Abstract: Techniques are disclosed which can allow a mobile device, which is no longer being updated by the device manufacturer, to receive updates from the manufacturer. In an implementation, an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) is received from the mobile device that identifies a model of the mobile device. The mobile device can have at least one application that is unable to communicate with a server of the mobile device's manufacturer. A provisioning server may determine that the mobile device is depreciated based upon the IMEI, and obtain a key unique to the mobile device. The key and at least one Access Point Name may be transmitted to the mobile device, which can allow the mobile device to direct its data traffic to the server of the manufacturer.

Abstract: A multi-amplifier envelope tracking (ET) circuit and related apparatus are provided. The multi-amplifier ET circuit includes a number of amplifier circuits configured to amplify concurrently a radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a number of amplified RF signals for concurrent transmission, for example, in a millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum. The amplifier circuits are configured to amplify the RF signal based on a number of ET voltages and a number of low-frequency currents, respectively. A number of driver circuits is provided in the multi-amplifier ET circuit to generate the ET voltages and the low-frequency currents for the amplifier circuits, respectively. In examples discussed herein, the driver circuits are co-located with the amplifier circuits to help improve efficiency and maintain linearity in the amplifier circuits, particularly when the RF signal is modulated at a higher modulation bandwidth (e.g., >80 MHz).

Abstract: An oscillator circuit includes a first oscillator, a second oscillator, and a calibration circuit to calibrate the first and second oscillators. The first oscillator is supplied with a first supply voltage, and the second oscillator is supplied with a second supply voltage. The calibration includes setting a frequency control of the second oscillator at a target frequency. Then, a voltage control of the second supply voltage is adjusted incrementally until a first control value is identified at which a second oscillator output frequency matches the target frequency. Then, a voltage control of the first supply voltage is set to the first control value. Then, the voltage control for the first supply voltage is adjusted incrementally until a second control value is identified at which a first oscillator output frequency is as close to the second oscillator output frequency as is achievable, but does not exceed it.

Abstract: Automated air traffic control systems and methods may include one or more sensors, such as radar sensors, that are positioned and oriented at opposite ends of a runway. The sensors may detect aerial vehicles on the runway, as well as aerial vehicles within approach corridors at opposite ends of the runway, and other aerial vehicles proximate the runway.

Abstract: Techniques for consistent resource visibility during inter-cellular migrations using targeted pairwise scatter-gather techniques are described. For a paginated request to describe resources existing in cells of a provider network that match one or more criteria, a set of candidate cells having, or likely to have, resources of interest that match the one or more criteria are identified. Pairs of the candidate cells that are determined to be involved in a migration are jointly queried according to a scatter-gather type approach and aggregated via a union technique to remove duplicate resource entries. Other cells not involved in a resource migration are independently queried.
