    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for measuring and/or reporting UE-to-UE crosslink interference (CLI). Techniques of realizing efficient L3 CLI RSSI and SRS-RSRP reporting and triggering mechanisms are disclosed. The disclosed apparatuses and methods can configure a measurement object to include a cross-link sounding reference signal (SRS) resource or a cross-link received signal strength indicator (RSSI) resource. A level of cross-link interference (CLI) between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE based is determined, at least in part, on the configured measurement object. Then, in response to occurrence of a predetermined event, a report is generated that includes the level of CLI. The measurement object is configured to include a resource configuration parameters for a cross-link interference received signal strength indicator (CLI-RSSI) measurement and sounding reference signal (SRS) resource configurations for a cross-link SRS reference signal received power (SRS-RSRP) measurement. One of the first or second UEs can transmit the report.

    Abstract: A serial data receiver circuit included in a computer system may include a front-end circuit, a sample circuit that includes multiple analog-to-digital converter circuits, and a recovery circuit. The sample circuit may sample a serial data stream at different times that correspond to even-numbered and odd-numbered symbols in the serial data stream. The recovery circuit may use different coefficients to process the respective samples of the even-numbered and odd-numbered symbols in order to recover the data symbols encoded in the serial data stream.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a power converter circuit included in a computer system magnetizes and de-magnetizes an inductor coupled to a switch node using high-side and low-side switches to alternatively couple a switch node to an input power supply node and a ground supply node. In response to detecting a drop in the voltage level of the input power supply node, the power converter circuit may adjust an on-resistance of the high-side switch to maintain performance at the lower voltage level of the input power supply node.

    Abstract: Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery including a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal accessible along a first surface of the battery. The battery may define a recessed portion of the battery along the first surface of the battery between the first electrode terminal and the second electrode terminal. The battery systems may include a module electrically coupled with the battery. The module may include a circuit board. The module may include a first conductive tab extending from a second surface of the circuit board opposite the first surface of the circuit board. The first conductive tab may be electrically coupling the module with the first electrode terminal. The module may include a second conductive tab extending from the second surface of the circuit board. The second conductive tab may be electrically coupling the module with the second electrode terminal.

    Abstract: In some examples, a method comprises determining, at an electronic device having a first component of a first component type, a unique identifier associated with the first component. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the unique identifier does not match the expected identifier of the component of the first component type in the electronic device, determining that the first component associated with the unique identifier satisfies one or more eligibility criteria. In some examples, in accordance with the determination that the first component associated with the unique identifier satisfies the one or more eligibility criteria, authenticating an association of the first component with the electronic device, including updating an installation counter associated with the first component, and updating the expected identifier for the component of the first type based on the unique identifier of the first component.
