Inventors:	Genders: F=1, M=7
Abstract: 2000 char max	This is directed to connecting two or more elements using an intermediate element constructed from a material that changes between states. An electronic device can include one or more components constructed by connecting several elements. To provide a connection having a reduced or small size or cross-section and construct a component having high tolerances, a material can be provided in a first state in which it flows between the elements before changing to a second state in which it adheres to the elements and provides a structurally sound connection. For example, a plastic can be molded between the elements. As another example, a composite material can be brazed between the elements. In some cases, internal surfaces of the elements can include one or more features for enhancing a bond between the elements and the material providing the interface between the elements.

Abstract: 2000 char max	An electronic device such as a head-mounted device may present extended reality content such as a representation of a three-dimensional environment. The representation of the three-dimensional environment may be changed between different viewing modes having different immersion levels in response to user input. The three-dimensional environment may represent a multiuser communication session. A multiuser communication session may be saved and subsequently viewed as a replay. There may be an interactive virtual object within the replay of the multiuser communication session. The pose of the interactive virtual object may be manipulated by a user while the replay is paused. Some multiuser communication sessions may be hierarchical multiuser communication sessions with a presenter and audience members. The presenter and audience members may receive generalized feedback based on the audience members during the presentation. A participant may have their role changed between audience member and presenter during the presentation.

Abstract: 2000 char max	On a foveated electronic display, foveated image data may include a variety of groupings of pixels in different resolutions for different parts of the display. As such, different parts of the foveated image data are routed to different pixels of the electronic display. One way of routing data is to use multiplexers to select which image data is routed to which source latches of columns of pixels of the electronic display. Depending on the number of columns of the electronic display, however, the multiplexers may consume a significant portion of the die area while also consuming a significant amount of energy and reducing the field-of-view (FOV). Instead of using multiplexers to route foveated image data in the electronic display, groups of source latches of the electronic display may be hardwired to respective wires of a pixel data bus.

Inventors:	Genders: F=2, M=3
Abstract: 2000 char max	Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for compensating for cell identification delays that are beyond the control of the UE, in connection with standards-specified cell identification timing limits. In frequency bands including both beam sweeping and listen-before-talk (LBT) requirements, a cell identification procedure may be significantly delayed due to LBT failure at the base station and/or beam misalignment between the base station and the UE. Therefore, UE cell identification timing constraints may be dynamically adjusted to compensate for such delays. For example, the time window allowed for cell identification of a neighbor cell may be dynamically increased in response to determining that one or more SSBs were not available at the UE during an SMTC occasion. In some scenarios, if the timing increase exceeds a predetermined threshold, the UE may restart the cell identification procedure, e.g., on the same frequency layer or on a different frequency layer.

Abstract: 2000 char max	A wireless network may include a PCELL base station, an SCELL base station, and user equipment (UE) that communicate using standalone carrier aggregation. The UE may receive PCELL signals during first measurement periods, may perform first measurements on the PCELL signals, may receive SCELL signals during second measurement periods, and may perform second measurements on the SCELL signals. When a scheduled reporting time approaches, the UE may compare a duration between a most recent of the second measurement periods and the reporting time to a threshold. If the duration is less than the threshold, the UE may include the most recent second measurement in a measurement report transmitted at the scheduled reporting time. When the duration exceeds the threshold, the receiver may perform a third measurement on the SCELL signals during an unscheduled period prior to the reporting time and may include the third measurement in the measurement report.

Abstract: 2000 char max	Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for power control aspects for message A (MsgA) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The approach includes determining a transmission power for a PUSCH associated with a physical random access channel (PRACH) in a 2-step random access channel (RACH) mode, where the transmission power for the PUSCH is determined based on a transmission power of the associated PRACH and a power offset. The approach further includes ramping up a transmission power of the PRACH and PUSCH until a maximum transmission power is reached.

1st Invent:	Firouz Behnamfar (Los Gatos, CA)
Inventors:	Genders: F=1, M=3
Abstract: 2000 char max	First user equipment (UE) exchanges at least a portion of data to be transmitted to a communication network with a second UE on a side channel. The UEs then send the data to the network at increased transmission power by using transmit antennas of both the first and second UEs, instead of just those of the first UE. In some cases, the second UE may transmit a variation of the data sent by the first UE to perform transmit diversity and improve signal-to-noise ratio. To avoid unintended beamforming of the transmissions, the network may mix signals (e.g., having a same symbol) received at the same time period but at different sub-carriers, or mix the signals received at different time periods but at the same sub-carrier. The network may notify the UEs of a phase correction value based on the signals, and the UEs may adjust using the phase correction value.

Abstract: 2000 char max	Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wakeup radio in a wireless communication system, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. An RRC state is introduced to support a wakeup radio/, including defining transition mechanisms to/from existing RRC states. Further, signaling is introduced to activate a wakeup radio/activate an RRC low power state. Additionally, a bandwidth part framework for a wakeup signal is defined in which a base station may configure one or more time/frequency resources or a wakeup signal for a wakeup radio. In addition, various mechanisms are introduced to switch a wakeup radio on as well as to switch a wakeup radio off. Also, mechanisms are introduced for multiplexing multiple wakeup signals in a time/frequency resource, configuring a wakeup signal bandwidth, and configuring which beam a wakeup signal may be received on.

Inventors:	Genders: F=0, M=1
Abstract: 2000 char max	Various integrated circuit transistor device structures that implement nanosheet fin transistors are disclosed. Layouts for the transistor device structures include active cells with dummy cells positioned between active cells. The active cells and dummy cells may include nanosheet fin regions that have different widths. In certain instances, the transitions between different nanosheet fin regions widths (e.g., jogs in the widths) are positioned inside the dummy cells rather than at interfaces between the dummy cells and the active cells. Placing the jogs in widths inside the dummy cells reduces mechanical stresses between active cells and dummy cells and allows for design changes in the size of active transistors during a manufacturing process.
