  • Publication number: 20230273296
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless device may transmit a frequency-modulated continuous-waveform (FMCW) dual ramp radar signal over a time duration that sweeps from a first frequency to a second frequency and from the second frequency to the first frequency. The wireless device may receive a reflection of the radar signal with a first reflected part that corresponds to the first part of the radar signal and a second reflected part that corresponds to the second part of the radar signal. The wireless device may compare the first reflected part and a time-inverted version of the second reflected part to estimate a noise pattern. The wireless device may perform an action based at least in part on the noise pattern. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20230264949
    Abstract: A preclean process may be omitted from a eutectic bonding sequence. To remove oxide from one or more surfaces of a device wafer of a micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) structure, a duration of an acid-based etch process in the eutectic bonding sequence may be increased relative to the duration of the acid-based etch process when the preclean process is performed. The increased duration of the acid-based etch process enables the acid-based etch process to remove the oxide from the one or more surfaces of the device wafer without the use of a preceding preclean process. This reduces the complexity and cycle time of the eutectic bonding sequence, reduces the risk of stiction between suspended mechanical components of the MEMS structure, and/or reduces the likelihood that the MEMS structure may be rendered defective or inoperable during manufacturing, which increases process yield.

  • Patent number: 11734806
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for dynamic tone mapping of video content. An example embodiment operates by identifying, by a dynamic tone mapping system executing on a media device, characteristics of a first video signal having a first dynamic range based on a frame-by-frame analysis of the first video signal. The example embodiment further operates by modifying, by the dynamic tone mapping system, a tone mapping curve based on the characteristics of the first video signal to generate a modified tone mapping curve. Subsequently, the example embodiment operates by converting, by the dynamic tone mapping system, the first video signal based on the modified tone mapping curve to generate a second video signal having a second dynamic range that is less than the first dynamic range.
