Abstract: Adapting an automated assistant based on detecting: movement of a mouth of a user; and/or that a gaze of the user is directed at an assistant device that provides an automated assistant interface (graphical and/or audible) of the automated assistant. The detecting of the mouth movement and/or the directed gaze can be based on processing of vision data from one or more vision components associated with the assistant device, such as a camera incorporated in the assistant device. The mouth movement that is detected can be movement that is indicative of a user (to whom the mouth belongs) speaking.

Abstract: A prosthetic limb in amputation rehabilitation, having a forearm and a hand with four fingers and a thumb, with the wrist and the fingers & thumb thereof being fully independently controlled by nerve signals originating in the amputee's brain and not being controlled by the actions of nearby muscles in the amputee's upper arm or shoulder. Control of the prosthesis is achieved by a fully contained electronic unit in the forearm of the prosthesis that receives neural signals from the brain, converts the analog neural signals to digital signals that are fed into an artificial intelligence engine circuit that utilizes a library of algorithms to learn from the brain what the signals are that will produce a desired hand and finger movement, then convert its computed digital output to analog electrical signals that are fed to the prosthetic hand and finger to produce actual motion as instructed by the brain.

Abstract: A self-balancing Two-Rotation Driving Mechanism (TRDM) uses parallelogram and has low weight, high load, high accuracy, quick response and good adaptation with multi equipment. A longitudinal rotation motor assembly is constrained fully with a base assembly and drives a longitudinal rotation assembly through connecting rod parallelogram. The lateral rotation motor assembly is assembled in the hub of a longitudinal rotation assembly and rotates an equipment clamping assembly in a lateral direction. Generally, the TRDM can drive equipment clamping assembly in two rotations, with longitudinal rotation in the range of ±45° and lateral rotation in range of ±20°. A rotation limitation is reached when limitation shafts touch the end of respective grooves.
