    Abstract: A method of using a first device to locate a second device is disclosed. The first device, while in a first mode, transmits a first signal and receives a second signal comprising a reflection of the first signal by the second device. The first device determines, based on the received second signal, a position of the second device relative to the first device. The first device transitions to a second mode, and while in the second mode, receives a third signal from the second device. The first device determines, based on the third signal, an orientation of the second device relative to the first device. The first device comprises one or more receiving antennas, and the second device comprises one or more transmitting antennas. The third signal corresponds to a transmitting antenna of the second device.

    Abstract: A system and method for operating a depth sensor. A configuration operation can be performed by storing a first sequence of operation steps which define a first depth sensing mode of operation, and a second sequence of operation steps which define a second depth sensing mode of operation, in the memory. In response to a first request for depth measurements according to the first depth sensing mode of operation, the depth sensor can be operated in the first mode of operation by causing it to execute the first sequence of operation steps. In response to a second request for depth measurements according to the second depth sensing mode of operation, and without performing an additional configuration operation, the depth sensor can be operated in the second mode of operation by causing it to execute the second sequence of operation steps.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for operating a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. The TOF may be operated in a low power mode by repeatedly performing a low power mode sequence, which may include performing a depth frame by emitting light pulses, detecting reflected light pulses, and computing a depth map based on the detected reflected light pulses. Performing the low power mode sequence may also include performing an amplitude frame at least one time by emitting a light pulse, detecting a reflected light pulse, and computing an amplitude map based on the detected reflected light pulse. In response to determining that an activation condition is satisfied, the TOF may be switched to operate in a high accuracy mode by repeatedly performing a high accuracy mode sequence, which may include performing the depth frame multiple times .

    Abstract: A system includes a computing device operatively coupled to one or more user interface components, and a thermal cooling system for cooling the computing device. The system further includes a proximity sensor positioned adjacent a thermal vent and configured to set a proximity flag in response to detecting an object in proximity to the thermal vent. The system further includes an orientation sensor coupled to the computing device and configured to set an orientation flag in response to detecting an orientation of the computing device being such that the thermal vent is facing downward. The system further includes a processor communicatively coupled to the proximity sensor, the orientation sensor, and the one or more user interface components. The processor is configured to provide an alert for output through the one or more user interface components in response to having the proximity flag set or the orientation flag set.
