Abstract: The various implementations described herein include a video camera assembly that includes: (1) a housing; (2) an image sensor positioned within the housing and having a field of view corresponding to a scene in the smart home environment; and (3) a concave-shaped front face positioned in front of the image sensor such that light from the scene passes through the front face prior to entering the image sensor; where the front face includes: (a) an inner section corresponding to the image sensor; and (b) an outer section between the housing and the inner section, the outer section having a concave shape that extends from an outer periphery of the outer section to an inner periphery of the outer section; and where the concave shape extends around an entirety of the outer periphery.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include a video camera assembly that includes: (1) a housing; (2) an image sensor encased in the housing and configured to capture activity of the smart home environment; (3) a wireless radio configured to transmit video frames captured by the image sensor to an electronic device via a remote server; (4) at least one infrared transmitter configured to selectively illuminate the smart home environment; (5) one or more circuit boards encased in the housing, the one or more circuit boards including at least one processor mounted thereon; and (6) a heating component coupled to the image sensor, the heating component configured to continuously maintain the image sensor at a temperature above a threshold temperature while the image sensor is capturing the activity of the smart home environment.

Abstract: A hydraulic motor (10) comprising a front housing (12) which includes a first port (14) and a second port (16), a drive assembly (18), a drive link (22), and a shaft (24). The front housing (12) and the drive assembly (18) form a central bore (26) in which the drive link (22) and the shaft (24) are rotatably mounted. The drive assembly (18) comprises a spool valve (48) rotatably positioned within the central bore (26) and coupled to the shaft (24) by a key (140). Sealing rings (104) having a rotationally incompatible geometry (e.g., waved shapes) are used to seal interface surfaces of the rotor (54) and a high pressure seal assembly (156) is used to seal the front of a fluid chamber (154).

Abstract: The system and method performs optical proximity correction on an integrated circuit (IC) mask design by initially performing optical proximity correction on a library of cells that are used to create the IC. The pre-tested cells are imported onto a mask design. All cells are placed a minimum distance apart to ensure that no proximity effects will occur between elements fully integrated in different cells. An optical proximity correction technique is performed on the mask design by performing proximity correction only on those components, e.g., lines, that are not fully integrated within one cell.
