Abstract: A cellular base station (BS) which transmits more flexible downlink control information (DCI) to the UE, and a UE capable of receiving and processing a received DCI message. The DCI message may have a DCI format of 0_1 or 0_2 and further may comprise an UL-SCH set to 0, a CSI request field of all 0s and an SRS request field having a nonzero value. The DCI message may indicate to the UE that the UE should: 1) transmit an aperiodic SRS corresponding to SRS request; and 2) that the UE should not transmit on the PUSCH. The DCI may include existing fields that specify either a slot offset or beam information useable when transmitting the aperiodic SRS. The base station may also generate a DCI message with an SRS trigger that is targeted to a plurality of UEs in a group, or a plurality of groups of UEs, for greater efficiency.

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.

Abstract: Examples can provide extended-range high-speed interconnect by providing microcoax cables in a hybrid flexible circuit board, which can be referred to as a hybrid flex or microcoax flex. This hybrid flex can be used to convey signals an extended distance within an electronic device. Multiple signals can be conveyed using corresponding microcoax cables. The microcoax cables can include a center conductor, an insulating layer, and an outside shield layer. The cables can be held in position in the hybrid flex relative to each other by a polyimide or other insulative layer. Copper layers can be provided on either or both the top and bottom of the polyimide or other insulative layer. Additional conductors can be embedded in the polyimide other insulative layer to convey power and ground. The microcoax and other conductors can be soldered to a flexible circuit board or other substrate using jet soldering.

Abstract: Connector receptacles and related structures that can be hidden and protected, and that have a low-profile or shallow depth. An example can provide an electronic device having a connector receptacle, where the connector receptacle can be hidden using a cover. The cover can hide the connector receptacle and protect it from debris. The connector receptacle can also have a shallow depth making it suitable for use in small devices. Various cover mechanisms can be used. These cover mechanisms can be bistable, that is they can have a stable open position and a stable closed position. There can be tactile feedback provided to a user as the user moves the cover from the open position to the closed position and from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: Electric fields that can cause corrosion of contacts can be compensated for by embodiments of the present invention. For example, voltage waveforms at the contacts can be made to have a zero volt average, and therefore have a zero net electric field. Galvanic voltages generated by dissimilar metals used by a contact and a housing can generate an electric field, and currents motivated by the galvanic electric field can be blocked by capacitively coupling the contacts to their corresponding circuits.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to sharpening segments of an image differently based on content in the image. Content based sharpening is performed by a content image processing circuit that receives luminance values of an image and a content map. The content map identifies categories of content in segments of the image. Based on one or more of the identified categories of content, the circuit determines a content factor associated with a pixel. The content factor may also be based on a texture and/or chroma values. A texture value indicates a likelihood of a category of content and is based on detected edges in the image. A chroma value indicates a likelihood of a category of content and is based on color information of the image. The circuit receives the content factor and applies it to a version of the luminance value of the pixel to generate a sharpened version of the luminance value.
