A method for controlling a three-phase resonant circuit and related apparatuses are provided, relating to the technical field of circuit control. The method includes: obtaining a target error value, where the target error value is a difference between a reference value of a predetermined electrical parameter of the three-phase resonant circuit and a sampled value of the predetermined electrical parameter of the three-phase resonant circuit; adjusting, in responding to the target error value being greater than or less than 0, an operation parameter of the three-phase resonant circuit to cause the target error value to be 0; and switching, in responding to the target error value being greater than or less than 0, an operation mode of the three-phase resonant circuit from a current mode to a target mode after the operation parameter has been adjusted to a preset value, where the target mode includes a three-phase continuous mode, a three-phase hiccup mode, a two-phase hiccup mode or a two-phase variable duty cycle mode.

There is provided a method, comprising: at a reduced capability (redcap) user equipment (UE) configured to connect to a base station of a wireless network: receiving, from the base station, a broadcast including access restrictions, wherein the access restrictions include a first set of predetermined criteria that must be satisfied for the redcap UE to camp on the base station; determining whether the redcap UE satisfies the first set of predetermined criteria; when the redcap UE satisfies the first set of predetermined criteria, performing a random access channel(RACH) procedure to camp on the base station; and generating, for transmission to the base station, redcap UE capability information associated with a second set of predetermined criteria that must be satisfied for the redcap UE to establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the base station.

There is provided a wearable electronic device (200) comprising: a display (210); an optical device (224) having an image sensor configured to capture a digital image; a housing (202) at least partially enclosing the display (210) and the optical device (224), the housing (202) comprising a metal enclosure component defining: an upper surface at least partially surrounding the display and the optical device; a bottom surface opposite to the upper surface; a first side surface extending from the upper surface to the bottom surface and defining a first band slot (214) configured to receive a first portion of a band (204); and a second side surface extending from the upper surface to the bottom surface and defining a second band slot (214) configured to receive a second portion of the band (204); and a transparent cover (208) coupled to the upper surface and positioned over the display (210) and the optical device (224).

There is provided a portable electronic device (100), comprising: a housing member (203) defining a hole (215) extending therethrough; a display (103); a transparent cover (102) over the display (103) and coupled to the housing member (203); a button member (120) positioned along a side of the housing member (203) and defining: a chassis portion (205); and a post (222) extending from the chassis portion (205) and positioned at least partially in the hole (215), the post (222) defining a passage extending through the post (222) from the chassis portion (205) to an end of the post (222); a biometric sensing component (204) coupled to the chassis portion (205); and a flexible circuit element (212) extending through the passage and conductively coupling the biometric sensing component (204) to at least one of a processor, a circuit board, or a conductive connector within the portable electronic device (100).

There is provided a method comprising: receiving, by a second base station from a first base station, one or more messages comprising: multiple time indications; for each time indication of the multiple time indications, a prediction of one or more candidate serving cells of a wireless device; and for each candidate serving cell of the one or more candidate serving cells, a prediction of a priority of the candidate serving cell to become a serving cell for the wireless device; and performing, by the second base station, a radio access network performance improvement decisions and/or actions using the one or more messages received from the first base station.

Devices, systems, and methods for operating a head-mountable device (200). Specifically, the head-mountable device (200) may be operated according to different operating modes depending on a current device state of the head-mountable device (200). The head-mountable devices described here may be configured to operate in a plurality of candidate device states. In a plurality of these candidate device states, the head-mountable device (200) may be worn on a corresponding portion of the user's body (402). As the head-mountable device (200) moves between these different body-mounted states, the head-mountable device may change its current operating mode. In some instances, the plurality of candidate device states may include one or more additional device states, and the head-mountable device (200) may change its current operating mode as it enters these additional device states.
