Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for direct viewer projection, which involves having each pixel's emitted light aimed at or otherwise provided directly to the target pupil of a viewing person. In one embodiment, the techniques are implemented using steerable, collimated light sources fashioned into an array to effectively provide a display screen. Each steerable, collimated light source of the array corresponds to one pixel of a given image at a given viewing location, such that no one light source shows a whole image; rather, the whole array is used to display an image. The array can be scanned to provide different images to different viewing locations. The content projected to the different locations may be related (e.g., a movie) or unrelated (e.g., two different movies). A specific viewer can be identified and tracked such that the content is only projected to the target viewer's eyes and no one else's.

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for context based spectrum management. A device may include a user preference determination module to determine a level-of-service preference of a user of the device, the preference associated with an application. The device may also include a user state determination module, to determine a state of the user, and a device capability determination module, to determine capabilities of the device. The device may further include an application programming interface (API) to provide the context to a cloud-based server configured to manage spectrum. The context includes the preference, the state and the capabilities. The API is further configured to receive content delivery options from the cloud-based server.
Abstract:
According to some embodiments, a method and apparatus are provided to vary a clock signal frequency for a first time period between a lower limit of a range of problematic frequencies and a frequency lower than the lower limit, and vary the clock signal frequency for a second period of time between an upper limit of the range of problematic frequencies and a frequency greater than the upper limit.
Abstract:
Embodiments are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for suppressing power supply noise using data scrambling in double data rate memory systems. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes a transmit data path to transmit data to one or more memory devices. The transmit data path may include scrambling logic to generate, in parallel, N pseudo random outputs that are uncorrelated with each other. The output data and the pseudo random outputs are input to XOR logic. The transmit data path transmits the output the of XOR logic which has a substantially white frequency spectrum. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A technique for reducing power consumption in voltage and current steered differential busses that transmit and receive encoded signals is described. A circuit is used to save power in the static state. The circuit blocks static current flow, but allows the frequency components associated with the signaling band.
Abstract:
A method of adjusting a circuit operating characteristic. The method includes generating a first signal for application to a reference termination. The method then includes generating a first voltage based on the first signal at a first point on the reference termination and generating a second voltage based on the first signal at a second point on the reference termination. The method also includes adjusting an operating characteristic based upon the first voltage and the second voltage. In an embodiment, the operating characteristic can be an impedance.
Abstract:
A method for managing information includes receiving bits of data, determining phasors for bits at only one frequency of a transmission spectrum, combining the phasors of bits that form a phasor having a spectral energy that lies within a predetermined range, and forming a codeword from the bits of the combined phasors.

A system may include a receiver module configured to receive a digital television (DTV) signal. The system may also include a data extraction module configured to extract the web cache data from the DTV signal, wherein the web cache data is encoded within the spectral bandwidth of the DTV signal. The system may further include a network interface configured to transmit the extracted web cache data to a device that includes a web cache pre-loading service.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is described herein for reducing noise in a power distribution network for an interface. The power distribution network is characterized. And based on that characterization, worst case patterns for the interface are predicted and avoided. As one example, characterization includes providing a stimulus, such as a step function stimulus, and determining a mathematical function response, such as a step function response. Then, based on the step function response, a resonant frequency for the power distribution network is determined; from which patterns that cause the resonant frequency are identified/predicted. And when identified patterns are detected, they are scrambled or manipulated to avoid causing a worst-case noise scenario in an interface's power distribution network.
