Abstract: A machine-implemented method includes establishing a virtual or augmented reality entity, and establishing a state for the entity having a state time and state properties including a state spatial arrangement. The data entity and state are stored, and are subsequently received and outputted at a time other than the state time so as to exhibit a “virtual time machine” functionality. An apparatus includes a processor, a data store, and an output. A data entity establisher, a state establisher, a storer, a data entity receiver, a state receiver, and an outputter are instantiated on the processor.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses to recognize actors during normal system operation. The method includes defining actor input such as hand gestures, executing and detecting input, and identifying salient features of the actor therein. A model is defined from salient features, and a data set of salient features and/or model are retained, and may be used to identify actors for other inputs. A command such as “unlock” may be executed in response to actor input. Parameters may be applied to further define where, when, how, etc. actor input is executed, such as defining a region for a gesture. The apparatus includes a processor and sensor, the processor defining actor input, identifying salient features, defining a model therefrom, and retaining a data set. A display may also be used to show actor input, a defined region, relevant information, and/or an environment. A stylus or other non-human actor may be used.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for searching images. An image is received and a first search path is defined for the image. The first search path may be a straight line, horizontal, and/or near the bottom of the image, and/or may begin at one edge and move toward the other. A transition is defined for the image, distinguishing a feature to be found. The image is searched for the transition along the first search path. When the transition is detected, the image is searched along a second search path that follows the transition. The apparatus includes an image sensor and a processor. The sensor is adapted to obtain images. The processor is adapted to define a first search path and a transition for the image, to search for the transition along the first search path, and to search along a second search path upon detecting the transition, following the transition.

Abstract: In the method, a processor generates a three dimensional interface with at least one virtual object, defines a stimulus of the interface, and defines a response to the stimulus. The stimulus is an approach to the virtual object with a finger or other end-effector to within a threshold of the virtual object. When the stimulus is sensed, the response is executed. Stimuli may include touch, click, double click, peg, scale, and swipe gestures. The apparatus includes a processor that generates a three dimensional interface with at least one virtual object, and defines a stimulus for the virtual object and a response to the stimulus. A display outputs the interface and object. A camera or other sensor detects the stimulus, e.g. a gesture with a finger or other end-effector, whereupon the processor executes the response. The apparatus may be part of a head mounted display.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrochemical cell includes transferring an anode semi-solid suspension to an anode compartment defined at least in part by an anode current collector and an separator spaced apart from the anode collector. The method also includes transferring a cathode semi-solid suspension to a cathode compartment defined at least in part by a cathode current collector and the separator spaced apart from the cathode collector. The transferring of the anode semi-solid suspension to the anode compartment and the cathode semi-solid to the cathode compartment is such that a difference between a minimum distance and a maximum distance between the anode current collector and the separator is maintained within a predetermined tolerance. The method includes sealing the anode compartment and the cathode compartment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a remote network management system for coupling a series of remote domain servers, file/print servers, headless servers, network appliances, serial IT equipment, switches, routers, firewalls, security interfaces, application servers, load balancers, and environmental controls to one or more user workstations allowing for selective access of the remote devices. The remote devices are all connected to a remote management unit which interfaces each user workstation to the remote devices. The power supply of each remote device is similarly connected to the remote management unit through a controllable power supply. An option menu containing a list of all of the remote devices allows a user to select and operate any of the remote devices from the workstation. The option menu is also utilized to selectively control the power to the remote devices, servers, and computers.

Abstract: A method, storage server, and computer readable medium for off-loading star-join operations from a host information processing system to a storage server. At least a first and second set of keys from a first and second dimension table, respectively are received from a host system. Each of the first and second set of keys is associated with at least one fact table. A set of locations associated with a set of foreign key indexes are received from the host system. A set of fact table indexes are traversed. At least a first set of Row Identifiers (“RIDs”) associated with the first set of keys and at least a second set of RIDs associated with the second set of keys are identified. An operation is performed on the first and second sets of RIDs to identify an intersecting set of RIDs. The intersecting set of RIDs are then stored.
