Abstract: Techniques for low latency updating of an electrophoretic panel are described. According to such techniques, pixels may be continuously scanned out instead of buffering and updating at fixed scanning slots. In an example, a controller of a device loads, before receiving update data associated with a pixel of an electrophoretic panel, a LUT into a memory accessible to a LUT hardware module. After the LUT is loaded into the memory, the controller receives the update data indicating a color change to the pixel and associates the update data with the LUT. Based at least in part on the update data and the LUT, the controller determines waveform data corresponding to the color change and causes an output on the electrophoretic panel based at least in part on the waveform data.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems and methods for emulating a PCIe root complex integrated endpoint. The systems and methods can include hardware logic implemented in a root complex system-on-chip and/or a connected device. The hardware can receive a request message to access one or more registers of a hardware device; determine that the request message includes a request to access one or more Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)-specific registers; and respond to the request message without providing information associated with the one or more PCIe-specific registers.

Abstract: An apparatus with an ultra low power architecture is described herein. The apparatus includes a first power supply rail, wherein a plurality of subsystems are to be powered by the first power supply rail. The apparatus also includes a second power supply rail, wherein a plurality of autonomous subsystems are to be powered by the power supply rail, wherein the second power supply rail is to be always on, always available, and low power.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to increasing energy efficiency of sensor controllers are described. In an embodiment, logic (e.g., within a sensor controller) performs one or more tasks corresponding to acquisition of data from one or more sensors. The logic performs the one or more tasks to allow a processor core of the sensor controller to enter (or stay in) a low power consumption state during performance of the one or more data acquisition tasks. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a consuming logic to request and process data including a critical data portion and a second data portion, the data stored in a memory coupled to a processor interposed between the apparatus and the memory. In addition, the apparatus includes a protocol stack logic coupled to the consuming logic to issue a read request to the memory via the processor to request the data and to receive a plurality of completions responsive to the read request. In an embodiment, the protocol stack logic includes a completion handling logic to send data of a first of the completions to the consuming logic before protocol stack processing is completed on the completions. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that present a user interface via a touch panel of a device are described. The touch panel can have touch sensors to generate touch events to receive user inputs from a user using the device. Sensor data may be provided via one or more context sensors. The sensor data can be related to a usage context of the device by the user. Context values may be determined based on the sensor data of the context sensors to represent the usage context. The user interface may be updated when the context values indicate a change of the usage context to adapt the device for the usage context.
