Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for automatic creation of a customized avatar animation of a user. An example method commences with receiving production parameters and creating, based on the production parameters, a multidimensional array of a plurality of blank avatar animations. Each blank avatar animation has a predetermined number of frames and a plurality of features associated with each frame. The method further includes receiving user parameters including body dimensions, hair, and images of a face of a user. The method continues with selecting, from the plurality of blank avatar animations, two blank avatar animations closest to the user based on the body dimensions. The method further includes interpolating corresponding frames of the two blank avatar animations to produce an interpolated avatar animation. The method continues with compositing the face and the hair with the interpolated avatar animation using a machine learning technique to render the customized avatar animation.

Abstract: Methods and apparati for using an avatar (2) to help produce a digital image representation (17) of a body (1). A method embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of capturing (21) measurements of the body (1) and combining the measurements with an avatar (2) to produce a set of avatar images (11); invoking (22) a neural network (3) to generate a set of photorealistic face and hair images (12); combining (26) the avatar images (11) and the face and hair images (12) to produce a set of composite images (16); and converting (27) the set of composite images (16) into a set of final images (17) representing the body (1).

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and simultaneously displaying multiple photorealistic digital avatars wearing garments.

Abstract: In one implementation, a computer-implemented method of establishing a secure wireless communication connection between an insulin pump device and a mobile computing device includes receiving, at a mobile computing device, a device identifier for the insulin pump device; obtaining, by the mobile computing device, device information for the insulin pump device from a remote server system using the device identifier; establishing, by the mobile computing device, a secure wireless connection with the insulin pump device using, at least in part, the device information; authenticating, by the mobile computing device, the insulin pump device based on asymmetric key verification using the public key for the insulin pump; and securely communicating, by the mobile computing device and in response to authenticating the insulin pump device, information with the insulin pump device.

Abstract: A system and method for protecting against corruption of data stored in a peripheral storage device. The peripheral storage device is communicatively coupled with a host computer. The peripheral storage device includes at least memory and a controller. Data from the host computer is stored to a first portion of the peripheral storage device memory. The controller backs up some or all of the data to a second portion of the data to a second portion of the peripheral storage device memory. The controller restores some or all of the data from the second portion of the peripheral storage device memory to the first portion of the peripheral storage device memory.

Abstract: A detachable storage device can comprise a ram cache, a device controller, and a storage system. The ram cache may be configured to receive data from a digital device. The device controller may be configured to transfer the data from the ram cache to the storage system. The storage system may be configured to store the data at a predetermined event.

Abstract: A detachable storage device can comprise a memory, circuitry, and a user interface. The memory may comprise a storage partition. The circuitry may be configured to authorize access to the storage partition to a digital device when the detachable storage device is coupled to the digital device based, at least in part, on a user code. The user interface may be configured to receive the user code while the detachable storage device is within a detached state and provide the user code to the circuitry to allow access to the storage partition.

Abstract: An administrator of an enterprise can recover a user secure storage device in conjunction with a third-party service without the administrator knowing a user secure storage device password. The administrator secure storage device is communicatively coupled with a host computer. A user secure storage device is communicatively coupled with a host computer. The administrator secure storage device is authenticated to the third-party service. One or more decryptions are performed on an encrypted portion of data with an enterprise private key and a shared administrator private key to produce information associated with the user secure storage device password. The administrator is logged into the user secure storage device using the information associated with the user secure storage device password without the administrator knowing the user secure storage device password.

Abstract: Systems and method for forming a secure channel between a server and a portable storage device coupled to a host computer are presented. A message sequence is exchanged between the server and the portable storage device. The message sequence may pass transparently through the host computer to the portable storage device. The server and the portable storage device may be authenticated based on the message sequence. A secure channel may be established between the server and the portable storage device when the server and the portable storage device are authenticated. As such, the host computer, as well as any other interstitial device between the server and the portable storage device, cannot access information transferred via the secure channel.
