| 1st Invent: | Ujjwal Das Gupta (San Francisco, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=4 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, the autonomous vehicle is navigated towards a flow of traffic with a first gap between first and second vehicles and a second gap following the second vehicle. A motion plan for directing the autonomous vehicle into the flow of traffic at an interaction zone is generated based on whether an ability of the autonomous vehicle to enter the interaction zone at the second gap exceeds a confidence threshold. The autonomous vehicle is autonomously navigated into the flow of traffic at the first gap when the confidence threshold is exceeded. The motion plan forgoes navigation of the autonomous vehicle into the flow of traffic at the first and second gaps when the ability of the autonomous vehicle to enter the interaction zone at the second gap does not exceed the confidence threshold. |

| 1st Invent: | John D. Pape (Cedar Park, TX) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing efficient translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation operations for splintered pages are described. When a TLB receives an invalidation request for a specified translation context, and the invalidation request maps to an entry with a relatively large page size, the TLB does not know if there are multiple translation entries stored in the TLB for smaller splintered pages of the relatively large page. The TLB tracks whether or not splintered pages for each translation context have been installed. If a TLB invalidate (TLBI) request is received, and splintered pages have not been installed, no searches are needed for splintered pages. To refresh the sticky bits, whenever a full TLB search is performed, the TLB rescans for splintered pages for other translation contexts. If no splintered pages are found, the sticky bit can be cleared and the number of full TLBI searches is reduced. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | An encoder is configured to compress point cloud geometry information using an octree geometric compression technique that utilizes slices corresponding in size to data transmission units. In some embodiments, a subsequent slice may be set to use a re-set entropy context or may be set to use an entropy context saved for a preceding slice. In some embodiments, an entropy context for the preceding slice may be for a slice other than the immediately preceding slice of the subsequent slice being evaluated, such that if the immediately preceding slice is lost in transmission (or if the immediately preceding slice and the subsequent slice are being evaluated in parallel) the subsequent slice''s entropy context can still be determined without depending on the immediately preceding slice. A decoder is configured to reconstruct a point cloud based on a bit stream encoded by the encoder. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A personal listening system and a method of using the personal listening system to enhance speech intelligibility of audio playback, are described. The method includes determining a speech intelligibility metric, such as a speech reception threshold, of a user. Based on the speech intelligibility metric, a tuning parameter is applied to an audio input signal. The speech reception threshold is compared to an environmental signal-to-noise ratio to determine whether enhancement of the audio input signal is warranted. Application of the tuning parameter to the audio input signal generates an audio output signal having reduced noise, making playback of the audio output signal more intelligible to the user. Other aspects are also described and claimed. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods and apparatus adapted to address asymmetric conditions in a multi-antenna system. In one embodiment, the multi-antenna system comprises a wireless (e.g., 3G cellular) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) system, and the methods and apparatus efficiently utilize transmitter and receiver resources based at least in part on a detected asymmetric condition. If an asymmetric condition is detected by the transmitter on any given data stream, the transmitter can decide to utilize only a subset of the available resources for that stream. Accordingly, the signal processing resources for that data stream are adapted to mirror the reduction in resources that are necessary for transmission. The transmitter signals the receiver that it will only be using a subset of the resources available, and the receiver adapts its operation according to the signaling data it receives. The multi-antenna system can therefore reduce power consumption as well as increasing spectral efficiency on the network. |

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode a configuration message from a source serving cell, the configuration message indicating signal selection criteria for cell measurement reporting. A synchronization signal (SS) burst set associated with one or more transmission/reception points (TRPs) within a neighboring cell is decoded, the SS burst set including a plurality of SS blocks. A cell beamforming measurement signal associated with the neighboring cell is generated, based on signal measurements of the SS blocks and the signal selection criteria. A radio resource management (RRM) measurement report message is encoded for transmission to the serving cell, the measurement report message including the cell beamforming measurement signal. A handover command message for initiating a handover to the neighboring cell is decoded, the handover command based on the cell beamforming measurement signal. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Electrical components may have plastic packages. Contacts may be formed on exterior surfaces of the plastic packages. A plastic package for an electrical component may have an elongated shape that extends along a longitudinal axis. A first groove may run parallel to the longitudinal axis on a lower surface of the plastic package. A second groove may run perpendicular to the first groove on an opposing upper surface of the plastic package. The electrical components may be coupled to fibers in a fabric such as a woven fabric. A first solder connection may be formed between the first groove and a first fiber such as a weft fiber. A second solder connection may be formed between the second groove and a second fiber such as a warp fiber. |
