Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication of parameter settings of a port selection codebook. The port selection codebook includes a port selection matrix W1, a combinational coefficient matrix W2, and a frequency basis selection matrix Wf. Based at least in part on the parameter settings, the UE selects L CSI-RS ports, Mv frequency basis from a window of N consecutive frequency basis; and up to beta*L*Mv entries per layer, where beta is a percentage of the L*Mv entries per layer. The UE reports one or more of the port selection matrix W1, the up to beta*L*Mv entries in the combinational coefficient matrix W2 per layer, and the frequency basis selection matrix Wf to the base station.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide attestation for a transient version of an application while reusing the attestation and the cryptographic key on which the attestation is based for the full version of the application should the user obtain the full version of the application prior to the transient version being deleted. As an example, a computing device can detect an upgrade event corresponding to replacing an application clip with the full version of the application, and associate the cryptographic key already stored in a key database with the full version of the application. Associating the existing key with the full version of the application enables the full application to automatically take over the attestation previously provided for the application clip, saving time and resources that would otherwise be used for establishing a new attestation for the full version of the application.

Abstract: A compliant interface for a wearable electronic device includes a three-dimensional lattice structure that is coupleable to the wearable electronic device and compressible to conform to one or more of a facial feature or an upper cranial feature of a user wearing the wearable electronic device. The compliant interface may be one of a facial interface of a head-mounted display unit, a head interface of a head-mounted display unit, or a head interface of a headphones unit. The three-dimensional lattice structure may be formed of silicone that may form less than 35% of a volume of the three-dimensional lattice structure in an uncompressed state. Compliance of the facial interface may vary by locations at which the compliant interface engages the user. The compliance may vary according to one or more of geometric stiffness or maximum deflection of the three-dimensional lattice structure.

Abstract: Clock alignment circuitry may include phase detection circuitry and programmable delay circuitry to facilitate aligning a data signal with a particular state of a clock signal. For example, phase detection circuitry may be disposed at a location of interest to monitor the relative timing of the clock signal and the data signal. Based on the monitored states, the programmable delay circuitry may determine the delay to be applied to the data signal (e.g., prior to propagating through logic operations and transmission to the location of interest) such that the data signal later arrives at the location of interest at a suitable time. Effectively, a programmable delay is added to the delay encountered by the data signal during processing and transmission to the location of interest such that the total delay results in the data signal arriving at the location of interest while the clock signal is in the desired state.
