  • Patent number: 11476065
    Abstract: A connector device comprises a connector and a mating connector. The connector comprises a housing and a slider having a second regulated portion. The mating connector comprises a mating housing having a second regulation portion. The connector is movable between an open position and a closed position. The slider is held by the housing to be movable between a first position and a second position. When the connector is moved to a predetermined position together with the slider which is located at the second position upon a movement of the connector from the closed position toward the open position, the second regulated portion is brought into abutment with the second regulation portion, and a movement of the connector toward the open position beyond the predetermined position is regulated. When the slider is moved to the first position, the connector is movable to the open position.

  • Patent number: 11475618
    Abstract: To track certain difficult facial features during speech such as the corners of the mouth and the teeth, a camera sensor system generates RGB/IR images and the system also uses light intensity change signals from an event driven sensor (EDS), as well as voice analysis. In this way, the camera sensor system enables improved performance tracking (equivalent to using very high-speed camera) at lower bandwidth and power consumption.
