Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to data storage and retrieval using information-encoding polymers encapsulated in droplets stored in a microfluidic droplet storage array. In various embodiments, a data storage apparatus may include a microfluidic droplet storage array to store one or more droplets containing one or more information-encoding polymer molecules in one or more droplet storage locations, and an interface coupled with the microfluidic droplet storage array to receive the one or more droplets from a data writer that writes the one or more droplets into the microfluidic droplet storage array. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating smart placement of devices for implicit triggering of feedbacks relating to users' physical activities according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting scanning, in real-time, of a body of a user during one or more physical activities being by the user, where scanning is performed by one or more sensors placed in one or more items located within proximity of the user. The method may further include receiving data from the one or more sensors, where the data includes biometric data relating to the user. The method may further include forming a feedback based on processing of the biometric data, and communicating, in real-time, the feedback using an object or one or more feedback devices.

Abstract: Apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and method associated with speech recognition are described. In embodiments, a mobile phone may include a processor; and a speech recognition module coupled with the processor. The voice recognition module may be configured to recognize one or more voice commands and may include first echo cancellation logic and second echo cancellation logic to be selectively employed during recognition of voice commands. Employment of the first and second echo cancellation logic respectively may cause the mobile phone to variably consume a first and second amount of energy, with the second amount of energy being less than the first amount energy.

Abstract: The inkjet stylus includes a nozzle for depositing ink onto a writing surface. The ink is drawn from an ink cartridge, which may contain a plurality of ink containers, each holding a different color ink. A switch mechanism is used to select different combinations of ink to produce different colors. A microcontroller controls the switch mechanism so as to select the combination of inks that will produce the desired color, and also controls how the ink is deposited on the writing surface using the nozzle. A battery powers the electronic devices in the inkjet stylus.

Abstract: A selection device includes a display and a selector. The selector operates on two axes in an intuitive manner. The display updates itself to reflect the changes in the selection as the user uses the selector.

Abstract: A digital messaging pen includes a writing nib that a user can use to write a message. The digital messaging pen captures the message. The user then selects a destination for the message, and the digital messaging pen transmits the message to the destination.
