Abstract: Technologies are described for delivery of compounds to aid in weight management. A transdermal microdispenser based system may deliver weight management compounds through the time and dose specific administration of appetite suppression, metabolic enhancers, and satiation compounds.

The system may be integrated with medical monitoring or fitness tracking systems. Delivery of the compounds may be distributed over the course of a day at selected or adjusted doses to be safe and effective for their specific modality. For example, appetite suppressants may be delivered during periods of the day when cravings occur, satiation compounds may be delivered to coincide with meals, and metabolic stimulators may be delivered at times to optimally increase metabolism based on caloric balance. Control factors may also be predictive to prevent the onset of hunger.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for joint attention estimation using structured light patterns. In some examples, a structured light pattern including spatial and/or temporal variations may be projected onto an area that may contain one or more locations, objects, or personnel of interest. The spatial and/or temporal variations of the structured light pattern may encode identifiers for different regions within the area. When a video camera or other video capture device captures video data of a particular region within the area, the video data may include the structured light spatial and/or temporal variations that encode an identifier for the particular region. Subsequently, the encoded region identifier may be extracted from the video data, for example by the video capture device or a network center, and used to identify the region associated with the video data. Extracted region identifiers may be used to perform joint attention estimation in real-time.
