  • Publication number: 20240303028
    Abstract: An audio data processing and transmission system has multiple audio data transmitter devices and an audio data receiver device. The audio data receiver device is communicatively connected to the audio data transmitter devices. The audio data transmitter device acquires a piece of first audio data which has not been performed with digital signal processing and has no functions of the digital signal processing. The audio data receiver device receives multiple pieces of the first audio data transmitted by the audio data transmitter devices, and performs the digital signal processing on the multiple pieces of the first audio data which have not been performed with digital signal processing. The audio data transmitter devices have no digital signal processing circuits, and the work of the digital signal processing is transfer to the audio data receiver device, thus reducing an overall cost of the audio data processing and transmission system.

  • Publication number: 20240231745
    Abstract: A system on chip (SOC) module has a first SOC for audio data transmission, and the first SOC has an audio data input/output (I/O) interface unit, a processing unit and a serial peripheral interface (SPI) unit. The audio data I/O interface unit is electrically connected to multiple audio input devices so as to receive multiple pieces of first audio data generated by the multiple audio input devices. The processing unit is used to store the multiple pieces of the first audio data. The SPI unit is electrically connected to a second SOC via a first SPI, so as to transmit the multiple pieces of the first audio data to the second SPI.

  • Patent number: 11869054
    Abstract: Method and system to facilitate transactions in a particular on-line trading platform from a third party web site may be utilized beneficially to enhance a user's experience in purchasing items referenced on third party web pages. When a user encounters, on a third party web site, a presentation of an item that is linked to a listing maintained by the on-line trading platform, the user may simply click on the presentation of the item, which causes presentation of a visual control selectable to launch a transaction processing flow facilitated by the on-line trading platform, without requiring the user to leave the third party web site.

  • Patent number: 11543958
    Abstract: An indication of a touch on a touch-enabled screen of a device is received that indicates a selection of a date facet in a listing of items. The date facet denotes a temporal indicator, other facets denote non-temporal indicators. An indication of a pinch gesture is received. The date facet is scaled to produce a scaled-facet listing. The scaling includes modifying a degree of a characteristic of the date facet in an increasing amount including producing a scaled-out listing implemented as an updated portion of item data having a different temporal indicator than an initial display of the item data by an amount proportional to a magnitude of a pinch gesture characteristic of the pinch gesture. The scaled-facet listing is displayed by exposing an updated set of the item data having the modified degree of the characteristic and replacing previous item data with the scaled-out listing.

  • Publication number: 20220347470
    Abstract: A neurostimulation device 1 for non-destructively stimulating neural activity in a nerve 3 in proximity to a blood vessel 5. The neurostimulation device 1 comprises a catheter 7 for insertion into the blood vessel 5; a proximal electrode 11 offset from a distal electrode 9 along a length of the catheter 7; and an insulator 13 positioned between the proximal electrode 11 and the distal electrode 9 on the catheter 7. The insulator 13 has a contracted configuration in which the size of the insulator 13 allows the catheter 7 to travel inside the blood vessel 5. The insulator 13 has an expanded configuration in which the insulator 13 blocks blood flowing through the blood vessel between the proximal electrode 11 and the distal electrode 9.

  • Patent number: 10975306
    Abstract: Provide are a liquid crystal compound represented by formula I, and a liquid crystal mixture comprising the compound A lateral trifluoromethyl-containing liquid crystal compound having the structural characteristics of Formula I not only has a negative dielectric anisotropy (??), an appropriate optical anisotropy (?n), a higher clearing point (CP), a prominent low-temperature miscibility with other liquid crystals, and a low rotary viscosity (?1), but also has a good stability to UV and high temperatures, particularly, a negative dielectric anisotropy. Same can be applied to the formulation of liquid crystal compositions of positive and negative types, and it is particularly prominent that same has the advantages of a good solubility at low temperatures and a high transmittance.

  • Patent number: 10203867
    Abstract: A device displays a listing of items in an item data display area on a display. The device receives an indication of a pinch gesture from a touch-enabled screen and scales a facet of the item data to produce a scaled-facet listing responsive to the pinch gesture. The device scales by modifying a degree of a characteristic corresponding with a facet of the item data displayed in the scaled-data display area in an increasing amount responsive to the pinch-in gesture. The modifying further comprises producing a scaled-out listing implemented as an updated portion of item data having a temporal indicator that is later than an initial display of item data by an amount proportional to a magnitude of a pinch gesture characteristic corresponding to the pinch-in gesture. Finally, the device displays the scaled-facet listing as an updated set of item data.
