  • Patent number: 11402873
    Abstract: A stylus and/or a host device can be provided with components to mitigate and/or avoid damage to the stylus and/or the host device when dropped. Such components can cause the stylus and the electronic device to separate when drop motion is detected. Such separation can reduce and/or prevent damage that would have otherwise occurred if the stylus and the electronic device remained coupled together during impact. Examples of coupling and detachment mechanisms include magnetic and mechanical components.

  • Patent number: 11335096
    Abstract: A method, a system and an electronic device for processing audio-visual data. In the method, a first dataset is obtained, where the first dataset includes several data pairs, and each of the data pairs in the first dataset includes a video frame and an audio clip that match each other. A multi-channel feature extraction network model is established to extract the visual features of each video frame and the auditory features of each audio clip in the first dataset. A contrastive loss function model is established using the extracted visual features and the auditory features to train the multi-channel feature extraction network. A classifier is established to determine whether an input audio-visual data pair is matched.

  • Publication number: 20210100122
    Abstract: An electronic device with a sealing layer is disclosed. The sealing layer may include several enhancements designed to improve the overall sealing performance. For instance, the sealing layer may include an adhesive material and several particles embedded in the adhesive material. The embedded particles may include liquid-activated particles that respond to liquid exposure. In some instances, the liquid-activated particles absorb the liquid. Additionally, the liquid-activated particles may expand and fill/cover areas previously occupied by the sealing layer or another structure of the electronic device. Further, the liquid-activated particles may adhere to one or more structures of the electronic device, thereby providing the sealing layer with sealing properties.

  • Publication number: 20200358162
    Abstract: Disclosed is a production process for slotting an outer conductor of a leaky cable, through which an integrated production line incorporating a metal strap slotting production line, a metal strap longitudinal coating production line and a sheathing production line is provided. A semi-finished product from a leaky cable insulation process is subsequently processed by laser in a numerical control laser cutting device for cutting out corresponding slot holes in a metal strap to produce a slotted outer conductor. Then the slotted metal strap is embossed, and directly coated on an insulator in a longitudinal coating forming mould of the outer conductor. The final sheathing process is completed in a sheath plastic extruding machine to produce a finished leaky cable product. The processes of the outer conductor of the leaky cable, including the raw material punching, the longitudinal coating forming, and the outer sheathing, are finished at one time.
