    Abstract: An apparatus configured to initiate a voice call to a target device, generate, for transmission to a first server, a request for a video call link upon a determination that a trigger event has occurred, process, based on signaling received from the first server, a video call link, generate, for transmission to a base station, a message comprising the video call link to be forwarded to the target device and establish a video session with the target device using the video call link while still maintaining the voice call with the target device.

    Abstract: A phase shifter circuit may include a multiple phase shifter cells (or cells) to selectively shift a phase of an input signal by a desired phase shift value. For example, each of the phase shifter cells may shift the phase of the input signal by a positive fractional phase shift value or a negative fractional phase shift value. The phase shifter cells may include circuitry to form an inductor-capacitor circuit to provide the negative fractional phase shift value and form a capacitor-inductor circuit to provide the positive fractional phase shift value. The phase shifter cells may receive control signals to form the inductor-capacitor circuit and the capacitor-inductor circuit. An electronic device may include multiple phase shifter circuits to adjust a phase of transmission signals and/or reception signals of phased array antennas.

    Abstract: Phase reassignment among power converters is disclosed. Multi-phase power converters of a plurality are arranged such that the various phases of each can be shared. When a given power converter has a high demand current and a phase of another power converter in the same group is currently unused, that phase may be borrowed by the given power converter to meet the demand current. The power converter that borrows a phase from another power converter is designated as the leader, while the borrowed phase is designated as a follower. The regulated supply voltage is determined by the leader power converter, irrespective of the regulated output voltage to be generated by the power converter from which another phase is borrowed.

    Abstract: A battery pre-lithiation assembly includes an anode having first holes and a cathode having second holes. The first holes and the second holes are configured to enable an electrolyte to pass therethrough. Further, the first holes and the second holes are configured to enable movement of Li+ ions associated with the lithium metal during a pre-lithiation process. The lithium metal may be coated on the anode (e.g., on active material of the anode), or the lithium metal may correspond to at least one lithium metal electrode, such as first and second lithium metal electrodes disposed on opposing sides of an electrode stack (e.g., a jelly roll) including the anode, the cathode, and a separator.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a debugging system that includes an aggregation network and a distribution network. The aggregation network can include leaf nodes and a first root node coupled to the leaf nodes. The leaf nodes can collect error information about error events in a functional circuits and transmit the error information to the first root node. The distribution network can include a second root node coupled to the first root node. The second root node can receive the error information from the first root node and distribute the error information to responding functional circuits to perform an action based on the error information.
