Abstract: A number of unit cells of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) may be simultaneously activated to generate an analog signal. However, while each unit cell may be generally the same, there may be variations such as non-linearity or noise in the analog output depending on which unit cells are activated for a given digital signal value. For example, as additional unit cells are activated for increased values of the analog signal, the fill order in which the unit cells are activated may affect the linearity/noise of the DAC. The decision units may be programmable to select which branches of the fractal DAC to activate, changing the fill order based on a fill-selection signal. The fill order may be set by a fill controller via the fill-selection signal to account for manufacturing variations, gradients in the supply voltage, output line routing, and/or environmental factors such as temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for a media device operating on a first network that can detect and switch media service to a second network to maintain access of a desired service quality. The media device can cause a presentation of the recommended second network, and receive a selection (e.g., user input) of the second network before the switch. The recommendation can be user-initiated or occur while accessing service without user initiation. The recommendation of the second network can be based on: a signal quality of the second network and/or the capabilities of the device providing the second network; a correlation of characteristics that indicate that stored credentials of a first network can be reused in another network; a security level of the first network; and/or platform capabilities of the media device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an input data from a host to schedule a meeting. The input data may include invitees to the meeting and a time/date associated with the meeting. A first and a second set of invitees from the invitees are determined. The first set of invitees is identified to start a pre-meeting meeting prior to the meeting scheduled at the time/date. The second set of invitees is identified to start the meeting at the time/date. It is appreciated that the pre-meeting meeting and the meeting are merged into a single meeting at a predetermined threshold of time.

Abstract: Data about concentration of one or more types of molecules present within a human body are determined noninvasively using radio frequency (RF) signals. Signals at several different frequencies at very low power levels are emitted using an antenna mounted to a wearable device. Operating values, such as changes to the impedance of the antenna resulting from interaction between the RF signals and the user, are associated with the concentration of one or more types of molecules within the user. These changes in impedance may be relatively small. Circuitry in the device determines internal impedance of the circuitry, compensating for internal impedances and improving overall accuracy of the measured impedance resulting from interaction with the user.
