Abstract: configurations for a photonics assembly design and methods for mitigating coherent noise thereof are disclosed. the photonics assembly may include a set of light sources, an optical subsystem that may include a set of optical elements, and a diffusing element. the light emitted by the set of light sources may be different wavelengths and the light may be de-cohered by a phase shifter before being received by the set of optical elements. the diffusing element may be moveable and may be capable of repeating the same positions or set of positions for each beam of light emitted by the set of light sources. by combining the coherent noise mitigation techniques of the moveable diffusing element and the de-cohered light, the photonics system may provide an illumination profile with a specific spatial profile and angular profile on the sample that allows reliable measurement of the sample and coherent noise mitigation.

CPC Code(s): G01J1/46
Abstract: an electronic device may have a sensor to measure ambient flicker. the sensor may be a sigma-delta converter. the flicker may be calculated based on the voltage output of the sigma-delta converter and the number of times the sigma-delta converter is triggered during a predetermined period, thereby reducing the voltage output. in particular, a fast fourier transform (fft) may be used on these values to determine the flicker. if desired, filtering and/or non-uniform sampling may be incorporated to avoid aliasing. additionally or alternatively, a lomb-scargle spectral analysis may be used to prevent the attenuation of the measured flicker signals. as an alternative to using a sigma-delta converter to determine ambient flicker, a folding capacitive transimpedance amplifier (c-tia) circuit or a circuit with an analog to digital converter and digital filter may be used to measure the ambient flicker.

Abstract: a user equipment (ue) includes a set of one or more transceivers and a processor. the processor is configured to determine, at least partly from a transmission control indicator (tci) state for multiple channels, that common physical downlink shared channels (pdschs) do not share a beam with dedicated pdschs. the processor is also configured to determine a physical downlink control channel (pdcch)/pdsch scheduling offset is below a threshold; select, at least partly based on the determination that common pdschs do not share a beam with dedicated pdschs and the determination the pdcch/pdsch scheduling offset is below the threshold, a beam for which to buffer pdsch; and buffer pdsch received on the beam.

Abstract: apparatuses, systems, and methods for non-small data transmission (non-sdt) dedicated radio bearer (drb) handling while in a radio resource control (rrc) inactive state. a wireless device may determine, while operating in the rrc inactive state, that non-sdt data is available for transmission on a non-sdt drb and determine, based on one or more conditions, to transmit, to a base station, non-sdt data arrival information during an sdt procedure. the one or more conditions may be associated with arrival time of the non-sdt data and/or an amount of non-sdt data to be transmitted. the arrival time may be relative to arrival of sdt data, initiation of an sdt procedure, and/or initiation of a subsequent transmission period of an sdt procedure.

Abstract: apparatuses, systems, and methods for mitigation of listen before talk conflicts in the unlicensed spectrum. a wireless device may receive one or more synchronization signal blocks (ssbs) from a base station (bs) as part of a measurement procedure with listen before talk (lbt). the wireless device may determine one or more lbt failures associated with one or more receive beams of the wireless device. furthermore, in response to determining the one or more lbt failures associated with the one or more receive beams of the wireless device, the wireless device may extend a measurement period for the one or more receive beams of the wireless device. the wireless device may then receive one or more additional ssbs on the one or more receive beams of the wireless device.

Abstract: systems and methods of providing rat co-existence and congestion control in v2v communications are generally described. a vue detects specific non-lte rat transmissions in a listening period of a pscch or pssch, determines whether a metric has been met and reselects to a non-overloaded channel to communicate with other vues or the enb. the manner of reselection is dependent on the rat specific or v2x service priorities of the channels, as well as whether the channels are v2v service dependent.

Abstract: the present disclosure describes a structure with a substrate, a damping structure, and a capacitor structure. the damping structure is disposed over the substrate and includes a rigid material layer and a damping material layer disposed on the rigid material layer. the damping material layer includes a damping material with a tensile strength of about 20 mpa, a young's modulus of about 0.5 gpa, and an elongation of about 10%. the capacitor structure is disposed over the damping structure, in which the damping structure mitigates (or eliminates) a transfer of piezoelectric and electrostrictive vibrations generated by the capacitor structure to the substrate.

Abstract: ambient light sensor modules may be formed using a wafer-level process in which a filter and a diffuser are stacked on a silicon substrate or a combination substrate that includes multiple photosensors. the stack may be diced, filled with opaque material, and diced again to form multiple ambient light sensor modules. the resulting modules may include a silicon substrate with a photosensor and through-silicon vias, a filter on the silicon substrate, and a diffuser coupled to the filter. there may be an air gap between a portion of the diffuser and the photosensor. the air gap may be formed from a recess in the diffuser or from spacers between the filter and the diffuser. alternatively, the diffuser may be applied as a coating on the filter. by forming the ambient light sensor modules at the wafer level, the modules may have smaller footprints and/or volumes.
