| 1st Invent: | Anna-Katrina Shedletsky (Mountain View, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Various embodiments for detecting and rejecting false, unintended rotations of rotary inputs of electronic devices are disclosed herein. In one example, an electronic device is provided with an optical detector that measures the distance between the electronic device and the wearer''s forearm or hand, and when the distance is smaller than a threshold distance, the turns of the rotary input are false, unintended turns. In another example, a crown of a rotary input includes a plurality of capacitive sensors that detects the presence of a wearer''s finger, which when absent, the turns of the rotary input are false turns. In another example, deflections or positions of a shaft of the rotary input are measured and if the deflections/positions indicate an upward force on the rotary input (which are likely caused by the wearer''s forearm or hand), the turns of the rotary input are false turns. Other embodiments are described herein. |

| 1st Invent: | Kushal Dalmia (Santa Clara, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=4 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Memory management in a data processing system can learn one or more behaviors of software processes such as daemon software processes and application processes, and based on information learned about the behaviors, the memory management can adjust how it controls memory usage in the system. For example, a memory management system can learn how software processes react (e.g. how quickly they relaunch) to memory recovery methods, such as system initiated terminations of one or more software processes that are performed to reclaim memory to increase available volatile memory, and based on information about how they react, the memory recovery methods can operate differently depending upon how the software reacted previously. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems, methods, and devices are described herein to query data in an entity data database. A query for information about a set of entities is received from a requesting system. The query is in a predefined format and includes search conditions. A querying strategy is determined based on the received query. The entity data database is queried by identifying a set of user records that fulfill a first search condition. A numerical value of the set of user records is next compared to a threshold. Depending on the numerical value, the set of user records is assigned to a first numerical bucket. Depending on the bucket, the numerical value is changed to a second numerical value, which is used to generate an aggregated count value. The aggregated count value is shared with the requesting system. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A communication device includes a duplexer differentially coupled to a receiver and a transmitter. The duplexer may include phase shifters on the differential lines to provide differential received signals to the receiver and receive differential transmission signals from the transmitter for transmission. For example, the phase shifter are positioned such that single-ended received signals may be converted to differential received signals and convert the differential transmission signals to single-ended transmission signals for transmission. Moreover, the phase shifters may provide the single-ended transmission signals to antennas for transmission and to the differential lines of the receiver for cancellation/isolation. Furthermore, the phase shifters may provide the differential received signals to the receiver for reception and provide the single-ended received signals to the differential lines of the transmitter for cancellation/isolation. Accordingly, the duplexer may convey communication signal while reducing signal interference by providing improved isolation. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for operating eMTC (enhanced Machine Type Communication) user equipment (UE) and/or NB-IoT UEs when connected to a 5G Core Network (5GCN). For example, some embodiments are directed to a user equipment (UE). The UE includes processor circuitry and radio front circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to receive, using the radio front end circuitry and from a Non-Access Stratum layer (NAS) of a cell, an indication to use a 5G Core Network (5GCN) for the cell. The processor circuitry can be further configured to transmit, using the radio front end, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection request in response to the indication to use the 5GCN. |
