Abstract: A wafer-level assembly method for a micro hemispherical resonator gyroscope includes: after independently manufactured glass substrates are softened and deformed at a high temperature, forming a micro hemispherical resonator on the glass substrate; forming glass substrate alignment holes at both ends of the glass substrate by laser ablation; aligning and fixing a plurality of identical micro hemispherical resonators on a wafer fixture by using the alignment holes as a reference, and then performing operations by using the wafer fixture as a unit to implement subsequent processes that include: releasing the micro hemispherical resonators, metallizing the surface, fixing to the planar electrode substrates, separating the wafer fixture and cleaning to obtain a micro hemispherical resonator gyroscope driven by a bottom planar electrode substrate.

Abstract: A polyetherester polyol is synthesized from reactants including a) aromatic acid or aromatic anhydride or a mixture thereof, and b) OH-functional starter molecules which contain alcoholamine or amine-initiated polyether polyol. Corresponding rigid polyurethane foams produced with the polyetherester polyol are useful for insulation used in appliance applications.

Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a modular building control system. An illustrative method may include entering a configuration mode in a base module and in each of the expansion modules. While in the configuration mode, the base module may collect information from each of the expansion modules. A system configuration may be created for the modular building control system based at least in part on the collected information and includes configuration parameters for the base module and each of the expansion modules. The base module may transmit to each of the expansion modules their respective configuration parameters. The base module and each of the expansion modules may install their respective configuration parameters, exit the configuration mode, and enter an operation mode. While in the operation mode, the base module and each of the expansion modules may control the modular building control system.

Abstract: A launcher screen position identifying method obtains a set of coordinates of a reference point of each launcher screen and a set of coordinates of a reference point of a touch screen. The method calculates a distance difference between each launcher screen and the touch screen according to the set of coordinates of the reference point of each launcher screen and the set of coordinates of the reference point of the touch screen, and the method converts the distance difference between each launcher screen and the touch screen to a scalar value of the corresponding launcher screen. The scalar value is between negative one and positive one. The method further identifies a position relationship between each launcher screen and the touch screen according to the scalar value of the corresponding launcher screen. A related electronic device and a related non-transitory storage medium are provided.

Abstract: A method for unlocking an electronic device is disclosed. The method includes: configuring, at the electronic device, a gesture password; storing, at the electronic device, the gesture password; detecting, at the electronic device, gestures on a touch screen of the electronic device when the electronic device is in a locked state; determining, at the electronic device, whether the detected gestures are consistent with the gesture password stored in the electronic device; and unlocking the electronic device if the detected gestures are consistent with the gesture password stored in the electronic device.

Abstract: System and method for using Frequency-Amplitude-Modulation-Encoding (FAME) to improve the quality of sound perception for the cochlear implant users and the compress audio signals so that broadband qualities can be achieved with narrow-band transmission channels. In one embodiment, the FAME strategy extracts essential information (changes in amplitude and frequency) and is able to use a narrow-band capacity to provide broad-band (i.e. high quality) audio signals, which can be used in auditory prostheses and telecommunication.

Abstract: A method of improving sound quality of audio signals that are digitally processed includes steps of extracting amplitude and frequency modulations from one or more narrow bands of the audio signal, and filtering and compressing those modulations to produce amplitude and frequency modulated audio signals that are digitally processed to provide an acoustic signal similar to the original audio signal. The methods may be used in auditory prostheses and telecommunication systems.
