  • Patent number: 12004054
    Abstract: A system may have electronic devices with wireless communications circuitry. Devices may transmit short-range wireless signals such as advertising packets. Each advertising packet may contain information on the motion context of the transmitting device. By comparing motion context information for received packets with local motion context information, an electronic device may analyze received signal strength indicator measurements with enhanced accuracy. Presence-in-vehicle state information and/or other device context may also be obtained from nearby devices by comparing local and received motion context.

  • Publication number: 20240170103
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a solution for ph-AFQMC with direct product multi-Slater determinants trial. Multiple active spaces of a molecular system may be obtained and multiple coefficient tensors may be determined respectively. A composite coefficient tensor may be determined based on a tensor product of the multiple coefficient tensors of the multiple active spaces, and a trial wave function may be further determined based on the composite coefficient tensor and a cutoff value. As such, the multiple coefficient tensors for the multiple active spaces may be determined, thus the computation can be reduced. Additionally, since a cutoff value is used, the composite coefficient tensor is a sparse tensor and the number of Slater determinants may be reduced. Further, the determined trial wave function may be further used in a ph-AFQMC algorithm, and a balance between accuracy and efficiency may be achieved.

  • Patent number: 11961332
    Abstract: One or more electronic device may use motion and/or activity sensors to estimate a user's 6 minute walking distance. In particular, because users typically walk at less than their maximum output and in imperfect conditions, control circuitry within the device(s) may rely on walks of shorter distances to estimate the 6 minute walking distance. For example, the control circuitry may gather activity information for the user, such as heart rate, calories burned, and step count, and analyze a distance component and a speed component for periods in which the user has walked. Individual 6 minute walk distance estimates may be generated based on each of the activity information, distance component, and speed component. The distance and speed estimates may be corrected for walking behaviors that deviate from an ideal testing environment, and may then be fused with the activity estimate to generate a final 6 minute walk distance estimate.
