Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure may include a receiver with a reconfigurable processing path for different signal conditions. Such a receiver may reconfigure between a mixer-first configuration and an amplifier-first configuration. In the mixer-first configuration, an RF input signal is not passed through an LNA for amplification before processing the RF input signal for downconversion to baseband and eventual extraction of the information in the signal. In the amplifier-first configuration, an RF input signal is passed through an LNA for amplification before processing the RF input signal for downconversion to baseband and eventual extraction of the information in the signal. Reconfiguring the receiver between mixer-first and amplifier-first configurations may be performed based on detection of jammer signals and/or measurement of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for identifying an application (e.g., accessing application) that is attempting to access a resource. In some examples, access may be managed by an authentication service. When an access request is received at the authentication service from an application on a client device, the authentication service may ask the application to communicate with an identification agent on the client device. The identification agent may perform one or more tests to discover the identity of the application. In some cases, the identification agent may send the identity of the application to the authentication service. The authentication service may then allow or deny access by the accessing application to the resource based at least in part on the discovered identity.

Abstract: Carrier aggregation (CA) may cause interference between operation on two or more carriers within a user equipment (UE). This interference can degrade signal quality on one or more of the carriers involved in the carrier aggregation, which may be referred to as “desensing” one or more carriers. One or more isolating buffers may be coupled at a down-conversion mixer at a point where the down-conversion mixer receives a signal from a transmission line for isolating the transmission line from other transmission lines. The isolating buffer may reduce the effect of interference between multiple transmission lines carrying different carriers during carrier aggregation (CA) operation. The isolating buffers may be used in an RF transceiver supporting both 5G sub-7 GHz and 5G mmWave wireless networks and carrier aggregation across sub-7 GHz and mmWave bands.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently resetting data stored in a memory array are described. In various implementations, an integrated circuit includes a memory for storing data, and a processing unit that generates access requests for the data stored in the memory. When access circuitry of the memory array begins a reset operation, it reduces a power supply voltage level used by memory bit cells in a column of the array to a value less than a threshold voltage of transistors. Therefore, the p-type transistors of the bit cells do not contend with the write driver during a write operation. The access circuitry provides the reset data on the write bit lines, and asserts each of the write word lines of the memory array. To complete the write operation, the access circuitry returns the power supply voltage level from below the threshold voltage level to an operating voltage level.

Abstract: Closed-loop geothermal systems operate by extracting heat from the reservoir and transporting it to the surface. To maintain high enough temperatures at the surface it is necessary to have significantly higher relative reservoir temperatures. While the thermal energy of the sub surface is abundant, reservoir rock is a natural insulator with a thermal conductivity of less than 20 BTU*in2/ft*hr*F. This low thermal conductivity prevents rapid regeneration of the reservoir temperature around the wellbore reducing the relative temperature below what is needed for electrical production. The Thermal Soak method uses time and multiple closed-loop wells to overcome the low thermal conductivity allowing for continuous production of heated fluid at surface.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus including a receiver configured to process a radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a baseband signal; a radio frequency (RF) jammer detector configured to generate a signal indicative of whether an RF jammer is present at an input of the receiver; and a receiver bias circuit configured to generate a supply voltage for the receiver based on the RF jammer indication signal. In another aspect, the apparatus includes constant gain bias circuit to maintain the gain of the receiver constant in response to changes in the supply voltage. In other aspects, the receiver bias circuit may suspend the generating of the supply voltage based on the RF jammer indication signal if the power level of the target received signal is above a threshold. In other aspects, the receiver bias circuit changes the supply voltage during cyclic prefix (CP) intervals between downlink intervals.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for enabling real-time gestures on shared canvases are presented. A shared object service may be associated with a plurality of shared objects. A plurality of user accounts and/or client devices may be granted access to a shared object. Each client device that accesses the shared object may store a distributed data structure locally that corresponds to the shared object. When client devices perform operations associated with the shared object the operations are logged by the shared object service and timestamped. Those operations are then reported to the client devices, where cursor movements can be rendered in real time. If cursor movements and/or user input device operations associated with a cursor meet conditions for a gesture operation the cursor may be transformed to a gesture/animation and rendered on canvases of each connected client device.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques and apparatus for operating a wireless receiver of the apparatus in a high linearity mode. An example method includes operating the apparatus in a first mode with transmission of a plurality of transmit signals. The method also includes attenuating a received signal via an attenuator while operating the apparatus in the first mode. The method further includes amplifying the attenuated signal with an amplifier while operating the apparatus in the first mode. For certain aspects, the method further involves operating the apparatus in a second mode, bypassing the attenuator while operating the apparatus in the second mode, and amplifying the received signal with the amplifier while operating the apparatus in the second mode.

Abstract: An amplifier may include multiple stages, with the multiple stages arranged in a fan-out configuration. The fan-out configuration provides multiple amplified signals at multiple amplifier output nodes, which may be coupled to a shared set of downconverters. The shared downconverters may support processing of only a smaller bandwidth than the largest possible bandwidth of an input RF signal input to the amplifier. For example, the downconverters may support a bandwidth matching a smallest bandwidth of a supported RF signal. For example, when the amplifier is intended to support 5G mmWave RF signals and 5G sub-6 GHz RF signals, the downconverters may each individually support a bandwidth of carriers in the 5G sub-6 GHz RF signals but not individually support the entire bandwidth of a possible 5G mmWave RF signal.
