Abstract: In described examples, an integrated circuit includes first and second current sources, first and second switches, a dV/dt phase detector, a control circuit, and source, gate, and drain terminals for coupling to, respectively, a source, gate, and drain of a power FET. The first switch is coupled between the first current source and the gate terminal. The second switch is coupled between the second current source and the gate terminal.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that generates values for a representation of a face of a user. For example, an example process may include obtaining sensor data (e.g., live data) of a user, wherein the sensor data is associated with a point in time, generating a set of values representing the user based on the sensor data, and providing the set of values, where a depiction of the user at the point in time is displayed based on the set of values. In some implementations, the set of values includes depth values that define three-dimensional (3D) positions of portions of the user relative to multiple 3D positions of points of a projected surface and appearance values (e.g., color, texture, opacity, etc.) that define appearances of the portions of the user.

Abstract: A system for managing non-linear transmedia content data is provided. Memory stores a plurality of transmedia content data items and associated linking data which define time-ordered content links between the plurality of transmedia content data items. The plurality of transmedia content data items are arranged into linked transmedia content subsets comprising different groups of the transmedia content data items and different content links therebetween. A control engine receives one or more instructions to create a new time-ordered content link between at least two of the plurality of transmedia content data items. The control engine modifies the linking data stored in the memory to include the new time-ordered content link.
