Abstract: A fixture for processing a ceramic matrix composite article includes first and second tool segments that each have an exterior side and an interior side. The interior side has a border mate face, and the interior side of the first tool segment faces the interior side of the second tool segment such that the border mate faces align and circumscribe a working region for holding a fiber preform that is to be coated with a ceramic material.

A seal circumscribes the working region and blocks a gap between the border mate faces to limit inflow of the gaseous precursor through the gap into the working region.

Abstract: Techniques for transcribing and/or summarizing multimedia collaboration sessions are discussed herein. For example, users can communicate within a teleconferencing meeting associated with a channel. In some examples, a first machine learning model may be configured to receive audio-visual data and user interaction data (e.g., selected emojis, detected gestures, messages or text input by a user, a thread of messages, etc.) and output a teleconferencing meeting summary. In some examples, the teleconferencing meeting summary can include one or more highlights, action items, and/or artificial intelligence (AI) notes generated using a machine learning model(s).

Abstract: Dynamic refresh rate (DRR) switching is used to dynamically update a refresh rate of content presented on an interface. When a first application and a second application are presented on a user interface at a first refresh rate; a request may be received to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second, higher, refresh rate. DRR switching is initiated as the first refresh rate is temporarily boosted to a second refresh rate. Applications that are opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at the second refresh rate, while applications that are not opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at a virtualized refresh rate that matches the first refresh rate. Thus, the first application refreshes content at the first refresh rate and the second application refreshes content at the second, higher refresh rate, providing a smooth user experience without unnecessarily utilizing power consumption.
