    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for wireless communication between electronic devices in a wireless network, such as a mesh wireless network. For example, a first electronic device may include processing circuitry that is configured to cause a transceiver of the first electronic device to transmit to a second electronic device in a wireless network an indication of time slots. The processing circuitry may cause at least a portion of the transceiver to enter a low power state during one or more times outside the time slots and cause the transceiver to exit the low power state to transmit or receive wireless signals during the time slots.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have wireless circuitry that includes a differential signal path having first and second signal lines. A pi attenuator may be disposed on the differential signal path. The pi attenuator may include a first series resistor on the first signal line, a second series resistor on the second signal line, and parallel resistors coupled between the first and second signal lines on opposing sides of the series resistors. A first capacitor may couple an input terminal of the first series resistor to an output terminal of the second series resistor and a second capacitor may couple an output terminal of the first series resistor to an input terminal of the second series resistor. The capacitors may serve to minimize phase variation as a function of attenuation level in attenuated signals output by the pi attenuator.

    Abstract: To reduce loss in a matching network without crowding the matching network transformer, a harmonic rejection inductor may be removed from the center of the transformer and an existing secondary coil (e.g., secondary inductor) of the transformer may be reused as the harmonic rejection inductor. The secondary coil may be reused as the harmonic rejection inductor by coupling a harmonic rejection capacitor directly to windings of the secondary coil, which may enable the portion of the secondary coil between the harmonic rejection capacitor tap point and ground to function as the harmonic rejection inductor.

    Abstract: A storage apparatus includes an interface and storage circuitry. The interface is configured to communicate with a plurality of memory cells organized in multiple memory blocks. The storage circuitry is configured to produce a given readout by reading data from a group of the memory cells in a given memory block, using a given read voltage, to calculate a given zeros-ones imbalance level of the given readout, based on the given zeros-ones imbalance level, to check whether the given readout level is zeros-ones balanced or unbalanced in accordance with a balance criterion, and upon detecting that the given readout is zeros-ones unbalanced, mark the given memory block as suspected of being unusable.

    Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to receive, by a system process and from an application process, a visibility preference for an object type and segment one or more physical objects associated with the object type from an image of a physical environment. The processor is also configured to determine, by the system process, whether to display the one or more segmented physical objects based at least in part on the visibility preference. In response to a determination display the one or more segmented physical objects, the processor is configured to display at least a portion of the image corresponding to the one or more segmented physical objects. In response to a determination not to display the one or more segmented physical objects, the processor is configured to forgo displaying that at least a portion of the image corresponding to the one or more segmented physical objects.

    Abstract: A device for determining a heart rate of a user has a PPG sensor and an accelerometer to compensate for acceleration artifacts within the PPG signal. The device transforms time domain PPG and accelerometer signals into the frequency domain using a Fourier transformation and utilizes the Fourier coefficient magnitudes as indicative of the probability of candidate heart rate values. Candidate heart rate values are determined at sampling times over a time interval and a most probable heart rate path during the time interval is determined using a reward/penalty algorithm.
