Abstract: A method for low overhead system information acquisition (LOSIA) is disclosed. The LOSIA method includes several techniques for transmitting common channels in a next generation Radio Access Technology (xRAT). Instead of transmitting system information in a periodic, static, cell-specific, wideband manner, the transmission is triggered by user equipment in an “on demand” manner. The LOSIA method allows the network to control the overhead, bandwidth, and periodicity, as well as other characteristics. The LOSIA method employs several different techniques to trigger the information upon which the network can act, for example, by transmitting different payloads depending on the received trigger.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing an anti-aliasing technique for a time-to-digital converter are described. A pulse generator generates a pulse with a width that is representative of a voltage level of a supply voltage. A buffer chain receives the pulse from the pulse generator. A first sum is calculated by adding together a number of one bits in a first portion of the buffer chain. Also, a second sum is calculated by adding together a number of one bits in a second portion of the buffer chain. Then, a third sum is calculated by adding the first sum to the second sum if the first sum is saturated. Otherwise, the third sum is equal to the first sum if the first sum is not saturated. The third sum is used as a representation of the voltage level of the supply voltage.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for adequately measuring reference signals while a user equipment (UE) uses beamforming for optimal receiving. Embodiments describe how a UE may measure received-beamformed reference signals as well as how to determine a reported value while multiple beams are measured or a receiver diversity is in use by the UE. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: An electronic watch may include a housing defining a side wall having a through-hole and a crown assembly including an actuation member. The actuation member may include a crown shaft extending through the through-hole and having an exterior portion defining an input surface and a crown ring coupled to the exterior portion of the crown shaft and electrically isolated from the crown shaft. The crown assembly may further include an optical encoder component attached to the actuation member and defining a group of optical features. The electronic watch may further include an optical detector configured to detect rotation of the crown assembly by detecting motion of the group of optical features and an electrocardiograph sensor comprising a sensing component. The sensing component may be conductively coupled to the actuation member via a conductive path at least partially defined by the crown shaft.

Abstract: A system and method for autonomously scanning a sensor panel device is disclosed. A sensor panel processor can be disabled after a first predetermined amount of time has elapsed without the sensor panel device sensing any events. One or more system clocks can also be disabled to conserve power. While the processor and one or more system clocks are disabled, the sensor panel device can periodically autonomously scan the sensor panel for touch activity. If one or more results from the autonomous scans exceed a threshold, the sensor panel device re-enables the processor and one or more clocks to actively scan the sensor panel. If the threshold is not exceeded, the sensor panel device continues to periodically autonomously scan the sensor panel without intervention from the processor. The sensor panel device can periodically perform calibration functions to account for any drift that may be present in the system.

For example, some aspects relate to a multi-link device (MLD) including a first station (STA) associated with a first link of a wireless network and configured to communicate with a second MLD over the first link. The MLD also includes a second STA associated with a second link of the wireless network. The second STA is in a hibernation mode. The MLD also includes one or more processors communicatively coupled to the first and second STAs and configured to control operations of the first and second STAs.

A provisioning system may facilitate the provisioning in a manner that ensures security and privacy of the requesting parties. The provisioning requests may be made using an application on the first user device such as a third-party application or using a web application via a browser. The credential may be added to a digital wallet on the second user device. The credential may be useable by the second user device to perform one or more contactless transactions.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can be configured for users (e.g., user devices) that are detected nearby the computing device. For example, the computing device may be a communal device configured for a single user but generally used by multiple users. The communal device can discover when a known (e.g., authorized, trusted, etc.) user device is near the communal device and obtain personalization data from the nearby user device. The communal device can configure the communal device based on the personalization data to personalize an activity hosted by the communal device for the user of the nearby user device. To protect the user's personalization data, the communal device can delete the user's personalization data when the activity hosted by the communal device is terminated.

Abstract: High-speed connectors that simplify connectivity between electronic devices, are simple to use, and are readily manufactured. One example can simplify connectivity by including contacts for power, data, and one or more RF signals into a single connector. One example provides a connector receptacle having a tongue supporting contacts for data and power. A ground contact can encircle the tongue and a shield can be around the tongue, contacts, and ground contact. An RF contact can be positioned between the ground contact and the shield, such that the ground contact and shield provide RF shielding for the RF contact.

In some implementations, the method includes determining that a first object of the one or more objects is moving based on the first optical flow and the second optical flow.
