Abstract: An information transmission, sending, and acquisition method and device. A method includes: using a master and slave relay terminal in an information relay terminal pair at the head of an information relay terminal pair queue to synchronously receive information sent by a sending terminal, and using the master relay terminal to transmit information to a receiving terminal; when a fault occurs in the master or slave relay terminal at the head of the queue, stopping using the master and slave relay terminals to receive information, and deleting the information relay terminal pair from the queue; after the slave or master relay terminal in the deleted terminal pair transmits all the information to the receiving terminal and the fault of the master or slave relay terminal is removed, inserting the terminal pair to the tail of the queue; and meanwhile, when the fault occurs in the master or slave relay terminal, using the next adjacent terminal pair to continue receiving the information.

Abstract: An optical device as described herein includes a host substrate fabricated from a dielectric material transparent in the Infrared range. Additionally, the optical device as discussed herein includes multiple elements disposed on the host substrate. The multiple elements are spaced apart from each other on the host substrate in accordance with a desired pattern. Each of the multiple elements disposed in the host substrate is fabricated from a second material having a refractive index of greater than 4.5. Such an optical device provides an improvement over conventional optical devices that operate in the Infrared range.

Abstract: A speaker includes a frame, a magnet, a diaphragm, a first coil, and a second coil assembly. The second coil assembly includes at least one second coil group, and each second coil group includes two second coils. The magnet and the diaphragm are mounted on the frame. The first coil and each second coil are coupled to the diaphragm. The first coil is configured to drive the diaphragm to vibrate. The second coil assembly is configured to, when the diaphragm vibrates and a difference between vibration displacements of two vibration regions in the diaphragm that are correspondingly coupled to two second coils in any second coil group exceeds a preset threshold, drive at least one of the two vibration regions to move to reduce the difference between the vibration displacements of the two vibration regions.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) obtaining an authorization failure from a target application because an access request was denied based on insufficient permissions of a user. The processor(s) institutes a mock interface with a visual appearance of the target application. The mock interface displays predefined data and the target application displays dynamic data, from the server(s) executing the target application. The processor(s) obtains, via the mock interface, a request to change the permissions of the user to the target application, which includes a selection, by the user, through the mock interface, of one or more individual permissions displayed in the mock interface. The processor(s) automatically generates a customized security policy comprising the selection, where based on applying the customized security policy, repeating the access request results in authorized access to the target application.
