Abstract: A method includes while displaying a rig on the display, detecting a gesture that corresponds to a request to manipulate the rig. The method includes in response to detecting the gesture, obtaining, via the one or more sensors, interaction data that characterizes an interaction of a user of the electronic device in a physical environment of the electronic device. The method includes manipulating the rig in accordance with a first manipulation when the interaction data satisfies a first interaction criterion. The method includes manipulating the rig in accordance with a second manipulation when the interaction data satisfies a second interaction criterion.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of producing high purity pentagalloyl glucose (PGG), analogues or derivatives thereof, at least 99.9% pure, by washing with dimethyl ether. The PGG may be provided in a kit, including a hydrolyzer for dissolving the PGG and a saline solution. Also disclosed herein is a device for delivery of a therapeutic solution to a blood vessel. The device may be a catheter having an upstream balloon and a downstream balloon. The upstream balloon may be expanded to anchor the catheter and occlude antegrade blood flow. The downstream balloon may be expanded to occlude retrograde blood flow, creating a sealed volume within the blood vessel. The downstream balloon may have pores configured to deliver the therapeutic solution into the sealed volume or a portion of the sealed volume The downstream balloon may be expanded by an expansion of a balloon disposed inside the downstream balloon.

Abstract: The disclosed inventive concept provides a crushable air duct having formed thereon a series of strategically positioned and patterned crack-initiating grooves. The grooves allow the air duct to be crushed in an impact event and a specified impact force, thereby protecting adjacent and higher cost under hood components from damage. In an impact event, the series of grooves allows the cracks in the air duct to readily propagate throughout the pattern in a controlled and predictable manner. The crushable air duct is formed from a rigid polymerized material. The duct includes an inlet and an outlet. The grooves are formed on either or both the exterior surface and the interior surface of the duct. Some of the grooves extend generally between the inlet and the outlet. These grooves are preferably parallel. Other grooves are circumferentially formed around the duct. At least some of the parallel and circumferential grooves intersect.

Abstract: The physical, expandable, customizing, configuring component chassis for laptops, tablets, notebooks, and hybrid notebooks transforms literally. The case is in three main parts: the top, upper lid, the middle, inner cover, and bottom housing. This removable upper lid houses the display screen on the inside and the solar cells on the back of the lid. The next section is the slim, narrow, middle, inner unit which holds the speakers, mouse pads, keyboards, LDC readout, small display screen, motherboards, expansion cards, and controller cards. It is detachable from the top or bottom section of the case forming a diversified case. The bottom of the case has the physical, drawer like, expandable, slidable ends to the right and left of the front of the case and knockout panels, which are for mounting the face of the peripherals. A part of the bottom will be the unique sliding ends, snap-in components mounting to the removable mounting board. The mounting board will be screwed in to be secure.
