Abstract: A wearable display apparatus has a headset for display from left-eye and right-eye near-eye catadioptric pupil-forming optical systems, each defining an exit pupil. Each optical system has an image generator to direct image-bearing light for a 2D image from an emissive surface. A curved reflective surface along the view axis is partially transmissive and defines a curved intermediate focal surface. A beam splitter reflects light toward the curved reflective surface. An image relay optically conjugates the formed image with a curved aerial image formed in air at the curved intermediate focal surface. The image relay has a prism having an input surface facing the emissive surface of the image generator, an output surface facing the curved intermediate focal surface, and a folding surface between input and output surfaces for folding the optical path for light generated by the image generator. An aperture stop for the relay is within the prism.

A mounting bracket is fixedly coupled to a vehicle and shares a common axis with the first gear, wherein the first and second gears are positionable in a fixedly coupled arrangement at an initial location relative to the mounting bracket or at a final location relative to the mounting bracket, such that, when the first and second gears are in the fixedly coupled arrangement at the initial location relative to the mounting bracket, the seating assembly is in a sitting position, and when the first and second gears are in the fixedly coupled arrangement at the final location relative to the mounting bracket, the seating assembly is in a standing position.

Abstract: A connector assembly of a cartridge of an electronic vaping device may be formed by metal in-molding. The connector assembly may include a connector body that is integrally formed. The connector body may include a base portion that is generally cylindrical, a nose portion extending from a first end of the base portion, and at least two slots extending longitudinally through the base portion and on opposing sides of the nose portion. An electrical lead extends through each of the at least two slots.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for connecting a user device to a wireless network despite the user device lacking the correct network credentials to access the wireless network. If the user device is unable to connect to a first network due to an incorrect network credential, the user device can automatically connect to a second network to obtain the correct network credentials associated with the first network. The network credentials associated with the first network can enable the user device to then connect and/or reconnect to the first network.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to implementing compliance settings by a computing device for bringing the computing device into compliance with a configuration scenario. For instance, a computing device may receive, from a server, configuration information describing compliance settings for implementing by the computing device to bring the computing device into compliance with a configuration scenario. Moreover, the computing device may identify a state machine indicated by the configuration information that describes a configuration process for implementing the compliance settings and execute the state machine to configure the computing device with the compliance settings.

The method includes generating the requested at least one QR code and token, wherein the at least one QR code and token includes at least an email field, transmitting the at least one QR code and token, receiving a response email, wherein the response email includes the token, decoding, the token, performing a validation, and processing the transaction, on a condition that the validation(s) are approved.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for reservation management for client-initiated polling requests in a communication system.

Abstract: Responding to a data subject access request includes receiving the request and identifying the requestor and source. In response to identifying the requestor and source, a computer processor determines whether the data subject access request is subject to fulfillment constraints, including whether the requestor or source is malicious. If so, then the computer processor denies the request or requests a processing fee prior to fulfillment. If not, then the computer processor fulfills the request.

Abstract: Self-propelled, self-powered, propulsion devices as part of pipe lining system adapted to create an internal liner member on a pipe or other tubular structure, the system being the combination of a sprayer apparatus, an umbilical member connected to the sprayer apparatus, wherein the umbilical member supplies no power or communications to the propulsion devices, and a plurality of propulsion devices mounted externally onto the umbilical member in a removable manner. The spraying apparatus and propulsion devices are independently powered and controlled such that each may be accelerated or decelerated as required to maintain the sprayer apparatus at a constant speed during the application process.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter includes techniques for providing an application testing service with a user interface that enables a user to evaluate performance data for computer implemented decision policies. An example method includes displaying a first reward statistic comprising an actual performance result for a policy implemented by an application. The method also includes obtaining experimental data corresponding to previously implemented policies, computing a second reward statistic for a hypothetical policy using a reward function applied to the experimental data. The method also includes displaying the second reward statistic together with the first reward statistic to enable a user to compare the first reward statistic and the second first reward statistic.
