Abstract: A wireless power transmitting device transmits wireless power signals to a wireless power receiving device. The wireless power receiving device has a rectifier and a wireless power receiving coil that receives wireless power signals. The wireless power transmitting device uses a layer of coils to transmit the wireless power signals. A dielectric layer in the wireless power transmitting device defines a charging surface that receives the wireless power receiving device. A layer of temperature sensors is interposed between the layer of coils and the dielectric layer. Control circuitry in the wireless power transmitting device uses temperature information from the temperature sensors to determine whether a foreign object such as a coin is present on the charging surface.

Abstract: A processor configured to reduce the amount of time necessary for a mobile device to resume from a hibernation state is described. While in the hibernation state, power to all components of a mobile, except a motion sensor, may be powered off. The processor, upon receiving a signal from a wakeup sensor, causes the mobile device to initiate a transition from the hibernation mode to an awake mode. A validation sensor on the mobile device detects a user contact with the mobile device or user proximity with respect to the mobile device. Upon receiving a validation signal confirming validation of the transition from the hibernation state to the awake state, the processor resumes the transition to the awake mode. In the awake mode the mobile device may detect user input indicative of activating the mobile device. Upon receiving a signal indicating user input to activate the device, the processor may cause the device to become fully active, and ready for user interaction.

Abstract: A cross reality system that provides an immersive user experience by storing persistent spatial information about the physical world that one or multiple user devices can access to determine position within the physical world and that applications can access to specify the position of virtual objects within the physical world. Persistent spatial information enables users to have a shared virtual, as well as physical, experience when interacting with the cross reality system. Further, persistent spatial information may be used in maps of the physical world, enabling one or multiple devices to access and localize into previously stored maps, reducing the need to map a physical space before using the cross reality system in it. Persistent spatial information may be stored as persistent coordinate frames, which may include a transformation relative to a reference orientation and information derived from images in a location corresponding to the persistent coordinate frame.

The rack structure has a forwardly-rearwardly-movable component configured to perimetrically surround and support a portion of the relatively smaller front end region of the stack, and a forwardly-rearwardly extending fixed component that underlies and supports a portion of the relatively larger rear end region of the stack.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed that help developers determine server resource usage caused by client application generated events. Embodiments may be employed while an application is under development to balance the benefit of a given event with an estimated cost to process the event once the application is deployed. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a telemetry application that receives application generated events and estimates a resource cost they cause to data collection servers. The resource cost may be based on historic data captured from similar or related events, as well as data about how often the event and related events are raised by the application.
