Abstract: Method of forming a semiconductor device are provided. In some implementations, the method includes positioning a substrate into a processing chamber, the substrate having an exposed non-crystalline surface and an exposed crystalline surface. The method further includes heating the processing chamber to a temperature for deposition. The method further includes injecting a pre-treatment gas into the processing chamber. The pre-treatment gas comprises a molecule that acts to lower interfacial energy between the exposed non-crystalline surface and the exposed crystalline surface. The method further includes injecting a deposition gas into the processing chamber to selectively grow an n-type doped epitaxial silicon layer on the exposed crystalline surface.

Abstract: RFID readers may be configured to supply power to tags during frequency hops. When a reader is supplying power to a passive RFID tag via a first RF waveform having a first radio frequency and determines that it is to frequency-hop, the reader may determine whether the tag requires power during the hop. If so, the reader begins (or continues) to synthesize a second RF waveform with a second radio frequency while also synthesizing the first RF waveform, and frequency-hops by transitioning from transmitting the first RF waveform to transmitting the second RF waveform such that the power transmitted during the transition is sufficient for the tag to operate.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for asset tracking. In an aspect, an asset tracking coordination component estimates a time of a beacon transmission from a wireless energy charging-capable device coupled to an asset within a threshold proximity of a scanning device based on an estimated distance between the asset tracking coordination device and the scanning device and timing information associated with a wireless energy transmission, and schedules a beacon scanning window for the scanning device to scan for the beacon transmission based on the estimated time. In a further aspect, a scanning device may both provide a wireless energy transmission and may also scan for beacon transmission(s) from wireless energy charging-capable device(s) during a beacon scanning window.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus configured to obtain a decision-point value, and send, for a logical channel group (LCG) having a quantity of data pending an uplink transmission, a long buffer status report in response to the decision-point value exceeding a threshold value, or a short buffer status report in response to the decision-point value being equal to or less than the threshold value are disclosed. The decision-point value may be a buffer status report-type determinative value, which may be based on a peak power envelope of a wireless communication device, a data transmission rate historically obtained by the wireless communication device, a number of component carriers available for a complete upload of a buffer holding data, a cost function, an amount of data associated with the LCG that is pending the uplink transmission, a type of the wireless communication device, or a latency of communications of the wireless communication device.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication performed at a user equipment (UE), includes transmitting, to a network node, a first indication of a first UE radio capability, the first UE radio capability indicating support for a group of evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) new radio (NR) dual connectivity (EN-DC) band combinations. The method also includes receiving, from the network node, an indication of an active EN-DC band combination based on transmitting the first indication. The method further includes transmitting, to the network node, a second indication of a second UE radio capability based on an actual data throughput metric associated with the active EN-DC band combination satisfying a failure condition. The second UE radio capability may indicate support for one or more non-active EN-DC combinations. Each non-active EN-DC combination may be associated with a potential data throughput metric that is greater than a data throughput threshold value.

Abstract: A system may overlay real-time data and other data (e.g., measurement data, sensor data, etc.) over image data during a communication session. For example, the system may perform media processing on image data being sent between devices in order to overlay the real-time data and other information received from input devices (e.g., sensors, diagnostic devices, connected health devices, etc.) on top of image data during the communication session. For example, a patient may video conference with a doctor and real-time diagnostic information from a device attached to the patient (e.g., wearable device or other input device) may be overlaid on the video to display relevant information during the video conference.

Abstract: Described are techniques for establishing communications sessions between devices. A command from a sender device to initiate a communications session with a recipient device may include information indicative of a recipient user profile. Correspondence between recipient information and sender contact data may be used to determine the recipient user profile. Prior to providing a communication request to the recipient device, recipient contact data may be determined using the recipient user profile. Correspondence between the sender user profile and the recipient contact data may be used to determine sender information indicative of the sender. This information may be provided to the recipient device in advance of the communication request to enable more rapid acceptance of the communication request and eliminate the delay that would be incurred if the recipient device determined the sender information responsive to the communication request.

Abstract: Described are techniques for establishing video communication between devices while reducing delays associated with initialization of a camera system. When a command from a sender device to initiate a communications session with a recipient device is received, the command may include recipient information indicative of the recipient device. Correspondence between the recipient information and sender contact data may be used determine a recipient profile identifier. Prior to providing a communication request to the recipient device, an initialization command may be provided to the recipient device to cause the recipient device to begin initializing a camera system. Providing the initialization command to the recipient device responsive to the command from the sender device, in advance of the communication request, enables the communications session to be initiated more rapidly than if the recipient device began to initialize the camera system responsive to the communication request.
