Abstract: A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.

Abstract: In some implementations, a kit includes a bib having a protective surface and a bib-coupling point; at least one eating utensil having a working end and a retention end, where the retention end includes a utensil-coupling point; and a tether having a first anchor end having a first coupling point that is configured to releasably couple to the bib-coupling point and a second anchor end having a second coupling point that is configured to releasably couple to the utensil-coupling point.

Abstract: A system for holding fishing rods that includes a face plate having upper and lower surfaces and defining openings therethrough. Tubes are configured to each hold a fishing rod, where each of the tubes extends along a central axis from an open end to a bottom end. The tubes are receivable within the openings in the face plate. Each of the tubes has an engagement feature for coupling the tube to the face plate such that the open end is aligned with one of the openings in the face plate. For each of the tubes the open end is closer than the bottom end to the face plate, and one of the fishing rods extends through the face plate and into one of the tubes when held by the system.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to controlled low humidity storage devices and related methods. In an embodiment, the device can include a housing defining a storage compartment and an access aperture with a door. The device can include a dry gas supply system in fluid communication with the storage compartment configured to deliver low humidity gas to the storage compartment. The device can also include a control unit in electrical communication with the dry gas supply system. The device can also include a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure differential between the inside of the storage compartment and the ambient environment, the pressure sensor in electronic communication with the control unit. The control unit can be configured to initiate delivery of low humidity gas from the dry gas supply system in response to a signal received from the pressure sensor. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: A wavelet transform and pattern recognition method for analyzing a subject's heart sounds including (a) obtaining subject-related heart-sound data utilizing a first sampling rate, (b) obtaining simultaneously existing subject ECG data, including pre-selected ECG fiducial data, and (c) processing such obtained data including, relative to the heart-sound data, (1) computing the maximum-overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) for a preselected number of wavelet scales, (2) locating the peaks in time of the absolute values of the MODWT coefficients respecting each of a such scales, and (3), for each such scale, (i) interpolating between the located peaks, and (ii) subsampling each interpolation result at a second sampling rate which no greater than the mentioned first sampling rate.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved knee brace that is configured to improve comfort to the user and reduce interference with the natural motion of the user's leg. The knee brace has rigid upper and lower frames that are connected together by polycentric hinges. The rigid upper frame is contoured such that no rigid structure is located along the medial superior region of the thigh. The rigid upper and lower frames are secured to the leg using a plurality of straps.
