An output signal of the TIA is digitized and signal processed to detect the flicker in the ambient light. Also disclosed are image sensors having pixel arrays with an embedded modulated light source. The modulated light source may be used for proximity detection, either by time-of-flight or intensity variation of reflected light.

Abstract: Systems and methods of protecting an initial NAS message are described. Depending on whether a security context for a serving PLMN is stored, the UE uses either a public key from the serving PLMN or a key from the security context to encrypt parts of the initial NAS message. An initial NAS message containing the encrypted parts is then sent to an AMF of the serving PLMN. The serving PLMN public key is transmitted via a SIB. Prior to transmission of the initial NAS message or in parallel with it, an RRC message is sent to the base station. The RRC message contains the UE identifier and/or a NSSAI encrypted using the serving PLMN public key.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods to indicate power transmission capability for a wireless device. A wireless device may connect to a base station (BS). The wireless device may transmit information regarding transmit power capability to the BS. The wireless device may indicate support for full power transmit capability for a subset of TPMIs for which it provides full power transmit capability, e.g., in a bitmap. This subset of TPMIs may be less than all of the available TPMIs (i.e., it may be a strict subset of the available TPMIs). Full power transmission capability of these indicated TPMIs may be provided via antenna switching and/or antenna virtualization. The wireless device may perform uplink transmission to the BS according to the transmit power capability indicated in the information. For example, the UE may transmit data using the antenna virtualization related to the subset of the TPMIs.

The mapping table is modified based on the RATs supported by the V2X UE. Carrier aggregation is used when simultaneous transmission on different RATs is desired.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to forming single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) groups during ray intersection traversal. In particular, ray intersection circuitry may include dedicated circuitry configured to traverse an acceleration data structure, but may dynamically form a SIMD group to transform ray coordinates when traversing from one level of the data structure to another. This may allow shader processors to execute the SIMD group to perform the transformation. Disclosed techniques may facilitate instancing of graphics models within the acceleration data structure.

Abstract: Some implementations involve a process that identifies a subset of points in an image and creates descriptors for these points. The detection and descriptor process may use one or more neural networks. In some implementations, the process includes a neural network that uses one or more fixed (e.g., weight independent) neural network layers to perform certain functions that can be performed more accurately and/or efficiently than via non-fixed (e.g., weight-based) layers. In some implementations, for example, a neural network includes a layer that determines orientation formulaically within the neural network. Such orientations may be determined convolutionally (e.g., using sliding patches) but are not determined based on internal node weights within the layer that were determined during the training of the neural network.

Responsive to the command, the memory controller is configured to perform one or more calibrations on a subset of the plurality of channels for which corresponding identifiers of the plurality of identifiers match the first identifier. Other ones of the plurality of channels, for which the corresponding identifiers do not match the first identifier, do not perform the calibration.

Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

The power receiving device may send control error packets to the power transmitting device to direct the power transmitting device to adjust the transmit power level.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing collaboration on a virtual work of art between multiple electronic devices are provided. A first graphical display system of a first device may generate an input command in response to receiving user information through a user interface of the first device, and may then share this input command with a second graphical display system of a second device. The first graphical display system may process the shared input command to generate pixel array data in a canvas of the first device while the second graphical display system may process the shared input command to generate pixel array data in a canvas of the second device. By sharing input commands rather than pixel array data, system latency may be reduced. Despite operating on the same artwork, the user interfaces and graphical processing capabilities of each device may vary, thereby providing the user greater expressiveness.
