| Abstract: 2000 char max | A dynamic linking system can be designed to dynamically resolve symbol references of pages associated with executable code as the pages are paged into virtual memory. The operating system can include a dynamic linker that uses metadata in the pages to determine symbol references that reference other code or values. Other code can include code in shared libraries. The dynamic linker can generate a data structure containing the symbol references in a small and dense format. The dynamic linker can send the data structure and other relevant data to the kernel once the symbol references have been identified. The kernel can perform the functions related to resolving the symbol references. For example, the kernel can resolve the symbol by determining a pointer value for the symbol, wherein the pointer value can be used to point to code or values. The kernel can resolve the symbol references and store the data structure, which contains the resolved symbol references. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=10 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A light emitter that operates through a display may cause display artifacts, even when the light emitter operates using non-visible wavelengths. Display artifacts caused by a light emitter that operates through a display may be referred to as emitter artifacts. To mitigate emitter artifacts, a display pixel that overlaps the light emitter may include a transistor that provides a current sink to divert leakage current away from the light-emitting diode in that pixel. A shielding layer may be interposed between the light emitter and a display pixel. The shielding layer may block light from the light emitter. The shielding layer may have an opening that exposes one transistor in the pixel to the light from the light emitter. Pixels that overlap the light emitter may have larger anodes than pixels that do not overlap the light emitter. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | The present disclosure relates generally to an interface between a host processor device and a peripheral device, such as a camera or sensor, and, more particularly, to improving the generation of data signals with embedded clock information to be more rate-flexible and power efficient. Improved techniques are described herein to embed a clock signal into a data signal (e.g., to minimize the number of channels needed)while allowing for a variable link rate and avoiding the need for a phase lock loop (PLL) and/or long link training times at the receiver, which can consume large amounts of power and on-chip area. In some embodiments, a modified Manchester encoding scheme, e.g., using a fixed delay for its mid-bit transitions (and wherein the delay is independent of link rate), is used to achieve the dual aims of rate flexibility and power efficiency for an improved data signal interface with embedded clock information. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of multi-pipe scheduling for image decoding. For example, a bitstream may include compressed slices that are scheduled to each of the multiple decoding pipelines present in the image processing circuitry of an electronic device. The bitstream may include image data that was encoded using variable-length coding. This results in some bits of the image data containing denser and/or sparser syntax elements and result in variable processing times. The scheduling circuitry may be able to monitor each of the multiple decoder pipelines rate of bit consumption and the number of bits initially scheduled to each of the multiple pipelines and the number of bits consumed by each of the multiple pipelines over time so that incoming compressed slices may be scheduled to the pipe that will be able to process the compressed slice the fastest. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A user equipment (UE) is provided to select an uplink transmission beam to communicate with a base station in a secondary cell of a carrier aggregation (CA) scheme. The UE can communicate with a first base station in a primary cell (PCell), and receive a command from the wireless network to activate a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission to a second base station in a secondary cell (SCell). The second base station can be in a being-activated state. The UE can determine whether an uplink spatial relation configuration is provided to the UE, and determine whether the UE supports beam correspondence. Based on the determinations, the UE can select an uplink transmission beam for the PUCCH transmission to the second base station. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device receives a plurality of Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) beams transmitted by base stations (BSes) during discovery burst transmission windows (DBTWs). For each of the SSB beams, the UE device determines an index value of the SSB beam (l{subscript}SSB{/subscript}) within a respective one of the DBTWs, and determines a value Z=l{subscript}SSB {/subscript}mod N{subscript}SSD{/subscript}{superscript}QCL{/superscript}, where N{subscript}SSB{/subscript}{superscript}QCL {/superscript}represents a maximum allowable number of SSB beams transmitted by each of the BSes during a single DBTW. The UE device determines whether two or more of the SSB beams are quasi co-located based on the values Z for the SSB beams, and processes wireless signals received from the BSes based on the determination. |
