    Abstract: An electronic device in a wireless power system may be operable with a removable accessory such as a case. The device may convey wireless power to, from, or through the case while the device is coupled to the case. The device may have coplanar power transmitting and power receiving coils. The removable accessory may have an embedded switchable ferrimagnetic core and a coil that overlaps the switchable ferrimagnetic core. The switchable ferrimagnetic core may be operable in a first state where the switchable ferrimagnetic core is unsaturated. The switchable ferrimagnetic core may be operable in a second state where the switchable ferrimagnetic core is saturated by a magnetic field from a permanent magnet in a wireless power transmitting device. In the second state, the switchable ferrimagnetic core may have a lower magnetic permeability and higher magnetic reluctance than in the first state.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to distributing geometry work in a graphics processor. In some embodiments, multiple geometry pipelines are configured to process, in parallel, multiple segments of a set of geometry work. In some embodiments, control circuitry is configured to split operations from the set of graphics work into the multiple segments. This may include parsing a control stream for the set of graphics work to determine an initial work estimate based on numbers of primitives in different draw calls and adjusting the initial work estimate based on a complexity determination for the draw call.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor core that includes an instruction decode circuit and a control circuit. The instruction decode circuit is configured to decode instructions, including a plurality of store instructions used to store information in a memory hierarchy. The control circuit is configured, after a particular store instruction is decoded, to preserve store information related to the particular store instruction, including a first program counter value for the particular store instruction. In response to decoding a subsequent load instruction with a corresponding second program counter value, the control circuit is configured to determine, using the first and second program counter values, whether a dependency has been established between the subsequent load instruction and the particular store instruction. In response to a determination that the dependency has been established, the control circuit is configured to use the preserved store information to perform the subsequent load instruction.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces that include application widgets. In some embodiments, a computer system displays a home screen, where displaying the home screen includes displaying a set of user interface elements based on whether an account that was used to set up the computer system is associated with a first type of content. In some embodiments, a computer system displays a user interface in response to detecting a request to change the orientation of the user interface. Displaying the user interface includes displaying an arrangement of application widgets and application icons, where a set of application widgets has a same spatial organization as in a previous arrangement.

    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for head tracking state detection based on correlated motion of a source device and a headset communicatively coupled to the source device. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining, using one or more processors of a source device, source device motion data from a source device and headset motion data from a headset; determining, using the one or more processors, correlation measures using the source device motion data and the headset motion data; updating, using the one or more processors, a motion tracking state based on the determined correlation measures; and initiating head pose tracking in accordance with the updated motion tracking state.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for revocation and/or modification of user consent in Edge Computing (MEC). A user equipment device (UE) may determine that user consent needs to be updated. The user consent may be associated with MEC. Additionally, the UE may transmit, via an application layer of the UE, a user consent modification request to an edge application server of a network, e.g., of an edge data network. The user consent modification request may be carried in application data traffic. The user consent modification request may be indicated via an Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update service operation. The user consent modification request is indicated via an Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update service operation.
