Abstract: A controlled-impedance cable assembly for removably attaching a controlled-impedance cable to a surface of a device. Signal contacts are attached to signal conductors of cables and ground members are coupled to shields of the cables. Ends of the signal conductors and of elongated appendages extending from the ground members are positioned to make a pressure contact to pads and ground lands on the surface. Pressure to make those contacts may come from deflection of the ends of the signal conductors and elongated ground appendages or from a spring. The signal contacts and elongated appendages may be positioned to provide an impedance matching an impedance with the cables.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures include, in at least one aspect, a fully automatic method of converting a generative design into an editable, watertight B-Rep by leveraging the generative solver input and representation to: (1) embed the exact input solid boundary surfaces where the design coincides with the input, (2) approximate everywhere else the design boundary with globally smooth, editable “organic” surfaces, and (3) join all surfaces to form a generative design output B-Rep.

Abstract: An electric motor has a stator defining multiple stator poles with associated electrical windings, and a rotor having multiple rotor poles. The rotor has flux barriers between adjacent rotor poles, the flux barriers each having a material with an electrical conductivity higher than the rotor pole material. The flux barriers are electrically isolated from one another external to the ferromagnetic material. Eddy currents are induced in the flux barrier to cause destructive interference of an impending magnetic field, such that the flux barrier effectively acts to inhibit magnetic flux during motor operation, which in some cases will result in a repulsive force that will act to increase an induced motive force on the rotor poles.

Abstract: Apparatuses, including sleeves, intraoral scanning systems to use these sleeves, and methods of using the sleeve. These sleeves may preserve the optical performance of the scanner while also providing a physical protection to the scanner itself, and may cover the entire intraoral scanner (e.g., the wand and/or connecting cable) or only the tip of the scanner (e.g., the wand portion) to prevent contamination.

Abstract: An audio processing system and method for processing audio is disclosed. The audio processing system collects an input audio signal indicative of degraded measurements of a target audio waveform. The input audio signal is restored with recursive restoration that recursively restores the input audio signal until a termination condition is met. A current iteration of the recursive restoration applies a restoration operator configured to restore a degraded audio signal conditioned on a current level of severity of degradation and degrades the degraded audio signal deterministically with a level of severity less than the current level of severity. A target signal estimate indicative of enhanced measurements of the audio waveform is generated as output.

Abstract: An implantable prosthetic valve has an in situ formable support structure. The valve comprises a prosthetic valve, having a base and at least one flow occluder. A first flexible component is incapable of retaining the valve at a functional site in the arterial vasculature. The first component extends proximally of the base of the valve. A second flexible component is incapable of retaining the valve at a functional site in the arterial vasculature. The second component extends distally of the base of the valve. At least one rigidity component combines with at least one of the first and second flexible components to impart sufficient rigidity to the first or second components to retain the valve at the site.

Abstract: The technology relates to selecting and displaying images captured at different points in time. As an example, a user of a computing device may view a first street level image as viewed from a particular location and oriented in a particular direction. The user may select other time periods for which similar images are available. Upon selecting a particular time period, a second street level image may be displayed concurrently with the first street level image, wherein the second street level image was captured on or around the selected time period. If the user changes the perspective of the first image an automatic change in perspective of the second image may occur.
