  • Publication number: 20240154524
    Abstract: A robotic device for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and suppress leakage current is provided. The robotic device comprises a controller configured to control phase-shift switching of a plurality of axes to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and suppress leakage current, an electrical circuit, and a plurality of loads coupled to a plurality of motors of the plurality of axes. The electrical circuit comprises a power source and rectifier; an EMI filter configured to further reduce the EMI noise and suppress the leakage current from the plurality of axes; and the plurality of axes comprising a plurality of drives and a plurality of motors that are configured to operate the plurality of loads.

  • Patent number: 11949803
    Abstract: The present invention provides a locking mechanism in a mobile terminal and a method of manufacturing the same. The locking mechanism comprises a slider, latch, button, and spring. The slider and latch include openings and may translate between a locked position and an unlocked position. The latch may include a protrusion that limits the translation of the slider and the latch when in the locked position. The button is located within the opening of the slider and the opening of the latch, and the spring member is fixed adjacent the latch. In an instance in which an external force is applied to the button, the external force deforms the spring member such that contact between a vertical edge of the protrusion and the spring is precluded allowing translation of the slider and the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position.

  • Publication number: 20240070489
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an offline-online question answering system. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: receiving, by a processor, a query from a user; generating, by the processor, a query embedding representing the query; identifying, by the processor, at least one question corresponding to the query by comparing the query embedding to a plurality of embeddings of questions; and transmitting, by the processor, an answer corresponding to the at least one question to the user in response to the query.

  • Patent number: 9699291
    Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern a first device (e.g., phone) having a first set of input or output capabilities interacting with a second device(s) (e.g., tablet) having a second set of input or output capabilities. The first device may detect the second device and establish a communication link with the second device. The first device may receive inputs presented at the second device and provide outputs to be presented by the second device. In response to an action (e.g., touch, gesture) on the second device, an application running on the first device may receive an input, which may in turn determine an output that is provided to the second device. The first device may use the second device to provide an input/output experience that is superior to what the first device could provide with its own built-in input/output components. The combination saves energy and reduces computing complexity.
