Abstract: Embodiments may relate to group addressed frame delivery over multi-link systems. Systems and methods are configured for identifying, by an access point (AP) multilink device (MLD) in a wireless network, a first sequence number space (SNS) that is to be used by the AP MLD to transmit data to a non-AP MLD over a first communications link and a second communications link, wherein frames with identical data that are transmitted over the first and second communications links will have an identical first SN based on the first SNS; identifying, by the MLD in the wireless network, the first SN based on the first SNS; and transmitting, by the AP MLD in the wireless network, a frame that includes the data to the non-AP MLD based on the first SN.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform measurements on reference signals or synchronization signal. In an example, timing requirements for performing such measurements can be dynamically changed depending on, at least, a measurement on one of the reference signal or the synchronization signal.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device may be formed from a layer of fabric having opposing first and second ends. The ends may have first and second respective ear openings that receive a user's ears and may have speakers for playing audio. A soft central portion of the fabric between the ends may overlap the user's eyes. The wearable electronic device may have control circuitry that receives power from a power source. Sensors may be used to gather sensor information such as biometric sensor information. The sensors, control circuitry, and power source may be mounted in a stiff edge portion of the fabric. The stiff edge portion of the fabric may have an elongated strip shape and may extend along an upper edge of the central and the electronic device. Stiffener structures sandwiched between inner and outer layers of the fabric may be used to support speakers.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a nasal breathing monitoring system with a sensor (e.g., an ultrasonic transducer or microphone) to be placed on or near the outside of the user's nose and record a signal corresponding to the user's nasal breathing. The recorded breathing signal may be digitized and analyzed, e.g., based on its spectral characteristics, in order to determine one or more breathing characteristics of the user's breathing. The system may then adjust some system parameter based on the determined one or more breathing characteristics, e.g., a signal gain, a filter, feedback to the user, etc. The system may also use the one or more breathing characteristics to: recognize a particular user's identity, present a breathing exercise to a user, tailor particular user feedback, or compare the user's breathing characteristics to historical breathing data for the user and/or historical breathing data from other users obtained via an anonymized database.

Abstract: Sensors capable of detection of user objects within different detection zones can be used to reduce power consumption of a touch screen interface of an electronic device, even while the device is in a suspended or sleep state. At least one object sensor, such as a capacitive sensor, has a detection zone or range exceeding the range of a touch screen sensor, so the touch screen sensor can be placed into a low power state until the object sensor detects a user object in a position approaching the touch screen. The object sensor(s) are positioned around or within the perimeter of the interaction area of the touch screen. The object sensor(s) can have less power consumption than the touch screen sensors, so the electronic device can have extended standby battery life or other more energy efficient operation. Object sensors are also used to detect gestures or user object positioning.

Abstract: An electronic device having a display assembly is disclosed. Several layers may combine to form the display assembly. For example, the display assembly may include a touch sensitive layer (or touch detection layer), a display layer that present visual information, and a force sensitive layer (or force detection layer). The display layer may include a bend or curve that allows a portion of the display layer to bend around the force sensitive layer. Also, the connectors (that provide electrical and mechanical connections) may be positioned at different locations of the layers. For example, the display layer may include a connector on a first edge region, and the force sensitive layer may include a connector on a second edge region that is perpendicular, or at least substantially perpendicular, to the first edge region. By positioning the connectors on perpendicular edge regions, the display assembly may reduce its footprint.

Abstract: The head mountable electronic device can include a display frame and a securement arm extending from the display frame. The securement arm can include a proximal segment including a first contact feature, a distal segment including a second contact feature, the proximal segment disposed between the distal segment and the display frame, and a joint, the distal segment rotatably coupled to the proximal segment at the joint, wherein an interior side of the securement arm defines a interior radius of curvature and an exterior side of the securement arm opposite the interior side defines an exterior radius of curvature, the exterior radius of curvature being greater than the interior radius of curvature.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for SRS antenna switching. A UE may transmit, to a base station, a capability message indicating an antenna configuration associated with SRS antenna switching e.g., via as RRC signaling. The capability message may indicate at least one of (and/or one or more of) a one transmit point (1T) and six receive point (6R) SRS resource set configuration, a 1T8R SRS resource set configuration, a 2T6R SRS resource set configuration, a 2T8R SRS resource set configuration, and/or a 4T8R SRS resource set configuration. The UE may receive, from the base station, a configuration message, e.g., via RRC signaling. The configuration message may indicate an SRS antenna switching configuration based, at least in part, on the capability message. The UE may transmit, to the base station, one or more SRSs, e.g., according to the SRS antenna switching configuration.
