Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, in response to receiving an input, a device displays a first view of a collection of media items, including concurrently displaying a representation of a first time period and a representation of a second time period. In accordance with a determination that a current time is associated with a first recurring temporal event: the representation of the first time period includes a first representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a second representative media item. In accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with a second recurring temporal event, the representation of the first time period includes a third representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a fourth representative media item.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for array access with receiver masking are described. A first device may issue to a second device a first sequence of write commands for a set of data. The first sequence of write commands may indicate different memory addresses in an order. After issuing the first sequence of write commands, the first device may issue to the second device a second sequence of read commands for the set of data. The second sequence of read commands may indicate the different memory addresses in the same order as the first sequence of write commands. Based on issuing the second sequence of read commands, the first device may receive the set of data from the second device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for tracking a reference voltage (also referred to as VREFD) after boot-up are described. For example, a host device or a memory device may determine a temperature value associated with the memory device. The host device or the memory device may select a reference voltage offset value for the memory device based on mapping the temperature value associated with the memory device to a relationship between reference voltage offset values and temperature differential values associated with the memory device. The host device or the memory device may adjust a reference voltage value associated with the memory device based on the reference voltage offset value. The host device, or the memory device, may operate the memory device in accordance with the reference voltage value based on adjusting the reference voltage value.

Abstract: The process for monitoring the curing reaction of a polymeric matrix, in which carbon nanotubes are dispersed whereby a composite material is formed, provides for: arranging an electric circuit comprising at least a generator of a substantially constant voltage, an amperemeter and two electrodes immersed into the composite material, whereby the composite material interposed between the electrodes closes the electrical circuit, and tracing the current intensity value measured by the amperemeter, which is correlated to the progress of the curing reaction of the polymeric matrix, so as to control said progress.

Abstract: The process for preparing a self-healing composite material comprising a matrix of epoxy polymer, in which a catalyst of ring opening metathesis reaction and microcapsules containing a cyclic olefin having 7 to 40 carbon atoms are dispersed, comprises the steps of: preparing a mixture of a precursor of the epoxy polymer, having at least one oxirane ring, a curing agent chosen from the group consisting of tertiary amines, a Hoveyda-Grubbs II metathesis catalyst reaction, having the formula (I), wherein Ar=aryl having at least one halogen or alkyl substituent and “R=alkyl with 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and microcapsules containing a cyclic olefin having 7 to 40 carbon atoms; and heating the mixture at a temperature comprised between 25 and 130° C. for at least 1 hour, so as to obtain such matrix of epoxy polymer due to a reaction between precursor and curing agent, which reaction does not substantially involve either said catalyst or said microcapsules.

Abstract: A cellular telephone is described which includes a predictive text editor for generating text messages in response to key-presses made on an ambiguous keyboard of the cellular telephone. The text editor also includes a speech recogniser for recognising words in speech input by the user to disambiguate between possible words corresponding to key-presses made by the user on the ambiguous keyboard.

Abstract: A speech recognition system is disclosed including a model generation unit (20) and a speech recognition unit (22). When signals are received from a microphone (7) the model generation unit (20) utilises the signals to generate hidden Markov models that are stored in a hidden Markov model database (24). Subsequently, when utterances are to be recognised, the speech recognition unit (22) utilises the stored hidden Markov models to associate an utterance with a word. When a new hidden Markov model is generated by the model generation unit (20) the new hidden Markov model is processed by a confusability checker (26) against the hidden Markov models already stored in the database (24). A value indicative of the likelihood of utterances corresponding to the new model being confused with previously stored models is determined by the confusability checker (26) directly from the parameters for the new hidden Markov model and the other hidden Markov models stored in the database (24).
