Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating for display digital content (e.g., an advertisement, a feed item, or some other information) together with digital components (e.g., branding data for the application or the publisher of the application). When the server receives, from a user device, a digital content request, the server can determine whether the digital content request was transmitted in response to an application state being changed to an active focus. Based on determining that the digital content request is being sent in response to an application state being changed to an active focus, the server generates a response that includes digital content and one or more digital components (e.g., branding data), and transmits that response to the user device. When the user device receives the response, the user device generates for display the digital components and the digital content.

The acoustic field comprises a carrier wave and a modulated wave. The carrier wave has a plurality of modulated focal areas. A plurality of control points having a known spatial relationship relative to at least one of the plurality of ultrasonic transducer arrays is used. The plurality of ultrasonic transducer arrays are calibrated by using the relative position of each of the plurality of ultrasonic transducer arrays.

Abstract: Obsoleting values stored in registers in a processor based on processing obsolescent register-encoded instructions is disclosed. The processor is configured to support execution of read and/or write instructions that include obsolescence encoding indicating that one or more of its source and/or target register operands are to be obsoleted by the processor. A register encoded as obsolescent means the data value stored in such register will not be used by subsequent instructions in an instruction stream, and thus does not need to be retained. Thus, such register can be set as being in an obsolescent state so that the data value stored in such register can be ignored to improve performance. As one example, data values for registers having an obsolescent state can be ignored and thus not stored in a saved context for a process being switched out, thus conserving memory and improving processing time for a process switch.

Abstract: Providing exception stack management using stack panic fault exceptions in processor-based devices is disclosed. In this regard, a processor device defines a “stack panic fault exception” that may be raised upon execution of an exception handler store operation attempting to write state data into an exception stack, and provides a dedicated plurality of stack panic fault exception state registers in which stack panic fault exception state data may be saved. Upon detecting a first exception, the processor device transfers program control to an exception handler for the first exception. If a second exception occurs upon execution of a store operation in the exception handler, the processor device determines that the second exception should be handled as a stack panic fault exception, saves the stack panic fault exception state data in the stack panic fault exception state registers, and transfers program control to a stack panic fault exception handler.
