Abstract: Support systems and stands for electronic devices include tilt hinges, lift arms, and their component parts. Some tilt hinges include assemblies for guiding and retaining bars or protrusions into preferred positioning within receiver openings to unify the parts, particularly as they move, and to reduce wobble or slop in the joints. Lift arms provide simplified and low-cost guidance and counterbalance mechanisms for controlling movement of the electronic device relative to the base of a stand. In some cases, the lift arms have sheaths to help protect or cover mechanisms while allowing additional space for the mechanisms within the lift arm. Other interconnection systems hide and protect a connector interface between the stand and the electronic device within a housing until unlocked and the connector is moved into an exposed position. These systems improve efficiency, comfort, ergonomics, accessibility, and user satisfaction of the electronic devices and their supports.

Abstract: Mitigation techniques can be used to reduce noise generated by wireless communication circuitry (e.g., near-field communication circuitry) in an electronic device including a display, touch, and wireless communication circuitry. In some examples, a touch screen can have a backplane including a mesh of routing traces connected to an array of chiplets. In some examples, the chiplets can repeat signals to prevent the accumulation of noise induced by an NFC coil. In some examples, the ratio between vertical and horizontal resistances of routing traces can be configured to mitigate noise induced by the coil. In some examples, the routing traces of the mesh can be configured to share a common geometric centroid. In some examples, a plurality of routing traces can be routed in a twisted pair configuration. In some examples, the routing traces and chiplets can be routed to minimize traversal through regions of relatively high electromagnetic field.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for error detection and recovery when streaming data are described. A system includes one or more companion direct memory access (DMA) subsystems for transferring data. When an error is detected for a component of the companion DMA subsystem(s), the operations performed by the other components need to gracefully adapt to this error so that operations face only a minimal disruption. For example, while one or more consumers are still consuming a first frame, a companion router receives an indication of an error for a second frame, causing the companion router to send a router frame abort message to a route manager. In response, the route manager waits until the consumer(s) are consuming the second frame before sending them a frame abort message. The consumer(s) flush their pipeline and transition to an idle state waiting for a third frame after receiving the frame abort message.

Abstract: A network may authenticate a user equipment (UE) to access an edge data network. The network generates a first credential based on a second credential, the second credential generated for a procedure between the UE and a cellular network corresponding to the network component, receives an identifier associated with the first credential from a further network component in response to the UE transmitting an application registration request to a server associated with an edge data network and retrieves the first credential based on the identifier. The network also receives a multi-access edge computing (MEC) authorization parameter, verifies the MEC authorization parameter and transmits an authentication verification response to a second network component.

Abstract: Thermal conditions can be simulated for an electronic device. Application developers may want to test how applications perform under various thermal conditions on a device that includes thermal management. The application developers can use the tests to determine whether the application should take proactive measures to maintain application performance, and which proactive measures should be taken. For example, an application can reduce its use of resources to ensure that an application maintains a desired quality of user experience (and at a minimum remains responsive) under adverse thermal conditions. Creating adverse conditions can be difficult to replicate, costly to implement, and can potential cause damage to the electronic device being tested. In some examples, simulating thermal conditions can be used instead of placing the device in real-world adverse conditions to improve the testing process for developers.

Abstract: A wireless power system has a wireless power transmitting device and a wireless power receiving device. The devices in the wireless power system may communicate using in-band communication. The wireless power transmitting device may transmit data to the wireless power receiving device using frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation. The wireless power receiving device may transmit data to the wireless power transmitting device using amplitude-shift keying (ASK) modulation. While transmitting data to the wireless power receiving device using FSK modulation, the wireless power transmitting device may monitor for ASK modulation from the wireless power receiving device. In response to detecting the ASK modulation from the wireless power receiving device, the wireless power transmitting device may abort the FSK data transmission and process the detected ASK modulation to receive data from the wireless power receiving device.

Abstract: Techniques are presented for inserting markers into a video stream. For each frame of an encoded video stream, disclosed techniques may determine a structure of macroblocks from a code of the frame, and then, select macroblocks to be replaced from the determined structure of macroblocks. Inserting a marker into a frame may be carried out by replacing codes of the selected macro blocks with a code of a marker that identifies the frame. Marking frames of the video stream may facilitate finding correspondence between frames from the video stream before transmission over a channel and the video stream received from the channel, based on the inserted markers. Knowledge of frame correspondence may enable a video quality metric estimation based on a comparison between the found corresponding frames.
