Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems, methods and programs implicitly determines the individual gaze correction required for each user when it comes to determining the point-of-regard and region of interest using a seamless-adaptation-process (SAP) in settings when calibration is not practical/desired (e.g. long-range display eye sensing). The present systems, methods, and programs also correct for variables arising from salient features such as user eye attributes (e.g., ocular dominance or chronic eyesight conditions) that are not visible within a digital frame, environmental conditions, and camera-screen settings. The method is not eye-tracking method dependent, can perform under all environmental conditions while the displayed content is known. The concept of a data driven seamless gaze correction can be extended beyond long-range displays to any gaze-enabled device where fixation accuracy can be improved (e.g., mobile phones, tablets etc.).

Abstract: A database system generates an execution plan including multiple operators for processing a database query, for example, a join query or a group by query. The database system allocates a set of threads. Threads communicate with other threads via blocking channels. A blocking channel includes a buffer of a fixed capacity. The database system processes the database query by streaming data through operators of the execution plan. A thread sends data generated by an operator to another thread via the blocking channel if the buffer of the blocking channel has available capacity to store the data, or else the thread blocks until the buffer has capacity to store the data. Similarly, a thread receives data generated by an operator of another thread via the blocking channel if the buffer of the blocking channel has available data, or else the thread blocks until the buffer has data.

Abstract: Food products and systems and methods for their production involve subjecting pasteurized milk to a concentration process thereby forming liquid concentrated milk, then fermenting the liquid concentrated milk to form a fermented concentrated milk product. The fermented concentrated milk product is combined with a liquid emulsifying agent, thereby forming a food product. The food product is formed without the fermented concentrated milk product and the food product reaching a temperature of 145° F.

A virtual machine sandbox is executed for each of the two or more groups, and each of the plurality of sequences of computer instructions is executed in the virtual machine sandbox into which the sequence of computer instructions has been assigned. Behavior of the executing instruction sequences is monitored, and is used to determine whether each of the groups has at least one executed sequence of computer instructions that is likely malicious.

Abstract: This application relates to roof vents with diverters that prevent or reduce the likelihood that water or other debris can be driven through the vent by wind. For example, a roof vent can include a lower portion and an upper portion attached to the lower portion at an upslope edge, the upper portion angling away from the upslope edge to create a space therebetween. The roof vent can also include a front opening between the lower portion and the upper portion at a downslope edge of the upper portion to allow airflow into and out of the space. The roof vent can include a diverter positioned downslope of the front opening and attached to the lower portion for preventing or reducing the likelihood that water or other debris can be driven through the vent by wind.

Abstract: A firearm includes a manual safety assembly. The manual safety assembly includes a first manual safety lever that is removably attachable to a second manual safety lever. Each of the manual safety levers includes a lever portion and a connection portion that extends transversely from the lever portion. A blocking lever extends from the connection portion of the first manual safety lever so that the blocking lever is substantially parallel to the first manual lever portion. The manual safety assembly is coupled to the firearm so that the manual safety assembly may be configured in an engaged position in which the blocking lever inhibits movement of a trigger bar of the firearm to prevent the firearm from firing. The manual safety assembly may be moved into a disengaged position that allows movement of the trigger bar.
