    Abstract: Circuit boards are provided that include a functional portion and at least one removable test point portion. The removable test point portion may include test points which are accessed to verify whether the functional portion is operating properly or whether installed electronic components are electrically coupled to the board. If multiple boards are manufactured together on a single panel (in which the individual boards are broken off), the test points can be placed on bridges (e.g., removable portions) that connect the individual boards together during manufacturing and testing. Configurable test boards are also provided that can be adjusted to accommodate circuit boards of different size and electrical testing requirements. Methods and systems for testing these circuit boards are also provided.

    Abstract translation: 提供了包括功能部分和至少一个可拆卸测试点部分的电路板。 可拆卸测试点部分可以包括被访问以验证功能部分是否正常操作或者是否安装的电子部件电耦合到板的测试点。 如果在单个面板(其中单独的电路板被断开)中一起制造多个电路板,则测试点可以放置在在制造和测试期间将各个电路板连接在一起的桥接器(例如,可拆卸部分)上。 还提供了可配置的测试板,可以调整以适应不同尺寸和电气测试要求的电路板。 还提供了用于测试这些电路板的方法和系统。

    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for allowing the sharing of one or more system resources between multiple devices. In one embodiment, a requesting device transmits a resource access request to a target device using a near-field communication (NFC) protocol. The target device responds by using the NFC connection to return a listing of resources available for sharing to the requesting device. The requesting device may select one or more of the available resources and establish an appropriate connection to access the selected resource or resources. In one embodiment, the requesting device may lack external network connectivity capabilities while the target device includes wi-fi connectivity as a shared resource. Accordingly, the requesting device may access external network of the target device via the target as a conduit.

    Abstract translation: 公开了用于允许在多个设备之间共享一个或多个系统资源的方法和系统。 在一个实施例中,请求设备使用近场通信(NFC)协议向目标设备发送资源访问请求。 目标设备通过使用NFC连接来响应可用于共享的资源列表到请求设备。 请求设备可以选择一个或多个可用资源并建立适当的连接以访问所选择的资源或资源。 在一个实施例中,请求设备可能缺少外部网络连接能力,而目标设备包括作为共享资源的Wi-Fi连接。 因此,请求设备可以经由目标作为导管访问目标设备的外部网络。

    Abstract: Various techniques are provided for carrying out peer-to-peer financial transactions using one or more electronic devices. In one embodiment, a request for payment is transmitted from a first device to a second device using a near field communication (NFC) interface. In response to the request, the second device may transmit payment information to the first device. The first device may select a crediting account and, using a suitable communication protocol, may communicate the received payment information and selected crediting account to one or more external financial servers configured to process and determine whether the payment may be authorized. If the payment is authorized, a payment may be credited to the selected crediting account. In a further embodiment, a device may include a camera configured to obtain an image of a payment instrument. The device may further include an application to extract payment information from the acquired image.

    Abstract translation: 提供了各种用于使用一个或多个电子设备进行对等金融交易的技术。 在一个实施例中,使用近场通信(NFC)接口从第一设备向第二设备发送支付请求。 响应于该请求,第二设备可以向第一设备发送支付信息。 第一设备可以选择记账账户,并且使用合适的通信协议可以将所接收的支付信息和所选贷方账户传送到配置成处理和确定支付是否被授权的一个或多个外部金融服务器。 如果付款被授权,则可以向所选择的记账帐户记入付款。 在另一实施例中,设备可以包括被配置为获得付款工具的图像的照相机。 该设备还可以包括从所获取的图像中提取支付信息的应用。

    Abstract: An electronic device may have gaze detection capabilities that allow the device to detect when a user is looking at the device. The electronic device may implement a power management scheme using the results of gaze detection operations. When the device detects that the user has looked away from the device, the device may dim a display screen and may perform other suitable actions. The device may pause a video playback operation when the device detects that the user has looked away from the device. The device may resume the video playback operation when the device detects that the user is looking towards the device. Gaze detector circuitry may be powered down when sensor data indicates that gazed detection readings will not be reliable or are not needed.
