Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Bluetooth communication method having audio source scanning mechanism and used in a Bluetooth audio play playback apparatus that includes steps outlined below. A one-to-one connection is established with a Bluetooth communication assistant apparatus. An audio source scanning is performed to generate audio source information according to a scanned Bluetooth audio source apparatus. The audio source information is transmitted to the Bluetooth communication assistant apparatus. A selection command from the Bluetooth communication assistant apparatus is received to select the scanned Bluetooth audio source apparatus as a selected Bluetooth audio source apparatus. Audio data from the selected Bluetooth audio source apparatus is received and playback.

Abstract: A dummy dual in-line memory module (DIMM) testing system based on boundary scan interconnect and a method thereof. A dummy dual in-line memory module functioning normally is used as a test fixture, a dummy dual in-line memory module under test is served as an unit under test (UUT), and the test fixture and the unit under test are inserted into a test device to electrically connect to each other, so that the test access port (TAP) device can perform boundary scan to control the test fixture to test the unit under test through signal pins, and check a test result based on a data signal collected from at least one boundary scan register. Therefore, the effect of improving testing convenience of the dummy DIMM can be achieved.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of message processing, apparatuses therefor, and an electronic device. An implementation of the disclosure includes: presenting, responsive to a user's preset trigger operation in a target conversation, a schedule set area and a scheduled send button in the target conversation; determining a message send time set by the user via the schedule set area; and retrieving, after the user triggers the scheduled send button, message content in a message input box of the target conversation as message content for a target scheduled message, and creating the target scheduled message according to the message send time. This implementation realizes direct creation of a scheduled message via a message input box of an instant messaging client, facilitates converting an edited instant message to a scheduled message, extends functions of the instant messaging client, and enhances user experience.

Abstract: A speaker includes: a housing including a ring-shaped frame, a front cover and a bottom shell; a vibration system and a magnetic circuit system, the vibration system including a diaphragm fixed on the frame, a voice coil support fixed on the diaphragm and a voice coil supported by the voice coil support, the magnetic circuit system including a first magnetic yoke fixed on the front cover and a magnet assembly fixed on the first magnetic yoke. A first opening is provided to penetrate a center portion of the diaphragm, and the diaphragm includes an inner edge enclosing the first opening and an outer edge fixed to the frame, the magnetic circuit system extends through the first opening, the housing further includes an extension portion extending from the front cover toward the diaphragm and surrounding the magnetic circuit system, and the inner edge of the diaphragm is fixed to the extension.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for obtaining a preferred layout for a lithographic process, the method comprising: identifying an initial layout including a plurality of features; and reconfiguring the features until a termination condition is satisfied, thereby obtaining the preferred layout; wherein the reconfiguring comprises evaluating a cost function that measures how a lithographic metric is affected by a set of changes to the features for a plurality of lithographic process conditions, and expanding the cost function into a series of terms at least some of which are functions of characteristics of the features.
