Abstract: Provided is a diaphragm and a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) microphone. The diaphragm includes a vibrating portion and a support structure. The support structure includes a cantilever portion. Lengths of the first and second anchoring portion both extend along a circumferential direction of the vibrating portion, and a length extension direction of the first anchoring portion is opposite to that of the second one. The lengths of the first and second anchoring portions both extend along the circumferential direction of the vibrating portion, and the length extension direction of the first anchoring portion is opposite to that of the second one, so that the first and second anchoring portions and the cantilever portion are connected in a T shape. A vibration displacement range of the diaphragm is larger, thereby improving sensitivity and compliance of the MEMS microphone.

Abstract: The present invention provides a diaphragm and a MEMS sensor using the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a rectangular diaphragm, and the diaphragm includes a main body of the diaphragm and fixed parts arranged outside the main body of the diaphragm and located at the four corners of the diaphragm. The four corners of the rectangular diaphragm are depressed parts formed by concave in the direction of the diaphragm main body. The fixed part includes at least two fixed anchor points arranged along the edge of the diaphragm forming the depressed part. The present invention improves the effective sensing area of the diaphragm and the acoustic performance of the MEMS sensor.

Abstract: Certain examples of the disclosure concern a guard member for a docking device configured to receive a prosthetic valve. The guard member can include an expandable member and an elastic member extending along an axial length of the expandable member. The expandable member can be movable between a radially compressed state and a radially expanded state. When the expandable member is in the radially compressed state, the elastic member can be in an axially stretched state. The elastic member in the axially stretched state can be configured to return to a resting state, thereby moving the expandable member from the radially compressed state to the radially expanded state.

Abstract: An elongated pivot button is provided that can be accessed and easily activated from different directions. It attaches to a pole with a mechanism that releases when the button is pressed, allowing it to move vertically along with an attached backside member which is attached by a beam to a camera arm. The elongated pivot button can be pressed near the top, bottom, or in the middle and will provide the same releasing action due to its unique design.

Abstract: An adjustable stand for a camera with an attachment mechanism connecting the camera to a horizontal arm and a vertical pole. A user-graspable portion rotates with respect to the arm, allowing the user to hold the camera in a fixed orientation while moving the camera around, with the pole rotating and the arm extending and retracting to follow the user movement of the camera. Thus, the image orientation of an image captured by the camera is maintained, and not rotated. An extension mechanism in the arm has enough friction to hold the arm in place but allow the arm to extend and retract with respect to the pole in response to a user pulling or pushing the camera.

Abstract: Techniques for coherency management based on processor and network-on-chip coherency management are disclosed. A plurality of processor cores is accessed. Each processor of the plurality of processor cores accesses a common memory through a coherent network-on-chip. The coherent network-on-chip comprises a global coherency. A local cache is coupled to a grouping of two or more processor cores. The local cache is shared among the two or more processor cores. The grouping of two or more processor cores and the shared local cache operates using local coherency. The local coherency is distinct from the global coherency. A cache maintenance operation is performed in the grouping of two or more processor cores and the shared local cache. The cache maintenance operation generates cache coherency transactions between the global coherency and the local coherency. The cache coherency transactions enable coherency among the plurality of processor cores, local caches, and the memory.
