Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes: obtaining a first image; determining characterization properties for each of a plurality of pixels within the first image; determining a dominant hue based on the one or more characterization properties for each of the plurality of pixels within the first image; determining a plurality of hues that satisfy a predetermined perception threshold relative to the dominant hue based on the characterization properties for each of the plurality of pixels within the first image, wherein the plurality of hues is different from the dominant hue; and generating a second image based at least in part on the dominant hue and the plurality of hues. In some implementations, the second image corresponds to a color gradient generated based on the dominant hue within the first image. In some implementations, the second image is set as a wallpaper for a user interface.

Abstract: Approaches are described for receiving downlink signals simultaneously where analog beamforming is being used to increase the link budget between the base station and user equipment (UE). Alternatives within these approaches include the UE determining the synchronization signal block (SSB) to receive when there are multiple SSBs from different cells in a slot, and determining whether there are other signals in the same symbols with the selected SSB based on the type of signal and the SSB's functionality. In the case where there are another downlink signals channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from another cell, the UE selects the corresponding quasi co-location (QCL) assumption to receive the signals. Optionally, the UE can report whether it can support one or two QCL-TypeD at a time and whether it supports SSBs in different cells multiplexed in overlapped symbols.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for initial access and random access channel operations for reduced capability devices in wireless networks.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The UE obtains a first control information from a network device. The first control information indicates at least one physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring period for the UE. The UE further monitors PDCCH based on the at least one PDCCH monitoring period.

Abstract: In some implementations a system can be configured to reduce the burden of pairing user devices with playback devices. For example, all users (or user devices) who commonly operate within a particular environment (e.g., a home) can be configured as authorized users of playback devices within the particular environment. When one of the authorized users pairs a user device with a playback device, all of the user devices for all authorized users can be automatically paired with the playback device as a result of the single pairing. Thus, only a single authorized user is burdened with the pairing process in order to pair all authorized users with the playback device.

Abstract: A folded lens system that includes lenses with refractive power and two light folding elements such as prisms. A first lens on a first axis refracts light to a first folding element. The first folding element redirects the light from the first axis onto a second axis on which one or more lenses are arranged. The lenses on the second axis refract the light to a second folding element. The second folding element redirects the light onto a third axis on which a sensor is disposed. The lens system may include a front aperture. The sensor may be moved on the third axis to provide autofocusing, or alternatively the lens system may include one or more optical actuators that provide autofocusing. The lens system may have a low F-number (<=2.8), and may have a 35 mm equivalent focal length in the medium to long telephoto range.

Specifically, multi-TRP transmission for PDCCH can be performed at different levels as follows: 1. PDCCH with multi-TRP transmission on repetition level; 2. PDCCH with multi-TRP transmission on CCE level; and/or 3. PDCCH with multi-TRP transmission on REGB level.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein include techniques for determining autofocus for a camera on a mobile device. In various instances, a depth imaging system (e.g., a time-of-flight autofocus system (ToF-AF system)) is used to determine distance of a subject in order to determine autofocus for a camera. In some instances, however, the ToF-AF system may be unable to detect a subject that is very close to the camera when the objects are below a minimum detectable distance of the ToF-AF system. In such instances, an existing IR detector outside of the ToF-AF system may be implemented to measure reflected signals from the ToF-AF system. A power ratio may be determined from the reflected signals and used to determine information about the distance of the subject from the camera.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to controlling performance state of a memory element based on latency information for a processor. In some embodiments, a level of a memory hierarchy is configured to operate at multiple different performance states at different times. Processor circuitry may execute programs that generate requests to access the memory hierarchy. Bandwidth-based control circuitry may generate, based on bandwidth conditions for the processor circuitry, bandwidth performance state signals. Latency-based control circuitry may generate, based on latency information for processor requests to access the memory hierarchy, latency performance state signals. Performance control circuitry may control the performance state of the level of the memory hierarchy based on the bandwidth performance state signals and the latency performance state signals. Disclosed techniques may improve processor performance in certain operating scenarios.

Abstract: An assembly with multiple structures, each having different tensile strengths, is integrated into a band used with various electronic devices. The assembly may include a low-tensile structure designed to elongate under an initial tension, thus allowing the band to stretch and lengthen. However, additional tension applied to the band is transferred to other structures of the assembly. Further, when the applied tension causes the structure with the highest tensile strength in the assembly to straighten (or substantially straighten), the high-tensile strength structure prevents the band from further elongation. The low-tensile strength structure allows the band to conform to a user, while the high-tensile strength structure protects the low-tensile strength structure from damage or unwanted deformation.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving a first natural-language speech input indicative of a request for media, where the first natural-language speech input comprises a first search parameter; providing, by a digital assistant, a first media item identified based on the first search parameter. The method further includes, while providing the first media item, receiving a second natural-language speech input and determining whether the second input corresponds to a user intent of refining the request for media. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the second speech input corresponds to a user intent of refining the request for media: identifying, based on the first parameter and the second speech input, a second media item and providing the second media item.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may use head pose changes for user input. In particular, a display in the head-mounted device may display a slider with an indicator. The slider may be a visual representation of a scalar quantity of a device setting such as volume or brightness. Based on head pose changes, the scalar quantity of the device setting and the position of the indicator on the slider may be updated. The direction of a head movement may correspond to the direction of movement of the indicator in the slider. The scalar quantity of a device setting may only be updated when gaze input from a user targets the slider. The slider may be displayed in response to gaze input targeting an icon associated with the slider.

Abstract: Image processing circuitry may include burn-in compensation circuitry that receives image data indicative of luminance outputs for display pixels of an electronic display and compensates the image data for burn-in related aging associated with the display pixels, generating compensated image data. Moreover, compensating the image data may include applying gains based on estimated amounts of aging associated with the display pixels and estimated amounts of current to be delivered to the display pixels. The image processing circuitry may also include burn-in statistics circuitry that tracks the estimated amounts of aging based on the compensated image data.

Abstract: A wearable device can establish a verified session with a host device (e.g., by establishing that the wearable device is present in the vicinity of the host device and is currently being worn). The existence of such a verified session can be used to control user access to sensitive information that may be stored in or otherwise accessible to a host device. For example, the host device and/or application programs executing thereon can be configured to restrict a user's ability to invoke program functionality that accesses sensitive information based on whether a verified session with a wearable device is currently in progress.

Abstract: Fabric may include one or more conductive strands. An insertion tool may insert an electrical component into the fabric during formation of the fabric. The electrical component may include an electrical device mounted to a substrate and encapsulated by a protective structure. An interconnect structure such as a metal via or printed circuit layers may pass through an opening in the protective structure and may be used to couple a conductive strand to a contact pad on the substrate. The protective structure may be transparent or may include an opening so that light can be detected by or emitted from an optical device on the substrate. The protective structure may be formed using a molding tool that provides the protective structure with grooves or may be molded around a hollow conductive structure to create grooves. An electrical component mounted to the fabric may be embedded within printed circuit layers.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with a controller and a display. The method includes identifying, within a first memory, a first object that satisfies a locked criterion. For example, the first object corresponds to a head-locked object or a body-locked object. The first object is associated with a first plurality of pixel values. The method includes blitting, via the controller, the first plurality of pixel values from the first memory to a second memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, the first object by obtaining the first plurality of pixel values from the second memory. In some implementations, the method includes rendering, via a graphics processing unit (GPU), a second object that does not satisfy the locked criterion, such as a world-locked object. As compared with GPU rendering, blitting is less computationally expensive.

A propulsion system is configured to cause motion current location toward the pickup location according to the trajectory.
