Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product imitate a typewriter. A top horizontal row of a virtual typing sheet is presented on an upper portion of an extendable display. Keystrokes received by a text input device are monitored and corresponding characters are presented across the top horizontal row of virtual typing sheet. In response to a next line transitioning condition (e.g., reaching an end of a current row or detection of a return keystroke received via the text input device), the extendable display is triggered to upwardly extend by an increment corresponding to vertical dimensions of a line spacing and font size of the characters associated with the top horizontal row. Presentation of the virtual typing sheet and the top horizontal row at the corresponding line spacing are upwardly adjusted to insert a new lateral row for presenting keystrokes.

Abstract: In aspects of device access control based on detected user state, a mobile device has a display device to display visual content for viewing in a secondary user mode of operation of the mobile device. The mobile device implements an access control module to detect a user state of a user accessing the mobile device in the secondary user mode. The access control module can then restrict the display of the visual content on the display device based on the user state being a detected first state, or allow the display of the visual content on the display device based on the user state being a detected second state.

Abstract: Generally, an artificial intelligence model is trained based on input from a user to identify preferences of the user for media content, such as images. Camera settings are automatically applied to media content based on the identified preferences of the user so that the user is automatically presented with media content displayed in accordance with his or her preferences.

Abstract: An apparatus for light delivery to magneto-optical trap (MOT) system utilizes only planar optical diffraction devices including a planar-integrated-circuit PIC and a metasurface MS. When MOT is based on the use of a diffraction grating, a grating chip is additionally employed to launch and manipulate light for laser cooling. Bridging the gap between the sub-micrometer-scale guided mode on the PIC and the centimeter-scale beam needed for laser cooling, a magnification of the mode area by about 1010 is demonstrated using an on-chip extreme-mode-converter to launch a Gaussian mode into free space from a PIC-waveguide and a beam-shaping, polarization-dependent MS to form a diverging laser beam with a flat-top spatial profile, which efficiently illuminates the grating chip without loss of light.

Abstract: In aspects of active noise cancellation (ANC) adjustment, a mobile device is in communication with a headset that has ANC. The mobile device and/or the headset implements a noise cancellation manager to detect that the headset is in communication with the mobile device, and monitor for contextual conditions associated with the ANC of the headset. The noise cancellation manager is implemented to detect one or more contextual triggers from the contextual conditions, where the contextual triggers indicate an ANC adjustment scenario. Based on detecting the one or more contextual triggers and/or the ANC adjustment scenario, the noise cancellation manager adjusts the ANC of the headset from a first level of the ANC to a second level of the ANC, where the first level of the ANC provides a different amount of the ANC relative to the second level of the ANC.

Abstract: Techniques for activity tracking for multiple users on a device are described. For instance, the described techniques can be implemented to detect that a first user is in possession of a client device and to track physical activity of the first user as part of an activity log of the first user. The techniques can detect, via sensor data, that possession of the client device switches from the first user to a second user, and track physical activity of the second user as part of an activity log of the second user. In implementations the techniques can track physical activity of multiple users via a single device.

When the first mobile device receives an authorization code from a remote device associated with the second application, the first mobile device transmits the authorization code to the second mobile device. When the first mobile device receives a request for a third application associated with the second application, the first mobile device transmits an interface of the third application to the second mobile device.

Abstract: An electronic device, method and computer program product provide clear video feeds while operating within a data bandwidth limitation. The electronic system monitors eye gaze direction of a local participant viewing a display and positioned in a field of view of the at least one image capturing device. The electronic device receives, via a communications subsystem, and presents, at the display, more than one video feeds of respective participants in a video communication session. In response to determining that at least one video feed is not being gazed at by the local participant, the electronic system captures a video snippet of each of the at least one video feed and presents the video snippet within a participant tile in place of the respective video feed. The electronic system presents a live video feed in a corresponding participant tile that is being viewed by the local participant.
