Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a user includes a faceplate, an arm, a bridge, and a base. The bridge is rotatably attached to the faceplate to allow the faceplate to be pivotably adjusted. The bridge includes a hub with first and second hub bodies. Locking pins on the hub bodies slidingly engage pivot adjustment holes in first and second pivot adjustment rings. First and second buttons can be depressed to slide the hub bodies inwardly to separate the locking pins from the pivot adjustment holes to allow the hub to rotate, thereby allowing the faceplate to pivot. When the buttons are released, the hub bodies slide outwardly to insert the locking pins into the same or different pivot adjustment holes to prevent the hub from rotating.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry to obtain circuitry logic, the circuitry logic including a plurality of circuit elements logically connected by a plurality of nodes; identifier circuitry to: identify a node within the plurality of nodes for elevation; and identify a layer of an integrated circuit; port adder circuitry to modify the circuitry logic by adding a signal port, the signal port corresponding to a physical terminal in the identified layer; connector circuitry to modify the circuitry logic by connecting the signal port to the identified node; and layout planner circuitry to determine a layout of the integrated circuit based on the modified circuitry logic.

Abstract: Convolutional neural networks have, over the last decade, risen to state-of-the-art for computer vision tasks such as image classification. Oftentimes these are implemented on specialized digital processors, which target high throughput operation. This is efficient when analyzing batches of images loaded from memory but is lacking when analyzing freshly-captured images on a sensor. Latency is an issue since image acquisition alone can take as long as the processing. Second, streams of images captured from sensors can result in highly redundant processing if only specific signatures needs to be recognized, leading to a high amount of wasted power. Disclosed is a way to perform convolutional processing on the image plane where the image is captured, which allows the device to only complete readout and processing when required. This reduces latency and power consumption, enabling new applications such as augmented reality and edge processing that are not possible with current technology.

Abstract: A personal display device for displaying virtual images to a wearer. The personal display device includes a frame having a right temple section, a left temple section, a right rear section, a left rear section, a right eye see-through section, and a left eye see-through section; a projection display device connected to the frame for projecting an image to the wearer; at least one waveguide stack module connected to the frame for propagating image-bearing light beams along a length of the at least one waveguide stack module, the at least one waveguide stack module being configured to receive the image from the projection display device and detected touch motions of the wearer sensed by the touchpad including sensing directions of the touch motions of the wearer.

Abstract: Connectors that have a low profile, can form strong and reliable connections despite connection alignment errors, and can be readily manufactured. One example can provide a connector receptacle having a magnetic array arranged to provide a strong attachment that allows the use of a low profile connector receptacle and connector insert. The magnetic array can include magnets and magnetic elements, where the magnetic elements can be magnetically conductive pole-pieces. Each pole piece can have magnets at two of its sides. Another example can provide contacts for a connector insert that can have more than one contacting surface to connect to a contact of a connector receptacle.

Abstract: One example includes a signal connector system. The system includes a first connector comprising a first housing and first contacts formed from a self-passivating transition metal and configured to conduct an AC signal. The system also includes a second connector comprising a second housing and second contacts formed from the self-passivating transition metal and configured to electrically couple to a respective one of the first contacts to conduct the AC signal. The first and second housings can be coupled to enclose the signal connector and to create at least one fluid-filled channel between each of the electrically-connected first and second contact pairs in response to fastening the first and second connectors while submerged in a respective fluid to provide a resistive path in the at least one fluid-filled channel for providing signal isolation between each of the electrically-connected first and second contact pairs.

Abstract: A high-voltage underwater electrical connector is provided that includes first and second connectors each having a positive contact and a negative contact. The electrical connector further includes an auxiliary electrode made from a conductive material electrically connected to the first positive contact. A voltage limiting circuit electrically connects the auxiliary electrode to the positive contact. A high resistance water pathway is created between the auxiliary electrode and the negative contacts when the first and second connectors are mated while immersed in water or other corrosive environments.

Abstract: A system includes a first mating component formed from a self-passivating transition metal to supply power. The self-passivating transition metal has a property of forming a non-conductive passivation layer when immersed in water. A second mating component formed from a self-passivating transition metal provides a return path for the power and forms the non-conductive passivation layer when immersed in the water.
