The wireless power transmitting device may include a coil and wireless power transmitting circuitry coupled to the coil. The wireless power transmitting circuitry may include impulse response measurement circuitry that measures the inductance of the power transmitting coil and the quality factor of the power transmitting coil. The measured inductance and quality factor may subsequently be used to determine a position of the wireless power receiving device relative to the wireless power transmitting device. The determined position of the wireless power receiving device relative to the wireless power transmitting device may be used to estimate an expected power loss associated with the power transmitting coil. The power transfer operations may be adjusted based on expected and actual power losses.

Abstract: A mixed reality system including a head-mounted display (HMD) and a base station. Information collected by HMD sensors may be transmitted to the base via a wired or wireless connection. On the base, a rendering engine renders frames including virtual content based in part on the sensor information, and an encoder compresses the frames according to an encoding protocol before sending the frames to the HMD over the connection. Instead of using a previous frame to estimate motion vectors in the encoder, motion vectors from the HMD and the rendering engine are input to the encoder and used in compressing the frame. The motion vectors may be embedded in the data stream along with the encoded frame data and transmitted to the HMD over the connection. If a frame is not received at the HMD, the HMD may synthesize a frame from a previous frame using the motion vectors.

Abstract: In one example, a recorded voicemail is first converted from speech to text, and a proposed action to be performed by the user is extracted from the voice message. For example, in the voicemail “this is John, call me at 650.987.0987 at 9 am tomorrow,” the action is to call John. At least one action parameter for undertaking the action is determined. For example, the action parameters may include the 650.987.0987 telephone number and the 9 am time the following morning, The at least one action parameter may be extracted from the voicemail message or it may be determined by other means, e.g., from a user's contact book. Finally, the user is presented with a prompt to facilitate undertaking the action using the at least one the parameter. For example, the user may be given the option to set a reminder to call John the following morning at 9 am.

Abstract: Techniques for scheduling memory operations are disclosed in which alternate read/write commands within a multi-bank memory operation are delayed beyond a minimum timing parameter in order to increase memory data bus utilization. The remaining read/write commands are not delayed beyond the minimum timing parameter. Every other clock cycle (e.g., even clock cycles) within the memory operation is reserved for activate commands, while other commands such as sync and read/write are scheduled on the intervening clock cycles (e.g., odd clock cycles). For memory devices for which a sync command (which causes a clock of the memory data bus to start) is to precede a corresponding read/write command by a number of clock cycles that would place it in a cycle reserved for activate commands, a particular operation mode is disclosed in which the memory device internally delays a received sync command.

Abstract: A system comprises a prediction module configured to predict an attribute value, such as a texture coordinate, for a vertex of a triangle in a two-dimensional (2D) attribute representation based on known positions of vertices of a corresponding triangle in a three-dimensional (3D) geometric representation. In some embodiments, the prediction module adaptively selects a prediction technique between multiple available prediction techniques based on availability of vertices information in the 3D geometric representation and in the 2D attribute representation and further based on compression efficiency and distortion minimization. The prediction module enables compression of attribute information being signaled for volumetric visual content, such as a mesh with texture.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for signaling a quasi-colocation (QCL) update in a wireless communication system. A network or base station may indicate to a UE to change a spatial relationship for transmission/reception. The base station may provide aperiodic reference signals for the UE to use in beam tracking according to the new spatial relationship. Optionally, the base station may also provide aperiodic reference signals for time, frequency, and/or phase tracking. Thus, the network may configure the UE to change to the new spatial relationship and use the aperiodic reference signals to quickly complete initial tracking operations.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide color visual markers that include colored markings that encode data, where the colors of the colored markings are determined by scanning (e.g., detecting the visual marker using a sensor of an electronic device) the visual marker itself. In some implementations, a visual marker is detected in an image of a physical environment. In some implementations, the visual marker is detected in the image by detecting a predefined shape of a first portion of the visual marker in the image. Then, a color-interpretation scheme is determined for interpreting colored markings of the visual marker that encode data by identifying a set of colors at a corresponding set of predetermined locations on the visual marker. Then, the data of the visual marker is decoded using the colored markings and the set of colors of the color-interpretation scheme.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to debugging of an accelerator circuit using a packet limit breakpoint. A vector circuit reads a subset of instruction packets from an instruction memory and receives a portion of input data from a data memory corresponding to the subset of instruction packets. The vector circuit executes a set of vector operations in accordance with multiple instruction packets from the subset using data from the received portion of input data identified in the multiple instruction packets to generate output data. A program counter control circuit coupled to the instruction memory triggers a breakpoint in a program stored in the instruction memory causing the accelerator circuit to stop executing remaining instruction packets in the program following the multiple instruction packets responsive to a number of instruction packets executed in the program from a time instant of an event reaching a predetermined number.

Abstract: A compute-memory circuit included in a computer system includes multiple data storage cells and multiplier circuits. The data storage cells store weight values associated with a first operand. The multiplier circuits are coupled to a global bit line and receive the weight values via local bit lines coupled to the data storage cells. Using the received weight values and activation signals indicative of a second operand, the multiplier circuits modify a voltage level of the global bit line. The resultant voltage level on the global bit line is indicative of a product of the first and second operands, and can be converted to a digital value using an analog-to-digital converter circuit.
