    Abstract: Systems and methods provide solutions for provisioning vehicle-to-everything (V2X) policy and parameters to a user equipment (UE). A UE may generate a registration request to register with a wireless network. The registration request may include a first indication of a V2X policy provisioning request. The UE processes a message from a policy control function (PCF) including either a current V2X policy and corresponding parameters or a second indication that the PCF does not support V2X provisioning.

    Abstract: A number of unit cells of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) may be simultaneously activated to generate an analog signal. However, while each unit cell may be generally the same, there may be variations such as non-linearity or noise in the analog output depending on which unit cells are activated for a given digital signal value. For example, as additional unit cells are activated for increased values of the analog signal, the fill order in which the unit cells are activated may affect the linearity/noise of the DAC. The decision units may be programmable to select which branches of the fractal DAC to activate, changing the fill order based on a fill-selection signal. The fill order may be set by a fill controller via the fill-selection signal to account for manufacturing variations, gradients in the supply voltage, output line routing, and/or environmental factors such as temperature.

    Abstract: A head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. The optical assemblies may each have a display for generating an image and a lens that presents the image to a corresponding eye box for viewing by a user. The optical assemblies may have lens barrels. Each lens barrel may have a first end to which a display is mounted and may have an opposing second end. A mount may be used to attach the lens to the second end of the lens barrel. The mount may have at least one flexure. The flexure may have a U-shaped cross-sectional shape. The mount may have a ring-shaped flexure that extends around a peripheral edge of the lens, may have flexure segments, or may have a set of three discrete flexures located at different positions along the edge of the lens.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic device includes a display, including a first substrate, which is transparent to optical radiation at a given wavelength, and a first array of display cells including pixel circuit elements disposed on the first substrate at a first pitch, with gaps of a predefined size between the pixel circuit elements. An emitter array includes a second substrate, parallel and in proximity to the first substrate, and a second array of emitters, which are disposed on the second substrate at a second pitch that is different from the first pitch, and which are configured to emit optical radiation at the given wavelength toward the first substrate. Control circuitry is configured to identify the emitters that are aligned with the gaps between the pixel circuit elements and to selectively drive the identified emitters to emit the optical radiation through the gaps.

    Abstract: A thermal module may include a valve used to promote unidirectional flow. The valve may be formed from several flow barriers designed to provide minimal resistance to a refrigerant while flowing in one direction, but provide significant resistance to flow in the opposite direction. The thermal module may include a void. The refrigerant may flow or circulate in a loop around the void. Using the valve for unidirectional flow, a thermal module may provide enhanced thermal transport capabilities.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of providing channel occupancy time (COT) are described. After a gNB acquires an unlicensed channel for a COT, the gNB indicates the COT length to a UE using a PDCCH having a DCI formed in accordance with DCI format 2_0. The slot format of the last slot of the COT is indicated using a reserved slot format indicator that is reserved to indicate the end of the COT. The reserved slot format indicator indicates a last slot format of available slot formats of DCI format 2_0. Dummy bits fill the DCI after the reserved slot format indicator. Alternatively, to indicate the COT length, a COT field dedicated to providing the COT is used in the DCI or the CRC is masked using a slot format indication Radio Network Temporary Identifier.
