Abstract: Enterprise organizations may use observational data to gather information about user experiences with their products and tools. For instance, patients with kidney failure may undergo dialysis treatment in order to remove toxins and excess fluids from their blood. The dialysis treatment may be performed at a hospital or clinic, or in a user's home, and the enterprise organization may use gathered information to gain understanding of user experiences with their dialysis machines and services. A user experience computing system gathers and processes user experience information from across the enterprise organization. Using stored observation data (e.g., surveys, studies etc.) in its smallest common form, the computing system may use this data as building blocks for creating more complex data objects (e.g. journey matrices and/or empathy gardens) using inputs from multiple different sources, and to facilitate presenting this information in an effective and empathetic way to product developers.

Abstract: An eartip includes a first portion that defines a cavity for receiving an earbud and an aperture. The eartip also includes a second portion that overlies the aperture and is formed of an electrically conductive material. An electrically conductive plug has a first end disposed within the aperture and a second end is coupled to the second portion to provide an electrically conductive path between the second portion and the cavity.

Abstract: A relaxation mask includes: a main body that defines a pair of eye cavities; and a light diffuser. The light diffuser includes a first lens that is disposed within a first one of the eye cavities. A first ledge is disposed along a top edge of the first lens and extends outwardly therefrom. A first light emitting component is supported on the first ledge and is configured to fire downward into the first lens.

Abstract: A relaxation mask includes: a main body that defines a pair of eye cavities; wiring; an earpiece that is coupled to the main body via the wiring; and a spring configured to bias the earpiece towards the main body.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for selecting a finish for applying to an item. The apparatus includes a flexible translucent sheet, and at least one semi-translucent color applied to the translucent sheet such that a surface to which the translucent sheet is attached is visible through the translucent sheet and the semi-translucent color. The system includes the apparatus and a protective laminate surface covering the at least one semi-translucent color. The method includes providing a plurality of translucent sheets each having at least one semi-translucent color, examining an item to determine the type of finish of the item, selecting a flexible translucent sheet according to the finish of the item, conforming and affixing the selected translucent sheet to the surface of the item, and viewing the surface of the item through the selected translucent sheet.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and program product for selecting at least a portion of an image, the selected portion comprising a surface of an item within the image, displaying a semi-transparent overlay over the selected portion of the image, the semi-transparent overlay representing a surface finish, and mathematically blending a plurality of pixels of the semi-transparent overlay with a plurality of pixels of the selected portion such that one or more characteristics of the surface are visible through the semi-transparent overlay.
