Abstract: The present invention relates to cationic steroid compounds and methods of obtaining thereof. The present invention further relates to the incorporation of such compounds in a polymeric matrix composition or a coating composition, as well as their use as antimicrobials.

Abstract: A battery runaway management system includes at least one battery module and a cover. The cover extends over a top and each side of the at least one battery module. The cover is integrally formed as a single unitary body from a fire-resistant or fire-retardant material.

Abstract: The invention relates to an encapsulated LED strip without a power supply, allowing same to be connected directly to an alternating current supply grid, said strip being connectable to alternating current and comprising a laminar support to one or both faces of which LEDs are attached, a cover that completely surrounds the support with the LEDs, a connector connected to one end of the support followed by at least one conductive cable, further comprising a rectifier circuit and a current stabilizer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a LED strip with discontinuous illumination which does not break when bent, folded, or bowed, thereby providing correct illumination, even when bent, folded, or bowed. Said LED strip comprises at least a first section, in turn comprising a laminar support on one or both faces of which LEDs are attached, and a second section comprising at least one conductor connected to the first section, such that said strip can be bent, bowed, or folded by the second section in the same plane as that of the laminar support.

Abstract: There is provided a system including a microphone configured to receive an input speech, an analog to digital (A/D) converter configured to convert the input speech to a digital form and generate a digitized speech including a plurality of segments having acoustic features, a memory storing an executable code, and a processor executing the executable code to extract a plurality of acoustic feature vectors from a first segment of the digitized speech, determine, based on the plurality of acoustic feature vectors, a plurality of probability distribution vectors corresponding to the probabilities that the first segment includes each of a first keyword, a second keyword, both the first keyword and the second keyword, a background, and a social speech, and assign a first classification label to the first segment based on an analysis of the plurality of probability distribution vectors of one or more segments preceding the first segment and the probability distribution vectors of the first segment.
