Abstract: An optical virtual push button touch panel includes a substrate (10), a light emitting member (11), a light guide plate (12), a light permeable plate (13), and a touch control sensing member (14). The substrate is provided with a mounting slot (100). The light emitting member is mounted in the substrate. The light guide plate defines multiple light guide structures (120). The light permeable plate is mounted on the substrate. The touch control sensing member is located between the light permeable plate and the light guide plate and defines multiple contact zones (140) aligning with the light guide structures respectively. One of the contact zones produces a coupling capacitance through the light permeable plate and drives the light emitting member to generate the light source, and one of the light guide structures converges the light source toward one of the contact zones.

Abstract: An authentication server enrolls a user’s mobile device as a trusted device with a vendor software after verifying the network ID of the user’s mobile device. The authentication server associates the network ID in an authentication entry with authentication information such as a push notification token and cryptographic key. Later, when the user attempts to log in to the vendor software, the authentication server may attempt to cryptographically authenticate the user. Otherwise, the authentication server may use the push notification token to transmit an OTP to the user’s mobile device as a push notification.

Abstract: A micro-scale mist teeth cleaning device includes console creating air under pressure and water under pressure. The console is connected to a mouthguard that is in the form of an outer ridge and an inner ridge with space in between for the teeth of a patient. The mouthguard includes a receptor for receiving the air and water under pressure, and has tubes for separately distributing the air under pressure and the water under pressure along the outer and inner ridges. The mouthguard further includes openings along the inner side of the outer ridge and the outer side of the inner ridge facing the location of the patient’s teeth when the mouthguard is installed in the patient’s mouth. The tubes for the pressurized air and the water intersect at each opening at an angle such that they act to eject a micro-scale mist from the opening onto the user’s teeth, thereby providing initial dental plaque removal.

Abstract: A circuit includes cross coupled invertors including a first invertor and a second inventor. The first invertor and the second invertor are cross coupled at a first data node and a second data node. An input unit is coupled between the cross-coupled invertors and a power node.

Abstract: A system and method for granting access to network resources through access credentials given to an agent process running on each computer or machine where resource requesters reside. The system extends a traditional token-granting authorization system to the agent processes, where each agent has administrative access to machine information. The agent uses that access to acquire detailed information about resource requesters. Requester qualifications defined by the system limit requester access to resources, and are enforced both by the agent and by the central system on the network resource server. Resource requesters ask for a token for resource use from the agent, not the central system. The agent uses its credentials to get a token from the central system and then return the token to qualified requesters.

Abstract: The method provides for detecting information associated with consumed food. Data associated with detection events of food for possible consumption by a user is received from a plurality of sources. The data of detected food is parsed using a first criteria and parsing of event metadata is done using a second criteria and the data received from the detection event. Aggregate data is created for the food items by combining the detected food item data and the respective metadata of the detection event. An ordered list of food items from the aggregate data is generated and arranged according to a determined user consumption probability for the ordered list food items. The aggregate data of respective food items of the ordered list includes nutritional information of macronutrients and calories, accessed from a database, and the list of food items potentially consumed by the user are formatted into a predetermined form.
