Abstract: A smart entry point spatial security system is intended for securing facility and other entrances in general. The system includes a device associated to an entry point. The device can be coupled externally to the entry point or natively as built-in to the entry point structure or any entry point subcomponents, such as knobs and locks. A host device with a software application monitors or observes the entry point sensor data via wired or wireless link such as Bluetooth. The sensor includes a software algorithm that is adapted to trigger safety alarms upon unauthorized usage of the entry point or as means of regulating entrance of users to a dedicated general space. The sensor data is stored locally on a host computer and a logging system is available on cloud computing device. The stored data will be used in further optimizing spatial data.

Abstract: Mobile Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR), FT-mid-infrared (FT-MIR), and Raman spectral analysis systems that are compact and able to operate with a self-contained power supply are disclosed. The systems are reliable and lend themselves to use in monitoring against counterfeiting of materials including, especially, drugs and medications. Unique spectral identifiers associated with genuine materials can be compared with non-destructive scan results using a handheld and compact apparatus to determine whether product is genuine or not. Additionally, computationally intensive analysis of scanned results can be performed through the use of remote computing resources linked to the mobile spectrum analyzer, such that the mobile spectrum analyzer can be maintained compact, power efficient, and portable while still providing access to all the benefits of FT-NIR, FT-MIR, and Raman analysis.

Abstract: A charging device can include an input interface for receiving electrical power from a power source and an output interface for outputting electrical power to a mobile electronic device. The charging device can include a supplemental battery. A bypass electrical pathway can couple the input interface to the output interface to pass electrical charge from the power supply through the charging device to the mobile electronic device. A charging electrical pathway can couple the input interface to the supplemental battery. A discharge electrical pathway can couple the supplemental battery to the output interface. The bypass electrical pathway can include a voltage modifier configured to modify the voltage output by the output interface. The charging device can be configured to empirically determine the power capacity of the power supply. The charging device can monitor temperatures and/or battery health information, which can be used to reduce current or disable the charging device.

Abstract: Features are disclosed relating to a case for a mobile device that provides supplemental battery power and supplemental storage space to the mobile device. Additional features are disclosed relating to an external storage device that can provide supplemental battery power and/or supplemental storage space for one or more devices. Further features are disclosed relating sharing and searching for files. Files may be shared across multiple (e.g., two or more) devices, operated by or associated with multiple users, providing multiple file storage locations. Files may be searched across the multiple devices using, e.g., search terms, tags, and/or other search options. Searching may also be performed with respect to activities performed in connection with subject files.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to systems and methods for orienting an image captured by a camera (e.g., on a wearable computing device such as a smartwatch). The system can include an orientation sensor (e.g., one or more accelerometers) for detecting the orientation of the camera. In some embodiments, a controller can modify (e.g., crop and/or rotate) a first image captured by the camera (e.g., at a misaligned orientation) to produce a second image. In some embodiments, an actuator can move (e.g., rotate) the camera to an aligned position before the image is captured. The controller can use information from the orientation sensor to determine an amount of rotation to be applied to the camera and/or to the first image in order to orient the image at the desired orientation.
