Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with sidewalls and a conductive plate. A segment of the sidewalls may form a radiating arm of an antenna. A display may be mounted to the sidewalls. The display may include a conductive frame and a flexible printed circuit. The flexible circuit may have a bend. Conductive foam may short a conductive trace on the flexible circuit to the conductive frame near the bend. Low injection pressure overmolding (LIPO) may be molded over the flexible circuit, the foam, and the frame. A conductive spring may short the frame to the conductive plate. The spring may include a wider and/or thinner portion that optionally includes one or more notches for reducing its inductance. The conductive plate, the spring, the frame, the foam, and the conductive trace may form part of the antenna ground for the antenna.

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: The disclosed technology relates to battery packs having battery cells of different designs or capacities with an imbalance in the charging and/or discharging current supplied to and provided by each jelly roll due to differences in capacity specific impedance between the battery cells of a battery pack. The battery pack includes at least a first and second battery cell connected in parallel, with a thickness of an active layer and/or current collector of a battery cell having an altered thickness to reduce an impedance of the battery cell.

Abstract: A target decoder may receive a bitstream including an audio frame in a target format associated with a target encoder and a metadata frame associated with the audio frame. The audio frame may be transcoded from an earlier audio frame. The metadata frame may be converted from an earlier metadata frame associated with the earlier audio frame. The target decoder may decode audio data from the audio frame and metadata from the metadata frame.

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.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described that may mitigate display pixel and touch crosstalk noise. A touch processing system may compensate touch scan data to reduce the noise based on a luminance value. An image processing system may determine the luminance value based on image data and a display brightness value of an electronic display. Using the compensated touch scan data, the touch processing system may determine a proximity of a capacitive object to at least one touch sense region of the electronic display.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that adjust image content to reduce motion sickness during an experience. For example, an example process may include determining a first zone and a second zone of a display, generating images of a three-dimensional (3D) environment, identifying image content of each of the images corresponding to the second zone of the display, and reducing at least one of contrast or spatial frequency of the image content of each of the images corresponding to the second zone of the display.
