  • Patent number: 12228801
    Abstract: Eyewear hinge assemblies for eyewear that connect temples to a frame. The hinge assemblies include hinge elements that are attached to the temples in an extended state, which stores an initial amount of energy or pre-load. The pre-load biases the temples inwardly and toward one another. After the temples are placed on the user's head, stored energy in the hinge elements can be released as the hinge elements exhibit elastic recoil. This causes the temples to grip the sides of the user's head in a snug and comfortable fit. The hinge assemblies have compact designs with material properties that provide comfortable closing forces while aiding in the reduction of electromagnetic noise from electrical subsystems in the eyewear.

  • Publication number: 20250047175
    Abstract: Driver circuits for a low-cost two-phase motor are disclosed. Cost reductions may be further achieved by utilizing a printed circuit board (PCB)-based stator and methods of manufacturing, as disclosed herein. The disclosed technology can be particularly well matched for use in two-phase motors, such as axial-flux motors the utilize one or more ferrite-based rotors and a printed circuit board (PCB)-based stator. In certain implementations, part or all of the motor driver circuitry may be integrated onto the same PCB as is utilized to define the stator windings. In other implementations, the motor driver circuitry may be independently utilized with other traditional electrical motors.

  • Patent number: 12190871
    Abstract: Techniques and methods are disclosed for detecting long-form audio content in one or more audio files. A computing system receives first audio data corresponding to a first version of an audio file and second audio data corresponding to a second version of the audio file. The computing system generates a first transcript of the first audio data and a second transcript of the second audio data. The computing system compares the first audio data and the second audio data and the first transcript and the second transcript to identify advertisement portions and content portions of the audio data. Using a semantic model based on a machine learning (ML) transformer, the computing system can determine advertisement segments within the advertisement portions, the advertisement segments corresponding to separate advertisements. Information corresponding to the duration and location of the advertisement segments is stored in a data store of the computing system.
