    Abstract: A device may include a tip tilt camera module and a dynamic flexible printed circuit structure. The camera module as a whole may tilt around one or more axes. Within the camera module, the camera module may include one or more lenses and an image sensor, whereby the relative position between the lenses and image sensor may be adjustable. The printed circuit structure may provide an electrical connection between the camera module and one or more other components of the device outside the camera module. The printed circuit structure may include one or more flexible portions, at least one portion of which may be placed in torsion during rotation of the camera module.

    Abstract: A method includes, at a computer system with a display, a housing, and an attachment mechanism, detecting attachment of an accessory to the computer system, where the accessory, while attached, has a predetermined orientation relative to the attachment mechanism, and in response to detecting the attachment of the accessory to the computer system in accordance with a determination that the accessory is a first accessory with first physical dimensions, displaying, on the display, a first visual indication that the accessory has been attached to the computer system, wherein the first visual indication indicates at least one property of the first physical dimensions, and in accordance with a determination that the accessory is a second accessory with second physical dimensions that are different from the first physical dimensions, displaying, on the display a second visual indication that the accessory has been attached to the computer system, wherein the second visual indication indicates at least one property of the second physical dimensions and the second visual indication is different from the first visual indication.

    Abstract: A repeater configured to receive, on a side control channel from a component of a network, side control information including parameters at least for determining time domain resources on which to apply an indicated beam for uplink (UL) transmission reception or downlink (DL) transmission forwarding with a user equipment (UE) on an access link, determine, from the received parameters, whether to apply the indicated beam to a transmission (Tx) spatial filter, a reception (Rx) spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters and apply the indicated beam to the determined Tx spatial filter, Rx spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters for the determined time domain resources when forwarding the DL transmission to the UE or receiving the UL transmission from the UE for forwarding to the network.
