  • Patent number: 11582275
    Abstract: An online meeting system begins the process of connecting a user to an online meeting when the user enters a prejoin dialog for choosing meeting settings, rather than waiting until the user chooses to actually join the meeting after entering settings. Starting the meeting connection process at this time allows a shorter perceived connection time to the meeting and thus reduces user frustration with the meeting system.

  • Publication number: 20220327360
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory media for performing radio frequency sensing detection operations. For instance, radio frequency data can be received that is associated with at least one wireless device. The radio frequency data can be based on radio frequency signals reflected from a first object and received by the at least one wireless device. Training label data can also be obtained (e.g., from a labeling device, from the at least one wireless device, etc.). The training label data can be based at least in part on the first object and input data (e.g., received by the labeling device, the at least one wireless device, etc.). A sensing model can be generated based on the radio frequency data and the training label data.

  • Patent number: 11428646
    Abstract: Optical fabrication monitor structures can be included in a design fabricated on a wafer from a mask or fabrication reticle. A first set of components can be formed in an initial fabrication cycle, where the first set includes functional components and monitor structures. A second set of components can be formed by subsequent fabrication processes that can potentially cause errors or damage to the first set of components. The monitor structures can be implemented during fabrication (e.g., in a cleanroom) to detect fabrication errors without pulling or scrapping the wafer.

  • Patent number: 11113455
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for rendering web pages by a wireless device in order to reduce an amount of data transmitted over-the-air to the wireless device. In one embodiment, a method is performed by a server, comprising receiving a markup language document from a web server via a network interface, the markup language document corresponding to a web page. Next, the markup language document is parsed into a number of blocks by a processor, each of the blocks comprising code representing original content of the web page. Then, the processor creates one or more replacement blocks, each of the replacement blocks corresponding to a respective one of the blocks, each of the replacement blocks comprising code representing substituted content of the web page. Some of the blocks and at least one of the replacement blocks are then sent to a wireless device for rendering.

  • Patent number: 10578675
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for estimating a battery capacity of an electronic device. When a current or an average current of the battery is zero, a reference capacity is inquired from a look-up table based on a voltage of the battery. When a previously remaining capacity is greater than a reference capacity, a deduction process of a self-consumable capacity is performed one or more times for a previously recorded remaining capacity to obtain a new recorded remaining capacity smaller than the reference capacity. When the current of the battery is less than zero, a deduction process of a count capacity of discharging is performed one or more times for the previously recorded remaining capacity until a power of the battery is exhausted to obtain a first offset capacity. The first offset capacity is deducted from a previously recorded full charge capacity to estimate a new full charge capacity.
