Abstract: Vision loss, a common challenge associated with aging, affects a significant portion of the global aging population. The proposed system introduces an automatic zooming solution as an enhancement to camera systems on AR glasses. When there is an object in front of the user within an arm's length, the camera will zoom in automatically to allow more details of the object to be captured. Technically, the proposed system leverages user voice commands for media captures to check the acoustic characteristics of the user environment. Specifically, echo signals will be used to determine whether there is any significant object in front of the user within a predetermined distance or distance range. The proposed solution can be enabled or disabled by a user explicitly. And, when it is enabled, the zoom-in decision logic runs in parallel to conventional voice assistance operations, therefore, does not introduce significant latency to default photo capture experience.

Abstract: Hearing loss, a common challenge associated with aging, affects a significant portion of the global aging population. The proposed Babblefish system aims to address this by offering smart and yet affordable solutions through bone-conducting headphones. The Babblefish system not only amplifies sounds, but also records voices and allows user interactions with recorded voices. The system architecture allows flexible configurations, incl. a baseline setup to leverage existing Blue Tooth headphones in the market through mobile apps, a Model X headset to allow basic on-device Babblefish controls, and a Model Y headset to allow more advanced on-device Babblefish experiences for paraphrasing, summarization, and translations. In addition, the Babblefish system also provides privacy safeguards for bystanders through an LED indicator during active recording, and circular memory buffers within the system.

Abstract: An introduction of nuclear fusion into conventionally fission-based nuclear reactors. Particularly, coolant in the reactor serves as the secondary fuel that absorbs neutrons from the fission core, and releases energy through fusion reactions. Molten Lithium is the preferred coolant in the invention, as it produces Helium gas through the neutron-Lithium fusion without leaving any radioactive or chemical impact to the environment. A Helium pressure controller is also introduced in the system to manage the Helium gas produced by nuclear reactions of the secondary fuel. Lithium Chloride (LiCl) is proposed as the secondary coolant in lieu of the commonly used molten salt in order to achieve higher power production efficiency. A reactor based on the proposed system requires less space than a conventional reactor of the same power. It is a better choice than conventional nuclear reactors when space is a key constraint, for example, on a container ship.

Abstract: A system, device and a method for gas treatment is provided. The gas treatment system comprises a generator, one or more corona devices and separation device disposed in sequence along an exhaust gas flow direction. The generator is driven by a gas flow to generate an alternating supplying voltage. The corona devices are electrically connected to the generator to provide the supplying voltage and generate a first electric field via corona discharge by the supplying voltage such that particulates in the gas passing the first electric field are charged. The separation device is electrically connected to the generator and generate a second electric filed via the supplying voltage to separate charged particulates from the exhaust gas flow.

Abstract: An isolator in an exhaust system of a vehicle is provided. The isolator comprises a bracket to be connected with an under body of the vehicle; and a gas filled cushion at least partially embedded in the bracket. The cushion is formed to have a through hole in a middle portion and the through hole is configured to receive a hanger connected to an exhaust system.
