Abstract: An electronic device may include isolation circuitry coupled between a transmitter, a receiver, and one or more antennas. The isolation circuitry may include a 90 degree hybrid coupler configured receive a transmission (TX) signal from the transmitter, split the TX signal into a first portion and a second portion, and phase-shift a portion such that the portions are +90 degrees out-of-phase.

Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for securely transferring a cellular wireless service subscription associated with an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) profile from a source wireless device to a target wireless device via communication with servers of a mobile network operator (MNO). An MNO provisioning server encrypts an activation code, used for transfer of the cellular wireless service subscription, with a session key generated based on a one-time-use eUICC public key and a one-time-use server private key. The encrypted activation code is protected from malicious third parties, as only the eUICC of the source wireless device can perform the decryption required by generating an identical session key to recover the activation code. The eUICC of the source wireless device deletes the eSIM profile from the eUICC before providing the activation code to the target wireless device to protect against eSIM profile cloning.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for identifying when a vetted software application transitions into providing unauthorized features. In particular, the techniques involve identifying original operating characteristics of a software application during a vetting process that is performed by a management entity (and/or other vetting entities). The vetting process produces a vetted software application, which includes information about the original operating characteristics of the software application. The vetted software application is then distributed and installed onto computing devices. In turn, computing devices that execute the vetted software application can gather its current operating characteristics and compare them to the original operating characteristics to identify any anomalies. Appropriate action can then be taken, such as notifying the management entity and/or terminating the execution of the vetted software application.

The configuration message can be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message. The measurement for the CA operation can be a measurement of the SCell on the SCC.

Abstract: Wearable head-mounted displays, such as virtual reality systems, present immersive experiences and environments to a wearer. However, the head-mounted displays, as well as the immersive environments that they produce, limit the wearer's ability to interact with outside observers. For example, a wearer may not be able to see outside observers, and outside observers may not have any insight to what the wearer is experiencing or where the wearer's attention is directed. Accordingly, a wearable electronic device may include an outward-facing display configured to display information to outside observers, such as images of the wearer's face or images that represent or indicate the state of the wearer and/or the head mounted display.

Abstract: Acoustic optical integrity detection system architectures and methods can be used to detect optical integrity of an optical component by detecting a discontinuity on and/or in the optical component (e.g., on the optical surface and/or within the bulk of the optical component). In some examples, integrity detection can be used to ensure safety compliance of an optical system, optionally including a laser. Acoustic integrity detection can utilize transducers (e.g., piezoelectric transducers) to transmit ultrasonic waves along an optical surface and/or through the thickness of an optical component. A discontinuity of the optical surface can interact with the transmitted wave causing attenuation, redirection and/or reflection of at least a portion of the transmitted wave. Portions of the transmitted wave energy after interaction with the discontinuity can be measured to determine discontinuity location, type, and/or severity.
