| 1st Invent: | Wegene H. Tadele (San Francisco, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=8 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Robust estimation of temperatures inside and outside a device can be achieved using one or more absolute temperature sensors optionally in conjunction with thermopile heat flux sensors. Thermopile temperature sensing systems can measure a temperature gradient across two locations within the device, to estimate absolute temperature at locations that are impractical to measure using absolute temperature sensors. Using heat flux models associated with the device, the thermopile temperature sensing system can be used to estimate temperature associated with objects that contact an outer surface of the device, such as a user''s skin temperature. Additionally, the thermopile temperature sensing system can be used to estimate ambient air temperature. Within a device, temperature measurements from the thermopile temperature sensors can be used to compensate sensor measurements, such as when the accuracy or reliability of a sensor varies with temperature. |

| 1st Invent: | Jian Gao (Fremont, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=5 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A display may include a waveguide, an input coupler having a first surface relief grating (SRG) in a substrate on the waveguide, a cross-coupler having a second SRG in the substrate, and an output coupler having a third SRG in the substrate. The display may direct light to an eye box. A capping layer may be disposed over the substrate. An anti-reflective coating may be disposed over the capping layer. Microstructures may be disposed in non-SRG regions of the substrate and may be non-diffractive at visible wavelengths. The microstructures may include grooves and may have a similar filling factor to the SRGs. This may cause portions of the capping layer over the microstructures to sink into the grooves, thereby providing the capping layer with a relatively uniform thickness across a lateral area of the waveguide, without the microstructures producing visible artifacts or interacting with the light. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Electrodes configurable for capacitive touch sensing or inductive sensing are disclosed. The electrodes are formed from a plurality of tiled (connected) sense pixels, each sense pixel including two or four conductive elements. The conductive elements within the plurality of sense pixels of an electrode are connected to form conductive pathways within the electrode. These conductive pathways enable each electrode to be configured as a touch electrode for single-ended or differential capacitive touch sensing, or into one or two loops for inductive sensing. In pixels with four conductive elements, two conductive elements are formed with a comb shape for maximizing current conduction during inductive sensing and maximizing capacitive coupling during touch sensing, and two conductive elements are formed as bypasses. In electrodes formed from sense pixels with four conductive elements, each conductive pathway within the electrode is formed as an alternating series of comb-shaped conductive elements and bypasses. |

A first control loop generates, using digital samples and based on comparisons of a reference voltage to a voltage on the regulated power supply line, a first plurality of control signals. A second control loop, using the digital samples, generates a second plurality of control signals based on a rate of change of the voltage of the regulated power supply line. The second control loop causes the first control loop to control the plurality of phase circuits in response to detecting that the rate of change is within a specified range, and causes the second control loop to control the plurality of phase circuits, in response to detecting that the rate of change exceeds the specified range. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A communication system may include a base station (BS), user equipment (UE), and a set of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS''s). The RIS''s, the UE, and the BS may communicate using a control RAT and a data RAT. The BS may transmit downlink (DL) signals to the UE device via reflection off a DL RIS. The UE device may transmit uplink (UL) signals to the BS via reflection off a UL RIS. This may optimize wireless performance in situations where reflecting the UL and DL signals off the same RIS would limit performance under the current data RAT channel conditions. The BS and the UE device may use channel measurements of the control RAT at the RIS''s to select the UL RIS and the DL RIS. This may significantly reduce overhead required to identify the UL and DL RIS''s relative to scenarios where exhaustive beam training is used. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | This application describes managing configuration of a bootstrap electronic SIM (eSIM) for a wireless device. A bootstrap eSIM on an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the wireless device is configured as needed to provide cellular wireless access. The bootstrap eSIM is configured with an initial international mobile subscriber identity (i-IMSI) value used to establish a cellular connection to obtain a bootstrap IMSI (b-IMSI) value allocated for temporary, dedicated use by the wireless device. The b-IMSI value is selected by a bootstrap server based on a bootstrap selection rule obtained from a bootstrap rules service, where the bootstrap selection rule accounts for a use case type provided by the wireless device and indicating a purpose for use of the b-IMSI value. The b-IMSI value is returned to a pool for use by other wireless devices after expiration of a timer or responsive to a delete notification message. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Apparatus and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) to communicate with a new radio (NR) wireless network in a standalone deployment. The UE camps on a first cell and determines that a first bandwidth (BW) of the first cell is greater than or equal to a threshold BW value. In response, when the UE is not configured for bandwidth part switching (BWPS), the UE determines whether a second cell is available that is intraband with and has a same priority as the first cell and that has a second BW that is less than the threshold BW value. When the second cell is not available, the UE searches for a next lower priority cell that has a third BW that is less than the threshold BW value. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for performing handover, radio link monitoring (RLM), beam failure detection (BFD), and candidate beam detection (CBD) within the unlicensed spectrum when a listen-before-talk (LBT) failure occurs and/or when a user equipment (UE) performs receiving (RX) beam sweeping. For example, a UE is configured to receive a handover command to connect to a target cell. The UE is further configured to determine a search time and an interruption time uncertainty during a handover procedure initiated by the handover command and in response to a LBT failure or the UE performing a beam sweeping operation. The UE can further determine a handover delay based on the search time and the interruption time uncertainty. In response to a time period for performing the handover procedure exceeding the handover delay, the UE can cease the handover procedure. |
