Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for suggesting images that can be conveniently included in electronic communication such as social media posts, emails, text messages, and other forms of electronic communication, based on voice input and/or emotion analysis from facial expressions of a user. A speech-to-text process converts a user's spoken utterance to text. Natural language processing performs an entity extraction on the utterance to generate a scenario summary. An image database is queried using the scenario summary and/or emotion analysis based on user facial images. A mapping rule library may be used to perform the image database query. Based on the scenario summary and/or the emotion analysis, images are presented to the user as recommended for including in an electronic communication message such as a social media post, email, or text message.

Abstract: An obstacle detection method and apparatus for a vehicle-mounted radar system.

Abstract: A method and system of converting a first language of a soundtrack of a person speaking in a video to a second language. A meaning of a word of the first language is translated, and one or more synonym words in the second language stored in a database of the computer system is located. The first and second languages are different languages. Outlines of shapes of mouth openings of the one or more synonym words in the second language are compared with the outlines of the shapes of mouth openings of the word of the first language. A synonym word of the one or more synonym words translated from the second language into the first language having mouth openings with a smallest difference from the mouth openings of the word of the first language is selected.

A barrage message to be displayed in the frame of the video is obtained. The barrage message is displayed without covering any object in the frame.

Abstract: A photovoltaic device includes a substrate structure and a p-type semiconductor absorber layer. A photovoltaic device may include a CdSeTe layer. A process for manufacturing a photovoltaic device includes forming a CdSeTe layer over a substrate. The process includes forming a p-type cadmium selenide telluride absorber layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for converting a first language of a soundtrack of a person speaking in a video to a second language. The method defines an outline of a shape of a mouth opening of the person speaking a syllable of a word of the first language in the video at a given start time by selecting a predetermined number of points along a border of the mouth opening defined by the lips. A length of the spoken syllable is also measured and one or more adjacent syllables are combined to create a word. The word is translated into synonym words in the second language, the best fit synonym word is selected that most closely matches the mouth shape of the first language word, and a mouth shape adjustment script is applied to fine tune the mouth shape of the best fit synonym word.

Abstract: A cBN material and a method of making a cBN material, the method including the steps of providing a powder mixture comprising cBN grains, aluminum and a Ti(CxNyOz)a powder, subjecting the powder mixture to a milling to form a powder blend, subjecting the powder blend to a forming operation to form a green body, subjecting the green body to a pre-sintering step, at a temperature between 650 to 950° C., to form a pre-sintered body, and subjecting the pre-sintered body to a HPHT operation to form the cBN material. For the Ti(CxNyOz)a powder, 0.05?z?0.4. In addition, a cBN material includes cBN grains, an Al2O3 phase, a binder phase of TiC, TiN and/or TiCN, W and Co, whereby a quotient Q is <0.25 of the cBN material.

Abstract: A photovoltaic device includes a substrate structure and a p-type semiconductor absorber layer, the substrate structure including a CdSSe layer. A photovoltaic device may alternatively include a CdSeTe layer. A process for manufacturing a photovoltaic device includes forming a CdSSe layer over a substrate by at least one of sputtering, evaporation deposition, CVD, chemical bath deposition process, and vapor transport deposition process. The process includes forming a p-type absorber layer above the CdSSe layer.

Abstract: Multi-step milling processes to prepare cBN composite powder forms a first powder mixture by adding a binder and a first cBN component, mills the first powder mixture for a first time period, combines a second cBN component with the milled first powder mixture to form a second powder mixture, and mills the second powder mixture for a second time period (less than the first time period) to form the cBN composite powder. A ratio of the D50 value of the second cBN component to the D50 value of the first cBN component is at least 3.0. Two-step milling with different milling times for the two cBN component fractions controls the amount of mill debris in the cBN composite powder mixture. Further processing of the cBN composite powder under HPHT conditions forms a cBN-based ceramic with an average value of a cBN particle free diameter of less than 2.0 microns.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for supporting online services in providing content items to users of an online system. A request for loading a webpage of an online system is received from a client device. A plurality of content items eligible for being presented to the user is received. For each of the received content items, a trained model is identified based on characteristics of the content item, and a score is determined using the identified trained model and based on characteristics of the user. One or more content items is selected based on the determined scores. The selected one or more content items are sent to the client device for presentation to the user.
