Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with multi-camera devices are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a multi-camera device may include 3 or more camera sensors disposed on a world facing side of the multi-camera device. Further, the multi-camera device may be configured to provide a soft shutter button at a location on an opposite side to the world facing side, coordinated with locations of the 3 or more camera sensors that reduces likelihood of blocking of one or more of the 3 or more camera sensors. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Abstract: A firearm gas piston system provides tool-less removal and adjustment of gas flow along a nonlinear gradient and directs exhaust discharge away from the operator. The system includes a gas block with gas channels for directing exhaust gas away from an operator and a gas plug bore configured to accommodate insertion of a gas plug. The gas plug can include an actuator for rotating the gas plug, a key that fits within a key notch and key channel inside the gas plug bore to secure the gas plug within the bore, and a regulator portion to control the flow of discharge gas from a firearm barrel. The regulator portion includes a passage with two opening segments that accept discharge gas from the barrel and direct the gas through another opening disposed in a regulator cutout and to a piston portion of the gas block.

Abstract: Image location selection is described for use in a depth photography system. In one example, a method includes receiving a selection from a user of a position in a captured image, comparing the selected position to objects in the image, selecting whether the selected position is intended to be within an object or outside an object, refining the position based on the selection, and determining a depth for an object corresponding to the refined position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining point-to-point distances from 3D image data. In some embodiments, two measure points, for example specified by a user, represent endpoints on an object of interest within an image frame. Assuming all points lying between these endpoints also belong to the object of interest, additional 3D data associated with points that lie along a measurement line defined by the measure points may be leveraged to provide a robust distance measurement. In some embodiments, total least squares fitting is performed, for example through Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) to identify linear structures within the set of the 3D coordinates on the measurement line. In some exemplary embodiments, the minimum covariance determinant (MCD) estimator of the covariance matrix of the data is computed for a highly robust estimate of multivariate location and multivariate scatter.

Abstract: An adapter for utilizing a handgun slide manufactured for use on a common generation and version of handgun frame to make its use capable on a newer generation or versions frame having different dimensional features. The adapter makes allows use of a slide assembly comprising of a slide, barrel, recoil spring and guide from previous generations on more recent generations of the same handgun. The adapter is mounted on the previous versions dust cover creating a new geometry to allow for proper function inside the newer generation's frame. The adapter includes a bushing. The earlier generation's slides have an outer surface shape smaller than the newer generation slide with the adapter creating the geometry necessary for compatibility.

Abstract: RingGuide is an organizational and social media methodology and system that enables new forms of distributed interfaces on any 2D or 3D class electronic device. The RingGuide comprises a hierarchy of Rings displaying on one or more of these devices. The Rings may contain Asset Cells representing a database record available in associated local or remote databases (a movie, video or graphical advertisement, TV show, metadata, etc.); Code Cells capable of executing specific functionality, such as search, “show by time”, a widget that displays realtime weather information or a separately launchable application such as an instant messaging client; Element Cells showing locally or remotely update-able user interface elements, and Link Cells that refer to sub-Rings that may be organized by genre, media owner brands, etc.
