1st Invent:	Helena Deirdre O''Shea (San Jose, CA)
Inventors:	Genders: F=1, M=5
Abstract: 2000 char max	Embodiments relate to updating spur cancellation at a victim integrated circuit (IC) in accordance with dynamic changes in the operating frequencies of an aggressor IC. The aggressor IC changes its operating frequencies at an update time that is determined in advance. The update time and the changes to the operating frequencies are shared with the victim IC. The victim IC dynamically updates the relationships between frequencies of local clock signals for the victim IC and the aggressor IC. The victim IC generates a spur cancellation parameter based on the updated relationships of local clock frequencies, the update time and the changes to the operating frequencies of the aggressor IC, and configures a spur cancellation circuit. In this way, the victim IC may perform effective spur cancellation despite changes in the operating frequencies of the aggressor IC and deviation of the local clock frequencies.

1st Invent:	Haowei Jiang (San Diego, CA)
Inventors:	Genders: No name resolution.
Abstract: 2000 char max	This case is directed to supporting LB/LB, LB/MB, LB/HB and MB/HB carrier aggregation while reducing the area consumed on a transceiver and reducing power consumed on the transceiver. In some cases, four supporting such carrier aggregation may include implementing four separate radio frequency mixer chains. However, implementing four separate mixer chains may consume excessive area on the transceiver and may result in excessive transceiver power consumption. By leveraging the fact that HB LO frequency ranges overlap with LB LO frequency ranges, a dual-band gain stage may be implemented such that an LB/HB mixer may share a single LO signal (e.g., so as to provide a dual-band matching network that may provide impedance matching at LB and HB frequencies) without extending an original LB LO signal bandwidth. The dual-band gain stage may reduce space and power consumed on the transceiver while maintaining support for LB/LB, LB/MB, LB/HB and MB/HB carrier aggregation.

Abstract: 2000 char max	Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that convert a mono image to a stereo image pair. For example, a process may obtain an input image including appearance values at pixel positions. The input image corresponds to an appearance of a scene from a first viewpoint. The process may further determine a depth image comprising depth values at original pixel positions that are mapped to corresponding pixel positions of the input image. The process may further generate a first output image corresponding to a second viewpoint of the scene different than the first viewpoint and a second output image corresponding to a third viewpoint of the scene different than the second viewpoint. The process may further enable comfort-based 3D style presets for adjusting comfort parameters for viewing a stereo image pair.

Abstract: 2000 char max	An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. Display pipeline circuitry for the lenticular display may implement crosstalk correction. Crosstalk correction may be performed before pixel mapping using stored crosstalk calibration profiles, crosstalk correction may be performed by ray tracing multiple beams per pixel, and/or crosstalk correction may be performed after pixel mapping using a kernel lookup table.

Abstract: 2000 char max	An image sensor includes a pixel-circuit and circuitry. The pixel-circuit includes a PD that accumulates charge responsively to incident light and a FD that stores the charge. The circuitry serially (i) connects the PD and a supply rail to the FD and sends a first FD voltage, (ii) disconnects the supply rail from the FD and sends a second FD voltage, (iii) disconnects the PD from the FD and sends a third FD voltage, (iv) waits a preset exposure time, (v) connects the supply rail to the FD and sends a fourth FD voltage, (vi) disconnects the supply rail from the FD and sends a fifth FD voltage, and (vii) connects the PD to the FD and sends a sixth FD voltage. The circuitry estimates incident light energy responsively to (i) the FD voltages, and (ii) a capacitance ratio defined over at least capacitances of the FD and the PD.

1st Invent:	Jia Liu (Munich, )
Inventors:	Genders: F=1, M=0
Abstract: 2000 char max	An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having a modem that conveys data over a data path and that is operable using a dynamic voltage and frequency management (DVFM) profile. A resource and state manager (RSM) may adjust the DVFM profile based on L1, L2, L3, and/or IPC parameters. A routine track may generate a first profile based on an L1 parameter such as DL MAC TB size and may generate a second profile based on an L2 parameter such as UL pre-build size. A protective track may independently generate a third profile based on a performance event along the data path. The RSM may aggregate the preferred profiles to update the current DVFM profile in a manner that optimizes efficiency while ensuring that a sufficiently high DVFM profile is used at any given time without consuming unnecessary power.

Abstract: 2000 char max	Embodiments herein provide various apparatuses and techniques that indicate multiple power classes that user equipment may support to a network. The user equipment may support at least a lower power class (e.g., having a lower maximum transmission power) and a higher power class (e.g., having a higher maximum transmission power) to the network. The user equipment may send indications to the network that it supports both the lower power class and the higher power class. If the network/user equipment are in a geographical region associated with regulations limiting transmission power to the lower maximum transmission power, then the network may configure a transmission power characteristic based on the lower power class. If the network/user equipment are in a geographical region associated with regulations limiting transmission power to the higher maximum transmission power, then the network may configure the transmission power characteristic based on the higher power class.

Abstract: 2000 char max	An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory, where to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) sidelink communication. The processing circuitry is to determine a set of candidate resources of the UE from a sidelink resource pool, the sidelink resource divided into multiple time slots, frequency channels, and frequency sub-channels. Sidelink control information (SCI) is encoded for transmission to a second UE via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). The SCI indicates a plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources. A transport block is mapped across the plurality of transmission resources. A physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) is encoded for transmission to the second UE using the plurality of transmission resources, the PSSCH encoded to include the mapped transport block.
