In one embodiment, the validation mechanism is implemented for a plurality of searching apparatus in parallel to provide a more distributed and efficient approach. Various other applications for characterized memories are also described in greater detail herein (e.g., blockchain, social media, machine learning, probabilistic applications and other error-tolerant applications). | 2022-08-18 |
20220261063 | BACKLIGHT DIMMING VIA BUCK-BOOST CONVERSION IN AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - Systems and methods for backlight dimming via buck-boost conversion in an information handling system (IHS) are described. In some embodiments, an IHS may include an embedded controller (EC), and a memory coupled to the EC, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the EC to: determine a characteristic of a display having a backlight; and dim the display by controlling a buck-boost converter to reduce a voltage applied to the backlight. | 2022-08-18 |
20220261064 | PROCESSOR-BASED SYSTEM EMPLOYING LOCAL DYNAMIC POWER MANAGEMENT BASED ON CONTROLLING PERFORMANCE AND OPERATING POWER CONSUMPTION, AND RELATED METHODS - Processor-based systems employing local dynamic power management based on controlling performance and operating power consumption, and related methods. The processor-based system is configured to locally manage its power consumption by dynamically adjusting operating frequency and/or operating voltage of power supplied to the processor-based system. The processor-based system includes a power control circuit that is aware of the overall power budget for the processor-based system. The control processor in the processor-based system can dynamically increase the voltage level of the power supplied to the processor-based system and/or the operating frequency if the consumed power is lower than the power budget. The power control circuit can also dynamically decrease the operating frequency and/or the voltage level of the power supplied to the processor-based system if the consumed power is higher than the power budget. | 2022-08-18 |
20220261065 | SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING SENSORY INFORMATION WITH AN INTERACTIVE SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF - In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure there is provided an interactive system. The interactive system may include communication medium between a user and a computer rendered environment. The interactive system may include an image rendering unit to render any of the computer rendered environment. The interactive system may include a sensory signal generating unit providing, to the user, one or more sensory signals. The interactive system may include a sensory response processing unit as a body monitoring unit configured to time provisions of the sensory signals and to acquire/process one or more sensory responses of the user to the sensory signals. | 2022-08-18 |
20220261066 | Systems, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Automatic Measurement in Augmented Reality Environments - A computer system displays, in a user interface, a first representation of a body part that is in a field of view of the one or more cameras. The computer system detects, using the one or more cameras, movement of the body part. The displayed first representation of the body part is updated in accordance with the movement of the body part. The computer system, while displaying the first representation of the body part, displays an indicator at a fixed location relative to the first representation of the body part. The indicator is displayed at a first position in the user interface that overlays at least a portion of the representation of the body part, the indicator is updated in accordance with the movement of the body part, and the indicator includes an indication of a suggested direction of movement of the body part. | 2022-08-18 |
20220261067 | SOLDIER AND SURFACE VEHICLE HEADS-UP DISPLAY IMAGERY COMPENSATION SYSTEM TO ALIGN IMAGERY WITH SURROUNDINGS - A system for rendering a heads-up display element oriented to the surrounding terrain to alleviate cognitive fatigue and eye strain defines buffer regions around a useable region. An orientation element tracks the movement and/or orientation of the user's head and adjusts the useable region via corresponding movements within the buffer regions to align the useable region with the terrain. The orientation element may include a motion tracking camera, micro-electromechanical motion tracking device, etc. Text within the useable region is anchored to a relative location with respect to the horizon for small movements via small translations of the useable region within the buffer regions. For larger movements, the useable is allowed to drift outside the display area completely, and gradually dragged back to a default location according to some time function. | 2022-08-18 |
20220261068 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A BLENDED REALITY USER INTERFACE AND GESTURE CONTROL SYSTEM - A blended reality user interface and gesture control system includes one or more sensors, a head-mounted display, and a blending engine. The blending engine is configured to receive a live reality and virtual reality feeds, track movement of a user using the sensors, detect a command based on the tracked movement, blend the live and virtual reality feeds into a blended view based on the detected command, and display the blended view on the head-mounted display. In some embodiments, the blending engine is further configured to detect an amount of head tilt of the user and adjust a blending factor controlling an amount of transparency of the live reality feed within the blended view based on the amount of head tilt. In some embodiments, the blending engine is further configured to detect manipulation of a controller by the user and adjust the blending factor based on the detected manipulation. | 2022-08-18 |
20220261069 | MEDIA DISPLAY DEVICE CONTROL BASED ON EYE GAZE - Provided is an electronic device that captures a first image of a user. The electronic device determines a position of eye gaze of the user on a first UI element of a plurality of UI elements displayed on a first display screen of the electronic device, based on the first image. The electronic device selects the first UI element based on a determination of the position of the eye gaze on the first UI element for a time interval. The electronic device transmits a first control signal to a media display device, based on the selection of the first UI element. The electronic device receives a feedback image from the media display device. The feedback image indicates control of the media display device based on the first control signal. The electronic device controls the first display screen to display the feedback image with the plurality of UI elements. | 2022-08-18 |
