Delivery of push notifications to an inactive computing device

Abstract: A method performed by a notification handler process running on a device includes receiving a first push notification for a first application while the recipient device is inactive; determining that delivery of the first push notification would cause the device to become active without prompting a user of the device to interact with the first application; in response to determining what delivery of the first push modification would cause, locally storing the first push notification; receiving a second push notification for a second application while the recipient device is still inactive; determining that delivery of the second push notification would cause the device to become active prompting the user to interact with the second application; and in response to determining what delivery of the second push modification would cause, delivering the received second push notification to the second application and the stored first push notification to the first application.

Electronic Devices With Low Refresh Rate Display Pixels

Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels operating at a low refresh rate. Each display pixel may have six thin-film transistors and one capacitor. One of the six transistors may serve as the drive transistor and may be compensated using the remaining five transistors and the capacitor. One or more on-bias stress operations may be applied before threshold voltage sampling to mitigate first frame dimming. Multiple anode reset and on-bias stress operations may be inserted during vertical blanking periods to reduce flicker and maintain balance and may also be inserted between successive data refreshes to improve first frame performance. Two different emission signals controlling each pixel may be toggled together using a pulse width modulation scheme to help provide darker black levels.

Ultra-Dense Networks in 5G: Interference Management via Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access and Treating Interference as Noise

Abstract: We propose a method for interference mitigation in an ultra-dense wireless network scenario in 5G, where a group of transmit points (TPs) intend to serve multiple user equipments (UEs) using the same wireless resource The proposed UE scheduling subroutine may schedule a single UE or multiple UEs for each TP, where multiple UEs can be served via non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA) Afterwards, the link scheduling subroutine utilizes an extended form of the optimality conditions for treating interference as noise in single-user networks for the case where NOMA is also involved This subroutine determines an activation/deactivation pattern of TPs while maintaining fairness among competing users and minimizing the level of interference among concurrent transmissions We show that our proposed interference management scheme can improve over the benchmark schemes both in terms of sum-throughput and coverage, striking the right trade-off between these two performance metrics

Enhanced glass impact durability through application of thin films

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for characteristics of glass components through use of one or more coatings are disclosed. The coatings are typically thin coatings, such as thin film coatings. The coatings can serve to increase strength of the glass components and/or provide durable user interfacing surfaces. Accordingly, glass articles that have received coatings are able to be not only thin but also sufficiently strong so as to resist damage from impact events. The coated glass articles are well suited for use in consumer products, such as consumer electronic devices (e.g., electronic devices).

Graph data visualization tool

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods where a time-stamped graphical parameter is displayed in one portion of a display window with a period of relevance highlighted and textual log entries from one or more of various selected logs corresponding to the highlighted time period are displayed in a second portion of the display window. In one embodiment of the invention, the period of relevance on the graph may be manipulated by using GUI controls. As the period of relevance on the graph is changed, the displayed textual log entries are updated to reflect those entries within the current period of relevance.
