, Russell P.

Patent number: 10082847Abstract: A temperature of a component within the portable computing device (PCD) may be monitored along with a parameter associated with the temperature. The parameter associated with temperature may be an operating frequency, transmission power, or a data flow rate. It is determined if the temperature has exceeded a threshold value. If the temperature has exceeded the threshold value, then the temperature is compared with a temperature set point and a first error value is then calculated based on the comparison. Next, a first optimum value of the parameter is determined based on the first error value. If the temperature is below or equal to the threshold value, then a present value of the parameter is compared with a desired threshold for the parameter and a second error value is calculated based on the comparison. A second optimum value of the parameter may be determined based on the second error value.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vijay Raman, Amy Derbyshire, Christopher Medrano, Shiju Abraham Mathew, Ronald Frank Alton, Jon James Anderson

Patent number: 9977439Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for energy efficiency aware thermal management in a portable computing device that contains a heterogeneous, multi-processor system on a chip (“SoC”) are disclosed. Because individual processing components in a heterogeneous, multi-processor SoC may exhibit different processing efficiencies at a given temperature, energy efficiency aware thermal management techniques that compare performance data of the individual processing components at their measured operating temperatures can be leveraged to optimize quality of service (“QoS”) by adjusting the power supplies to, reallocating workloads away from, or transitioning the power mode of, the least energy efficient processing components. In these ways, embodiments of the solution optimize the average amount of power consumed across the SoC to process a MIPS of workload.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hee Jun Park, Young Hoon Kang, Ronald Frank Alton, Christopher Lee Medrano, Jon James Anderson

Patent number: 9557797Abstract: Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for selecting preferred processor core combinations for a state of a computing device. In an aspect, a state of a computing device containing the multi-core processor may be determined. A number of current leakage ratios may be determined by comparing current leakages of the processor cores to current leakages of the other processor cores. The ratios may be compared to boundaries for the state of the computing device in respective inequalities. A processor core associated with a number of boundaries may be selected in response to determining that the respective inequalities are true. The boundaries may be associated with a set of processor cores deemed preferred for an associated state of the computing device. The processor core present in the set of processor cores for each boundary of a true inequality may be the selected processor core.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Rajat Mittal, Mehdi Saeidi, Tao Xue, Ronald Frank Alton, Rajit Chandra, Sachin Dasnurkar
