Abstract: An image sensor may include an image sensor pixel array. The image sensor pixel array may include active image sensor pixels and non-active image sensor pixels. A line of image sensor pixels may be coupled to readout circuitry. The readout circuitry may use reset level signals from some of the image sensor pixels to obtain a digital average reset level value and may use the digital average reset level value to perform digital-domain correlated double sampling operations for digital image level values from active image sensor pixels in the line of image sensor pixels.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for a hardware-based save-and-restore controller in an SoC. The described systems and techniques can automatically save and restore access control configurations (e.g., register states) of IP subsystems during a power-down and a power-up sequence, respectively. The save operation is initiated by a local save-and-restore (L SAR) controller and performed by the IP subsystems writing the configuration values to a central save-and-restore (C-SAR) controller before powering down a power domain. The C-SAR controller saves the configuration information in a memory located in an always-on power domain. The described systems and techniques initiate, via the L SAR controller, a restore operation as part of the power-up sequence. In this way, the described systems and techniques provide scalable save-and-restore services, support a large number of power domains, and allow a variable number of access control configurations to be saved and restored.

Abstract: An airfoil includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side wall, and a suction side wall. The pressure side wall and the suction side wall each extend between the leading edge and the trailing edge. A camber axis is defined halfway between the pressure side wall and the suction side wall. A cooling circuit is defined in the airfoil. The cooling circuit includes a trailing edge cooling circuit. The trailing edge cooling circuit has a pressure side channel that is disposed at least partially on a first side of the camber axis and a suction side channel that is disposed at least partially on a second side of the camber axis. The pressure side channel and the suction side channel each converge towards the trailing edge as the pressure side channel and the suction side channel extend towards the trailing edge.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems to dampen oscillations of a payload coupled to a tether of a winch system arranged on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). For example, the UAV's control system may dampen the oscillations by causing the UAV to switch to a forward flight mode in which movement of the UAV results in drag on the payload, thereby damping the oscillations. In another example, the control system may cause the UAV to reduce an extent flight stabilization along at least one dimension, thereby resulting in damping of the detected oscillations due to energy dissipation during movement of the UAV along the dimension. In this way, the control system could select and carry out one or more such techniques, and could do so during retraction and/or deployment of the tether.

Abstract: Sensor-based privacy-event detection for a mounted electronic device is described. In aspects, a security system includes a head assembly removably and magnetically coupled to a mounting device having a magnet. The electronic device also includes a camera module and a sensor disposed within the housing. The sensor detects a magnetic field associated with the magnet when the head assembly is coupled to the mounting device. When a user detaches the head assembly from the mounting device (e.g., to recharge the electronic device), the sensor no longer detects the magnetic field and determines the occurrence of a privacy event, which is used to deactivate the camera module to prevent unintentional recordings during the privacy event.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, machine-readable mediums, and devices for providing an aggregated view of reactions to content across multiple sharing locations of a network-based content sharing service and in some examples across multiple sharing locations of multiple network-based content sharing services. The system may track or determine reactions across different sharing locations of a single content sharing service (such as a unified communication service) or across multiple services. In some examples, only reactions to the content that are from sharing locations accessible by a particular user are aggregated and displayed to the particular user. In other examples, reactions may be viewable from all sources regardless of access by a user.
