  • Publication number: 20230367392
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can render selectable suggestion(s) at a display interface of computerized glasses, and can adapt the suggestions according to changes to a gaze direction of the user and/or other further inputs from the user. The selectable suggestion(s) can be initially rendered based on contextual data that may be associated with a user who is directing their gaze into an environment that includes different environmental features. Certain environmental features can be identified by the automated assistant as being predicted to be of interest to the user and—when a user expresses interest in a particular feature—the selectable suggestions can be adapted. Interest of the user in the particular environmental feature can be expressed by redirecting their gaze towards the particular feature and/or providing further input relevant to the particular feature.

  • Publication number: 20120199712
    Abstract: Embodiments of the cap display apparatuses, systems and methods allow various products and goods such as caps, hats and other fashion and sports accessories to be mounted and displayed without having the mount primarily visible relative to the product being displayed. One cap display embodiment includes a housing with a base, an upper element connected to the base, a lower element connected to the base, a tensioning element for biasing the lower element towards the upper element, and a fastener connected to the base for fastening the housing to another element. The tensioning element holds the lower element against the upper element so that a cap or other item being displayed can be held between the upper element and the lower element in a fixed position.

  • Patent number: 8083720
    Abstract: A device, system and method deliver an agent to a soft mass, such as an area of the body, and more specifically the brain. One aspect includes creation of one or more channels, tunnels or grooves in tissue using a relatively small diameter, minimally-invasive stylet and then removing the stylet prior to infusion. The stylet-created channels become paths of increased hydraulic conductivity, through which the infusate will tend to flow and produce a predictable infusion pattern. Infusate will be carried into these channels with relatively low resistance, and then infuse outward from these channels into the surrounding tissue. By carefully positioning these channels, one can control and modify the preferred paths and duration of distribution.

  • Publication number: 20060125647
    Abstract: An aquarium liquid security system is provided. The system includes an aquarium tank, i.e., a plurality of transparent material sheets joined at the sheet edges, and a liquid detection sensor. The sensor is at least partially wrapped around the perimeter, and is electrically responsive to liquid. An alarm interface is connected to the sensor. In one aspect, the sensor includes a pair of electrically conductive ink traces printed on the outside surfaces of the transparent material sheets. In another aspect, the sensor includes a liquid-permeable strip of material, a pair of electrically conductive traces, and a liquid-permeable adhesive attaching the sensor to the perimeter outside surface. Examples of liquid-permeable materials include cardboard, burlap, cotton cloth, synthetic cloth, paper, or cheesecloth. Alternately, the sensors can be formed on the interior surfaces of the aquarium and used for the detection of a low level of water.
