  • Publication number: 20240135960
    Abstract: The disclosure provides technology for enhancing the ability of a computing device to detect when a user has discontinued reading a text source. An example method includes receiving audio data comprising a spoken word associated with a text source, comparing the audio data with data of the text source, determining, based on the comparing, whether a segment of the audio data corresponds to a location of the text source, and responsive to determining that the segment of the audio data does not correspond to a location of the text source, transmitting a signal indicating that a user has discontinued reading the text source, the signal causing to cease the comparing of the audio data with the data of the text source.

  • Patent number: 11918108
    Abstract: A modular shelving unit includes a base plate that is planar in an expanded configuration. A first foldable wall is connected to a first side of the base plate. A second foldable wall is connected to a second side of the base plate. The first foldable wall has a first segment and a second segment, and the second foldable wall has a third segment and a fourth segment. The second and fourth segments are rotatable about a respective hinge to define an interior surface with its respective first or third segment when in the expanded configuration. Shelves extend from the interior surfaces in the expanded configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the second and fourth segments are rotated about their respective hinges out of planar with their respective first and third segments. Other embodiments of modular shelving units are described herein.

  • Patent number: 10758455
    Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a device for dispensing pills. The device comprises several dispensing chambers molded into the bottle rim, or fastened inside or outside the bottle. The chamber includes many radial projections defining discrete pill holding areas. The device comprises a dispensing cap secured and rotated uni-directionally or bi-directionally to the chambers, having a base, provided with a window. The cap comprises uneven surfaces on the holding surface to allow the pills in the chambers to oscillate up and down thereby causing a mixing action. The cap is mounted outside the bottle. The device further comprises a rotating central hub formed on an inner side of the base for delimiting an inner boundary of the pill holding areas. The cap is rotated to align the window with the pill holding areas to dispense a pill when the bottle is inverted or angled upside-down.

  • Patent number: 10046717
    Abstract: A modular video assembly is mounted on an exterior surface of a vehicle and includes an elongated housing and a camera. The housing presents spaced apart housing ends and a chamber between the housing ends. The camera is removably mounted at least partly within the chamber. The housing presents an inboard mounting surface that extends longitudinally between the housing ends, with the mounting surface operable to be opposed to the exterior surface when the assembly is mounted to the vehicle. The housing presents an outboard exposed surface that extends longitudinally to at least partly cover the chamber and is located outboard of the mounting surface. At least part of the exposed surface projects outboard of the camera to protect the camera when the assembly is mounted to the vehicle.
