  • Patent number: 10703317
    Abstract: An armrest assembly includes a body outlining a crushable space. The body includes a first deformation initiating feature, a second deformation initiating feature, a deformation propagating feature and a fracture initiating feature provided at spaced locations around the crushable space. The features function to dissipate energy in the event of a side impact and therefore force or load that might be transmitted to a motor vehicle occupant as a result of a side impact.

  • Patent number: 10644378
    Abstract: An electronic device for detecting an antenna element includes a sensing circuit, a comparison circuit, an interface circuit, an internal LNA (Low Noise Amplifier), a bypass path, and a selection circuit. The sensing circuit generates a sensing voltage according to an input current. The input current is relative to the antenna element. The comparison circuit compares the sensing voltage with a first reference voltage, so as to generate a first control voltage. The sensing circuit is coupled through the interface circuit to an RF (Radio Frequency) node. The interface circuit is configured to reduce the interference between the antenna element and the electronic device. The selection circuit selectively couples the internal LNA or the bypass path to the RF node according to the first control voltage.

  • Patent number: 10643029
    Abstract: A method is performed at a computer for automatically correcting typographical errors. The computer selects a target word in a target sentence and identifies a target word therein as having a typographical error and first and second sequences of words separated by the target word as context. After identifying, among a database of grammatically correct sentences, a set of sentences having the first and second sequences of words, each sentence including a replacement word, the computer selects a set of candidate grammatically correct sentences whose corresponding replacement words have similarities to the target word above a pre-set threshold, Finally, the computer chooses, among the set of candidate grammatically correct sentences, a fittest grammatically correct sentence according to a linguistic model and replaces the target word in the target sentence with the replacement word within the fittest grammatically correct sentence.

  • Patent number: 10509021
    Abstract: There is provided a diagnosing device for an on-load tap changing apparatus of a transformer, which can diagnose the degradation degree of insulating oil at high accuracy by a relatively simple device configuration. A diagnosing device for an on-load tap changing apparatus has an insulating oil tank in which insulating oil is sealed, a changeover switching device that is disposed within the insulating oil tank and performs the tap changing operation of a tap winding, a tap selector that selects the tap position of the tap winding, and a polarity (transposition) changer that inverts the polarity of the tap winding or a winding connected to the tap winding. The diagnosing device includes an arc discharge light detector that detects arc discharge light that is emitted at changing the tap position of the tap selector. The degradation degree of the insulating oil is diagnosed based on the arc discharge light detected by the arc discharge light detector.

  • Patent number: 10453477
    Abstract: Methods and computer systems for audio search on a social networking platform are disclosed. While running a social networking application, a computer system receives a first audio input from a user of the computer system and then generates a first audio confusion network from the first audio input. After comparing the first audio confusion network with one or more second audio confusion networks, each corresponding to a second audio input associated with one of a plurality of participants of a chat session of the social networking application, the computer system identifies at least one second audio input corresponding to the at least one second audio confusion network that matches the first audio confusion network and displays a portion of the chat session including a visual icon representing the identified second audio input on a display of the computer system.
