Publication number: 20240116189Abstract: A virtual robot image presentation method and an apparatus are provided to improve virtual robot utilization and user experience. In this method, an electronic device generates a first virtual robot image, and presents the first virtual robot image. The first virtual robot image is determined by the electronic device based on scene information. The scene information includes at least one piece of information in first information and second information, the first information is used to represent a current time attribute, and the second information is used to represent a type of an application currently running in the electronic device. According to the foregoing method, in a human-machine interaction process, virtual robot images can be richer and more vivid, so that user experience can be better, thereby improving virtual robot utilization of a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Simon Ekstrand, Fredrik Andreasson, Johan Larsby, Sha Qian, Le Du, Xueyan Huang

Publication number: 20240098549Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure allow for improving E2E mesh throughput by applying transmission (TX) biasing on the Wi-Fi mesh backhaul. Aspects of the disclosure are directed to solutions for reducing traffic load in Wi-Fi mesh networks by applying TX biasing on the Wi-Fi mesh backhaul. Certain aspects are directed to selectively transmitting or preventing transmission of data over the first backhaul link to the first MLD based at least in part on a fronthaul airtime utilization, a first backhaul airtime utilization, or a second backhaul airtime utilization. Doing so allows a root access point or a network controller to apply TX biasing between multi-link operation links towards each repeater so that traffic load on a backhaul-link would not overly occupy the front-haul link because of common channel use by selectively transmitting or preventing transmission of data on the backhaul links.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Xiaolong HUANG, Manish Shukla, Srinivas Katar, Sandip Homchaudhuri, Simon Jan Brand, Harinder Singh, Tejaswini Gollamudi, Qinfang Sun

Patent number: 10957565Abstract: Embodiments include systems, devices, and methods for monitoring etch or deposition rates, or controlling an operation of a wafer fabrication process. In an embodiment, a processing tool includes a processing chamber having a liner wall around a chamber volume, and a monitoring device having a sensor exposed to the chamber volume through a hole in the liner wall. The sensor is capable of measuring, in real-time, material deposition and removal rates occurring within the chamber volume during the wafer fabrication process. The monitoring device can be moved relative to the hole in the liner wall to selectively expose either the sensor or a blank area to the chamber volume through the hole. Accordingly, the wafer fabrication process being performed in the chamber volume may be monitored by the sensor, and the sensor may be sealed off from the chamber volume during an in-situ chamber cleaning process. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Shimin Mao, Simon Huang, Ashish Goel, Anantha Subramani, Philip Allan Kraus

Patent number: 9027862Abstract: The invention relates to a paper processing product and, in particular, to a shredder that crinkles paper stripes. The shredder has a shaft set driven by a motor. The shaft set includes at least two shafts rotating in opposite directions. Cutting blade sets are mounted on the shafts. Paper enters the entry of a paper passage formed by the shafts, and gets shredded into chips by the cutting blades. Since the exit of the paper passage is provided with a movable stopper, paper stripes are pushed by the rotating cutting blades to pass the stopper and become crinkled. The stopper is triggered to open by a certain force, letting the paper stripes fall. In addition to the functions of a usual shredder, the paper stripes thus made can be recycled.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Enable International LimitedInventor: Simon Huang

Patent number: 8008882Abstract: A system for controlling the rotation speed of a shredder motor is disclosed. It consists of a bridge rectifier circuit, a forward/reverse controlling switch, a motor speed switch, and AC motor coils. By changing a switch, it is possible to activate the following four modes: forward fast, reverse fast, forward slow, and reverse slow. A user can thus operate a shredder at high torque and low rotation speed or high rotation speed and low torque depending on the number of sheets to be shredded.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2007Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Michilin Prosperity Co., Ltd.Inventor: Simon Huang

Patent number: 7971812Abstract: The present invention discloses a shredder which does not waste energy in standby mode. Power is applied to the components of the shredder only when material to be shredded is inserted into the shredder throat or when the unit is switched into reverse to clear a jam in the shredder.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2009Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Michilin Prosperity Co., Ltd.Inventor: Simon Huang

Patent number: 7874506Abstract: The present invention relates generally to shredder openings or throats. Specifically, this invention teaches a shredder housing with a top throat to allow material to be disposed of from above the shredder, as well as a side throat to allow for material to be disposed of from the side of the shredder. This is accomplished by placing a guiding member in the throat to assist both the top and side input. In addition, two side throats substantially opposite each other allow for multiple users to simultaneously use the shredder. Finally, the guiding member can serve as a handle to assist in lifting the housing from the base.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2008Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Michilin Prosperity Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tie Chun Wang, Simon Huang, Herman Chang

Patent number: 7762485Abstract: A shredder holds a cutting blade assembly including a motor and a gear box inside its case and has a trash bin for collecting paper chips underneath the cutting blade assembly. A swinging board is provided in the vicinity of the paper outlet of the case. The swinging board is connected to a transmission axis via a shaft. One end of the transmission axis has a passive gear for receiving the rotating power from the cutting blade assembly via gears. As the transmission axis turns, the swinging board is driven by the shaft to perform a reciprocal motion so that the paper chips falling from the blades are evenly distributed over the trash bin. Paper chips accumulate in an even way to maximize the space in the trash bin. This prevents the formation of chip mountain and thus the problem of paper jams.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2007Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Michilin Prosperity Co., Ltd.Inventor: Simon Huang
