The system can comprise a system memory, one or more processors, and/or a computer readable medium containing compute-executable instructions representing a probability accuracy module. The probability accuracy module can be configured to query an identity map database for an identity map created using the identity mapping method, compare the identity map with additional social media data, calculate a correlation based on similarities between the social media data and the additional social media data, and/or verify the identity map based on the correlation. The identity map can be based on commerce data from a retailer and/or social media data from a first social media site.

Abstract: Techniques are provided to dynamically generate and render an object bounding fence in a mixed-reality scene. Initially, a sparse spatial mapping is accessed. The sparse spatial mapping beneficially includes perimeter edge data describing an object's edge perimeters. A gravity vector is also generated. Based on the perimeter edge data and the gravity vector, two-dimensional (2D) boundaries of the object are determined and a bounding fence mesh of the environment is generated. A virtual object is then rendered, where the virtual object is representative of at least a portion of the bounding fence mesh and visually illustrates a bounding fence around the object.

Abstract: Content intended for delivery to one or more consuming users may be recorded by a content distribution system. The recording or archival of the content may allow users to retrieve the content at a later time without providing specific instructions to record the content. Storage of the content may include retrieving programming information describing the content and storing the information in association with the content. In one or more arrangements, descriptive data for content may be generated based on user feedback. Additionally or alternatively, content storage may include fragmentation of the content into a number of segments or segments of a specified size. Content may further be paused and resumed between multiple devices, taking into account the capabilities and compatibilities of the devices and a network through which the content is to be delivered.

Abstract: Reductions in latencies and improvements in computational efficiency when analyzing data stored in a relational graph by integrating analytical capabilities into graph queries. Instead of a user having to run a graph query and then perform analytics on the resulting subgraph via separate requests, the user is enabled to run analytics at the time the graph query is run via a single request to the database maintaining the relationship graph, which improves the computationally efficiency of analyzing relational graphs and thereby improves the functionality of the computing devices hosting the relational graphs and running the queries and analytics.

Abstract: Embodiments herein enable fast and easy interconnectivity among multimedia accessories including mobile devices and other devices. There is only limited space on mobile devices yet there are numerous input connectors. The standard TRRS audio jack is one such input that has and remains common, primarily because it is the accepted standard for audio input; namely, headphones and earpieces for listening purposes. Embodiments herein describe an intelligent switch to that audio jack that permits for additional backward and forward compatibility. It transparently allows a user to insert analog or digital audio devices, such as earphones, without the need to manually reconfigure device settings. The device herein automatically converts between input connector types using the same input convention present on their existing mobile devices. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A labyrinth seal including a stator and a non-contacting rotor, and annular elastomeric seals. The confronting surfaces of the stator and rotor define at least one interface passage, including a radially-outermost annular interface passage between an annular, outermost, radially-extending projection of the stator and an annular rearwardly-extending distal projection of the rotor that overlaps the radially-extending projection of the stator, the radially-outermost annular interface passage tapering outwardly and rearwardly at an acute angle relative to an axial reference line. The annular elastomeric seals are stationary with the stator during dynamic operation of the rotor, and are not contacted by a surface of the rotor during dynamic operation. The interface can also have two radially-disposed exclusion chambers, the outer exclusion chamber being defined in part by a radially-inboard projection of the rotor.
