Abstract: Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a device for providing latency sensitive links. A wireless device can receive, from a wireless node, an advertisement message indicating a set of wireless local area network (WLAN) links that support one or more defined latency requirements, a capability of the wireless node to support the set of WLAN links, a plurality of parameters, an operating mode, and a status for the set of WLAN links. The wireless device can send, to the wireless node responsive to the advertisement message, a request to access a first link of the set of WLAN links. The request can indicate a capability of the wireless device to interoperate with the wireless node to use the first link. The wireless device can access the first link of the set of WLAN links if the wireless node accepts the request to access the first link.

Abstract: Among other things, a communication system comprising remote units, a reference timing source, a controller, a controller clock, and a remote unit clock. The remote units exchange radio frequency (RF) signals with mobile devices. The reference timing source is synchronized with a coordinated universal time (UTC) or a Global Positioning System (GPS). The controller clock is synchronized with the reference timing source and provides timing information to the controller. The remote unit clock is synchronized with the controller clock and provides timing information to a remote unit. The controller and the remote unit are configured to transmit time stamp messages to synchronize the controller clock and the remote unit clock, by avoiding contention between time stamp transmissions and baseband data transmissions or between time stamp transmissions of different remote units to the controller.

Abstract: A method for color-based calibration for eye-tracking includes presenting a calibration image to an eyebox area via a waveguide of a head mounted display (HMD). An estimated pupil center location of an eye is determined with an eye-tracking system. Next, user input is received in response to the calibration image. The user input includes an indication of a perceived color nonuniformity of the calibration image. The estimated pupil center location is then adjusted based on the user input.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a seatback rotationally coupled to a base at a seat pivot. A securing pin is coupled with the seatback. An inertial latch is operable about a latch pivot to define an idle position defined by the inertial latch biased distal from the securing pin, and a deployed position defined by an opposing directional force biasing the inertial latch into selective engagement with the securing pin wherein the seatback is maintained in a predetermined rotational position. A guide latch is biased against the inertial latch and having an idle notch and a deployed notch. The idle notch selectively maintains the inertial latch in the idle position. The deployed notch secures the inertial latch in the deployed position in response to the opposing directional biasing force.

Abstract: A lower source-level dielectric etch-stop layer, a source-level sacrificial layer, and an upper source-level dielectric etch-stop layer are formed over a substrate. An alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers is formed thereabove. Memory stack structures are formed through the alternating stack. Backside openings are formed through the alternating stack and into the in-process source-level material layers such that tapered surfaces are formed through the upper source-level dielectric etch-stop layer. A source cavity is formed by removing the source-level sacrificial layer, and a continuous source contact layer is formed in the source cavity and in peripheral portions of the backside openings. Portions of the continuous source contact layer overlying the tapered surfaces are removed by performing an isotropic etch process. Remaining portions of the continuous source contact layer comprise a source contact layer.

Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for contextual discovery and design of application workflow. An event message associated with a user interface control and with an instance of an event is displayed in a communication channel of a group-based communications system. In response to detecting an actuation, by a user, of the user interface control associated with the event message, a workflow creation interface is displayed to configure a new workflow triggered by an instance of an event associated with the event message. Inputs are received from the user, such that the inputs are associated with one or more user-created workflow operations. In response to detecting a triggering event corresponding to the new workflow, the new workflow is executed to carry out the user-created workflow operations.
