Abstract: A depth sensor receives depth data indicative of a distance from the depth sensor to a three-dimensional spatial zone. The depth data is based on an in-focus status of a projection of the three-dimensional spatial zone onto a multi-pixel sensing zone of an imaging sensor. The three-dimensional spatial zone is one of at least two distinct three-dimensional spatial zones. The multi-pixel sensing zone is one of at least two distinct multi-pixel sensing zones of the imaging sensor. Object data of an object residing in at least the three-dimensional spatial zone is received. Fused data is generated. The fused data comprises the depth data, and the object data.

Abstract: An infuser comprises a container, at least one substance bounded by the container, honey in a semi-solid state bounded by the container, and a sealing substance. The container comprises a flexible material with pores. The sealing substance comprises dried honey, is disposed in the pores of the material, and has a higher melting point than the honey in a semi-solid state. The container and sealing substance are configured to resist substantial movement of the honey in a semi-solid state and the at least one substance through the pores of the material until the sealing substance reaches a temperature above the melting point of the honey in a semi-solid state.

Abstract: A depth sensor comprises at least one imaging sensor, at least one multifocal lens, and a focus analyzer. The depth sensor analyzes the in-focus status of electromagnetic radiation, directed by the multifocal lens(es) onto sensing zone(s) of the imaging sensor(s) from spatial zone(s) in a measurement field, to detect the presence of object(s) in the spatial zone(s).

Abstract: A motion sensor comprises sensor(s), focus analyzer(s) and displacement processor(s). The sensor(s) may be configured to acquire at least one set of spatiotemporal measurements of at least two distinct focus zones. The focus analyzer(s) may be configured to process the spatiotemporal measurements set(s) to determine an in-focus status of distinct focus zone(s). The displacement processor(s) may be configured to generate object displacement vector(s), based at least in part, on a sequence of in-focus status indicative of object(s) moving between at least two of the distinct focus zones. An alert module may be employed to activate an alert in response to displacement vector(s) exceeding a threshold.

Abstract: Moving and/or still image(s) are aligned to multiple display devices. One or more display devices may be connected to a system using a variety of communicative connections. One or more imaging devices may be used to capture images of a plurality of display devices while the display devices display one or more unique identifiers. The captured image(s) are processed to determine the location of one or more of the connected display devices. Portions of an overall image may be distributed to one or more of the connected display devices to display the overall image across the display device(s). Location information for one or more display devices may be updated periodically, which may update the portion of an image displayed on one or more connected display devices.
