Method and system for using conversational biometrics and speaker identification/verification to filter voice streams Patent No. 10249304 

The leaked document has revealed that the Motorola Moto Z4 will be arriving with 6.4-inch OLED display with waterdrop-styled notch. It will carry support for full HD+ resolution. The display of the phone will be embedded with an in-screen fingerprint reader. The new report debunks the previous leak which claimed that the Moto Z4 will be featuring a 6.22-inch display.

Stepping things up with a second 80mm fan allowed Gigabyte to push the factory overclock up a bit higher in this GTX 1650, to 1,710MHz. As this card also lacks a six-pin power connector, it’s unclear how much further you will be able to push this card before it hits its power limit. This card also sports two HDMI ports alongside a DisplayPort on its rear I/O panel, and here, again, Gigabyte leaves off the legacy DVI port. MSRP is $159.99.

Abstract: A non-jamming shrink latch assembly for retractable aircraft landing gear is disclosed. The non-jamming shrink latch assembly may comprise a rod; a hook pivotally coupled to a first rod end of the rod; a lower link having a first lower link end and a second lower link end, wherein the first lower link end is pivotally coupled to the hook; and an upper link pivotally coupled to the second lower link end of the lower link. The hook may be configured to move from a locked position to an open position in response to receiving a mechanical load from the lower link. The hook may also be configured to move from the open position to the locked position in response to receiving a mechanical load from a roller.

Some of the rest areas were built without trucking industry consideration and cannot be used by the commercial heavy vehicle industry.

Systems, methods, and devices for evaluating lead placement based on patient physiological responses Patent No. 10245434 

“Just doing manufacturing is a whole new animal for us, so it’s been a lot of learning,” Collins said.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a stacked NPN having an upper NPN connected to a lower NPN. The upper NPN includes an upper collector, an upper base, and an upper emitter. The lower NPN includes a lower collector, a lower base, and a lower emitter. The upper collector includes collector segments on opposite sides of the lower emitter. The collector segments are laterally separated by collector separators which are aligned to orientation directions in the collector segments. The upper collector does not have collector separators across the orientation directions.

Gigabyte designed this card to fit into compact mini-ITX PC chassis. It measures just 152mm long, and it fits into a conventional two-slot form factor. Gigabyte opted to exclude the conventional DVI output from this card and instead used the space to add a second HDMI port, which is likely a better configuration today for connecting to TVs and other consumer gear. The card is cooled by a single small 80mm fan, but heat likely won’t be a significant problem as the GeForce GTX 1650 is rated for just 75 watts. The card has a minor factory overclock (15MHz worth) that brings the boost frequency up to 1,680MHz. MSRP is $149.99.
