Low-power wireless receivers and low-power communication methods and systems are provided. According to some embodiments, a low-power wireless receiver can comprise an input module, a controller, and a feedback loop. The input module can receive a wireless signal from a wireless communication channel. The controller can receive the wireless signal and provide a control signal corresponding to the wireless communication channel. The controller can be operatively configured to dynamically modify the control signal responsive to conditions of the wireless signal and / or the communication channel. The feedback loop can be disposed between the controller and the input module and can dynamically provide the control signal to the input module such that the input module can modify quality conditions of the wireless signal. Dynamic adaptations can occur in real-time so that a low-power wireless device can manage power consumption in response to a quality of signal metric that reflects conditions of a wireless communication channel. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.

The invention relates to network adaptive latency reduction through frame rate control. Novel solutions are provided for consistent Quality of Service in cloud gaming system that adaptively and dynamically compensate for poor network conditions by moderating rendered frame rates using frame rate capping to optimize for network latency savings (or surplus). In further embodiments, the encoding / sentframe rate to the client can also be managed in addition, or as an alternative to capping the rendered frame rates. The claimed embodiments not only maintain a constant Quality of Service (QoS) for the user, but may also be employed to leverage higher-performing networks to reduce operational costs.

A solenoid-operated valve controller includes a first signal line and a second signal line, which are connected respectively to ends of a first solenoid coil and a second solenoid coil. The first solenoid coil and the second solenoid coil have other ends, which are electrically connected in common to a switch. One of the first and second solenoid coils, which corresponds to signal states of a plurality of input signals that are supplied respectively to the first and second signal lines, is selected, and the switch is turned on and off to control the selected one of the first and second solenoid coils.

The invention provides a locator-based locating method. A locator comprises a central processing unit, a wireless unit, a global positioning system (GPS) locating unit, an inertial navigation unit, a mobile communication unit and a storage unit. The method comprises the following steps that a corresponding external monitoring end is searched based on a wireless detection signal; whether the current distance between the locator and the external monitoring end exceeds a first distance threshold value is determined based on the current wireless signal intensity and a mapping table stored in the storage unit; the inertial navigation unit is started when the current distance exceeds the first distance threshold value; whether the current distance exceeds a second distance threshold value is determined by detecting whether wireless connection can be established between the locator and the external monitoring end; and the mobile communication unit and the GPS locating unit are started when the current distance exceeds the second distance threshold value. By combining low power consumption Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WIFI), a gyroscope and an accelerometer, the problem of power consumption due to the sustained use of a mobile network and GPS locating is solved.

An automatic adjustment circuit comprises a replica (1) constituted of either a circuit block of a portion of a filter body (3) or a combination of the circuit block, and fed with a reference signal (2) from the outside, for outputting signals having a phase delays of 90 degrees and 180 degrees with respect to the reference signal (2), and an integrating comparator (4) fed at its input terminal with an output signal, as having a phase delay of 180 degrees, of the replica (1) and the reference signal (2), and at its clock terminal with an output signal, as having a phase delay of 90 degrees, of the replica (1), and having an output terminal connected with a capacity (C1) and a frequency characteristic adjusting terminal of the replica (1). The automatic adjusting circuit is characterized in that the integrating action of the integrating comparator (4) is performed across the two high / low states of the input signal.
