Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for superimposing a virtual image on a real-time image. A system for superimposing a virtual image on a real-time image comprises a real-time image module and a virtual image module. The real-time image module comprises a magnification assembly to generate a real-time image of an object at a first location and a first depth, with a predetermined magnification. The virtual image module generates a virtual image by respectively projecting a right light signal to a viewer's right eye and a corresponding left light signal to a viewer's left eye. The right light signal and the corresponding left light signal are perceived by the viewer to display the virtual image at a second location and a second depth. The second depth is related to an angle between the right light signal and the corresponding left light signal projected to the viewer's eyes. The second depth may be approximately the same as the first depth.

Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for custom wake word selection assistance. A method can include receiving, at a device, data indicating a custom wake word provided by a user, determining one or more characteristics of the custom wake word, determining that use of the custom wake word will cause more than a threshold rate of false detections based on the characteristics, rejecting the custom wake word as the wake word for accessing a personal assistant in response to determining that use of the custom wake word will cause more than a threshold rate of false detections, and setting the custom wake word as the wake word in response to determining that use of the custom wake word will not cause more than the threshold rate of false detections.

Abstract: A decoding device is used to securely send corresponding data gathered from multiple underground sources to multiple users. The device comprises a signal receiving port connected to multiple bandwidth filters and further connected to internet access points that are assigned to end users for secure data access. The invention facilitates allowing the signal and data being transmitted through the formation of the earth to reach end users located nearby and significant distances away from the source of the transmission. A system and method utilizing the decoding device is provided.

Two or more of the main blades comprise a kerf in a first lateral edge of each main blade. The kerf comprises a first slot and a second slot that form a stepped configuration.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for authentication management through IMU and radar. The techniques and systems use inertial sensor data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and/or radar data to manage authentication for a computing device. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for computing-device authentication.

Abstract: Copying data from a source storage system to a target storage system includes resetting a write tracker on the source storage system to track writes to the source storage system by one or more host computing systems, copying data from the source storage system to the target storage system after resetting the write tracker, suspending writes to the source storage system after copying the data, and copying data portions of the source storage system to the target storage system that are indicated as being written by the write tracker after suspending writes to the source storage system. Applications that write data to the source storage system may be quiesced in connection with suspending writes to the source storage system. Data portions may be repeatedly copied from the source storage system to the target storage system until an end condition is reached.

Abstract: Extending sockets, formed of accordions generally with buttons attached at their distal ends, for attaching to portable media players or portable media player cases. Cases having attached sockets serve purposes beyond protection of the player, such as managing a headset, attaching to belts or the like, forming stand legs to prop the player at a desired angle, forming grips for gaming, forming a grip for securely holding and manipulating player with one hand, and forming extended legs for wedging players that are phones between the ear and shoulder. The sockets are structured to allow headset cords to be wound around the accordions when the sockets are extended, to prevent the cords from tangling. Space in an attached case may be provided so that the sockets may be partially or fully retracted with headphone cords wrapped around them to save space.
