| 1st Invent: | Christopher C. Painter (Dublin, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Disclosed herein are electronic sensor systems and methods of their operation. The electronic sensor systems contain a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) for measuring a physical parameter such as rotation, pressure, acceleration, or another physical parameter. The electronic sensor systems also contain an integrated circuit linked with the MEMS. The integrated circuit contains a MEMS sensing circuit that receives outputs from the MEMS through conductors, such as wire bonds or ball joints, at least partially encapsulated in a dielectric. The dielectric may experience environmentally-induced changes to its dielectric constant that may affect a capacitance between a pair of the conductors, which can affect a measurement provided by the MEMS. The integrated circuit contains a compensation circuit that measures a capacitance between a pair of the conductors and provides an adjustment to a measurement provided by the MEMS. |

| 1st Invent: | Byron R Cocilovo (Boulder, CO) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A display may include a substrate layered onto a waveguide. The substrate may include a first region with a first surface relief grating (SRG) and a second region that is non-diffractive or that includes a second SRG. The second region meets the first region at a boundary. A beam of light may be incident upon the substrate at the boundary. A phase compensation layer may be disposed on the waveguide overlapping the second region. The placement, thickness, and/or refractive index of the phase compensation layer may be selected to match the phase of portion of the beam that hits the first region to a phase of the portion of the beam that hits the second region. This may mitigate phase differences across the area of the beam, thereby maximizing the modulation transfer function of the display. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Provided herein are systems and methods for implementing visual content previews for content items associated with a software application. The content preview includes a visual preview of a content item that is updated based on modifications to the application source code. The content preview includes a plurality of viewports, with each viewport being independently controllable. Each viewport of the content preview can be ''paused'' to prevent the viewport from updating in response to modifications of the source code, while the content previews associated with other viewports are modified with modification to the source code. In this way, a developer can visually compare different versions of a content item when developing content in the preview application. The device displays a bounding volume concurrently with the content preview to visually depict a relationship between the size of content item and the three-dimensional size of a three-dimensional environment associated with the software application. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Display pixels of an electronic display may exhibit front-of-screen distortions when high spatial frequency image data is applied on the electronic display panel. The high spatial frequency may generate voltage ripple on a storage capacitor of pixel driving circuitry, causing mismatch between luminance of a first subpixel on an odd-numbered row and a corresponding subpixel on an even-numbered row. This odd-even row mismatch may be compensated via mismatch compensation circuitry. The mismatch compensation circuitry may include an odd subpixel compensation LUT and an even subpixel compensation LUT. The odd subpixel compensation LUT may output odd subpixel compensation values and the even subpixel compensation LUT may output even subpixel compensation values. The multiplexer may combine the odd subpixel compensation values and the even subpixel compensation values with input image data to generate compensated subpixel data, which may reduce or eliminate the odd-even row mismatch. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=8 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration information comprising repetitions for PDCCH candidates that comprise Downlink Control Information (DCI), receive PDCCH candidates and decode the PDCCH candidates based on the PDCCH configuration information. A UE is configured to receive semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration information for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), receive a PDSCH comprising Downlink Control Information (DCI) and decode the PDSCH comprising the DCI based on the SPS configuration information. |

| 1st Invent: | Huaning Niu (San Jose, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A user equipment (UE), a base station, a baseband processor or other network device can operate to generate a sidelink (SL) communication by sensing an SL channel with a clear channel assessment (CCA) and configuring a gap length based on a subcarrier spacing (SCS) and a cyclic prefix extension (CPE) with a CPE length. The CPE length and the gap length can be based on one or more conditions. The SL communication can then be transmitted in response to acquiring the SL channel. |

| 1st Invent: | Justin R. Etzine (San Jose, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=7 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Aspects of the subject technology include transmitting, by a first device, an advertisement message corresponding to a communications session the first device is participating in with at least a second device. The first device may receive, during the communications session, a communications session control message generated by a third device. The communications session control message may include information contained in the advertisement message. The first device may validate the third device based on the communications session control message and remove the first device from the communications session in response to successfully validating the third device. |

| 1st Invent: | Xin Miao (Saratoga, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Various structures that implement topside metal routing and backside metal routing in combination with vertical transistors are disclosed. The various structures include a building block cell with a metal contact layer between the backside metal routing and the vertical transistors. Various connections can be made within the building block cell to form more complex structures such as, but not limited to, inverter devices, NAND devices, and MUX (multiplexer) devices. |
