Abstract: Static OEM hard-wired in-vehicle infotainment system method to capture and transmit vehicle route data for a defined geo-fenced area. Collects and transmits vehicle data to cloud server and maps geo-fenced area using GPS coordinates to produce report and vehicle route onto infotainment screen. Collective summery report and graphical display for all vehicles within a defined GPS Geo-Fenced area can also be displayed. Additional methodology includes GPS Proximity Based Advertising and Infotainment System Advertising. GPS Proximity Based Advertising defines radius around a GPS location, displaying advertisement when vehicle enters the radius. Infotainment System Advertising receives advertisement via software or firmware, onto the OEM hard-wired in-vehicle infotainment system memory.

Abstract: A vaporizer device is described in which a first air pathway extends from an inlet to a heating element. The heating element is configured to heat air from the first air pathway to produce heated air. A second air pathway extends from the heating element to a mouthpiece and is configured to carry the heated air. The first air pathway is configured to bring the air into thermal contact with at least one component in the second air pathway which absorbs heat from the heated air to heat air in the first air pathway and thereby reduce the energy needed to heat the air.

Abstract: A technique is described herein for determining a pose of at least one mobile controller. The technique involves using a transmitter to initially emit a magnetic field and/or electromagnetic radiation at an elevated-power level, with respect to a normal-use power level. A receiver detects the magnetic field and/or electromagnetic radiation, to provide received signals. A tracking component determines the pose of the controller based on the received signals. Thereafter, the technique transmits the magnetic field and/or electromagnetic radiation at the normal-use power level. In one implementation, a head-mounted display (HMD) uses the above-summarized technique to find the controller when the user initially dons the HMD. This is useful because the controller may be invisible to the user who dons the HMD because it is out-of-range with respect to the normal-use operating space of the HMD.

Abstract: Compositions include highly-concentrated Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor (A1PI) in a concentration greater than or equal to 100 mg/ml. Pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared from these compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions can be suitable for subcutaneous administration. The highly-concentrated A1PI solutions can be obtained by single-pass tangential flow filtration (SPTFF).

Abstract: A pre-pack assembly for use with an air gun that fires non-lethal projectiles using a gas canister and for use with a magazine that is removably insertable into the air gun, the pre-pack includes a pre-pack housing that defines a first compartment containing non-lethal projectiles and a second compartment containing the gas canister, where inserting the pre-pack into a chamber of the magazine assembly fluidly connects the gas canister with the magazine and positions the non-lethal projectiles in a feeder that individually feeds non-lethal projectiles into the air gun when the magazine is inserted into the air gun.

Abstract: A system determines the transmission strength of the magnetic field signal. The magnetic field signal is transmitted from a first magnetic-sensor device to a second magnetic-sensor device. The system then determines a first projected distance between the first magnetic-sensor device and the second magnetic-sensor device. Based at least in part on the first projected distance, the system calculates an adjusted transmission strength for the magnetic field signal. The system then causes the first magnetic-sensor device to transmit an adjusted magnetic field signal. The adjusted magnetic field signal comprises the adjusted transmission strength. The system receives, from the second magnetic-field device, the adjusted magnetic field signal. Based at least in part upon the received adjusted magnetic field signal, the system, computes a first pose of the first magnetic-sensor device in relation to the second magnetic-sensor device.

Abstract: An auto-complete method for a spoken complete value entry is provided. A processor receives a possible complete value entry having a unique subset, prompts a user to speak the spoken complete value entry, receives a spoken subset of the spoken complete value entry, compares the spoken subset with the unique subset of the possible complete value entry, and automatically completes the spoken complete value entry to match the possible complete value entry if the unique subset matches the spoken subset. The spoken subset has a predetermined minimum number of characters.

Abstract: A technique is described herein for using a parent computing device and at least one companion computing device to simultaneously interact with an environment. In one implementation, the parent computing device progressively builds parent map information through its interaction with the environment. The technique leverages the parent map information to identify a current pose of the companion computing device. In one case, for instance, the parent computing device sends the parent map information to the companion computing device, and the companion computing device determines its current pose based on the parent map information in conjunction with sensor information collected by the companion computing device.
