| 1st Invent: | Michael D Eaton (Menlo Park, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An electronic device may have a sensor and may have a radio-frequency signal transmitter. The sensor may be vulnerable to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the radio-frequency (RF) signals. Therefore, circuitry in the device may determine whether measurements from the sensor have been impacted by EMI. To make this determination, a digital filter may be used. In particular, the digital filter may be a digital persistence filter that generates a signal if the sensor measurement is high for a time that corresponds with the known emission time of the RF signals. Alternatively, the digital filter may receive the sensor measurements in the digital domain and compare the sensor measurements to time-delayed sensor measurements to determine whether the sensor measurements have been impacted by EMI. Control circuitry may discard any of the sensor measurements, or measurements from one or more other sensors, in response to the sensor measurements being impacted by EMI. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A system reorders filters in a set of the filters that may be used to update a list of content. In response to receiving user input selecting a particular filter, the system may filter and/or reorder the content in the list of content and reorder the remaining un-selected filters. Filters that would result in a more even split of the content may be ranked higher than filters that would result in a less even split of that content. A filter that would result in selection of half of the content would be ranked higher than another filter that would result in selection of one-fourth or three-fourth of the content. The system may rank filters based on a user''s historical usage. The system may apply a variety of factors to select an order for the filters by, for example, using a weighted average of scores that correspond respectively to the factors. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A video encoding and decoding system that implements an adaptive transfer function method internally within the codec for signal representation. A focus dynamic range representing an effective dynamic range of the human visual system may be dynamically determined for each scene, sequence, frame, or region of input video. The video data may be cropped and quantized into the bit depth of the codec according to a transfer function for encoding within the codec. The transfer function may be the same as the transfer function of the input video data or may be a transfer function internal to the codec. The encoded video data may be decoded and expanded into the dynamic range of display(s). The adaptive transfer function method enables the codec to use fewer bits for the internal representation of the signal while still representing the entire dynamic range of the signal in output. |

Based on the playback context information obtained by the user device, the user device can generate a predictive score for each available playback device that indicates or predicts the likelihood that the user will want to send media content to the corresponding playback device. The user device can generate and present a graphical user interface that can identify the playback devices having predictive scores over a threshold score. In some instances, the user device can automatically route selected media content to a predicted playback device. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Certain embodiments are directed to techniques (e.g., a device, a method, a memory or non-transitory computer readable medium storing code or instructions executable by one or more processors) for passive beacon communication techniques. Transmitting devices (e.g., beacons) can transmit advertising messages using a first wireless protocol to provide timing for ranging messages for one of more ranging messages over a second protocol (e.g., UWB). One or more receiving devices can determine using signal strength if the devices are within a threshold range to perform communication techniques. Various ranging communications techniques can be used to determine a range between the receiving device and transmitting device. Other techniques can be used to passively calculate the angle of arrival for transmitter signals. The angle of arrival information can be used for precise position locating for the receiving device or to indicate interest in information provided by the one or more transmitting devices. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A communications system may include user equipment (UE) that transmits data to a recipient via a network. The UE may receive user input and may generate the data based on the input. When a terrestrial network is unavailable to the UE, the UE may transmit segments of the data over a satellite constellation as the UE continues to receive input and while connectivity to the constellation exceeds a threshold. If a portion of the input includes an edit to a previous segment, the UE may include an edit flag in the corresponding segment. Once input has finished, the UE may sign the segments and may transmit a signature over the constellation. The network may store the segments as received from the constellation, may replace edited segments with more recent segments containing edit flags, and may compile and transmit all of the segments to the recipient upon receipt of the signature. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Techniques are described for improving service continuity for Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS) communications during handover. Techniques are included for supporting lossless handover and data forwarding during handover for peer-to-multiple (PTM) MBS transmission. Lossless handover may be achieved in part by the user equipment (UE) providing to the target base station an indication of the next packet of the MBS session to be received following an RRC reconfiguration message, and an indication of any MBS packets provided by the source base station prior to the RRC reconfiguration message that were not properly received by the UE. Data forwarding may be performed from the source base station to the target base station if the MBS session was not configured on the target base station prior to the handover. Data forwarding may be omitted if the MBS session was configured on the target base station prior to the handover. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The primary device may process the statistics to determine whether the compute task will be offloaded to the secondary devices or performed locally. The primary device may generate a distribution scheme for the secondary devices based on the statistics. This may involve modeling first delays associated with transmission of signals from the primary device to the secondary devices, second delays associated with transmission of compute results from the secondary devices to the primary device, and third delays associated with processing resources of the secondary devices. The optimized distribution scheme may minimize overall runtime of the compute task given the modeled delays, scheduling grants for the secondary devices, and a radio resource allocation for the secondary devices. |
