Modular architecture for a continuum robotic endoscope with multiple bending segments along the length of the endoscope. Each of the segments is modular, containing a set of actuation motors that drive short cables in the continuum segments.

Abstract: An electro-acoustic transducer has an acoustic diaphragm and a voice-coil. The diaphragm defines a first major surface. A flange extends from the diaphragm in a direction opposite the first major surface. The voice-coil has a first plurality of windings positioned adjacent to the acoustic diaphragm and a second plurality of windings positioned distally from the acoustic diaphragm. The flange overlaps the first plurality of windings. The flange and the windings can be adhesively bonded with each other to form a lap joint. The lap joint can transfer force from the voice-coil to the diaphragm.

Abstract: An electronic watch may include a housing at least partially defining an interior cavity divided into at least a first volume and a second volume, a pressure-sensing component positioned within the first volume, a speaker positioned within the first volume, a processor positioned within the second volume, a battery positioned within the second volume, and a barometric vent that allows air pressure equalization between the first volume and an external environment.

Abstract: An apparatus with embedded water detection and heater includes a substrate including a number of conductive traces and a lid including multiple electrodes. Each electrode is coupled to at least one of the conductive traces through vias. A sensor is placed inside a cavity of the lid and is electrically coupled to one or more conductive traces of the substrate. A gel at least partially fills the lid and covers the sensor. The presence of water on the apparatus is detected by measuring a dielectric permittivity between at least two of the plurality of electrodes, and the electrodes can generate heat to eliminate the water.

Abstract: Various examples provide a safety protection method, a firewall, a terminal device and a computer-readable storage medium. According to the method, a firewall injects a code module including a first function capable of modifying package safety information corresponding to an illegal application into a target process, and triggers the first function to modify the package safety information corresponding to the illegal application to make the illegal application fail to perform an operation due to the modified package safety information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing processes are provided, the method comprising: obtaining a process identifier for a process in an operating system; after the shutdown of the process by a user, determining, in response to a first system event of the operating system, whether a first set of event objects comprise the process identifier to generate an examination result; and if the examination result indicates that the first set of event objects comprise the process identifier, deleting the process identifier from the first set of event objects. The method and apparatus for managing processes effectively prevent a process that was shut down by a user from being unintentionally reinitiated.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling invocation of application programming interface (API) is provided. The method includes categorizing a plurality of APIs according to a plurality of API categories. The API categories are categorized by an API function through which user information is obtained. The method further includes setting a default invoking permission for a respective API category, and detecting, in real time, an attempt by an application to invoke an API in the respective API category. Upon detecting the attempted invocation of the API in the API category by the application, the method further includes controlling the invoking behavior of the API by the application in accordance with the default invoking permission for the API category.

Abstract: A method and device for filtering system events, a terminal, and a storage medium is provided. With the technical solution provided by the invention, by searching for the frequent event in the system event set, the frequent event for which the current time is within the system time window cycle can be discarded, so that the number of the system events sent to the application units in the system can be decreased, thus decreasing the redundant computations within the system, saving system resources, and reducing the power consumptions by the system. The technical solutions according to the present disclosure can be integrated within the operating system at a terminal, or can be independent of the operating system, which facilitates the subsequent product updates and developments.

Abstract: There provide a method and device for preventing recording during a conversation and belong to a communication field. The method may include: monitoring a mobile terminal device, obtaining a current state of the mobile terminal device if a monitoring result is that an application for recording is installed on the mobile terminal device and determining that the application is an application illegally used for recording and preventing the application from recording if the current state of the mobile terminal device is a talk state. The device may include: a monitoring module, an obtaining module and a preventing module. With the method, information security of the user may be ensured.
