Abstract: A method of separating a portion of an object comprising: presenting an object having a thickness; using a laser emission at a wavelength to perforate at least a portion of the thickness of the object sequentially over a length to form a series of perforations between a first portion of the object on one side of the series of perforations and a second portion of the object on the other side of the series of perforations; and applying a stress to the object at the series of perforations to separate the first portion of the object from the second portion of the object, wherein the thickness of the object, at the series of perforations, is transparent to the wavelength of the laser emission.

Abstract: The subject technology detects from a set of frames, a first gesture, the first gesture corresponding to a pinch gesture. The subject technology detects a first location and a first position of a first representation of a first finger from the first gesture and a second location and a second position of a second representation of a second finger from the first gesture. The subject technology detects a first collision event corresponding to a first collider and a second collider intersecting with a third collider of a first virtual object. The subject technology detects a first change in the first location and the first position and a second change in the second location and the second position. The subject technology modifies the first virtual object to include an additional augmented reality content based at least in part on the first change and the second change.

Abstract: A garbage disposal for saving space under a sink. The garbage disposal is a small, compact garbage disposal that takes less space under a sink. The garbage disposal further has a compact electric motor for conserving energy. The garbage disposal has a universal adaptor coupled to a drain in the sink. The universal adaptor is coupled to a receiving pipe for receiving waste and water. The receiving pipe has a plurality of magnets that are for removing metal from the waste. The garbage disposal has a garbage grinder coupled to the receiving pipe, where the waste is ground by one or more grinding steel blades. The garbage disposal has a motor that is communicatively coupled to grinding steel blades by a power transfer shaft.

Abstract: A call is setup between an originating device (A) and a terminating device (B), which both have access to a public land mobile network (131, 132) and a mobile data network (121, 122). The originating and terminating devices device (A; B) include a respective software-implemented call handling tool (SWA; SWB) configured to assist a user in placing and receiving calls. Bridge nodes (140) are connected to the mobile data network (121, 122), the public land mobile network (131, 132) and a server node (110), which also is connected to the mobile data network (121, 122). In response to a call-setup command from a user of the originating device (A), the software-implemented call handling tool (SWA), on one hand, sends a call-setup request (1) to the server node (110); and on the other hand, makes a first call (2) to a first bridge node (140) over the public land mobile network (131) using a first telephone number (#1).

Abstract: A group call is setup between one originating device (A) and at least two terminating devices (B, C), which each has access to a public land mobile network (131, 132, 133) and a mobile data net-work (121, 122, 123). The originating and terminating devices (A, B, C) include a respective software-implemented call handling tool (SWA, SWB, SWC) configured to assist a user in placing and receiving group calls. Bridge nodes (141, 142, 143) are connected to the mobile data network (121, 122, 123), the public land mobile network (131, 132, 133) and a server node (110), which, in turn, also is connected to the mobile data network (121, 122, 123).

Abstract: A system for storing and releasing a compact disc (CD) in storage unit, jewel box or other storage space The system includes a plurality of radially disposed clamp arms cantilevered about a raised area of a structure centrally located within a lower cover of the CD storage unit. CDs are pressed down over the clamp arms, causing detents to firmly hold the CD within the storage unit. A central button is provided for instantly releasing the CD from the insert-release system. The button actuates a crossed spring disposed below the CD. The spring includes outwardly extending legs, within which stresses are developed by pressing down on the central button prior to CD release. The central button eventually contacts the clamp arms to release the CD after stresses within the crossed spring are developed, causing the spring to pop the CD out from the insert-release system.
