  • Publication number: 20240143733
    Abstract: Applications can be automatically grouped in a secure workspace environment. An application organizer service can be deployed on a user computing device to intelligently group applications within secure workspaces based on resource requirements, peripheral usage, threat level and/or data sharing characteristics of the applications. The application organizer service may determine these characteristics in a variety of ways including through the monitoring of the applications as they execute inside the secure workspaces.

  • Patent number: 11963144
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration message configuring the UE to communicate coordinated transmissions with multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) using a first coordinated transmission mode of a set of different coordinated transmission modes. The UE may receive, based on the configuration message, downlink control information including at least one indicator and receive a first coordinated transmission communicated in accordance with the first coordinated transmission mode. The UE may transmit, in accordance with a feedback configuration corresponding to the at least one indicator and the first coordinated transmission mode, a feedback message for the first coordinated transmission to at least one of the multiple TRPs.

  • Patent number: 10930607
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed including an integrated memory module. The integrated memory module may include a pair of semiconductor die, which together, operate as a single, integrated flash memory. In one example, the first die may include the memory cell array and the second die may include the logic circuit such as CMOS integrated circuits. In one example, the second die may be flip-chip bonded to the first die. The flip-chip bond pads on the first and second dies may be made small, with a small pitch, to allow a large number of electrical interconnections between the first and second semiconductor dies.

  • Patent number: 10637533
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a controller die and a group of dies that communicate with each other via a transmission line. Less than all of the dies of the group includes a respective on-die termination resistance circuit coupled to the transmission line. In some embodiments, one of the dies that includes an on-die termination resistance circuit is an end die of the group. In particular embodiments, the end die is the only die of the group that includes an on-die termination resistance circuit coupled to the transmission line. Transmission frequencies or data rates may be increased without degrading signal quality by removing capacitance associated with on-die termination resistance circuits from at least one of the dies of the group.

  • Patent number: 10468073
    Abstract: An apparatus may include a controller die configured to communicate with a plurality of dies via a transmission line. The controller die may be configured to transmit a signal on the transmission line to a target die of the plurality of dies, or the target die may transmit a signal on the transmission line. The transmission may be dependent on an end die of the plurality of dies setting an end-die termination resistance to a low level. In situations where the target memory is receiving the signal, the target die may set target an on-die termination resistance to a high level. In situations where the target memory die is transmitting the signal, the target die may set an on-die termination resistance to a low level.
