  • Patent number: 10929561
    Abstract: A device for removal of personally identifiable data receives monitoring data acquired by a sensor. The monitoring data including personally identifiable data relating to one or more individuals being monitored. The system processes the acquired monitoring data to remove the personally identifiable data by at least one of abstraction or redaction while the monitoring data is located on the device. The processed monitoring data having the personally identifiable data removed can thereby be transmitted external to the device with reduced security risk.

  • Patent number: 10762225
    Abstract: The herein described technology facilitates sharing of notes and files with a locked computing device. The locked computing device may receive a file sharing request that includes a file identifier identifying a location of a source file. The locked processing device provides a user account of the processing device with access to content of the source file responsive to authentication of a recipient access credential associated with the user account.

  • Patent number: 10606540
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of making a state-based determination of information to be displayed on a screen region of a hinge that is coupled to other screen regions. For instance, a state of a hinge that is coupled between a first screen region and a second screen region may be determined. Information that is to be displayed on a third screen region that is provided on the hinge may be determine based at least in part on the state of the hinge.

  • Publication number: 20190289396
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a spatial output device comprised of two electronics enclosures that are electrically connected by a flexible electronic connector. The two electronics enclosures are weighted to maintain a balanced position of the flexible connector against a support. The spatial output device has at least one input sensor affixed to one of the two electronics enclosures and an onboard processor affixed to one of the two electronics enclosures. The input sensor is configured to receive monocular input. The onboard processor is configured to process the monocular input to generate a spatial output, where the spatial output provides at least two-dimensional information.

  • Patent number: 9973852
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing an updated acoustic response for a device based at least in part on a hinge angle. For instance, an angle of a hinge that is coupled between first and second members of a device may be determined. The angle is defined between first and second surfaces of the respective first and second members. A spectral signal has a frequency spectrum that includes multiple portions. An amplitude of each portion of the frequency spectrum is selectively modified to change an acoustic response of the device to an updated acoustic response based at least in part on the angle of the hinge. The acoustic response of the device is associated with a resonance chamber, which is defined by the first surface, the second surface, and a third surface.
