Abstract: Approaches are described for rendering augmented reality overlays on an interface displaying the active field of view of a camera. The interface can display to a user an image or video, for example, and the overlay can be rendered over, near, or otherwise positioned with respect to any text or other such elements represented in the image. The overlay can have associated therewith at least one function or information, and when an input associated with the overlay is selected, the function can be performed (or caused to be performed) by the portable computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods of verifying ownership of content can receive and process requests for access to digital content associated with the items. Verifying ownership of content can include receiving, from a device, an image of a first portion of an item. The item can be a book, music disc, movie disc, software disc, or other item having associated digital content. The current location of the device can be transmitted with the image to verify that the device is not in a prohibited location. A comparison of the image received from the device and the current location of the device to verification data associated with the requested digital content can be processed to verify ownership of the physical item. Upon verifying ownership, access to digital content associated with the physical item can be granted on a permanent basis or a temporary basis.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for mobile augmented reality are provided. In certain embodiments, a first image is acquired at a device. Information corresponding to at least one second image matched with the first image is obtained from a server. A displayed image on the device is augmented with the obtained information.

Abstract: Electrical lead wire connection to a tape electrode is disclosed. Such electrodes are used for transmitting electrical signals through skin. The tape electrode includes a porous substrate material carrying a conductive layer comprised of finely divided silver metal suspended in a "dry" adhesive. An electrical lead wire is connected to the conductive layer of the tape electrode by a flat cover member having the same conductive layer on both sides thereof as is carried by the substrate of the tape electrode. One of the conductive layers of the cover member secures the lead wire to the conductive layer of the tape electrode. The other conductive layer of the cover member intimately contacts the skin along with the conductive layer of the tape electrode to provide for good electrical contact therewith when the tape electrode is applied thereto. The adhesive is normally "dry" and is activated at the time of application by a suitable solvent.
