  • Patent number: 11424823
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for time slot multiplexing, and a communication device. At least one multiplexing node group in a subnet of a TDMA communication system may be determined according to a connection relationship among all nodes in the subnet, where a shortest communication link between every two nodes in each multiplexing node group includes at least the preset quantity of nodes, the preset quantity of nodes includes the two nodes, and the preset quantity is no less than 4. For each multiplexing node group, a multiplexing time slot allocated to the multiplexing node group is determined, and each node in the multiplexing node group is controlled to transmit data in the multiplexing time slot. The time slots can be shared by the nodes in the multiplexing node group, and therefore multiple nodes can transmit data in the multiplexing time slot.

  • Patent number: 11288539
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for utilizing multiple image processing techniques to identify an item represented in an image. In some implementations, one or more image processing algorithms may be utilized to process a received image to generate item image information and compare the item image information with stored item image information to identify the item. When a similarity score identifying the similarity between the item image information and at least one of the stored item image information is returned, a determination may be made as to whether the similarity score is high enough to confidently identify the item. If it is determined that the similarity score is high enough to confidently identify the item, the other algorithms may be terminated and the determined identity of the item returned.

  • Patent number: 11140489
    Abstract: A speaker includes a frame; a magnetic circuit system in the frame; and a vibrating system in the frame. The vibrating system includes a suspension ring fixed on the frame, a number of domes fixed at a center of the suspension ring and a voice coil connected below the domes. The domes includes a first dome and a second dome stacked with each other. The second dome has a body part and a number of convex parts extending from the body part to the magnetic circuit system; a number of intervals each formed between every two contiguous convex parts. The convex part includes a bottom surface close to the magnetic circuit system. The voice coil buts the bottom surface and forms leakage passages with the second dome at the interval positions.

  • Patent number: 11006222
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a speaker, including a holder, a magnetic circuit unit and a vibration unit arranged in the holder, the vibration unit comprises a suspension fixed at the holder, a dome fixed at a center of the suspension and a voice coil connected to the dome, the dome is provided with recesses formed by recessing from the dome towards the magnetic circuit unit, a spacing is formed between at least two of the recesses, and the voice coil abuts against bottom walls of the recesses and forms a leakage passage with the dome at the spacing. The leakage passage enables a difference of internal and external air pressures of the voice coil to be effectively reduced after an amplitude of the vibration unit is increased; the voice coil becomes short and thick, and thus a magnetic flux is increased and structural strength of the dome itself is improved.

  • Patent number: 10979822
    Abstract: A speaker of the present invention arranges the grooves on the dome, which forms a leakage passage that helpful for the air current to circulate between the grooves and the voice coil, and therefore, the air current in the voice coil can timely circulate through the leakage passage between the voice coil and the dome. The inner and outer air pressure difference of the voice coil can be effectively decreased after the amplitude of the vibrating system increases, and the influence on the performance of the speaker imposed by the unbalance of the inner and outer air pressures of the voice coil is avoided.

  • Patent number: 10924861
    Abstract: A speaker is provided, including a holder, a diaphragm fixed to the holder, and a voice coil located under the diaphragm and configured to drive the diaphragm to vibrate to sound. The diaphragm includes a diaphragm body, a protruding portion extending from the diaphragm body while being bent towards the voice coil, and a dome fitted to the protruding portion. The protruding portion includes a first wall and a second wall connected to the first wall and parallel to the diaphragm body. The diaphragm body is provided with a suspension disposed around the dome. The speaker of the present disclosure has the diaphragm of an improved structure, which greatly increases the adhesion between the dome and the diaphragm, effectively improves the reliability of the product, reduces the total harmonic distortion, and improves the acoustic performance of the product.

  • Patent number: 10713614
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for processing an image of an item and correctly identifying the item from a group of candidate items. In one implementation, as item image information for a new item is added to an item images data store, a determination is made as to the weight of the item represented by the image, and the item may be associated with a weight class. Each weight class represents items within a defined weight range. Item image information for items in the same weight class may then be used when new items are added to inventory and/or when identifying an item represented in an image.
