    Abstract: A wireless power transmitter can include wireless power transmitting circuitry having a wireless power transmitting coil that transmits wireless power signals and control circuitry coupled to the wireless power transmitting circuitry that: measures a present value of a first function and a second function of quality factor and resonant frequency of the wireless power transmitting coil; determines a change between the measured present values of the first and second functions of quality factor and resonant frequency of the wireless power transmitting coil and corresponding baseline values; determines whether a foreign object is present responsive to the change between the measured present values of the first and second functions of quality factor and resonant frequency and the corresponding baseline values in a magnetic state space exceeding a threshold.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a housing having sidewalls, a dielectric cover, and a conductive plate. A display may be mounted to the sidewalls opposite the dielectric cover. A logic board may be interposed between the display and the plate. The device may include a phased antenna array on a first module and an ultra-wideband (UWB) on a second module. The first and second modules may be surface-mounted to the main body of a flexible printed circuit between the plate and the dielectric cover. The UWB antenna and the array may convey radio-frequency signals through the dielectric cover. The flexible printed circuit may have a tail that carries the transmission lines for the UWB antenna and the array. The tail may be folded through a hole in the mid-chassis and coupled to a radio-frequency connector on the logic board.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include control circuitry that allows a user to listen to audio playing from an external speaker in the environment from the user's personal speaker device such as a pair of headphones, earbuds, or a personal loudspeaker. In response to receiving user input, the control circuitry may gather audio input from the environment with a microphone. The control circuitry may process the detected audio input to identify what audio track is currently playing from the external speaker and to determine which part of the audio track is currently playing. The control circuitry may then start playing the identified audio track from the user's personal speaker device in sync with the audio track playing from the external speaker. The electronic device may search music streaming platforms, public radio station information, and other public music content sources to anticipate and buffer upcoming songs.
