  • Patent number: 12244343
    Abstract: This application is directed to device synchronization and alignment in extended reality. Two electronic devices create two maps of a scene according to two distinct coordinate systems. A first electronic device determines a device pose of a second electronic device in a first coordinate system of the first electronic device. The device pose is used to determine a transformation relationship between the two coordinate systems. The first electronic device obtains a second object pose that is measured in a second coordinate system of the second electronic device and used to render an object in a second map of the second electronic device. The second object pose is converted to a first object pose in the first coordinate system based on the transformation relationship. The object is rendered concurrently in the first and second maps of the first and second electronic devices based on the first and second object poses, respectively.

    Abstract: A flyback converter with improved performance is discussed. The flyback converter may be nor may not be under a burst mode; or may exit from the burst mode. When the flyback converter is under a normal operation mode, the secondary power switch is turned on after the primary power switch is turned off, until an OFF condition of is met; and the secondary power switch is turned on again for an additional time before the primary power switch is turned on at a next switching cycle. When the flyback converter enters the burst mode and then exits from the burst mode, the secondary power switch is not turned on again for the additional time before a primary power switch's turn-on at the next switching cycle.
