Abstract: The representative embodiments discussed in the present disclosure relate to techniques in which a transmitter may operate in an uplink multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) mode of operation. More specifically, in some embodiments, the transmitter may concurrently transmit a first and a second signal within the same frequency band via a first and second antenna, respectively. Further, in some embodiments, the transmitter may include circuitry and/or logic to offset nonlinear interference present in the transmitted signals as a result of antenna coupling between the first and second antenna and a nonlinear element (e.g., a power amplifier) within the transmitter.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can provide a map application providing a representation of a physical structure of venues (e.g., shopping centers, airports) identified by the application. The application can provide an inside view of the venue, which is accessible by other applications and programs on the user's device. Thus, whether intended or not, search results that are identified by the map application as having an inside view of the venue are also presented on a graphical user interface along with typical search results from the other applications.

Abstract: An example method includes receiving queries from devices that include respective samples of content from a stream of content rendered by a source, receiving samples of content from a stream of content rendered by an alternative feed of the source, and for each sample of content from the alternative feed of the source, identifying respective matching queries that match to the same content as the sample of content from the alternative feed of the source. The method also includes for each respective matching query, determining a respective relative time difference between a time that the content appears in the sample of content from the alternative feed and a time that the content appears in the respective matching query, accumulating a distribution of the time differences over time, and determining a latency between the source and the alternative feed of the source.

Abstract: A method is performed at a computing system that includes a first housing with a primary display and a second housing at least partially containing a physical keyboard and a touch-sensitive secondary display. The method includes: displaying, on the primary display, a first user interface for an application executed by the computing system. The method also includes: displaying, on the touch-sensitive secondary display, a second user interface, the second user interface comprising a set of one or more affordances corresponding to the application. The method further includes: detecting a notification and, in response to detecting the notification, concurrently displaying, in the second user interface, the set of one or more affordances corresponding to the application and at least a portion of the detected notification on the touch-sensitive secondary display. In some embodiments, the detected notification is not displayed on the primary display.

Abstract: A relay device assists in enabling lawful intercept (LI) by reporting, to a LI entity associated with the cellular network, authenticated identities of remote UEs (such as remote UEs connected via proximity services) and identification information that may allow the LI entity to monitor traffic (and/or control statistics related to the traffic) associated with the remote UEs. The authentication of the remote UEs may be performed using a technique that does not require involvement of the cellular network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for reshaping HDR video content to improve compression efficiency while using standard encoding/decoding techniques. Input HDR video frames, e.g., represented in an IPT color space, may be reshaped before the encoding/decoding process and the corresponding reconstructed HDR video frames may then be reverse reshaped. The disclosed reshaping methods may be combinations of scene-based or segment-based methods.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and apparatuses for UE capability reporting in mobile communication systems. UE capability reporting in LTE with high number of CCs (32) creates a great signalling overhead. An enhanced network enquiry message (UECapabilityEnquiry) is proposed which includes indications (e.g. maximum aggregated CC number or bandwidth class, MIMO/CSI-process capabilities) that indicate to a UE that the UE is to exclude, from its capability report (UECapabilityInformation), information related to functions that the network either does not support or is not interested in. The enhanced network enquiry message may include indications of a max. number of DL/UL CCs for which the UE is requested to provide supported CA band combinations and non-CA bands. The UE selects a subset of CA capabilities based on these indicator and generates a UE capability response (UECapabilityInformation) including information related to the selected subset of CA capabilities.

Abstract: Electronic devices, storage medium containing instructions, and methods pertain to determining a target boosted threshold voltage level based at least in part on a target emission threshold voltage level. Using the determined target boosted threshold voltage level, a light emitting diode (LED)-controlling transistor is submitted to voltage stress to boost a threshold voltage of the transistor to the target boosted threshold voltage level during a first portion of a refresh period between first and second emission periods. During a second portion of the refresh period, the voltage stress is de-asserted to settle the threshold voltage to a target emission threshold voltage level for the second emission period. After the voltage is settled, the LED-controlling transistor is driven based at least in part on the target emission threshold voltage level.

Abstract: A watchband can comfortably secure an electronic device to a wrist of a user. The watchband can include a base having a contact surface opposite an engagement surface, contact loops on the contact surface for contacting a user, and engagement loops on the engagement surface for engaging hooks. The hooks can be provided on the engagement surface, opposite some of the contact loops. The base can include base threads, and the contact loops and engagement loops can be formed by contact threads and engagement threads woven about some of the base threads between the contact surface and the engagement surface. Between adjacent engagement loops, the engagement thread can be more securely attached to the base than is the contact thread between adjacent contact loops.

Abstract: A device displays a user interface. The user interface includes a folder icon that corresponds to an application folder containing a plurality of application icons. The plurality of application icons correspond to different applications in a plurality of applications. The plurality of applications include applications that have unread notifications. While displaying the user interface, the device detects an input that includes a contact at a location that corresponds to the folder icon. In response to detecting the input: when the input meets menu-presentation criteria, wherein the menu-presentation criteria require that a characteristic intensity of a contact in a detected input meet an intensity threshold in order for the menu-presentation criteria to be met, the device displays selectable options that, when activated, launch corresponding applications that have unread notifications.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a security manager of a first operating system executed by a processor of a data processing system receives a request received from an application to modify a security settings of the data processing system. In response to the request, the data processing system is restarted into a second operating system, where the second operating system includes functionalities that are fewer than the first operating system. The security settings of the data processing system is modified within the second operating system. After the security settings of the data processing system has been modified, the data processing is rebooted back to the first operating system. A security measure within the first operating system is enforced based on the modified security settings.
