Abstract: A two point door latch device having a master latch assembly, an auxiliary latch assembly, a linkage operationally joining the master latch assembly and the auxiliary latch assembly, and a handle for operating the master latch assembly. Both the master latch assembly and the auxiliary latch assembly have bolts with beveled heads that extend from their respective housings or brackets when in a locked state, and both include springs which tend the bias the bolts to their unlocked states absent the handle being in the lock position. Furthermore, if the linkage becomes disconnected from the master latch assembly and/or the auxiliary latch assembly, or the linkage breaks, the springs will cause the bolts of the master latch assembly and the auxiliary latch assembly to be retracted to an opened state.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a magnetic head having a sensor stack and a bias material that is aligned in a direction perpendicular to a media facing surface. The sensor stack and a first portion of the bias material are laterally bookended by synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structures, and a second portion of the bias material is laterally bookended by a dielectric material. In this configuration, the SAF structures are decoupled from the bias material, which minimizes the disturbance to the bias material.

Abstract: The format of the Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is extended or modified to accommodate, within the standard PIDF-LO format, an association of geospacial location to virtual content on the Internet. A filename of virtual content is associated with geospatial location information (either a specific location, zone, or direction). The filename is inserted into a <presence . . . > section of a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) compliant document as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this way, geospacial location information is associated with Internet based virtual content using a standard PIDF-LO format.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for converting a strain-inducing semiconductor buffer layer into an electrical insulator at one or more locations of the buffer layer, thereby allowing an above device layer to have a number of benefits, which in some embodiments include those that arise from being grown on a strain-inducing buffer and having a buried electrical insulator layer. For instance, having a buried electrical insulator layer (initially used as a strain-inducing buffer during fabrication of the above active device layer) between the Fin and substrate of a non-planar integrated transistor circuit may simultaneously enable a low-doped Fin with high mobility, desirable device electrostatics and elimination or otherwise reduction of substrate junction leakage. Also, the presence of such an electrical insulator under the source and drain regions may further significantly reduce junction leakage. In some embodiments, substantially the entire buffer layer is converted to an electrical insulator.

Abstract: A method of displaying a neutral facial expression in a paused video includes analyzing contiguous frames of a video to find neutral facial expressions and associating one of the neutral facial expression frames with each frame in the video. Upon reception of a pause instruction, synthesizing a set of frames that transition from the associated neutral expression frame to a pause frame. The synthesized frames are played in reverse, whereby the played frames transition from the pause frame to the associated neutral expression frame. Thus, the neutral facial expression frame is displayed on the video player while the video is paused instead of displaying the normal pause frame.
