Abstract: A method (400) includes receiving, at a first processor (110) of a user device (102), streaming multi-channel audio (118) captured by an array of microphones (107), each channel (119) including respective audio features. For each channel, the method also includes processing, by the first processor, using a first stage hotword detector (210), the respective audio features to determine whether a hotword is detected. When the first stage hotword detector detects the hotword, the method also includes the first processor providing chomped raw audio data (212) to a second processor that processes, using a first noise cleaning algorithm (250), the chomped raw audio data to generate a clean monophonic audio chomp (260). The method also includes processing, by the second processor using a second stage hotword detector (220), the clean monophonic audio chomp to detect the hotword.

Abstract: A method for route selection policy (URSP) rule matching supporting redundant PDU session is proposed. When an application is executed, the upper layer of a UE sends the application information to URSP entity for matching a URSP rule. The UE selects and evaluates a route selection descriptor (RSD) from a list of RSDs of a selected URSP rule to be matched with a PDU session. If there is a “PDU session pair ID type” or “RSN type” route selection descriptor component in an RSD, and there is also “multi-access preference type” descriptor component, or a “preferred access type” descriptor component set to “non-3GPP access” in the same RSD, UE ignores the RSD since it is invalid for a redundant PDU session.

Damages caused by stress accumulation when the stretchable trace is stretched in different directions are therefore avoided. Therefore, it is believed reliability and service life of the electronic device are greatly improved.

Abstract: A shunt-enhanced decompression and pulsation trap (SEDAPT) for a screw compressor assists internal compression (IC), reduces gas pulsation and NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness), and improves off-design efficiency, without using a slide valve and/or a serial pulsation dampener. The SEDAPT includes an inner casing, e.g., an integral part of the compressor chamber, and an outer casing, e.g., surrounding part of the inner casing near the compressor discharge port, forming at least one diffusing chamber with an outflow orifice or nozzle equipped with an ODV (one-direction valve) at the outflow exit and a feedback region that provides a feedback outflow loop between the compressor chamber and the compressor discharge port. The SEDAPT automatically bleeds or compensates cavity pressure to meet different outlet pressures, eliminates or reduces energy waste, gas pulsations and NVH associated with any over-compression and under-compression before the discharge port opens.

Further, based on the determination, the color of the IE may be changed to facilitate distinguishability of the IE.

Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a film layer. A cathode film layer of lithium ion batteries is fabricated through atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) without using polymer adhesive. The ratio of its active substance can even reach 100%. Moreover, the cathode film layer fabricated by APS obtains pores, where, with the coordination of a liquid electrolyte, electrolyte penetration paths are provided to significantly increase the area of reaction. Hence, the effective thickness of the film layer is relatively thick and the capacity of battery is increased. As an example, the thickness of a film layer of lithium cobalt oxide fabricated accordingly reaches more than 100 microns; and its maximum electric capacity per unit area reaches 6 milliampere-hours per square centimeter (mAh/cm2). Thus, the performance of the follow-on solid-state lithium-ion battery is improved and its high-volume manufacturing cost is reduced.
