Abstract: An electronic device can implement a zero-latency digital assistant by capturing audio input from a microphone and using a first processor to write audio data representing the captured audio input to a memory buffer. In response to detecting a user input while capturing the audio input, the device can determine whether the user input meets a predetermined criteria. If the user input meets the criteria, the device can use a second processor to identify and execute a task based on at least a portion of the contents of the memory buffer.

Abstract: A prosthetic suspension sleeve with a fabric section of 5-60 degrees that allows for a greater comfort for the wearer. The use of polymeric material is easier on the skin while also enhancing the function of the sleeve by retaining its location due to the grip on the skin and exterior socket wall and sealing the socket and wearer's skin to allow a vacuum to form or be created within the socket. The sleeve generally comprises an internal gel or silicone layer and an outer fabric layer, both of which are pre-flexed to a 5 to 60-degree bend at about a midsection of the sleeve, and an internal fabric layer which is located throughout the midsection of the suspension sleeve depending on the placement of a prosthetic socket. The prosthetic suspension sleeve may also be a straight sleeve with fabric reinforcement. The internal fabric layer may alternatively further comprise an internal layer of sprayed silicone.
