Abstract: A light ranging and detection (LiDAR) device may combine the transmission of laser pulses. Different trains of pulses from different transmitters may be combined and transmitted to an environment via a common optical path. The laser pulses transmitted from one train of pulses may be in a polarization state that is orthogonal to a polarization state for the laser pulses of the other train of pulses. Reflections for the different trains of pulses may be received via the common optical path and separated according to polarization state. Reflections of the train of pulses may be directed to one receiver and reflections of the other train of pulses may be directed to a different receiver. The transmission delta between the different trains of pulses may be dynamically configured. The pulse repetition rate of each train of pulses may also be configured.

Abstract: A computer system captures, via one or more cameras, information indicative of the physical environment, including respective portions of the physical environment that are in a field of view. The respective portions of the physical environment include a plurality of primary features of the physical environment and secondary features of the physical environment. After capturing the information indicative of the physical environment, the system displays a user interface, including concurrently displaying graphical representations of the plurality of primary features that are generated with a first level of fidelity to the corresponding plurality of primary features of the physical environment, and one or more graphical representations of secondary features that are generated with a second level of fidelity to the corresponding one or more secondary features of the physical environment, where the second level of fidelity is lower than the first level of fidelity.

Abstract: A wireless power transfer system comprising a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter arranged to generate a varying electric field, and the receiver located in the varying electric field. The receiver comprising a first element and a second element. The first element and the second element having different geometries so different charge densities are induced on the first element and the second element by the varying electric field such that, in use, a current flows between the first element and second element, through a load connected between the first element and second element.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using ranging signals with cellular devices. The ranging signals may utilize ranging slots and resources at least partially allocated by a cellular network. The resources may include frequencies used for uplink or downlink communications between the cellular network and the cellular devices. Alternatively, the resources may include frequencies outside of a spectrum used for communication between the cellular network and the cellular devices.

Abstract: Secure secrets can be used, in one embodiment, to generate a master key. In one embodiment, a first secret value, generated and stored in a first secure element, can be used with a user's credential (e.g., a user's passcode) to generate, through a first key derivation function, a second secret value. A master key can then be generated through a second key derivation function based on the second secret value and a derived or stored secret such as a device's unique identifier.

Abstract: A base station and mobile device (UE) may coordinate transmission of reference signals and reception of corresponding channel state information (CSI) reports. If a periodic reference signal is scheduled for transmission outside the on-duration period of the UE, even if the reference signal corresponds to a periodic CSI report scheduled to be transmitted by the UE during the on-duration period, the base station may not transmit the periodic reference signal, thereby allowing the UE not to prematurely exit a low-power state. The base station may instead transmit an aperiodic reference signal at a specified point in time later than the scheduled transmission of the periodic reference signal. The UE may receive the aperiodic reference signal and either transmit the periodic CSI report or an aperiodic CSI report in response, depending on how close to the start of the on-duration period the transmission of the periodic CSI report is scheduled.

Abstract: A system includes an electronic display panel that has a plurality of pixels configured to depict frames of image data. The electronic display also includes display driver circuitry configured to, for a first frame of image data representing first image content, modify a gate-to-source voltage of a transistor of a first pixel of the plurality of pixels to a content-dependent first gate-to-source voltage. Additionally, after modifying the gate-to-source voltage to the first gate-to-source voltage, the display driver circuitry is configured to program the first pixel by modifying the gate-to-source voltage to a gate-to-source programming voltage that differs from the first gate-to-source voltage and is based on image data associated with the pixel from the first frame of the image data. Furthermore, the display driver circuitry is configured to cause the plurality of pixels to emit light.

Abstract: This application relates to performing organizational tasks using a variety of physical operations in a message application. The physical operations can include swiping actions performed by the user of the message application. By performing certain types of swipes on a user interface of the message application, the user can more readily organize messages stored by the message application. The types of swipes can include full swipes, which can execute one or more functions on a message, and partial swipes, which can open up a menu that includes multiple buttons for executing various operations on the message being swiped. Additionally, the direction of the swipe can also determine the functions and operations to be performed on the message being swiped.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide for performing, by a device, a request for obtaining information related to a phone authentication certificate (PAC) that was generated for the device, the PAC authenticating that a particular phone number is associated with the device, the request including packets of data. The subject technology receives the information related to the PAC, the information including an indication that the PAC was generated for the device. The subject technology sends, from the device, a request for validating the PAC to a remote server based at least in part on the information related to the PAC. Further, the subject technology receives a confirmation of validating the PAC from the remote server based at least in part on the information related to the PAC.

Abstract: Systems, methods and mechanisms for efficiently calibrating memory signals. In various embodiments, a computing system includes at least one processor, a memory and a power manager. The power manager generates and sends updated power-performance states (p-states) to the processor and the memory. Logic within a memory controller for the memory initializes a first timer corresponding to a first p-state of the multiple p-states to indicate a duration for skipping memory calibration. The logic continues to update the first timer while transferring data with the memory using operating parameters of the first p-state. When the memory is not using operating parameters of the first p-state, the logic prevents updates of the first timer. When the power manager determines to transition the memory from the first p-state to a second p-state, and the second timer for the second e-state has not expired, the logic prevents calibration of the memory.
