Abstract: A method of making an acoustic sensor (e.g., a piezoelectric sensor for a piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems microphone) includes forming or depositing one or more piezoelectric layers to define a beam extending between a proximal portion and a distal tip (e.g., unsupported free end), the beam having a width in plan view that is greater at a location distal of the proximal portion than at the proximal portion. The method also comprises attaching the beam to a substrate in cantilever form so that the proximal portion of the beam is anchored to the substrate and the distal tip is a free unsupported end of the beam. One or more electrodes are disposed on or in the proximal portion of the beam.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for custom online course based on matching content with a course syllabus by parsing a syllabus document submitted by a teacher into course segments and matches course resources with appropriate course segments. The course segments can be automatically placed into an online course structure. The appropriate course materials can then be automatically matched to each course segment. Teachers may then approve, edit, or delete course segments and their matched materials. This approval process may improve the syllabus parsing and content matching and content generation using machine-learning models, such as large language models.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to solutions to maximize the recovery of ethylene, propylene and aromatics rich naphtha from crude oil processing. The schemes involve treating the effluent from Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) to remove metals like AsH3, PH3, Hg, as well as impurities such as NOx and oxygen, before mixing it with the steam cracker effluent. The combined effluent is then cooled in a cold box and sent to various fractionators for separating the ethylene, propylene, and aromatics rich naphtha.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a web content management system is coupled to remote resources via a framework that has one or more corresponding adapters which enable editing of content by invoking editors which are native to the respective remote resources. The system retrieves a content item from a remote resource and stores a copy of the content item in a local repository, while the original content item remains in the repository of the remote resource. A content item can be selected in in a local authoring tool, causing the system to examine the content item's metadata to identify the source repository and invoke the native editor of the corresponding remote resource, enabling editing of the content item using the native editor. The copy of the content item in the local repository can then be synchronized to the edited version of the content item in the remote resource.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media may facilitate buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) transactions at brick-and-mortar locations of merchants that otherwise lack an ability to interface with financial institutions (FIs) that finance BNPL transactions. Likewise, the system may be used to conduct BNPL transactions for merchants that lack an electronic commerce presence. For example, a payment network used to process payment cards such as credit cards may be leveraged to communicate with user devices, merchant point of sale (POS) terminals, and BNPL servers operated by FIs to mediate BNPL transactions. In particular, the payment network may receive, from merchants, a list of items that are eligible for BNPL transactions and installment offers from FIs to pay for BNPL transactions. The payment network may match eligible items with installment offers, select the best installment offers for the buyer, and mediate exchanges between the parties to settle payments for the BNPL transaction.

Abstract: An electronic device package comprises an electronic acoustic device including a primary microphone having a frequency response having a resonance frequency, and a reference microphone having a frequency response including a resonance frequency. The primary microphone and the reference microphone are configured to substantially simultaneously receive a common acoustic signal to produce a transduced signal of the primary microphone and a transduced signal of the reference microphone, the resonance frequency of the reference microphone being different than the resonance frequency of the primary microphone. An equalization module is configured to equalize the frequency response of the microphone based on the transduced signal of the microphone and the transduced signal of the reference microphone. The package defines a first back cavity of the primary microphone and a second back cavity of the reference microphone, the second back cavity being acoustically isolated from the first back cavity.

Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR)-enabled Automated Teller Machine (ATM) receives a request to dispense cash equal to amount of an AR document. The AR document comprises an AR check. The AR-enabled ATM fetches a first AR check image from a memory. The AR-enabled ATM extracts a first set of features from the first AR check image. The AR-enabled ATM receives a second AR check image from a computing device associated with the receiver. The AR-enabled ATM extracts a second set of features from the second AR check image. The AR-enabled ATM compares the first AR check image with the second AR check image. The AR-enabled ATM determines whether the first AR check image corresponds to the second AR check image. In response to determining that the first AR check image corresponds to the second AR check image, the AR-enabled ATM dispenses cash equal to the amount.

Abstract: Clock generation circuit generating multiple divided signals satisfying respective desired offsets. A phase locked loop (PLL) is used to generate a PLL output having a frequency which is a desired multiple of that of a reference clock. The circuit divides the PLL output by a corresponding divisor to generate a corresponding divided signal, wherein each divided signal is offset from a common reference by at least an associated desired time offset. The common reference is timed with respect to the reference clock when the reference clock is available and with respect to a time reference signal otherwise. This arrangement is extended to use the internal time reference signal even for the cases where the reference clock is present by blocking the reference clock while the output systems across PLLs are aligned using the internal time reference signal to ensure desired offsets across different PLLs with a small uncertainty.
