Abstract: Door configurations having integrated mechanisms for opening and releasing for closure, with elements of these mechanisms located on or largely on the body of the door itself. In some embodiments of the disclosure, a door has a handle and two release mechanisms coupled thereto, one of which releases a lock and allows the door to open, and the other of which releases a catch and allows the door to close. The two release mechanisms are coupled to the handle such that manipulating the handle in one direction actuates one of the release mechanisms but not the other, and manipulating the handle in the other direction actuates the other release mechanism. In this manner, manipulating the handle in one direction opens the door, and manipulating the handle in the other direction closes the door.

Abstract: A biometric identification system uses inputs acquired using different modalities. A model having an intersection branch and an XOR branch is trained to determine an embedding using features present in all modalities (an intersection of modalities), and features that are distinctive to each modality (an XOR of that modality relative to the other modality(s)). During training, a first loss function is used to determine a first loss value with respect to the branches. Probability distributions are determined for the output from the branches, corresponding to the intersection and XORs of each modality. A second loss function uses these probability distributions to determine a second loss value. A total loss function for training the model may be a sum of the first loss and the second loss. Once trained, the model may process query inputs to determine embedding data for comparison with embedding data of a previously enrolled user.

Abstract: An apparatus and configuring scheme where a paraelectric capacitive input circuit can be programmed to perform different logic functions by adjusting the switching threshold of the paraelectric capacitive input circuit. Digital inputs are received by respective capacitors on first terminals of those capacitors. The second terminals of the capacitors are connected to a summing node.

As such, a threshold for the capacitive input circuit is set. After the reset phase, an evaluation phase follows. In the evaluation phase, the output of the capacitive input circuit is determined based on the inputs and the logic function configured during the reset phase.
