Abstract: A thermometer includes one or more temperature sensors mounted on a housing. The one or more temperature sensors determine a temperature of at least one measurement site without contact. The non-contact thermometer displays an indicator to assist alignment of the one or more temperature sensors with the at least one measurement site, receives at least one measurement reading from the at least one measurement site, determines a temperature based on the at least one measurement reading, and displays the temperature on a display unit.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices that improve positions of objects structural representations according to hierarchical positioning. In one aspect, a method is provided that includes receiving a first representation of a structure, determining a second representation of the structure by aligning positions of objects within the first representation according to a hierarchy, and outputting the second representation. The alignment process can prioritize objects based on hierarchical importance, with structural elements like grid objects being positioned before other objects like structural core objects, interior walls, and other elements. The techniques may also include training one or more models based on differences between initial and aligned representations. Additional aspects are also discussed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a quick actions menu in an artificial reality (XR) environment that can be accessed by performing a hand gesture detected by an XR device which, in some implementations, can be detected without the use of controllers. Once the menu is open, the user can move her hand while performing the gesture to highlight a particular quick action and can release the gesture on a highlighted action to select the action. In some implementations, the user can drill down into an action on the menu by highlighting the action, then dragging the gesture off of the action away from the menu. To close the quick actions menu, the user can either A) move the gesture off the menu and release the gesture, B) rotate the wrist, or C) explicitly dismiss the menu, such as by using a voice command detected by the XR device.

Abstract: A method for determining a profile of an entity of interest, comprising interrogating a social media platform to determine a social media account corresponding to the entity of interest and generating a linked social network data structure linking the social media account corresponding to the entity of interest to one or more other social media accounts on the social media platform corresponding to other entities. The method further involves assigning an individual link measure to one or more of the individual links of the linked network data structure, the individual link measure based on an assessment of the one or more social media interactions upon which the individual link is based on and a profile of the entity of interest based on an aggregated measure based on the linked social network data structure comprising the individual link measures.

Abstract: A method for determining a risk profile of an entity of interest, comprising interrogating a social media platform to determine a social media account corresponding to the entity of interest and generating a linked social network data structure linking the social media account corresponding to the entity of interest to one or more other social media accounts on the social media platform corresponding to other entities, where an individual link is based on one or more social media interactions between the social media account corresponding to the entity of interest and each of the one or more other social media accounts corresponding to other entities.

Abstract: Method and systems for estimating and visualising a plurality of topics in a collection of documents, wherein the collection of documents comprises a plurality of words and each document comprises one or more of the plurality of words, the method comprising: performing two rounds of topic modelling to the collection of documents, wherein the first round of topic modelling estimates a plurality of topics associated with the collection of documents and each topic comprises one or more words, and the second round identifies a plurality of themes associated with the topics, wherein each theme comprises one or more topics; and visually representing the topics and themes to a user.
