Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for estimating time outdoors and in daylight based on ambient light, motion, and location sensing. In some embodiments, a method comprises detecting daylight based on an ambient light measurement, an estimated sun elevation angle and at least one confidence threshold; determining a motion or activity state of a user based on motion sensor data; determining an indoor or outdoor class based on the motion sensor data and the ambient light detections; determining user exposure time to daylight between, before or after ambient light detections, based on the motion or activity state, and the determined indoor or outdoor class; and storing or displaying the daylight time.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include a display frame, an optical component disposed within the display frame, a facial interface, and a rigid bumper connected to the display frame. The rigid bumper can be positioned between the display frame and the facial interface and can further define a gap between the optical component and the facial interface. The facial interface can also include a cushion layer that can be rated for applied loads in a first force range. Furthermore, a stop can be connected to the head-mountable display, wherein the stop can be rated for applied loads within a second force range that is higher than the first force range. The facial interface can further include a front surface facing toward the head-mountable display and a rear surface that can contact a face. A set of structural posts can also be attached to the head-mountable display and positioned adjacent to a forehead region and a maxilla region of a face, wherein a portion of each structural post of the set of structural posts can be embedded in the facial interface.

Abstract: An enclosure component, such as a display cover, which produces an optical effect is disclosed. In some cases, the optical effect provides a depth effect, such as the depth effect produced by a bevel. Electronic device enclosures and electronic devices that include the enclosure components are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are electronic devices that include an array of light emitting diodes and photosensors formed in a single semiconductor chip. The light emitting diodes may be structured as vertical exterior cavity surface-emitting laser diodes (VECSELs). The photosensors may be formed as resonant cavity photosensors (RCPDs). The VECSELs and the RCPDs of the array may be formed in a common set of semiconductor layers of the single semiconductor chip and separated by isolation regions formed in the common set of semiconductor layers. Also disclosed are dual chip transmitter-receiver systems including a first semiconductor chip having an array of both VECSELs and RCPDs formed in common set of semiconductor layers, and a second semiconductor chip electrically connected to the first semiconductor chip and including control circuitry to enable laser emission from the VECSELs and light reception by the RCPDs.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a housing and relative humidity sensor in the housing. The relative humidity sensor may include an optical layer, a relative humidity-sensitive layer coupled to a surface of the optical layer, a light emitter that emits light into the optical layer, and a light detector that detects light that has reflected within the optical layer and off of the relative humidity-sensitive layer. The relative humidity may be determined based on the light detected by the light detector. The optical layer may be a layer with angled edges, a prism, a Bragg reflector, or a waveguide. A reference light detector and/or a temperature sensor may be included in the relative humidity sensor, and measurements from these additional sensors may be used in determining the relative humidity. In this way, an optical relative humidity sensor may be formed in the electronic device.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device may include a display and a housing. The housing may include a chassis defining a first portion of a rear exterior surface of the wearable electronic device, a first portion of a side exterior surface of the wearable electronic device, and an internal wall. The housing may also include a glass shell defining a front wall positioned over the display and defining a front exterior surface of the wearable electronic device and a side wall extending from the front wall and overlapping the internal wall, the side wall defining a second portion of the side exterior surface of the wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device may also include a touch sensing system within the housing and configured to detect a touch input applied to the front exterior surface of the wearable electronic device.

Abstract: Beam determination refers to a set of procedures for an access node (AN) and a user equipment (UE) to select from among downlink communication beams and/or uplink communication beams for downlink and/or uplink communications, respectively. Often times, the downlink communication beams can include one or more downlink control channels, for example, a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and/or a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), to provide downlink reference signals, such as channel-state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), to the UE. The AN can execute various exemplary downlink beam scheduling procedures to control the transmission of the downlink reference signals, such as the CSI-RSs to provide an example, over the downlink communication beams. In some embodiments, the UE can utilize the CSI-RSs to perform beamforming failure detection (BFD) and beamforming failure recovery (BFR) in the wireless networks.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors for a synchronization signal block (SSB) to synchronize with a cell of a network. The UE monitors a frequency band during a discovery reference signal (DRS) window for a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a cell of the network, determines an SSB index based on information received from the cell of the network and synchronizes with the cell based on the SSB index.
