Abstract: Method of generating animation overlays starts with a processor causing a communication interface for a communication session to be displayed at client devices. The processor receives from a first client device an animation sending request and causes an animation sending interface to be displayed in the communication interface of the first client device. The animation sending interface comprises animation overlay icons. Each of the animation overlay icons comprise a first avatar associated with the first user. The processor receives from the first client device a selection of a first animation overlay icon and causes the first animation overlay corresponding to the first animation overlay icon to be displayed as an overlay on the communication interface of each of the plurality of client devices. The first animation overlay is an animation that includes the first avatar. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: As solution for predistorting a signal is presented. The solution comprises receiving (600) as an input a signal comprising at least two signal components on a different band, sampling (602) the input signal comprising linear terms, composite non-linear terms causing intermodulation outside Nyquist band of the input signal and further non-linear terms causing intermodulation inside the Nyquist band, the further non-linear terms comprising multi-band terms. Oversampling (604) by a given factor is applied to the signal in a first predistortion circuit for processing the linear terms and composite non-linear terms causing intermodulation outside Nyquist band; processing (606) the input signal without oversampling in a second predistortion circuit in parallel with the first predistortion circuit for the further non-linear terms. The rates of the output signals of the predistortion circuits are matched (608), combined and filtered (610).

Abstract: An electric motor may include a rotor assembly including a rotor shaft. An electric motor may include a stator assembly including a plurality of stator segments arranged adjacent one another in a circumferential direction of the stator assembly, at least one stator segment including a core having a core yoke portion and a core tooth portion, an insulator at least partially covering the core and having an insulator yoke portion and an insulator tooth portion, a stator segment yoke portion formed by the core yoke portion and the insulator yoke portion, a stator segment tooth portion formed by the core tooth portion and the insulator tooth portion, and a stator winding extending about the stator segment tooth portion including a wire lead. The insulator yoke portion includes a standoff portion that defines a wire notch. The wire notch at least partially receives the wire lead.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to crystallizable shrinkable films and thermoformable film(s) or sheet(s) comprising blends of polyester compositions which comprise residues of terephthalic acid, neopentyl glycol (NPG), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), ethylene glycol (EG), and diethylene glycol (DEG), in certain compositional ranges having certain advantages and improved properties.

Abstract: Some implementations of a table system can include a protective member that is positionable below a table to provide protection to both a table and chairs. The protective member can extend lateral beyond a peripheral edge of the table top, for example, to protect the table and accessory furniture while allowing the table top and the peripheral edge of the table top to remain exposed.

Abstract: A composite scaffold having a highly porous interior with increased surface area and void volume is surrounded by a flexible support structure that substantially maintains its three-dimensional shape under tension and provides mechanical reinforcement during repair or reconstruction of soft tissue while simultaneously facilitating regeneration of functional tissue.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging software and systems by generating and selecting customized media content items (such as images) with avatars of different users within electronic messages based on the context of communications between the users. For example, users of different mobile computing devices can exchange electronic communications with each other, and the system can analyze these communications to present options for media content items containing the users' avatars based on content in the communications, actions or events taken by or involving the users, or combinations thereof. The users may select such media content items for inclusion in their electronic communications.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for correcting or otherwise cleaning sensor data. Sensor readings and metadata or other information about the sensor readings can be collected, and one or more detection rules (e.g., machine learning models or other detection rules) can be automatically generated for modifying subsequent sensor data. Sensor readings can be refined or supplemented by applying applicable detection rules.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for modifying avatar components of avatar datasets for multiple users, generating avatars based on the datasets, and displaying multiple avatars on a display screen of a graphical user interface.

Abstract: An end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) system can be constructed by fusing a first ASR model with a transformer. The input of the transformer is a learned layer generated by the first ASR model. The fused ASR model and transformer can be treated as a single end-to-end model and trained as a single model. In some embodiments, the end-to-end speech recognition system can be trained using a teacher-student training technique by selectively truncating portions of the first ASR model and/or the transformer components and selectively freezing various layers during the training passes.

Abstract: A broadhead generally comprises a body having a plurality of blades defining a proximal end and an opposite distal tip. Each blade has a first side having a first major surface and an opposite second side having a second major surface terminating laterally in a straight lateral edge that terminates distally at a distal point proximal of the distal tip and terminates proximally at a proximal point. For each blade a distal transverse axis is at an angle to a proximal transverse axis such that the first major surface of each blade is sloped distally and the first major surfaces and the lateral edges of the plurality of blades are diverging, whereby the distal tip is twisted relative to the proximal end.
