  • Patent number: 12067092
    Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the processor to present, on a display and in virtual space, at least first and second three-dimensional (3D) objects to which user input is directable in a particular sequence to provide a passcode associated with the device. The instructions are also executable to identify receipt of the passcode based on detection of first user input directed in the particular sequence to the first and second 3D objects. The instructions are then executable to authenticate a user responsive to the identification. In various examples, the virtual space may form part of an augmented reality presentation, a mixed reality presentation, and/or a virtual reality presentation.

  • Patent number: 11938045
    Abstract: Breathable residual-limb system that admits air and allows sweat to evaporate from the surface of the residual limb. In an embodiment, the system comprises a liner sock to be worn on the residual limb, and comprising air-permeable textile forming a substantially cylindrical portion that is closed on a distal end and open on a proximal end and comprising an internal surface and an external surface. The liner sock further comprises a friction-interface material that covers only a portion of the internal surface of the air-permeable textile, such that, when worn on the residual limb, the friction-interface material contacts a surface of the residual limb, and an uncovered portion of the air-permeable textile which the friction-interface material does not cover allows air to pass between an external environment of the liner sock and the surface of the residual limb.

  • Publication number: 20240019979
    Abstract: In one aspect, at least one device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to execute a first application (app) at the first device, where the first app is configured for converting actions in three dimensional (3D) space into actions in two dimensional (2D) space. The instructions are also executable to identify a first 3D action transpiring in 3D space, use the first app to convert the first 3D action into a first 2D action, and provide the first 2D action to a second app executing at the first device. The second app is different from the first app.
