  • Publication number: 20240233521
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for traffic flow control. In an aspect, an on-board computer (OBC) of a vehicle of a secondary traffic flow determines that a primary traffic flow is passing through an intersection associated with a traffic light, wherein the determination that the primary traffic flow is passing through the intersection is based on sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, or any combination thereof, and reduces a speed of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from tripping a traffic light sensor associated with the traffic light until after the primary traffic flow has passed through the intersection.

  • Patent number: 11762102
    Abstract: System and method for adjusting timing error in a mobile device. In the mobile device, a crystal oscillator (XO) is used by a system timer as the timing source. When the mobile device enters into a sleep mode, the system timer is set to time the duration of the sleep mode. During the sleep mode, a thermistor is used to measure and monitor the temperature changes of the XO. After the sleep mode is over, a processor in the mobile device determines the frequency changes of the XO based on the temperature changes of the XO. Based on the frequency changes of the XO, the processor determines the timing error that may have occurred when the system timer was timing the sleep mode and determines the actual duration of the sleep mode by adjusting the duration timed by the system timer based on the timing error.

  • Publication number: 20170180149
    Abstract: The various embodiments include methods and systems for facilitating the configuration of smart objects within a wireless communication system by leveraging the microphonic effect to enable a user to identify each smart object to a control device. By configuring the control device to monitor wireless signals from a plurality of smart objects for small modulations due to the microphonic effect from a user tap on a particular smart object, the control device may recognize a particular smart device to be configured. By coordinating the monitoring for small modulations in received signals with a user interface for registering smart objects, various embodiments provide a simple mechanism by which users can correlate smart objects to corresponding icons or object names in a control interface. The various embodiments enable a user to complete the onboarding a smart objects with a control device without requiring the need to enter information into a user interface.
