  • Publication number: 20240161670
    Abstract: Dynamic refresh rate (DRR) switching is used to dynamically update a refresh rate of content presented on an interface. When a first application and a second application are presented on a user interface at a first refresh rate; a request may be received to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second, higher, refresh rate. DRR switching is initiated as the first refresh rate is temporarily boosted to a second refresh rate. Applications that are opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at the second refresh rate, while applications that are not opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at a virtualized refresh rate that matches the first refresh rate. Thus, the first application refreshes content at the first refresh rate and the second application refreshes content at the second, higher refresh rate, providing a smooth user experience without unnecessarily utilizing power consumption.

  • Patent number: 11878801
    Abstract: An aft pivot assembly includes a height adjustment mechanism integrated into a device for mounting a payload, to enable release of the payload. The aft pivot assembly releasably secures an aft portion of the payload, such a pod, store, ordinance, or fuel tank. The aft pivot assembly includes a shaft operable with the mount device and a release component, the shaft being rotatable about multiple shaft axes relative to the mount device so as to either minimize or eliminate carriage loads about the aft portion, while reacting jettison loads during a jettison event or phase. The rotation of the shaft about its shaft axes can further be limited via a limit device. As the payload transitions from a carriage phase to a jettison phase, the shaft moves in multiple degrees of freedom and in multiple axes relative to the mount device.

  • Patent number: 11853505
    Abstract: A gaming input device implements a method of adjusting input polling rate in various usage scenarios to optimize performance in light of scenario-specific considerations. The device detects a usage scenario and maps it to an optimized input polling rate, then requests the optimized input polling rate from associated firmware and hardware so an adjustment can be accomplished. The automated adjustment to polling rate accounts for problems associated with various usage scenarios, such as latency and power consumption, and allows for optimization specific to each scenario.

  • Publication number: 20230360725
    Abstract: During operation, a computer system may receive information corresponding to identified molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in a tissue sample. Then, the computer system may determine a symmetric normalized odds ratio, which corresponds to damage of the DNA, based at least in part on the information. Moreover, determining the symmetric normalized odds ratio may include: computing a first odds ratio; computing a second odds ratio, where a numerator and a denominator in the second odds ratio are reversed relative to the first odds ratio; summing the first odds ratio and the second odds ratio; and normalizing the summation. Next, the computer system may calculate a confidence metric of one or more of the molecules based at least in part on the symmetric normalized odds ratio and a threshold, wherein the confidence metric corresponds to a probability that the one or more molecules are identified correctly.

  • Publication number: 20230253115
    Abstract: A method building models for predicting patient response to drug therapies uses patient data, including functional data, clinical data, and, in some implementations, genetic data (e.g., DNA extracted from diseased tissue). The functional data includes initial cell viability and cell viability in response to exposure to one or more drug therapies, and the clinical data includes patient information over time. For each patient, the method forms a feature vector comprising the functional data and the clinical data (and genetic data, when used). The method uses at least a subset of the feature vectors to train a first model to predict individual patient response to a first drug therapy. The method then stores the trained first model in a database for subsequent use in predicting patient response to the first drug therapy. Another method predicts patient responses to one or more drug therapies using the trained models.

  • Patent number: 11580161
    Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to data search system that can facilitate data searches such that the amount of computing resources such as processing power and bandwidth used to generate and output search results is reduced. For example, in response to a search request specifying a set of search criteria, the data search system may identify a combination of sub-criteria, access a pre-generated threshold corresponding to the combination of sub-criteria, determine a real-time index value corresponding to the combination of sub-criteria, identify a plurality of resources that satisfy the set of search criteria, and output a subset of the plurality of resources to the user computing device from which the search request was received.
