Abstract: This application relates to batteries with an asymmetric design. At least some batteries described herein include two sections having different shapes and/or sizes, thus having different volumes. Having a battery formed with a relatively larger sections allows for several advantages. For example, the larger section can accommodate bending of a tab used to connect several electrodes together. Additionally, with the larger section providing space for the bent tab, the electrodes can be extended in, for example, the relatively smaller section. As a result, the battery can provide additional energy storage.

Abstract: This application provides a communication system, method, and apparatus, to resolve a prior-art problem that a terminal device does not know how to initiate a correct procedure to establish a communication connection to an application function AF to obtain a business service. A principle of the method is as follows: An AF sends a service mode supported by the AF to UE by using a core network. Therefore, before initiating a service to the AF, the UE can sense the service mode supported by the AF, and the UE initiates a correct connection establishment procedure to the AF based on the service mode supported by the AF.

In the method, when a terminal moves to a target base station, the target base station may reselect, based on a capability and a requirement of the target base station, a first encryption algorithm and a first integrity protection algorithm that are used when the target base station communicates with the terminal, and send the first encryption algorithm and the first integrity protection algorithm to the terminal. On one hand, a security algorithm used for communication between the terminal and the target base station is flexibly selected. On the other hand, because the base station connected to the terminal changes, communication security can be improved by using a new encryption algorithm and integrity protection algorithm.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a display having an array of pixels and a backlight that provides backlight illumination for the array of pixels. The backlight may be a direct-lit backlight with a two-dimensional array of light-emitting diodes operable in a local dimming scheme. The electronic device may include control circuitry that provides pixel signals to the array of pixels and backlight signals to the backlight. The control circuitry may adjust the pixel signals and the backlight signals to compensate for brightness and color non-uniformity in the backlight. To compensate for image-dependent backlight non-uniformity, the control circuitry may simulate artificial backlight data based on the target image to be displayed and stored point spread information. To compensate for white-point-dependent backlight non-uniformity, the control circuitry may use measured actual backlight data that describes color variations across the backlight for a given target white point.
