    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for a wearable device with power state control. In one instance, the device a functional module to operate in a first power state or in a second power state that is different from the first power state; a power source coupled with the functional module to provide operational power to the functional module; and a power state control module coupled with the functional module, to cause the functional module to transition from the first power state to the second power state in response to an input. The power state control module may comprise a power generating device to generate power responsive to the input, independent of the power source, and in response to the generated power, cause the functional module to transition from the first power state to the second power state. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to monitoring a dining session using smart smallwares. A smart smallware may sense usage or non-usage associated with a dining session of a customer. Based on the sensed non-usage of the smart smallware, the smart smallware may detect a period of inactivity. In response to the detected period of inactivity, the smart smallware may transmit an indication of the detected period of inactivity. This transmitted indication may cause an external monitoring device to notify a waitperson that a customer associated with that smart smallware may require attention. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and systems to stress-program a first integrated circuit (IC) block to output a pre-determined value upon activation/reset, such as to support time-zero compensation/trimming. To program, the first block is configured with first-block program parameters to cause the first block to output a pre-determined value. The first block is stressed while configured with the first-block program parameters, to cause the first block to output the pre-determined value without the first-block program parameters. The first block may include a latch designed as a fully balance circuit and may be asymmetrically stressed to alter a characteristic of one path relative to another. The pre-determined value may be selected to compensate for process corner variations and/or other random variations.
