  • Patent number: 12276734
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for providing an encrypted LIDAR system, which may be used in autonomous vehicles. Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide LIDAR systems and methods employing a cryptographically secure deterministic random bit generator (DRBG) to generate a secure pseudorandom key sequence. The secure pseudorandom key sequence can be encoded into light pulses emitted by the exemplary systems and methods. Subsequently, upon receipt of reflected light, the exemplary systems and methods can authenticate the received reflected light to confirm the key sequence encoded in the received reflected light. If the key sequence encoded in the received reflected light matches the key sequence encoded into the emitted light pulse, parameters associated with the emitted and reflected light can be used to determine a distance to the object that may have reflected the emitted light pulse.

  • Publication number: 20250075680
    Abstract: A wind turbine assembly includes a falling weight system to store potential energy within the wind turbine assembly. The falling weight system utilizes a pair of gears that can rotate to raise and lower weights within a cavity of the tower section. In addition, an assembly ring that is configured to climb a tower section of a wind turbine assembly may be used to assemble a wind turbine assembly or to perform maintenance on wind turbine assemblies. In some examples, a ballast weight system utilizing a ballast weight tank that lowers by being filled with water may be used to input rotational energy into a generator to create electricity.

  • Patent number: 12237645
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for rapid laser recharging. A pulse emitting device may include an emitter to emit pulses, a first capacitor to provide pulses to the emitter, a second capacitor to charge the first capacitor, a first gate and a second gate to control the flow of current to the capacitors and the emitter, and a power supply configured to supply energy associated with the pulses. When the first gate is open, the first capacitor charges a first pulse of the pulses. When the first gate closes, the emitter emits the first pulse. When the first gate opens, the second gate closes and the second capacitor charges the first capacitor with a second pulse of the pulses. When the second gate opens after the second capacitor charges the first capacitor with the second pulse, the first gate closes and the emitter emits the second pulse.

  • Patent number: 12205505
    Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide a flexible display that is configurable when being worn around a wrist of a user to increase a display width area. The electronic device includes a strap having an outer layer presenting the flexible display and an inner support layer attached to an underside of the flexible display. The strap is positionable between an uncoiled position and the coiled position with lateral edges of first and second terminal ends of the strap juxtaposed in abutted alignment. In response to determining the coiled position based on a sensor or a user interface input, a display driver of the electronic device selectively renders display content and presents rendered display content within a coil display area that is two straps wide of terminal ends of the strap in juxtaposed adjacent position.

  • Patent number: 12192719
    Abstract: In aspects of audio level adjustment based on UWB, a wireless device includes an ultra-wideband (UWB) radio to communicate with UWB radios respectively associated with speakers emitting audio. The UWB radio can receive UWB ranging data from the UWB radios associated with the speakers. An audio controller can utilize the UWB ranging data to monitor locations of the wireless device relative to the speakers and determine a location change of the wireless device relative to the speakers. The audio controller can communicate audio adjustment instructions based on the locations of the wireless device relative to the speakers or relative to the location change of the wireless device. The audio adjustment instructions can initiate an adjustment of a sound level of the audio emitted from at least one of the speakers and/or initiate a delay in the audio emitted from at least one of the speakers.

  • Patent number: 12155789
    Abstract: A voice call is established between two or more computing devices. The voice call may be, for example, audio only or audio and video. One computing device, referred to as a near-end device, receives a digital representation of background noise captured at another computing device, referred to as a far-end device. The near-end device captures voice audio from the user of the near-end device and adjusts the voice audio based at least in part on the digital representation of the background noise at the far-end device. The near-end device then transmits the adjusted voice audio to the far-end device for playback at the far-end device.

  • Patent number: 12142289
    Abstract: An adaptive echo cancellation system introduces an acoustic reference signal to audio content being transmitted to the speaker for playback. The acoustic reference signal is an out-of-band signal, such as an ultrasonic signal, which is typically not audible to humans. The microphone of the mobile device receives the audio content played back by the speaker as well as audio content introduced by the user (e.g., the speech of the user). The adaptive echo cancellation system detects the acoustic reference signal and determines a time delay between when the acoustic reference signal was introduced to the audio content and when the audio content including the acoustic reference signal was received by the mobile device. Echo is cancelled from the received audio content based on this determined time delay.
