  • Patent number: 11921029
    Abstract: A product index mechanism for a product inspection system includes a material strip driving wheel and an index structure driving wheel. The material strip driving wheel engages with a material strip carrying a plurality of products to be inspected by an inspection device of the product inspection system. The driving wheel drives the material strip to move. The index structure driving wheel rotates synchronously with the material strip driving wheel and includes a plurality of product index structures thereon. As a product on the material strip is moved by the material strip driving wheel to an inspection position of the inspection device, one product index structure on the index structure driving wheel is rotated to a trigger position corresponding to a trigger of the inspection system. Activation of the trigger transmits a trigger signal to the inspection device to inspect the product.

  • Patent number: 11917417
    Abstract: A method for preventing a hardware wallet from being maliciously paired, comprising: a hardware wallet waiting to receive a connection request; when a connection request is received, determining whether a first terminal sending the connection request has been paired and connected; if so, waiting to receive an instruction of the first terminal; and when receiving a pairing transfer instruction sent by the first terminal, clearing terminal information stored in a whitelist of the hardware wallet. By means of the present technical solution, a hardware wallet can achieve pairing transfer only by means of the authorization of a previously paired terminal, thereby improving the security of the hardware wallet.

  • Patent number: 11858503
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a road segment. A set of features associated with the road segment can be determined based at least in part on data captured by one or more sensors of a vehicle. A level of similarity between the road segment and each of a set of road segment types can be determined by comparing the set of features to features associated with each of the set of road segment types. The road segment can be classified as a road segment type based on the level of similarity. Scenario information associated with the road segment can be determined based on the classified road segment type.

  • Patent number: 11842005
    Abstract: In some examples, a touch screen includes resistors between the touch electrodes and routing traces. In some examples, the resistors can include a transparent conductive material included in the touch electrodes of the touch screen. The resistors can be located in a border region of the touch screen that can surround an active area of the touch screen that can include the touch electrodes and display pixels of the touch screen, for example. In some examples, the resistors included in the touch screen can have different resistances from each other and the same outer dimensions as one another. The resistors can reduce the variation in resistance from channel to channel in the touch screen, which can improve touch screen performance, for example.

  • Publication number: 20230359580
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a system for implementing an external device simulating a keyboard relates to the field of electronic technology. The external device generates key-value data in a case that a user pressing a key is detected, and sends a start command to an Apple device after receiving a data request sent by the Apple device. After receiving the start command, the Apple device exits a soft keyboard and continuously sends the data request to the external device. After receiving the data request, the external device sends an attaching report command including the key-value data to the Apple device. The Apple device displays the key-value data and continuously sends the data request to the external device. After receiving the data request, the external device sends an end command to the Apple device. The Apple device pops up the soft keyboard again after receiving the end command.
