In some aspects, an electronic device may display a keyboard user interface on a touchscreen display panel. The electronic device may detect a key press interaction with the keyboard user interface. The electronic device may trigger one or more haptic actuators to generate a vibration waveform associated with a haptic pattern that is based at least in part on a context associated with the key press interaction. Numerous other aspects are described.

On-screen keyboard user interface with context-aware haptic feedback

Some methods may involve receiving fingerprint image data and a first set of background image data from a fingerprint sensor and determining first processed fingerprint image data via a subtraction of the first set of background image data from the fingerprint image data. Some methods may involve obtaining force data corresponding to a force applied to the fingerprint sensor when the fingerprint image data were obtained. Some methods may involve obtaining a second set of background image data corresponding to the force data. Some methods may involve determining second processed fingerprint image data based, at least in part, on the first processed fingerprint image data and the second set of background image data, and outputting the second processed fingerprint image data. In some examples, determining the second processed fingerprint image data may involve a machine learning model. Some examples may involve estimating residual noise based on the force data.

Image compensation for fingerprint sensor deployed in a flexible device

A die includes fins extending in a first direction, a gate formed over the fins, the gate extending in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, a first source/drain contact layer formed over the fins and extending in the second direction, and a second source/drain contact layer formed over the fins and extending in the second direction, wherein the first source/drain contact layer and the second source/drain contact layer are on opposite sides of the gate. The die also includes a first source/drain metal layer electrically coupled to the first source/drain contact layer, and a second source/drain metal layer electrically coupled to the second source/drain contact layer, wherein the first source/drain metal layer and the second source/drain metal layer do not overlap one or more of the fins.

Packed terminal transistors

A method may involve obtaining a latent fingerprint on a surface, storing the latent fingerprint, obtaining a live fingerprint on the surface, and authenticating the live fingerprint based in part on the stored latent fingerprint and in part on previously-authenticated fingerprint data. The method may involve rejecting authentication of the live fingerprint as a potential spoof, if the live fingerprint matches the latent fingerprint under a relatively strict correlation test. The method may also involve, when the live fingerprint doesn't closely match the latent fingerprint, granting authentication of the live fingerprint if the live fingerprint matches the previously-authenticated fingerprint data under a relatively loose correlation test.

Fingerprint sensor with detection of latent fingerprints

Methods, devices and systems for controlling a fingerprint sensor system are disclosed. Some examples involve receiving a contact indication corresponding to a contact of an object with a surface of an apparatus and determining, responsive to the contact indication, multiple force values corresponding to contact of the object with the surface during a force monitoring time interval. Some examples involve determining whether at least a plurality of the multiple force values exceeds a force threshold and controlling a fingerprint sensor system based, at least in part, on whether at least the plurality of the multiple force values exceeds the force threshold.

Force-based finger detection for fingerprint sensor systems

Some disclosed methods may involve receiving an indication of a digit touching a surface of an apparatus in an active fingerprint sensor area, obtaining current fingerprint image data from the digit and performing a first authentication process based, at least in part, on the current fingerprint image data. Responsive to determining that the first authentication process is an unsuccessful authentication process, some methods may involve obtaining non-digit image data after the digit has been removed from the surface, performing a second authentication process based, at least in part, on the non-digit image data and providing a notification regarding the outcome of the second authentication process. In some examples, the non-digit image data may be obtained and the second authentication process may be performed without providing a notification regarding the unsuccessful outcome of the first authentication process.

Systems, devices and methods for managing a fingerprint sensor

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to control of a user device under a wet condition. In some aspects, a user device may determine whether the user device is operating under a wet condition; select, based at least in part on whether the user device is operating under the wet condition, a set of input components to control the user device, wherein the set of input components is selected from a plurality of different sets of input components; and configure a user interface of the user device according to the set of input components. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Control of a user device under wet conditions

A method may involve controlling, via a control system, the apparatus to provide a first prompt to place a digit on an outer surface of the apparatus in a fingerprint sensor system area. The method may involve determining, via the control system, a digit force or a digit pressure of the digit on the outer surface of the apparatus. The method may involve controlling, via the control system, the apparatus to provide a second prompt corresponding to the digit force or the digit pressure.

Fingerprint sensor with force or pressure feedback

An apparatus may include a cover layer, a layer of first metamaterial proximate (or in) the cover layer, a light source system configured for providing light to the layer of first metamaterial and a receiver system. The first metamaterial may include nanoparticles configured to create ultrasonic waves when illuminated by light. The receiver system may include an ultrasonic receiver system configured to receive ultrasonic waves reflected from a target object in contact with, or proximate, a surface of the cover layer. The control system may be configured to receive ultrasonic receiver signals from the ultrasonic receiver system corresponding to the ultrasonic waves reflected from the target object and to perform an authentication process and/or an imaging process that is based, at least in part, on the ultrasonic receiver signals.

Compounds are disclosed for treating AIDS, herpes, and other viral infections by means of lipid derivatives of antiviral agents. The compounds consist of nucleoside analogues having antiviral activity which are linked, commonly through a phosphate group at the 5&prime; position of the pentose residue, to one of a selected group of lipids. The lipophilic nature of these compounds provide advantages over the use of the nucleoside analogue alone. It also makes it possible to incorporate them into the lamellar structure of liposomes, either alone or combined with similar molecules. In the form of liposomes, these antiviral agents are preferentially taken up by macrophages and monocytes, cells which have been found to harbor the target HIV virus. Additional site specificity may be incorporated into the liposomes with the addition of ligands, such as monoclonal antibodies or other peptides or proteins which bind to viral proteins. Effective nucleoside analogues are dideoxynucleosides, azidothymine (AZT), and acyclovir; lipid groups may be glycolipids, sphingolipids, phospholipids or fatty acids. The compounds persist, after intracellular hydrolysis, as phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated antiviral nucleosides. The compounds are effective in improving the efficacy of antiviral nucleoside analogues by prolonging the antiviral activity after the administration of the drug has ended, and in preventing retroviral replication in HIV infections which have become resistant to therapy with conventional forms of the antiretroviral agents.

Lipid derivatives of antiviral nucleosides: liposomal incorporation and method of use

The oral delivery of many classes of drugs is facilitated by converting drugs having suitable functional groups to 1-O-alkyl-, 1-O-acyl-, 1-S-acyl, and 1-S-alkyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphate derivatives. The method confers the ability to be absorbed through the digestive tract to drugs that are not orally bioavailable in the non-derivatized state, and enhances the effectiveness of drugs that are poorly absorbed or rapidly eliminated. The method provides orally bioavailable lipid prodrugs of pharmaceutical compounds having diverse physiological activities, including anticancer and antiviral agents, anti-inflammatory agents, antihypertensives and antibiotics. Potency of the lipid prodrugs is comparable to that of the corresponding non-derivatized drugs.

Lipid nucleotide analog prodrugs for oral administration

A process for the preparation of glycerol di- or triphosphate derivatives comprising coupling the phosphate group of a glycerol monophosphate derivative in which one of the phosphate hydroxyls is replaced by a leaving group, with the terminal phosphate group of a mono- or diphosphate compound or a salt thereof, in the presence of a basic catalyst, under anhydrous conditions.
