Abstract: Embodiments are directed to representing radio frequency (RF) signals in a visualization using particle bursts. In one scenario, a computer system instantiates RF signal sources in a virtualization, where each RF signal source is configured to emit RF signals. The computer system then generates a stream of particle bursts to represent at least one of the emitted RF signals, and provides a visualization that shows the instantiated RF signal sources along with the generated particle bursts representing the emitted RF signals. In some cases, the visualization may be used to illustrate an anti-access, aerial denial (A2AD) environment. In other cases, the visualization may be used to illustrate network communications using particles, where each particle represents network data packets.

Abstract: Touch sensor gesture recognition for operation of mobile devices. An embodiment of a mobile device includes a touch sensor for the detection of gestures, the touch sensor including multiple sensor elements, and a processor, the processor to interpret the gestures detected by the touch sensor, where the mobile device divides the plurality of sensor elements into multiple zones, and the mobile device interprets the gestures based at least in part on which of the zones detects the gesture.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a processor and a touch sensing device coupled to the processor. The apparatus may further include a force determining module operative on the processor to receive a detection signal from a first portion of the touch sensing device, determine a contact area at the first portion based upon the detection signal, map the first portion to a target operation, and send control instructions to perform the target operation based on the contact area.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for chat message prioritization that uses a combination of machine-derived and user-supplied relevancy criteria to present a filtered, annotated, and/or highlighted chat stream.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to streaming DVR devices that can communicate over an Internet Protocol (IP) network with other streaming enabled DVR devices. Implementing a peer-to-peer type connection, one streaming enabled DVR device may be able to stream buffered video data to another streaming enable DVR device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques to preview graphical search results may include determining that information is inside a search field. Search results may be determined based on the information. A set of the search results may be presented as a set of graphical images. The set of graphical images may include a foremost graphical image that is fully visible and one or more rearward graphical images that are shifted so that a portion of a rearward graphical image is visible on a display. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A media processing device may include a processing component and a viewing context builder operative on the processing component. The viewing context builder may analyze media content comprising an audio stream, a video stream, and/or a closed captioning stream from a selected channel; extract context relevant data from the analyzed media content; and build a viewing preference profile from the context relevant data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a camera may use novel techniques to calculate proper exposure for a backlit scene, or a scene that otherwise has very high contrast ratios between different parts of the scene. In one embodiment, a touchscreen is used as a viewfinder, and the user may touch the viewfinder to indicate that part of the scene where proper exposure is desired. In another embodiment, a rear-facing exposure meter may use the light levels from the photographer to set the exposure levels for the front facing camera.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating hybrid control panels within gaming systems according to one embodiment of the invention. A method of embodiments of the invention includes employing one or more hybrid control panels at a computing device. The computing device may include a gaming device. The method may further include detecting user movements across a surface of each of the one or more hybrid control panels. The detecting may be performed at least in part using sensors of the hybrid control panels. The method may further include interpreting the user movements, and facilitating actions based on the interpreted user movements.
