  • Publication number: 20250119780
    Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for performing measurements before a radio link failure. In an example, a condition is detected by a UE in advance of a time point in which a non-terrestrial network (NTN) node is to stop providing service to the UE. The condition can be a timing-based condition related to, for example, t-service, a location-based condition related to, for example, a reference location, a coverage hole, and/or a timer condition. The UE can perform, in advance of the time point, a radio resource management (RRM) measurement in an attempt to measure a neighbor cell based on the condition.

  • Publication number: 20250114661
    Abstract: A user fitness goal may be determined based at least in part on i) historical fitness data that was tracked by a fitness application during a plurality of periods that together correspond to a historical period, or ii) or a user input. Current fitness data may be tracked by the fitness application during a current period. A coaching notification may be determined based on the current fitness data and the user fitness goal. The coaching notification may correspond to progress toward achieving including a suggested action for achieving the user fitness goal prior to a conclusion of the current period. The coaching notification may be provided for presentation at a user device.

  • Publication number: 20250117965
    Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress and encode data for a three-dimensional dynamic mesh. The three-dimensional dynamic mesh is compressed and signaled using a base-mesh sub-bitstream and an atlas sub-bitstream (e.g., displacement and/or attribute sub-bitstream). The atlas sub-bitstream comprises displacement information to be applied at sub-division points of the base mesh to recreate the three-dimensional dynamic mesh at a given moment in time and may also include attribute values, such as colors, textures, etc. to be applied to the reconstructed mesh. Sub-mesh identifiers are included in tile headers of an atlas sub-bitstream that enable selective reconstruction of sub-meshes. A complimentary decoder decodes a compressed bitstream for the three-dimensional dynamic mesh, encoded such as by the encoder.

  • Patent number: 12273957
    Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for profile, e.g., subscriber identity module (SIM) and electronic SIM (eSIM), and cellular wireless service subscription management for a wireless device. The wireless device can support multiple profiles, such as dual SIMS or a single SIM and one or more eSIMs. A user of the wireless device can flexibly enable and disable various eSIMs or change the use of physical SIMs with different associated cellular wireless service subscriptions, and mapping of subscription modules to logical channels and physical hardware interfaces can occur automatically, with mechanisms to reset interfaces when required.

  • Patent number: 12273635
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine a control signal before synchronous readout of a frame (or part of the frame) is performed by a sensor. Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine event density (e.g., a dense row signal or a dense frame signal) before synchronous readout is performed by the sensor. In some implementations, the event camera is capable of operating in a first readout mode and a second readout mode based on a number of events. In the second readout mode, less data per pixel may be readout.

  • Patent number: 12268499
    Abstract: Robust estimation of a characteristic of a user's physiological signals can be achieved by filtering or classifying samples. Rather than estimating the characteristic of the user's physiological signals based on each sample at a first wavelength and a second wavelength, a robust system and method can, in some examples, estimate the characteristic using samples at the first wavelength and the second wavelength that meet one or more criteria and filter out samples that fail to meet the one or more criteria. In some examples, the system and method can weight samples based on the one or more criteria, and estimate the characteristic using the weighted samples. Samples failing to meet the one or more criteria can be given less weight or no weight in the estimation. The one or more criteria can include a criterion based on at least the physiological signal at a third wavelength.

  • Patent number: 12273977
    Abstract: A high current, low dropout driver circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a decoder configured to decode a plurality of control bits to generate a plurality of control signals, and a current source having a plurality of devices. The current source is configured to activate at least a subset of the plurality of devices using the control signals to provide a load current to a load circuit, such as a light-emitting diode (LED), using activated ones of the plurality of devices and a control voltage. A control circuit is configured to generate the control voltage based on the load current and a reference current.

  • Patent number: 12273940
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for EPS fallback when initiating a voice call while camped on a 5G cell. The UE may camp on a 5G network by performing an IMS registration procedure/IMS SIP invite procedure with an IMS. The UE may initiate a voice call and determine that the voice call cannot be established over the 5G NR network. In response, the UE may perform a TAU procedure or an attachment procedure with a cell of a 4G network. The IMS may be transferred to the 4G network during TAU/attachment procedure. The UE may, in response to determining that it is barred from the 4G network, transition back to the 5G network and transmit, to the 5G NR network, a SIP cancel request to allow a context associated with the UE to be cleared from the IMS.
