  • Publication number: 20260044008
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a face model for a user of a head-mounted device are disclosed. The head-mounted device can include one or more eye cameras configured to image the face of the user while the user is putting the device on or taking the device off. The images obtained by the eye cameras may be analyzed using a stereoscopic vision technique, a monocular vision technique, or a combination, to generate a face model for the user. The face model can be used to generate a virtual image of at least a portion of the user's face, for example to be presented as an avatar.

  • Patent number: 10489473
    Abstract: A digital magazine server receives user interactions with content items presented to users via various digital magazines. The digital magazine server retrieves interactions associated with a content item that are also associated with multiple digital magazines. From the retrieved interactions, the digital magazine server generates information describing global interactions with a content item that are associated with multiple digital magazines. The digital magazine server may filter interactions with the content item that are associated with different digital magazines based on characteristics of the interactions and the information describing global interactions with the content item generated based on the filtered interactions.

  • Publication number: 20190087973
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wearable display system for capturing retraining eye images of an eye of a user for retraining a neural network for eye tracking. The system captures retraining eye images using an image capture device when user interface (UI) events occur with respect to UI devices displayed at display locations of a display. The system can generate a retraining set comprising the retraining eye images and eye poses of the eye of the user in the retraining eye images (e.g., related to the display locations of the UI devices) and obtain a retrained neural network that is retrained using the retraining set.

  • Patent number: 9940220
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for controlling a protocol analysis device when a code execution breakpoint is encountered. The method includes displaying computer code in a user interface of a software development program. The computer code includes a breakpoint. The computing system receives user input to cause a first hardware device to execute the computer code. The computing system instructs the first hardware device to execute the computer code. The computing system instructs a protocol analysis device that is in communication with the computing system to begin recording data that is transmitted between the first hardware device and a second hardware device. The computing system determines that execution of the computer code has reached the breakpoint and as a result instructs the protocol analysis device to start or stop recording the data.

  • Patent number: 9766305
    Abstract: An apparatus includes groups of magnetic tunnel junctions, where the magnetic tunnel junctions in each group are arranged in rows, the magnetic tunnel junctions in each row are connected in series, and the rows are connected in parallel. The apparatus further includes a first conductive layer including conductive interconnects, a second conductive layer including straps, and a third conductive layer including field lines, each field line configured to generate a magnetic field for configuring an operating point of a corresponding subset of the magnetic tunnel junctions in each group based on a current flow through each field line. The magnetic tunnel junctions in each group are disposed between and connected to a corresponding one of the conductive interconnects and a corresponding one of the straps. The second conductive layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the third conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 9728233
    Abstract: An apparatus has magnetic logic units a logic circuit configured to receive a serial input bit stream at an input node. Individual bits of data from the serial input bit stream are serially written into individual magnetic logic units without buffering the serial input bit stream between the input node and the individual magnetic logic units. Individual bits of data from individual magnetic logic units are serially read to produce a serial output bit stream on an output node without buffering the serial output bit stream between the individual magnetic logic units and the output node.
