Filed:

Dec 31, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/650699

Inventors:

Daniel Harley Wagner - Grayslake IL, US
Michael Frederick David Olley - Lake Zurich IL, US

Assignee:

MOTOROLA, INC. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G06F 3/045
H04B 1/10

US Classification:

345174, 375346

Abstract:

Methods, systems and apparatus are provided that implement duty cycle modulation of periodic time-synchronous (PTS) receivers for noise reduction. For instance, when a composite signal is received at a PTS receiver, the composite signal includes an input signal and a noise signal. The composite signal is input to a transmission gate of the PTS receiver. The PTS receiver also receives a gating control input signal that turns the transmission gate on and off. A duty cycle controller adjusts a variable duty cycle of the gating control input signal applied to the transmission gate to output an output signal from the transmission gate such that one or more components of the noise signal present in the composite signal is/are reduced in the output signal that is output by the transmission gate.

International Classification:

H04N 17/00

US Classification:

348187, 348E17002

Abstract:

A method and system for determining a camera-to-display latency of an electronic device () having a camera () and touch-sensitive display () are disclosed. In one example embodiment, the method () includes receiving () first light () at the camera, and essentially simultaneously receiving second light () at a first photosensitive structural portion (). The method () further includes detecting () a first simulated touch input at the display () in response to a first actuation of the first photosensitive structural portion (), receiving third light () at a second photosensitive structural portion (), the third light being generated based at least indirectly upon the received first light (), detecting () a second simulated touch input at the display () as a result of the receiving of the third light (), and determining the camera-to-display latency based at least indirectly upon the touch inputs ().

Appl. No.:

17/323095

Inventors:

Daniel Joseph Wagner - Naperville IL, US

International Classification:

A63B 69/36
A63B 47/02

Abstract:

A device for golf putting practice that is an all-in-one golf ball target cup, golf ball collection and storage for up to a dozen golf balls. A quadrilateral tube is connected to a pole with handle. A ball storage bag is connected to the said quadrilateral tube. This device allows for maximum amount of golf ball practice putts in a very short period of time. Balls are dropped on the practice putting surface from the device storage bag. The device is placed at the desired putting target location and putting practice can begin. Ball collection is completed with the device without bending over, reducing the work and time required.

Appl. No.:

14/512702

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Daniel H. Wagner - Grayslake IL, US

International Classification:

H02M 3/156

Abstract:

A method and apparatus operate a switchmode power supply. The apparatus can include a pulse width modulation controller that can produce a first pulse width modulation signal at a first frequency. The apparatus can include a switchmode power supply switching element including a control terminal. The apparatus can include a harmonic filter coupled between the pulse width modulation controller and the control terminal of the switching element. The harmonic filter can provide a second pulse width modulation signal at a second frequency to the control terminal of the switching element. The second frequency can be higher than the first frequency.

Appl. No.:

14/098898

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Roshan Kamath - Hainesville IL, US
Daniel H. Wagner - Grayslake IL, US

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320107, 320137

Abstract:

An electronic device having an auto-on circuit is provided. The electronic device can include a power supply or charging circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit can cause the power supply or charging circuit to deliver energy to an external device. The auto-on circuit can activate the control circuit in response to one or more trigger input circuits. Each trigger input circuit can actuate a switch and deliver an auto-on signal to the control circuit. The control circuit can then actuate a latch to deliver power to a power input terminal to keep itself powered ON.

320137, 307112

Abstract:

An electronic device having an auto-on circuit is provided. The electronic device can include a charging circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit can cause the charging circuit to deliver energy to an external device. The auto-on circuit, which can include an active circuit, can activate the control circuit in response to one or more trigger input circuits. Each trigger input circuit can actuate a switch and deliver an auto-on signal to the control circuit. The control circuit can then actuate a latch to deliver power to a power input terminal to keep itself powered ON.
