Abstract: An acoustically-sealed electronic device assembly comprising a first housing component, a second component, and a sealing element. The first housing component may have a locking element. The second component may have a threaded channel extending at least partially along a perimeter of the second component. The threaded channel may be sized to receive the locking element. The sealing element may be positioned at an interface between the first housing component and the second component. The locking element of the first housing component may be moved from a first non-engaged position to a second engaged position within the threaded channel of the second component. The sealing element may be compressed by the first housing component and the second component to form an acoustic seal at the interface.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable an interface for communicating a threshold in a camera. An electronic device recognizes an in-camera, drag gesture that triggers a camera application to switch modes from a real-time display mode (displaying real-time preview images in a viewfinder) to a buffer-display mode, which displays frames recorded in the camera buffer. During the motion of the drag gesture, the electronic device provides dynamic visual feedback indicating a relation between a drag distance of the drag gesture and a target threshold for the drag gesture. For simplicity and conciseness, the visual feedback can be combined with the virtual shutter control. After meeting the threshold, the user releases the touch input of the drag gesture and the system triggers the camera application to switch modes. This allows capture of a “missed” moment that was recorded in the camera buffer but not stored in non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic sharing of images with designated users over a communication network. In some implementations, a method includes causing display of images in a user interface on a first device, each of the images depicting a different person. The images are obtained from a library of images associated with a first user. A selection of a particular image of the images is received based on user input, and a person identifier is determined indicating a particular person depicted in the selected image. The person identifier is designated as a person sharing criterion. A first image not included in the images is obtained and programmatically analyzed to determine that the first image depicts a person that matches the person sharing criterion, and an access permission is updated to grant access to the first image to a second user of a second device over a communication network.

Abstract: Secure selective token-based access control includes receiving a data access request from over a computer communications network, extracting a token from the request, selecting a decryption key for use in decrypting the token and attempting decryption of the token using the decryption key. Thereafter, on condition that the decryption key successfully decrypts the token into decrypted data, a creation date of the token in the decrypted data may be read and a rule applied to the creation date, the rule determining whether or not to expire the token. Finally, in response to a determination by the application of the rule to expire the token based upon the creation date of the token, the token is expired from subsequent use in authorizing servicing of the data access request, but otherwise the data access request is authorized for servicing.
