Abstract: A display device includes a display panel including a first array of light emitters having a first spacing in a first emission region of the display panel and a second array of light emitters having a second spacing in a second emission region of the display panel. The second spacing is distinct from the first spacing. The display device includes an optical filter including a first filter region and a second filter region. The first filter region changes distribution of first light from the first array of light emitters impinging on the first filter region so that the first light has a first distribution after passing through the first filter region. The second filter region changes distribution of second light from the second array of light emitters impinging on the second filter region so that the second light has a second distribution after passing through the second filter region.

Abstract: A sensor system includes a first electrode serving as a primary electrode with a controller electrically and physically coupled to the first electrode. Computer executable instructions execute software commands on the controller causing the controller to apply a voltage to the first electrode to generate an electric field around the first electrode. A second electrode has at least a portion of the second electrode being disposed within the electrical field generated by the first electrode, and the second electrode operates while being physically decoupled from the controller. The electrical field generated by the first electrode induces a corresponding charge on the second electrode, and proximity of a conductive material on or near the first or second electrode alters the electrical signal received back by the controller from the first electrode to allow for sensing the conductive material.

The sealing member may be disposed on the top surface of the lower receiver at the charging handle-lower receiver interface.

Abstract: The technology described herein obfuscates image content using a local neural network and a remote neural network. The local network runs on a local computer system and a remote classifier runs in a remote computing system. Together, the local network and the remote classifier are able to classify images, while the image never leaves the local computer system. In aspects of the technology, the local network receives a local image and creates a transformed object. The transformed object may be generated by processing the image with a local neural network to generate a multidimensional array and then randomly shuffling data locations within a multidimensional array. The transformed object is communicated to the remote classifier in the remote computing system for classification. The remote classifier may not have the seed used to deterministically scramble the spatial arrangement of data within the multidimensional array.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for expanding user groups while preserving user privacy and data security. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a content platform and from a client device of a user, a request for a digital component that also includes a user identifier. A determination is made that the user identifier is included in a user list that includes multiple user identifiers respectively corresponding to multiple users in a user action group. In response to determining that the unique identifier is included in the user list, a digital component of the entity for which the user list is generated is selected and provided to the client device of the user for display to the user of the client device.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, methods and techniques related to delivering a service widget that collects data and provides a service. A service widget is provided in response to a widget delivery request received from a user browser. The delivered service widget enables the user browser to request item-related services from an enterprise. A request for the item-related services is received by an enterprise from the delivered service widget. Provision of the service is enabled upon confirmation that an authentication token fetched from the client backend system is valid for the client backend system, the services request may be delivered to an enterprise server. The enterprise, in response to an analysis of the information related to the item available for purchase, may indicate that the item available for purchase meets a purchase threshold of the enterprise and provide an evaluation result including parameters of the item-related services.

Abstract: In order to provide improved matching of records between different sources, systems and methods include generating a data link between a stored interaction profile of the user and activity data records that identify activities performed by the user. Online interaction data associated with the user is received, including tracking data indicative of online interactions with content. The online interaction data is stored in the stored interaction profile associated with the user. An activity model is used to predict correlation parameters representing groupings of online interactions of the online interaction data with activities performed by the user, where the prediction is based on the tracking data and each activity in the interaction profile. The interaction profile is updated with the groupings and user activities are authenticated based on the interaction profile.
