    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a connection to a base station, wherein the base station configures the UE with a first beam corresponding to a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second beam corresponding to a second TRP, wherein the first and second beam are in frequency range 2 (FR2) and wherein the UE does not support simultaneous reception of multiple beams in FR2, detect a beam failure during a beam failure detection (BFD) evaluation period, identify one or more candidate beams during a candidate beam detection (CBD) evaluation period and transmit a beam failure recovery (BFR) request to the base station.

    Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for coordinating notifications across computing devices placed onto a wireless charging apparatus. According to some embodiments, the technique can involve the wireless charging apparatus (1) receiving, from a first computing device, first information that includes (i) a first unique identifier (ID) associated with the first computing device, and (ii) one or more unique IDs that are each associated with a respective auxiliary computing device known to the first computing device. Subsequently, the wireless charging apparatus can receive, from a second computing device, second information that at least includes a second unique ID associated with the second computing device. Finally, the wireless charging apparatus can, in response to determining that the second unique ID is included in the one or more unique IDs, and cause both the first and second computing devices to display respective notifications in a coordinated manner.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing binary translation include a system that is capable of translating binaries written for use in a source execution environment to binaries compatible with a target execution environment. Consistent with some embodiments, a binary translation system includes a system service and a runtime code module that exists in an application memory address space. The binary translation system translates object-level binaries corresponding to executables, linkers, libraries, and the like and stores the translation in a translation cache that is cryptographically secured to ensure that only a system having a specific key is able to access the translations. If the application or application binary has been modified since the translation was performed, the system service will ensure that the translation is removed from the cache, a new translation is performed, and all threads accessing that translation are updated to the new translation.

    Abstract: A temperature sensor circuit is disclosed that uses multiple bipolar devices to generate a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current and a complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) current. A difference in the PTAT and CTAT current is evaluated using a feedback loop of an amplifier circuit which alternatively charges and discharges a capacitor to create a time-varying analog signal. A comparator circuit compares the analog signal to threshold values to generate an output digital signal whose duty cycle varies with temperature.
