Abstract: Disclosed herein are implementations of systems and methods for providing antenna in package flexible components of wearable devices. A system can include a flexible component having a back plane layer disposed along a length of the flexible component. The system can include an antenna package having an insulating layer comprising a dielectric material disposed above the back plane layer and a circuitry layer disposed above at least a portion of the insulating layer and comprising one or more electrical components for processing antenna signals. The antenna package can include an antenna layer comprising an antenna pattern disposed above the circuitry layer and configured for wireless communication of the antenna signals using the wearable device. The back plane layer can be disposed between antenna layer and a surface of the flexible component configured to interface with a user wearing the wearable device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a satellite or systems, which may include a satellite. The satellite, in some embodiments, may correspond to a software-defined satellite. The satellite may provide a platform-as-a-service, resources of which can be made available to one or multiple different tenants on a per-use basis. Each tenant may be able to securely access different resources of the satellite.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus is attached to a feature to be deployed on a satellite. The apparatus includes a first material having an impedance, a second material coupled to the first material configured to provide a current or voltage to the first material causing the first material to generate heat based on the impedance after a launch process of a launch vehicle carrying the satellite has completed, and a third material configured to change state at a transition temperature. A release mechanism is coupled to the third material and holds the feature in an undeployed position on the satellite. The heat generated by the second material causes the third material to change state when the transition temperature range is reached and the release mechanism is released from the third material when the third material is in the second state to deploy the feature.

Abstract: Thermal management systems and corresponding use methods are described herein. A thermal management system includes a thermal dock operable to cool a computing device in physical contact with the thermal dock. The thermal dock includes a housing, a first thermal management device supported by the housing, and a second thermal management device physically connected to the first thermal management device. The first thermal management device is a different type of thermal management device than the second thermal management device.

Abstract: Technology is described for reducing display update time for a near-eye display (NED) device. A point of focus in the NED field of view is identified, often based on natural user input data. A communication module of a computer system communicatively coupled to the NED device transmits lossless priority data, an example of which is user focal region image data, using one or more communication techniques for satisfying lossless transmission criteria. Allowed loss image data is identified based at least in part on its distance vector from a point of focus in the display field of view. An example of allowed loss image data is image data to be displayed outside the user focal region. The allowed loss image data is transmitted and extracted from received image data allowing for lossy transmission.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for determining a depth map using TOF with low power consumption. In order to disambiguate, or de-alias, the returned distance(s) for a given phase shift, the system may emit n different frequencies of light over n successive image frames. After n frames of data are collected, the distances may be correlated by a variety of methodologies to determine a single distance to the object as measured over n image frames. As one frequency may be emitted per image frame, the depth map may be developed while consuming low power.
