| 1st Invent: | Johnson O. Sebeni (Fremont, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A downlink control information (DCI), such as a blanking DCI (bDCI) message may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., eNB) and received by a mobile device (e.g., UE). The bDCI may indicate that the eNB will not transmit a subsequent DCI to the UE for a duration of time. The UE may be in continuous reception mode or connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode. The UE may therefore determine to enter a sleep state or take other action. The bDCI may specify an explicit blanking duration, or an index indicating a blanking duration from a lookup table, and/or the blanking duration (and/or a blanking duration offset value) may be determined in advance, e.g., semi-statically. When the UE is in C-DRX mode, the UE may be configured such that either the sleep/wake period of the C-DRX mode or the blanking period of the bDCI may take precedence over the other. |

| 1st Invent: | James T. Curran (Cupertino, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Embodiments described herein provide for a technique to enable sensor data gathered by multiple electronic devices, such as smart home devices, to be fused into a single coordinate space to enable a higher sensor resolution at each device. For example, multiple sensor equipped devices may communicate over a network to share sensor data between devices. Each device can combine local sensor data with remote sensor data received from other devices to increase the angular resolution of the detected sensor data. To enable this combination, motion characteristics of commonly detected objects can be used to enable the devices to determine a set of relative positions. Coordinate space transformations can then be computed based on the relative positions. Sensor data can be fused using the determined coordinate space transformations. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A display pixel may include an organic light-emitting diode, one or more emission transistors, a drive transistor, a gate setting transistor, a data loading transistor, and an initialization transistor. The drive transistor may be implemented as a semiconducting-oxide transistor to mitigate threshold voltage hysteresis to improve first frame response at high refresh rates, to reduce undesired luminance jumps at low refresh rates, and to reduce image sticking. The gate setting transistor may also be implemented as a semiconducting-oxide transistor to reduce leakage at the gate terminal of the drive transistor. The initialization transistor may also be implemented as a semiconducting-oxide transistor so that it can be controlled using a shared emission signal to reduce routing complexity. The remaining transistors in the pixel may be implemented as p-type silicon transistors. Display pixels configured in this way can support in-pixel threshold voltage compensation and on-bias stress phase to further mitigate the hysteresis. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments verifying legitimate victim-aggressor pairs in remote interference management operation. In an embodiment, a first even report is generated by a victim base station based detection of an atmospheric duct and it transmits a victim reference signal with the first event report. The first event report includes an ID of the victim base station. An aggressor base station is triggered to begin monitoring for transmission of the victim reference signal. The aggressor base station sends a second event report if it detects the victim reference signal. The central entity tries to verify that the victim and aggressor are legitimate. If the verification passes, then the central entity sends a message to the aggressor to start of remote interference mitigation. If verification fails, the remote interference mitigation is not triggered and the victim reference signal is ignored. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically transitioning between communication modes of wearable audio output devices based solely on acoustic analysis. The audio output devices may operate in one of three electroacoustic modes. In the transparency mode, an audio output device may pass through the speech signal of a nearby user. In the peer-to-peer mode, the audio output device may establish a direct low-latency radio frequency (RF) link to another audio output device. In the telephony mode, the audio output device may communicate with another audio output device using networked telephony. The disclosed methods and systems perform acoustic analysis of the near-field speech signal of a local wearer of the audio output device and the far-field speech signal of a remote talker to determine the best mode for the audio output device to use and to seamlessly transition between the modes as the acoustic environment between the wearers changes. |
