  • Publication number: 20220100283
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a visual indicator for paused radar gestures. The techniques and systems use a radar field to enable an electronic device to accurately determine radar gestures, or other movement, by a user. Further, the electronic device can determine certain conditions that can make it difficult for the electronic device to properly determine the user's radar gestures. When the device includes an application that can be controlled using radar gestures (a radar-gesture application), and the conditions are present, the device can enter a gesture-paused mode. When the device enters this mode, the techniques provide a gesture-paused feedback element on a display, which lets the user know that there is at least one radar-gesture application available or running on the electronic device but that radar gestures cannot presently be used to control the application.

  • Publication number: 20220047291
    Abstract: A uterine fibroid tissue removal device includes an inner tube disposed within an outer tube and configured to be translated and rotated relative to the outer tube, and a separately formed unitary distal tip member attached to a distal end of the inner tube, such that the distal tip member translates and rotates relative to the outer tube along with the inner tube, wherein a distal facing open cutting end of the distal tip member in fluid communication with an axial lumen of the distal tip member translates across a tissue resection window in a sidewall of the outer tube so as to sever tissue extending therethrough, the distal tip member axial lumen being in fluid communication with an axial lumen of the inner tube, wherein an outer diameter of the distal tip member is greater than an outer diameter of the inner tube.

  • Patent number: 11222353
    Abstract: A virtual punch card rewards system is described. The system includes a user database that stores user information concerning a plurality of users, a network interface configured to communicate data over a network, and a processing circuit comprising a processor and memory. The memory is structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processing circuit to receive transaction information concerning a payment account belonging to a user, determine a reward category for the user based on the retrieved transaction information, generate virtual punch card parameters for the user based on the determined reward category, and transmit, by the network interface over the network, virtual punch card content to a computing device associated with the user, the virtual punch card content including a first graphical interface configured to present the user with at least one of the generated virtual punch card parameters.

  • Patent number: 11210799
    Abstract: A camera may capture an image of a scene and use the image to generate a first and a second subpixel image of the scene. The pair of subpixel images may be represented by a first set of subpixels and a second set of subpixels from the image respectively. Each pixel of the image may include two green subpixels that are respectively represented in the first and second subpixel images. The camera may determine a disparity between a portion of the scene as represented by the pair of subpixel images and may estimate a depth map of the scene that indicates a depth of the portion relative to other portions of the scene based on the disparity and a baseline distance between the two green subpixels. A new version of the image may be generated with a focus upon the portion and with the other portions of the scene blurred.

  • Publication number: 20210342008
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition with context-sensitive gating and other context-sensitive controls. Sensor data from a proximity sensor (108) and/or a movement sensor (108) produces a context of a user equipment (102). The techniques and systems enable the user equipment (102) to recognize contexts when a radar system (104) can be unreliable and should not be used for gesture-recognition, enabling the user equipment (102) to automatically disable or “gate” the output from the radar system (104) according to context. The user equipment (102) prevents the radar system (104) from transitioning to a high-power state (1910) to perform gesture-recognition in contexts where radar data detected by the radar system (104) is likely due to unintentional input. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition.

  • Patent number: 11156540
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for determining characteristic parameters of the dimensions of nanoparticles in suspension in a liquid. The device emits an incident light beam that is linearly polarized along a polarization axis; a detecting unit comprising a measurement arm that is rotatable with respect to an axis of rotation, the detecting unit comprising first and second detection channels that are separated by a polarization-splitting element arranged in the measurement arm; a fixed sample holder receives a container of cylindrical symmetry of the sample, an axis of symmetry of the container being coincident with the axis of rotation of the measurement arm; and a control unit. The polarization-splitting element of the measurement arm is configured to simultaneously send, over each of the first and second detection channels, respectively, a first and second polarized component of the beam scattered by the sample.
