Abstract: A wearable device, e.g., a smart watch, may be connected to a communication device, such as a mobile smart phone, via Bluetooth or other Near Field Communication (NFC). In particular, the wearable device may have a touch screen that may serve as an extended display and/or user input device of the communication device. For example, a user may receive payment related notifications on the wearable device. The user also may operate the wearable device to make and/or receive payments, view transaction history, view and/or accept offers from nearby merchants, view and/or check in to nearby stores and etc. Further, the wearable device also may allow the user to make payment transactions in extreme environments not suitable for the communication device, such as under water.

Abstract: A drone includes a motor, a noise receiver, a camera, a distance measurer, and a directed sound beam generator. The noise receiver is configured to detect a noise caused by the motor. The camera is configured to capture an image of an area when the drone is in the air. The distance measurer is configured to measure a distance between the drone and a particular point in the captured image. The directed sound beam generator is configured to emit a sound beam that is directed to a particular direction. The drone further includes a processor configured to analyze the detected noise to determine a frequency spectrum of the detected noise. The processor is further configured to analyze the captured image to identify a target, and cause the directed sound beam generator to emit a sound beam to actively cancel at least a portion of the noise directed to the target.

Abstract: Multilayer riblet appliques are disclosed. An example riblet applique includes a fluorosilicone riblet structure including riblet ridges and a base from which the riblet ridges extend, and a support layer proximate the fluorosilicone riblet structure. The support layer includes a vacuum-plasma-treated polymer film having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a polymer sub-layer proximate the second surface of the polymer film.
