Abstract: Implementations described herein generally relate to generating a modification selectable element that may be provided for presentation to a user in a smart dictation session with an automated assistant. The modification selectable element may, when selected, cause a transcription, that includes textual data generated based on processing audio data that captures a spoken utterance and that is automatically arranged, to be modified. The transcription may be automatically arranged to include spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, paragraph breaks, and/or other arrangement operations that are not specified by the user in providing the spoken utterance. Accordingly, a subsequent selection of the modification selectable element may cause these automatic arrangement operation(s), and/or the textual data locationally proximate to these automatic arrangement operation(s), to be modified.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a micro-electro-mechanical mirror device having a fixed structure defining an external frame delimiting a cavity, a tiltable structure extending into the cavity, a reflecting surface carried by the tiltable structure and having a main extension in a horizontal plane, and an actuation structure coupled between the tiltable structure and the fixed structure. The actuation structure is formed by a first pair of actuation arms causing rotation of the tiltable structure around a first axis parallel to the horizontal plane.

The bearing structure of each actuation arm is formed by a soft region of a first material and the elastic coupling elements are formed by a bearing layer of a second material, the second material having greater stiffness than the first material.

Abstract: An electrode active layer is disclosed that includes a network of high aspect ratio carbon elements (e.g., carbon nanotubes, carbon nanotube bundles, graphene flakes, or the like) that provides a highly electrically conductive scaffold that entangles or enmeshes the active material, thereby supporting the layer. A surface treatment can be applied to the high aspect ratio carbon elements to promote adhesion to the active material and any underlying electrode layers improving the overall cohesion and mechanical stability of the active layer. This surface treatment forms only a thin (in some cases even monomolecular) layer on the network, leaving the large void spaces that are free of any bulk binder material and so may instead be filled with active material. The resulting active layer may be formed with excellent mechanical stability even at large thickness and high active material mass loading.
