  • Publication number: 20240103632
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to providing gesture-based control of electronic devices. Providing gesture-based control may include determining, with a machine learning system that includes multiple machine learning models, a prediction of one or more gestures and their corresponding probabilities of being performed. A likelihood of the user's intent to actually perform that gesture may then be generated, based on the prediction and a gesture detection factor. The likelihood may be dynamically updated over time, and a visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator of the likelihood may be provided as user feedback. The visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator may be helpful to guide the user to the correct gesture if the gesture is intended, or to stop performing an action similar to the gesture if the gesture is not intended.

  • Patent number: 9661895
    Abstract: A shoe includes one or more nozzles mounted to the shoe, each of the one or more nozzles including one or more inlets to take in fluid traveling in an intake direction during a kicking motion of a wearer, a bend to change a flow direction of the fluid from the intake direction to an output direction, and one or more outlets to expel fluid in the output direction.

  • Patent number: 9204684
    Abstract: A nozzle shoe includes water nozzles attached to the shoe. As water enters an inlet of each nozzle, it is directed through the use of turning vanes to an outlet of the nozzle. The internal turning vanes will aid in keeping the water in a substantially laminar condition for a more efficient performance while within the nozzle. The area of the outlet of the nozzle is smaller than the area of the inlet of the nozzle. This will provide a proportionally higher force out the outlet which will assist in propelling the wearer through the water at a higher velocity.
