Abstract: Methods and systems for secure pass-set entry are disclosed. In one example, an authenticator device is configured to generate a pass-set menu to output in visual format on the display. An I/O device is configured to output audio corresponding to the pass-set menu to the user. A user input interface is configured to receive user actions to navigate the pass-set menu and receive user menu selections.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for capacitive sensing are disclosed. In one example, a conductive material is arranged on the mobile device exterior surface outside of a capacitive coupling area undesirably coupling underlying electrodes beneath the surface.

Abstract: A voice activity detection apparatus having a capacitive sensor and a voice activity detector sensor. The voice activity detector sensor detects vibration of human tissue associated with user speech. Utilization of the voice activity detector sensor output is tied to the output of the capacitive sensor, where the capacitive sensor detects whether it is in contact with user skin.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for user state detection are disclosed. In one example, a body worn device microphone is enabled to receive sound to determine a user state. The method includes receiving a sound signal from the body worn device microphone. The method further includes identifying a user state from the sound signal.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing a framework with a common set of domain-specific entity identifier types that object models representing conceptually similar entities from a domain can use to correlate to model-specific object instances. A particular model-specific object instance of a particular one of the object models can be retrieved using a common set of domain-specific entity identifier types. An instance of a particular domain-specific entity identifier type can be retrieved from a corresponding one of the model-specific object instances. One or more extensibility mechanisms allow third parties to extend the set of domain-specific entity identifier types.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for power management are disclosed. In one example, proximity of link status of a wireless communication device is used to determine whether a power conservation mode is implemented.

Abstract: A system and method of providing edit and continue support in a software program debugging environment. “Edit and continue” support allows a user (e.g., programmer and/or developer) to update the code and/or data structure(s) of an executing program while it is running. After the user has finished editing their code and resumes execution, an integrated development environment (IDE) propagates the edit(s) into a common language runtime (CLR) environment before continuing. Therefore, from the CLR environment's perspective, an edit is a block of intermediate language code (IL) and/or metadata that is inserted into a running process. Moreover, The IDE can facilitate: determining “legality” of an edit; building the edit; sending the edit to the CLR environment; and/or, facilitating the CLR environment switch execution to the edited code.
