Abstract: A power delivery sub-system included in a computer system employs a primary voltage regulator circuit that generates a primary supply voltage on a primary power supply node. The power delivery sub-system also includes multiple bypass voltage regulator circuits that source corresponding bypass currents to a local power supply nodes in an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes multiple circuit blocks coupled to corresponding ones of the local power supply nodes, and multiple local voltage regulator circuits coupled to the primary power supply node. When a voltage level of a given local power supply node drops below a threshold value, a corresponding local voltage regulator circuit sources a supply current to the given local power supply node.

Abstract: An electronic device, with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors and memory, displays a first representation of a first controllable external device, where the first controllable external device is situated at a location. The device detects a first user input corresponding to a selection of the first representation of the first controllable external device. The device, after detecting the first user input, adds data identifying the first controllable external device and a first state of the first controllable external device in a scene profile.

Abstract: An optical proximity sensor includes a first vertical cavity surface-emitting laser configured for self-mixing interferometry to determine distance to and/or velocity of an object. The optical proximity sensor also includes a second vertical cavity surface-emitting laser configured for self-mixing interferometry to determine whether any variation in a fixed distance has occurred. The optical proximity sensor leverages output from the second vertical cavity surface-emitting laser to calibrate output from the second vertical cavity surface-emitting laser to eliminate and/or mitigate environmental effects, such as temperature changes.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform methods for configuring a power savings signal in fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) networks. The wireless device may transmit, to a base station within a network, power savings requirements and receiving, from the base station, a configuration of a power saving signal, where the configuration indicates one or more functionalities of the power saving signal. The wireless device may periodically receive, from the base station, the power saving signal and interpret the power saving signal based on the configuration. The configuration of the power saving signal may be received via radio resource control signaling.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for authenticating a mobile device with a cellular wireless network without electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) credentials by using an Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) procedure. The mobile device authenticates with an Authentication Server Function (AUSF) of the cellular wireless network using an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) certificate. Processing circuitry of the mobile wireless device external to the eUICC implements the EAP-TLS procedure and authenticates validity of the AUSF. In some embodiments, the eUICC provides key generation and storage for a session key for communication between the mobile device and the cellular wireless network. In some embodiments, a third-party managed Unified Data Management (UDM) broker authenticates the mobile device based on knowledge of the eUICC certificate and provides a session key to the cellular wireless network for subsequent communication with the mobile device, upon successful authentication of the mobile device.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that dynamically apply a 3D effect to a 2D asset. For example, a process may obtain an image depicting two-dimensional (2D) content. The process may further determine to apply a three-dimensional (3D) effect to the image via a head mounted device (HMD). The process may further, in accordance with determining to apply the 3D effect to the image, present a view of a 3D environment including the image. The image may be positioned at a location within the 3D environment and the view may depict the image using the 3D effect.

Abstract: In some implementations, the disclosed techniques may include tuning a first antenna element to a first tuning state during an acquisition mode for establishing communication channels with satellites. The first tuning state can configure the first antenna element to receive signals in a first frequency range. The techniques may include establishing the communication channels using the first antenna element in the first tuning state during the acquisition mode. The techniques may include transitioning from the acquisition mode to a tracking mode. The techniques may include changing the tuning state of the first antenna element. The techniques may include determining a location of the mobile device during the tracking mode: (1) using the first antenna element and a second antenna element of the mobile device or (2) not using the first antenna element and using the second antenna element that is configured to receive signals in a second frequency range.
