ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,689,469, issued on July 21, was assigned to Nordic Semiconductor ASA (Trondheim, Norway).

"Computing a polar transformation" was invented by Matias Jarvenpaa (Oulu, Finland) and Petri Vaisanen (Oulu, Finland).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A radio apparatus is configured to implement a method for computing a polar transformation of an input bit sequence of 2n bits for transmission by radio. The method comprises storing the input bit sequence in electronic memory as a working bit sequence, and then computing a bitwise XOR of a contiguous first half of the working bit sequence with a contiguous second half of the working bit sequence, the s...
