Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory system may include at least two types of DRAM, which differ in at least one characteristic. For example, one DRAM type may be a high density DRAM, while another DRAM type may have lower density but may also have lower latency and higher bandwidth than the first DRAM type. DRAM of the first type may be on one or more first integrated circuits and DRAM of the second type may be on one or more second integrated circuits. In an embodiment, the first and second integrated circuits may be coupled together in a stack. The second integrated circuit may include a physical layer circuit to couple to other circuitry (e.g., an integrated circuit having a memory controller, such as a system on a chip (SOC)), and the physical layer circuit may be shared by the DRAM in the first integrated circuits.

Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display having display pixels and pixel drive circuitry that selects an analog voltage for the display pixels based on a first gray-to-voltage mapping and display image data that is based on compensated image data. The electronic display may also include image processing circuitry that receives input image data in a gray level domain, converts the input image data to a voltage domain based on a second gray-to-voltage mapping different from the first, and applies voltage compensations to voltage levels of the input image data in the voltage domain to generate compensated voltage data. The image processing circuitry may also convert the compensated voltage data from the voltage domain to the gray level domain to generate the compensated image data based on a voltage-to-gray mapping that is the inverse of the first gray-to-voltage mapping.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to enrolling a biometric feature for use with a peripheral device. While a computer system is connected to an external device, the computer system receives a first request to enroll a biometric feature. In response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the request satisfies a first set of one or more criteria, the computer system displays a user interface object prompting a user to provide an authorization input to one or more input devices physically connected to the computer system. While displaying the first user interface object, the computer system receives user input. In response to receiving the user input and in accordance with a determination that the user input includes the authentication input, the computer system initiates a process to enroll the biometric feature using a biometric sensor that is integrated with the external device.

Abstract: A method includes displaying, on a display, first content and a representation of second content associated with the first content. The method includes detecting, via one or more input devices, a user input at a location of the representation of the second content. The method includes, in response to detecting the user input at the location of the representation of the second content, in accordance with a determination that the user input includes a stylus contact, displaying, on the display, a drawing user interface including the second content and a toolbar region with a plurality of drawing tool selection affordances. The method includes, in response to detecting the user input at the location of the representation of the second content, in accordance with a determination that the user input does not include a stylus contact, forgoing display of the drawing user interface.

Abstract: A method for performing multi-touch (MT) data fusion is disclosed in which multiple touch inputs occurring at about the same time are received to generating first touch data. Secondary sense data can then be combined with the first touch data to perform operations on an electronic device. The first touch data and the secondary sense data can be time-aligned and interpreted in a time-coherent manner. The first touch data can be refined in accordance with the secondary sense data, or alternatively, the secondary sense data can be interpreted in accordance with the first touch data. Additionally, the first touch data and the secondary sense data can be combined to create a new command.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes: obtaining uncorrected hand tracking data; obtaining a depth map associated with a physical environment; identifying a position of a portion of the finger within the physical environment based on the depth map and the uncorrected hand tracking data; performing spatial depth smoothing on a region of the depth map adjacent to the position of the portion of the finger; and generating corrected hand tracking data by performing point of view (POV) correction on the uncorrected hand tracking data based on the spatially depth smoothed region of the depth map adjacent to the portion of the finger.
