Publication number: 20240096263Abstract: A device may include image processing circuitry that generates image data corresponding to an image to be displayed during a first image frame and a second image frame. However, the image data is not regenerated for the second image frame. The device may also include an electronic display having a frame buffer that receives and stores the image data from the image processing circuitry. The electronic display may also include a display panel that displays the image during the first image frame based on a first read of the image data from the frame buffer in response to a first emission sync signal and displays the image during the second image frame based on a second read of the image data from the frame buffer in response to a second emission sync signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Denis M.

Patent number: 10763587Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are disclosed for communicating between a short range wireless (WLAN) user device, such as a wearable, phone, or tablet, with a base station. Traditional low power communication (e.g., WLAN, WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular links, etc.) involve an inefficient amplification process of a signal from the WLAN user to the base station, whereby significant power must be expended in the WLAN user device making it unsuitable in many applications. A reflector link paradigm is disclosed in which the user device communicates by modulating the extent of signal reflected back to the base station. An enhanced reflector is also disclosed which overcomes adverse effects of ambient reflections.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignees: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Mau-Chung Frank Chang, Yanghyo Kim, Adrian Tang, Nacer Chahat

Patent number: 10305606Abstract: Communication between a wireless base-station and a microwave reflector link are enhanced by feeding back a portion of the transmitter signal, adjusted for phase and amplitude, to cancel ambient reflection blocker signals being received at the base-station. The microwave reflector link does not utilize a transmitter gain stage, but communicates data back to the base-station in response to modulating the reflections of its antenna (e.g., in gain and/or phase). The disclosure aids in the proper amplification and processing of reflection signals from the microwave reflector link, by canceling out the blocking signals which arise as background objects reflect transmitter signal energy back to the base-station.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignees: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Mau-Chung Frank Chang, Yanghyo Kim, Adrian J.

Patent number: 9712368Abstract: A chip-to-chip communications circuit which is particularly well-suited for short range communication (less than a few inches) from one integrated circuit (chip) to another is presented. The circuits preferably utilize multi-frequency quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mechanisms for converting digital data bits from a parallel form into a serial analog stream for communication over a chip I/O connection. Differential current mode modulation in the transmitter, and demodulation in the receiver, are utilized which reduce latency and power-consumption while increasing manufacturing yields and resilience to process variations.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Sheau Jiung Lee, Mau-Chung Frank Chang, Wei-Han Cho, Yanghyo Kim

Patent number: 9369318Abstract: A serializer and de-serializer circuit which is particularly well-suited for use in communicating digital data from one integrated circuit (chip) to another for implementing chip-to-chip communications is presented. The circuits are scalable and utilize a multi-frequency quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mechanism for converting digital data bits from a parallel form into a serial analog stream for communication over a chip I/O connection. The serializer has multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs) whose outputs are directed to QAM mixer inputs, within QAMs at multiple frequencies, whose outputs are summed into a single analog signal for communication over an I/O connection. The de-serializer amplifies the analog signal which is received by QAM mixers at different frequencies, whose outputs are low pass filtered and converted back to parallel digital data bits.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2015Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Sheau Jiung Lee, Mau-Chung Frank Chang, Yanghyo Kim
