A hybrid switched-type phase shifter (STPS) may include the π-type phase shifters and T-type phase shifters to provide more stable output signals over a wide frequency range. The hybrid STPS may provide output signals based on shifting a phase of the input signal having different frequencies across the frequency range by different phase shifts with relatively similar phase drifts resulting in a reduced phase error during operation. In some cases, the phase shifters discussed above may also include a number of capacitors and/or inductors. In some embodiments, a circuitry or layout of the phase shifters may be shared to reduce a total number of capacitors and therefore reduce a circuit area of the hybrid STPS. Moreover, stacking at least two inductors of the hybrid STPS may also reduce a circuit area for shifting the phase of the input signal by the desired phase shifts across the frequency range.

On the other hand, in the second raw image mode, the image processing circuit performs image fusion on the raw Bayer image data, and demosaics and resamples the generated fused raw Bayer image. This may ensure a cleaner image signal for image fusion, but consumes more memory. The image processing circuit is configured to support both modes of operation, allowing for fused images to be generated to satisfy the requirements of different applications.
Structures, methods, and apparatus for protecting interconnections between components and boards in an electronic device from damage resulting from a physical shock. This damage can occur due to differential tensile forces being applied between the component and the board during a drop or other shock event. An example can reduce or prevent damage by providing differential compression forces between the component and board that can cancel differential tensile forces between the component and board during the shock event. Another example can reduce or prevent damage by reducing differential tensile forces between a component and board. Another example can secure a component to the board to directly reduce the differential force in order to prevent damage.

TCI INDICATION BASED CONTINUATION OF MULTIPLE-CELL ACTIVATION
Systems and methods provide multiple cell activation. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a wireless network, a command to activate multiple cells simultaneously. In response, the UE initiates cell activation procedures for the multiple cells. The cell activation procedures include waiting for an active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indication. The UE monitors for the active TCI indication on any of the multiple cells. In response to receiving the active TCI indication on a first cell of the multiple cells, the UE determines one or more second cells of the multiple cells that share a same spatial relationship with the first cell according to one or more predetermined rule, and autonomously continues the cell activation procedures for the first cell and the one or more second cells.
Systems and methods for coordinating data sampling among devices include a set of electronic devices that may periodically sample energy data from a smart meter according to sample timing information. The sample timing information may specify a set of times to sample energy data for each electronic device. The set of electronic devices may take turns in sampling energy data from the smart meter so that individual electronic devices may reduce power consumption by sampling less frequently. A server may determine the sample times for the electronic devices and may instruct the electronic devices to sample energy data. Additionally, each individual electronic device may leave and/or join wireless communication networks less frequently than if each individual electronic device performed every sample. Accordingly, the coordinated sampling may decrease the radio resource usage and/or bandwidth usage of any individual electronic device.
