    Abstract: A method and device for automatically increasing the spectral bandwidth of an audio signal including generating a “mapping” (or “prediction”) matrix based on the analysis of a reference wideband signal and a reference narrowband signal, the mapping matrix being a transformation matrix to predict high frequency energy from a low frequency energy envelope, generating an energy envelope analysis of an input narrowband audio signal, generating a resynthesized noise signal by processing a random noise signal with the mapping matrix and the envelope analysis, high-pass filtering the resynthesized noise signal, and summing the high-pass filtered resynthesized noise signal with the input narrowband audio signal. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: A zipper puller configured to connect to a zipper slider includes a puller portion and a loop portion. The puller portion may include arm channels, an extension slot located along each arm channel, and a tab slot located within each extension slot. The loop portion may include a loop to loop through a zipper slider connector, arms extending from the loop, and an extension extending from each arm, where each extension includes a tab. The puller portion and the loop portion are configured to couple to connect the zipper puller to a zipper slider. The arms may be configured to flex outwardly to position tabs within arm channels such that the arms may translate along the arm channels toward the extension slots. The arms may be resilient when flexed to urge the extensions into the extension slots along the arm channels to position the tabs within the tab slots, thereby coupling the puller portion and loop portion.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting bass levels of a multi-channel audio signal include, among other features, (i) receiving the multi-channel signal via a playback device; (ii) separating, from the multi-channel signal, low-frequency signals comprising frequencies less than a threshold frequency; (iii) determining electrical energies of the low-frequency signals; (iv) determining a first energy by summing the electrical energies of the low-frequency signals; (v) consolidating the low-frequency signals into a consolidated low-frequency signal; (vi) determining a second energy by determining an electrical energy of the consolidated low-frequency signal; (vii) generating a gain-adjusted low-frequency signal by adjusting a gain of the consolidated low-frequency signal based on both (a) the first energy and (b) the second energy; (viii) generating a gain-adjusted multi-channel signal by mixing the gain-adjusted low-frequency signal back into the multi-channel signal; and (ix) using the gain-adjusted multi-channel signal to play back gain-adjusted multi-channel audio content via the playback device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a scene pushing method, a scene implementing method, a scene pushing apparatus, a scene implementing apparatus, a terminal, a server, and a system. The scene pushing method is applied to a management terminal, and comprises: sending a scene query request to a cloud scene server, such that the cloud scene server queries, from a plurality of edited scenes, one or more scenes to be pushed, the edited scenes comprising scenes edited by a mobile terminal or a vehicle-mounted terminal of a first user; receiving said one or more scenes to be pushed returned by the cloud scene server; and screening said one or more scenes to be pushed to obtain a target scene, and pushing the obtained target scene to a target vehicle-mounted terminal, the target vehicle-mounted terminal comprising a vehicle-mounted terminal of a second user. According to the technical solutions of embodiments of the present disclosure, the finely-selected and optimized scene can be pushed to the vehicle-mounted terminal, the user experience is optimized, and an autonomously-set combined scene is automatically triggered quickly and intelligently according to the scene conditions of the vehicle-mounted terminal.

    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may assist in proactively warning a consumer they are a victim or possible target of a cyber-attack or cyber-threat. To discover whether a consumer may be a victim, the methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses will monitor the Surface Web, Deep Web, and Dark Web for potential cyber-threats and cyber-attacks. If one is discovered, the methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses will compare the criteria of victims of targeted in the cyber-attack and compare that criteria with consumer profiles. If a consumer profile matches the criteria, the methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses will notify the consumer of the threat.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an autonomous mobile robot. According to one exemplary embodiment, the method comprises the storage and management of at least one map associated with an area of use for the robot and the navigation of the robot through the area of use for the robot, wherein the robot continuously determines its position on the map. The method further comprises the detection of a repositioning procedure, during which the robot carries out a movement that the robot itself cannot control. During this repositioning procedure, the robot detects information about its position and/or its state of motion with the aid of sensors and, based on the detected information, determines an estimated value for its position.
