  • Patent number: 11528788
    Abstract: An LED lighting device includes a luminescent device driven by a rectified AC voltage, a current detecting circuit, a current regulating circuit, and a duty cycle detecting circuit. The current regulating circuit is configured to provide a regulating current so that the current flowing through the luminescent device does not exceed the regulating current. The current detecting circuit is configured to monitor the value of the regulating current, and the duty cycle detecting circuit is configured to monitor the duty cycle of the regulating current. The present invention can improve the overall line regulation of the LED lighting device when the rectified AC voltage somehow fluctuates between its upper bound and lower bound.

  • Patent number: 11517373
    Abstract: An applicator comprising multiple laser assemblies connected to a power supply and a controller that switches each pulse to a different one of the laser assemblies. Each laser assembly deposits a laser spot on the skin and the result is to produce a large ‘aggregate’ spot without requiring extra power or extra lasers. In one embodiment, each pulse serves as a trigger to switch the next pulse to the next laser assembly.

  • Patent number: 11489763
    Abstract: A dataflow hierarchy protocol is implemented by one or more devices to optimize how the one or more devices process datagrams for network communications. The dataflow hierarchy considers various available network pathways for dataflow. A device implementing the dataflow hierarchy selects one or more of the available network pathways to provide low latency in data communication with other devices. The device may sample various available network pathways to determine pathway metrics (e.g., latency) and select one or more network pathways based on the metrics. The available network pathways can include pathways through one or more intermediary nodes, such as pathways through a game server, pathways through a cell tower, and pathways through a network.
