US Classification:

716 4, 716 1, 716 6

International Classification:

US Classification:

703 2, 703 13, 455 6713, 324520

Abstract:

A pertubative approach based on the Born approximation resolves weakly nonlinear circuit models without requiring explicit high-order device derivatives. Convergence properties and the relation to Volterra series are discussed. According to the disclosed methods, second and third order intermodulation products (IM2, IM3) and intercept points (IP2, IP3) can be calculated by second and third order Born approximations under weakly nonlinear conditions. A diagrammatic representation of nonlinear interactions is presented. Using this diagrammatic technique, both Volterra series and Born approximations can be constructed in a systematic way. The method is generalized to calculate other high-order nonlinear effects such as IMn (nth order intermodulation product) and IPn (nth order intermodulation intercept point). In general, the equations are developed in harmonic form and can be implemented in both time and frequency domains for analog and RF circuits.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

703 14

Abstract:

Described is a process for performing an improved mixed frequency-time algorithm to simulate responses of a circuit that receives a periodic sample signal and at least one information signal. The process selects a set of evenly spaced distinct time points and a set of reference time points. Each of the reference points is associated with a distinct time point, and a reference time point is a signal period away from its respective distinct time point. The process finds a first set of relationships between the values at the distinct time points and the values the reference time points. The process also finds a second set of relationships between the values at the distinct time points and the values at the reference time points. The process then combines the first and second sets of relationships to establish a system of nonlinear equations in terms of the values at the distinct time points only. By solving the system of nonlinear equations, the process finds simulated responses of the circuit in time domain.

International Classification:

G06T 19/00

Abstract:

In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes scanning a first physical environment to detect a first physical object in the first physical environment and a second physical object in the first physical environment, wherein the first physical object meets at least one first object criterion and the second physical object meets at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the first physical environment, a virtual object moving along a first path from the first physical object to the second physical object. The method includes scanning a second physical environment to detect a third physical object in the second physical environment and a fourth physical object in the second physical environment, wherein the third physical object meets the at least one first object criterion and the fourth physical object meets the at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the second physical environment, the virtual object moving along a second path from the third physical object to the fourth physical object, wherein the second path is different than the first path.

Abstract:

According to various implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes displaying, on the display, a virtual agent that is associated with a first viewing frustum. The first viewing frustum includes a user avatar associated with a user, and the user avatar includes a visual representation of one or more eyes. The method includes, while displaying the virtual agent associated with the first viewing frustum, obtaining eye tracking data that is indicative of eye behavior associated with an eye of the user, updating the visual representation of one or more eyes based on the eye behavior, and directing the virtual agent to perform an action based on the updating and scene information associated with the electronic device.
