Abstract: In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include identifying, via a first microphone of a device, when a user registered to use the device is speaking, and comparing a voice characteristic of the user, as detected by the first microphone, against a threshold value. If the voice characteristic exceeds the threshold value, the method may include unmuting a second microphone of the device for the user to participate in a teleconference.

Abstract: An implantable nanosensor includes a stent to be implanted inside a fluid conduit. The stent has a well in a surface of the stent. The implantable nanosensor further includes a nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate disposed in the well. The nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate is to produce an optical scattering response signal indicative of a presence of an analyte in a fluid carried by the fluid conduit when interrogated by an optical stimulus signal.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an amplifier that drives a piezo print nozzle. A bias adjuster varies bias current in the amplifier as an input signal slew rate varies to the amplifier.

Abstract: A plurality of efficient assortments may be determined for a plurality of products. One of the efficient assortments may be identified based on a strictly decreasing convex function.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an exterior part of a camera is disclosed. The exterior part has an arcuate recess for finger gripping during photography and an arcuately bent portion. The method of fabricating the exterior part includes laminating a plastic protective layer to a surface of a substantially flat stainless steel sheet. An arcuate recess is then formed in the laminated sheet to create a finger grip area. Next, a peripheral flange is formed along a part of the periphery of the sheet, leaving an end portion of the sheet unflanged. The unflanged end portion is manually bent to form an arcuately curved portion with a preliminary curvature. A press die is used to impart a sharper curvature to the curved surface and to perform flanging on the unflanged end portion so as to extend the existing flange along the periphery of the sheet. The extended flange is then ironed to remove any wrinkle.
