Abstract: An integrated backend and dynamic interface system can be provided for handling multiple transaction channels. In one example, a client device can receive a unique identification code corresponding to a guest at a physical location associated with an entity. The client device can forward the unique identification code to a backend system configured to analyze a history of the guest to determine a customized object previously obtained by the guest from the entity. The client device can receive information from the backend system about the customized object and configure a graphical user interface to indicate the customized object. The graphical user interface can also include a graphical option that is selectable by a user for adding the customized object to an object order for the guest.

Abstract: The invention provides DNA compositions that relate to transgenic insect resistant maize plants. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the maize DAS-59122-7 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the maize genome and the DNA sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are provided.

Abstract: Suppressing a hand gesture upon detecting peripheral events on a peripheral device includes determining a first hand pose for a first hand a second hand pose for a second hand in response to a detected peripheral device peripheral event, determining, based on the first hand pose and the second hand pose, at least one hand of the first hand and the second hand in a peripheral use mode, detecting an input gesture from a hand of the at least one hand determined to be in the peripheral use mode, and rejecting the input gesture by a user input pipeline in accordance with the determination that the hand is in the peripheral use mode. The presence of a peripheral device is confirmed by activating a computer vision system in response to determining that a peripheral use condition is satisfied.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein facilitate interactions with a user interface in 3D environment in which a user interface element is moved based on a user movement in a way that the user interface element appears to lag behind or follow a portion of the user (e.g., the user's fingertip). The user interface element may be moved in a way that it converges with and thus catches up to the portion of the user. Such convergence may be based on the speed of the movement of the portion of the user. No convergence may occur when the portion of the user is not moving or is moving below a threshold speed. When the portion of the user is moving (e.g., above a threshold speed), the user interface component may converge with the portion of the user and the rate of convergence may be increased with faster speeds.

Abstract: A magnifying device for magnifying an object and displaying the object on a monitor is disclosed. The magnifying device includes a hand held unit or scanner and a base unit. The scanner includes a solid state camera which is mounted in a housing. The scanner includes a focusing control and a zoom control. The focusing and zoom controls are interconnected so that the image will not have to be refocused if the magnification of the image is changed. The camera converts the image to an electrical signal which is sent to the base unit. A mobile holder for the scanner is provided having an upper frame of space apart, horizontally extending arms. The arms extend laterally from the top edge of a vertical side wall. The scanner can be removeably attached between the arms and there by elevated above the object being read. The side wall has a pair of wheels attached to the bottom corners. There is a support member at one corner which extends laterally from the wall and parallel to the support arms.

Abstract: A magnifying device for magnifying an object and displaying the object on a monitor is disclosed. The magnifying device includes a hand held unit and a base unit. The hand held unit includes a solid state camera which is mounted in a housing. The housing is supported above the text to be enlarged by a set of legs having rollers extending therebetween, to allow the hand held unit to be easily and smoothly moved across the text. The hand unit includes a focusing control and a zoom control. The focusing and zoom controls are interconnected so that the image will not have to be refocused if the magnification of the image is changed. The camera converts the image to an electrical signal which is sent to the base unit. The base unit includes inverting circuitry to convert the image from black on white to white on black, if desired. The base unit can be connected either to video monitor or a standard television.
