Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are described providing networking engines. Specifically, the present specification relates to a method for implementing software containers implementing network engines that may be configured to act in a zero-knowledge environment. In such implementations, all information pertaining to the network engine associated with a user that is stored in the container is solely that of a user unless explicitly shared by the user. In some implementations, the containers may be configured to participate in a publish-and-subscribe network in order to share information. In addition, the containers may be provisioned with controls so that global operators may comply with local privacy rules.

Abstract: In one embodiment, software is operable to identify checking account information from a repository, with the checking account information associated with a transaction. The software automatically generates an electronic check image based, at least in part, on the transaction and the identified checking account information. The software is then operable to communicate the electronic check image to a bank of first deposit for deposit.

Abstract: In a see-through waveguide-based HMD device configured to display holographic virtual images within a field of view (FOV) of a device user, a glint-based eye tracker illumination system provides infrared (IR) point sources at known locations having a predetermined angular distribution using optical components—including input and output couplers and diffusers—on a waveguide that is located in front of the user's eyes. An input coupler couples light from an IR source into the illumination system waveguide which is propagated to one or more output couplers. Separate diffuser elements aligned with the output couplers distribute the out-coupled IR light into a deterministic range of divergent angles to function as point sources for eye tracker glints. Various illustrative illumination system waveguide architectures are disclosed in which the optical components can be disposed on the same or opposite sides of the waveguide in dual-layered and dual-sided arrangements.
