Abstract: Holding mechanisms for an electromagnetic core, assemblies thereof, and methods of manufacturing same are disclosed, such as for electromagnetic cores having a predetermined number of limbs. According to some embodiments, the holding mechanism may include a hub having an axis, wherein the hub comprises a plurality of apertures corresponding to the predetermined number of limbs of the electromagnetic core, such as an aperture in the hub per limb of the electromagnetic core. Each of the apertures may be configured to receive an end portion of a respective limb radially around the axis. Further, the axis of the hub may be coincident with the central axis of the electromagnetic core when the predetermined number of limbs of the electromagnetic core are received in the plurality of apertures. In one implementation, the holding mechanism comprises a plurality of jaws corresponding to the predetermined number of limbs of the electromagnetic core.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for authentication of impaired voices are described herein. A voice profile may be generated for a user. An audio stream may be received including an authentication voice of the user. It may be determined that the authentication voice does not match a first set of authentication criteria. The audio stream may be compared to a second set of authentication criteria. The user may be authenticated based on the comparison.

Abstract: A system of machine learning schemes can be configured to efficiently perform image processing tasks on a user device, such as a mobile phone. The system can selectively detect and transform individual regions within each frame of a live streaming video. The system can selectively partition and toggle image effects within the live streaming video.

Abstract: A compact generative neural network can be distilled from a teacher generative neural network using a training network. The compact network can be trained on the input data and output data of the teacher network. The training network train the student network using a discrimination layer and one or more types of losses, such as perception loss and adversarial loss.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying trends in web feeds collected from various content servers are disclosed. One embodiment includes, selecting a candidate phrase indicative of potential trends in the web feeds, assigning the candidate phrase to trend analysis agents, analyzing the candidate phrase, by each of the one or more trend analysis agents, respectively using the configured type of trending parameter, and/or determining, by each of the trend analysis agents, whether the candidate phrase meets an associated threshold to qualify as a potential trended phrase.

Abstract: A method for detecting and directing traffic in a network environment is provided that includes receiving a packet included within a communication flow that is initiated by a mobile terminal and setting a flag within the packet. The method further includes directing the packet to a next destination by recognizing that the flag included within the packet was set and therefore is associated with a mobile-to-mobile communication session.

Abstract: A multi-layered microcapsule has an inner extracellular matrix and an outer shell. The inner extracellular matrix includes a first inner layer of biopolymer and a second intermediate layer of polymer that provides partial immune-protection and holds the first layer in place. The outer shell can form an exoskeleton to provide mechanical stability. Each of the individual layers can be varied to optimize mechanical stability, cell function, and immuno-protection.

Abstract: A multi-actuator system for active sound and vibration cancellation utilizes an LMS type algorithm having an adaptive filter. However, the error signal rather than the input is filtered through an adjoint filter of the error channel to drive an adaptive filter which in turn drives, for example, a loudspeaker to provide destructive interference for noise cancellation. The adjoint filter is realized by converting a standard filter's flow direction, such as a finite impulse response filter, swapping branching points with summing junctions and unit delays with unit advances. For multiple-input-output systems, computational complexity is significantly reduced.
