Patent №: 11721318 (August 8, 2023) – Singing voice conversion.

This method and system change one person’s singing voice to match another’s. It encodes how each person sings and aligns the sounds. Then it creates a new voice using the generated mel-spectrogram features.

Jun-Mo Kang

Mr. Kang received a B.E.E. degree in electrical engineering from Korea University in 1993, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1997 and 2000, respectively.

He is currently a Senior Research Engineer at General Motors R&D, Warren, MI. His research interests are in the control and modelling of advanced technology engines and the optimization of dynamic systems.

Patent №: 11722037 (August 8, 2023) – Interior permanent magnet motor having controllable coolant distribution.

This is about an electric motor with a controllable way to spread coolant. The motor has a housing and a spinning part inside. There are coils around the spinning part. On top, there’s a place with oil. A tube connects this place to the coils and can move. When it moves, it lets oil flow over a certain part of the coils to cool them down.

Tsau-Hua Hsieh

Patent №: 11721787 (August 8, 2023) – Method of manufacturing display device.

A method of manufacturing a display device is disclosed. A light-emitting unit is provided. The light-emitting unit has a chip and at least one bonding pin. The light emitting unit is mounted on the substrate through at least one bonding pin, and an adhesive material is applied to a space between the chip and the substrate.

Juan Alejandro Herbsommer

Quantum Devices team Lead, DMTS at Texas Instruments.

Mr. Herbsommer is an innovative entrepreneur and leader in Quantum Information Science, mm-wave semiconductors and power electronics.

He developed a new generation of AlN piezoelectric devices and RF LDMOS transistors for telecom applications. At Ciclon Semiconductors (a startup formed from Bell Labs) he was one of the technical leaders that developed a new generation of MOSFET devices for power applications. After 3 years of inception, Ciclon was successfully acquired by Texas Instruments yielding so far more than 2 Billion dollars of revenue.

Patent №: 11719577 (August 8, 2023) – Integrated compact mmW spectroscopy cell system and method. This is a small system to detect certain chemicals in gas using mmW spectroscopy. It has a chamber to collect gas, a space to prep the gas, pumps to move it, and a transceiver to send and receive signals. The transceiver analyzes the gas using electromagnetic signals and compares the results to a database. Everything is made using chip manufacturing techniques.

Chun-Chieh Wang

Patent №: 11719252 (August 8, 2023) – Fan.

A fan adapted for being disposed of in an electronic device is provided. The fan includes a hub and a plurality of metal blades respectively extending from the hub. Each of the metal blades has a root portion connected to the hub and an end portion away from the hub, and the mass of the end portion is greater than the mass of the root portion, such that the metal blade is elongated while the fan is rotated.

Kenji Morita

Engineer at Preferred Networks, Inc.

Kenji Morita received a B.Eng. degree and M.Eng. degree in applied physics from Waseda University, Japan in 1988 and 1991 respectively.

In 1991 he joined Canon Inc., where from 1999 he was involved in the development of MR entertainment applications. He was a leader of the software development team for “Contact Wate”.

In 2003 he started to development of AR middleware aka MR Platform with Scrum.

From September 2010 I was involved in healthcare solution software projects. And apply Scrum to the health care solution software product.

This screw compressor has multiple screw rotors and bearings. The rotor parts have lobes and shaft sections. The compressor is housed in a casing with a lubrication path to keep things running smoothly. The path is connected to the rotor housing and the bearings are lubricated in a series of connected passages.
