Abstract: An apparatus for protecting a handheld device using a spring-based mechanism is described. The apparatus includes one or more protection means, an actuation unit and at least one sensor. The actuation unit includes a plurality of actuating elements, a spring, a loading element and a damper coupled to the spring. The plurality of actuating elements is configured to actuate the actuation unit to unfold the spring and push the damper coupled to the spring in the direction of the protection means to slide the protection means from the stowed position to the deployed position when the sensor detects the dropping event.

Abstract: A gas sensor and methods for producing the same are disclosed. The gas sensor of the present disclosure includes a bulk silicon layer, comprising a controllable inversion layer, an oxide layer on top of the bulk silicon layer, wherein the controllable inversion layer is located at an interface of the bulk silicon layer and the oxide layer, and a sensing layer on the oxide layer, wherein a sensitivity of the sensing layer is a function the controllable inversion layer.

Abstract: A multi-gas sensor to detect food spoilage and a method of forming the same are disclosed. The multi-gas sensor includes a silicon substrate and a plurality of chemical sensitive field effect transistor (CSFET) sensors formed on a surface of the silicon substrate, wherein each one of the plurality of CSFET sensors are decorated with a different material to detect a different gas associated with food spoilage.

Abstract: In one example, a gas sensor is provided. The gas sensor includes a substrate, an isolation region formed on outer edges of the substrate, a micro-heater formed on the isolation region, a sensing layer formed on the substrate inside of the isolation region, and a source and drain formed around the sensing layer and inside of the isolation region.

Abstract: A device may receive a text, from a text source, in association with a request to generate an ontology for the text. The device may generate a set of word vectors from a list of terms determined from the text. The device may determine a quantity of term clusters to be generated to form the ontology based on the set of word vectors. The device may generate term clusters based on the quantity of term clusters, attributes, and/or non-hierarchical relationships. The term clusters may be associated with concepts of the ontology. The device may provide the term clusters for display via a user interface associated with a device.
