Abstract: To simplify assisting a user in their day-to-day activities, a communication for performing an action may be sent to a user in the form of a query, where the query includes the most likely set of choices for the action arranged in a group of dichotomous (e.g., yes/no) or multiple choice answers. In this manner, a user may respond to the query by simply selecting one of the dichotomous or multiple choice answers. Historical logs of past actions, responses, queries, and so forth, may be used to predict future user actions or needs, and to formulate future queries for sending to the user. These techniques may be implemented, for example, through a remote coordination server or directly through a user's personal electronics device.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method of filming a subject to be projected as a Pepper's Ghost image. The method may comprise filming a subject under a lighting arrangement having one or more front lights for illuminating a front of a subject and one or more backlights. The lights may be controlled such that the total brightness of the one or more front lights, as measured of the subject, is less than or approximately the same as the total brightness of the one or more backlights, as measured at the subject. The subject may be located directly above one or more floor lights such the subject is illuminated from below by the one or more floor lights.

Abstract: A server identifies landmarks associated with users as the users take part in trips or otherwise interact with a navigation system. The server causes presentation of the identified landmarks to the users during future trips, such as part of navigational directions along a route to a particular destination, or on a visible portion of a map user interface. Presentation of the user-specific landmarks allows the users with more context and thus the ability to better navigate.

Abstract: A method for determining a distance upper bound by a verifier device is described. The method includes measuring a first round-trip time to receive a first response from a target device corresponding to a first message sent to the target device. The method also includes measuring a second round-trip time to receive a second response from the target device corresponding to a second message sent to the target device, the second response being delayed by a processing time multiplier. The method further includes determining a transit time measurement based on the first round-trip time, the second round-trip time and the processing time multiplier. The method additionally includes determining the distance upper bound based on the transit time measurement.

Abstract: A receiver assembly (100) and data communications method are disclosed. In one arrangement, a receiver assembly (100) comprises a concentration stage (14). The concentration stage (14) receives radiation via an input surface (120) and outputs concentrated radiation via an output surface (122). The concentration stage comprises a wavelength converting member (6) that converts radiation to longer wavelength radiation. An optical element (102) is provided which is such that if a plane wave of radiation is incident on the optical element a spatial distribution of radiation derived from the plane wave on the input surface of the concentration stage varies as a function of a direction of incidence of the plane wave relative to the optical element. A plurality of detectors (42) are provided, each detecting radiation output from a different portion of the output surface of the concentration stage.

Abstract: A modular dovetail rail clamping assembly includes a polymer body and a metal fixed clamp component. A threaded fastener extends through the body and into the fixed clamp component to draw the fixed clamp component into engagement with the body. The fixed clamp component and the body have mating longitudinal ridge and groove structures which rigidly fix alignment of the fixed clamp component relative to the body when assembled. A metal movable clamp component opposes the fixed clamp. A threaded clamping fastener extends through the movable clamp component and the body, and is received into the fixed clamp component to draw the movable clamp component into engagement with the body. A removable, reversible crossbar extends transversely across the body between the fixed clamp component and the movable clamp component.

Abstract: An electronic weapon accessory system includes an electronic weapon accessory, such as a light, and a detachable mount with an integrated control switch. The electronic weapon accessory includes an electronic component, such as an LED, and a power source disposed within a housing. The electronic component and the battery are electrically connected with a circuit having electrical contacts exposed on an outer surface of the housing. The mount has a body with a clamp structure, a dome switch disposed on an outer surface of the mount body and a circuit having electrical contacts exposed on the outer surface of the mount body. Fasteners removably secure the mount body and accessory housing in assembled relation. When the electronic weapon accessory and mount are assembled, the accessory electrical contacts physically and electrically engaging the mount electrical contacts to complete an electronic control circuit and provide integrated control and operation of the electronic accessory.

This may include new NDEF record types plus a mapping of the relevant steps in the NFC authentication process where data is exchanged to the NDEF messages that are to be used in each step and new mechanisms by which errors can be indicated and detected by the devices.

Abstract: Improved feeding set connectors and cassettes are disclosed for use with peristaltic infusion pumps for safely delivering enteral nutritional fluids to a patient. The connectors provide an easy to use “pump-to-set” integration or “keying” system for specific reusable infusion pumps and their matching feeding sets, and can be utilized by medical professionals having various skill levels. The inventive feeding set cassettes can prevent accidental free flow of enteral fluids into a patient, even upon inadvertent release of the connector from the pumping mechanism.
