Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a display and a biometric sensor. While the device is in a locked state, the method includes displaying a log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a first and second user account. While displaying the log-in user interface, the method includes, receiving biometric information, and in response to receiving the biometric information: when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account and the first user account does not have an active session, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account; and when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account and the second user account does not have an active session on the device, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account.

Abstract: A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.

Abstract: Systems and processes for providing and updating user interfaces for search functions are provided. An example process includes, at a computer system including a touch sensitive display and one or more input devices: receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to display a user interface; in response to receiving the request to display the user interface, displaying, via the touch sensitive display, the user interface including an affordance including an indication of a number of pages of the user interface; and while displaying the user interface: detecting an occurrence of a predetermined condition; and in response to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined conditions, updating the affordance to include an indication of a search function.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a software-based privacy indicator for a camera and microphone that focuses not purely on hardware status (e.g., on or off), but on whether potentially private data is flowing to the system or an application. If based purely on hardware status, the indicator for an electronic device may be shown in scenarios where no data actually flows to the system or applications. The privacy indicator will be enabled if any camera or microphone data is relayed to the operating system or an application that is executed via the operating system. When the device uses the microphone and camera to capture environmental metadata about the surroundings of the device without providing any audio samples, images, or video frames to the system or an application, the privacy indicator will not be enabled.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can improve the legibility of text presented over an image based on a complexity metric calculated for the underlying image. For example, the presented text can have display attributes, such as color, shadow, and background gradient. The display attributes for the presented text can be selected based on the complexity metric calculated for the underlying image (e.g., portion of the image) so that the text will be legible to the user of the computing device.
