The present disclosure relates to a liquid crystal material and an application thereof. The problem of high drive voltage of the liquid crystal smart window based on dynamic scattering mode in the prior arts can be solved. The liquid crystal material applied to the multi-response-mode smart window is formed by mixing a dichroic dye, an ionic dopant and a liquid crystal. It is applied to preparing an electrohydrodynamics liquid crystal dimming device which is capable of switching among transparent state, light-absorbing state and scattering state under a drive voltage of 5V to 50V and a drive frequency of 1 Hz to 5 kHz.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a data stream including a plurality of time series data is received and metadata objects are extracted from the data stream. The metadata objects are associated with metrics time series (MTS) objects. The metadata objects and MTS objects are stored via separate in-memory data structures in a logical database. The in-memory data structures include information that correlates the metadata objects with the MTS objects. Any updates to the metadata objects will stay with the metadata objects and do not propagate to the MTS objects. A logical in-memory join may be performed to associate the metadata objects with the appropriate MTS object according to the in-memory data structures when a query for an MTS object is received.

The yoke is rigidly coupled to the first shaft such that rotation of the first shaft rotates the yoke relative to the frame. The yoke has a shoulder extending radially outwardly from the first shaft. The leg has a first end, a second end, and a hinge portion disposed between the first and second ends. The hinge portion is hingedly coupled to the shoulder of the yoke. The first end is coupled to the second shaft such that rotation of the second shaft rotates the second end relative to the yoke.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for detecting and/or enrolling (or commissioning) new “hot commands” that are useable to cause an automated assistant to perform responsive action(s) without having to be first explicitly invoked. In various implementations, an automated assistant may be transitioned from a limited listening state into a full speech recognition state in response to a trigger event. While in the full speech recognition state, the automated assistant may receive and perform speech recognition processing on a spoken command from a user to generate a textual command. The textual command may be determined to satisfy a frequency threshold in a corpus of textual commands. Consequently, data indicative of the textual command may be enrolled as a hot command. Subsequent utterance of another textual command that is semantically consistent with the textual command may trigger performance of a responsive action by the automated assistant, without requiring explicit invocation.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided in which at least one data slicer of a receiver samples a signal based on a clock sampling position to obtain a first data sample and a second data sample. An integrator of the receiver integrates the signal from the first data sample to the second data sample to generate an integrated voltage. A first data slicer of the receiver samples the integrated voltage at a time of the second data sample to obtain an integrated sample. A phase detector of the receiver determines whether the clock sampling position requires adjustment based on a sign of the integrated sample.

Abstract: An optical beamlet-array generator includes a ring resonator, a polarizing beamsplitter and a polarization optic. The ring resonator includes a plurality of mirrors that in part define a plurality of distinct optical paths within the ring resonator. The polarizing beamsplitter (i) is between a first mirror and a final mirror, (ii) outputs a first polarization component of an incident optical signal as a non-delayed output beamlet propagating along a non-delayed output-beam path, (iii) outputs a second polarization component of the incident optical signal onto a first optical path as a first delayed-beamlet propagating toward the first mirror. The beamsplitter reflects the transverse electric polarization component of the first delayed-beamlet out of the first optical path as a delayed-output beamlet that propagates along a delayed output-beam path that is offset from the non-delayed output-beam path.
