Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for seamless insertion of modified media content. In one embodiment, a modified portion of video content is received. The modified portion has a start cue point and an end cue point that are set relative to a modification to the video content to indicate respectively when the modification approximately begins and ends compared to the video content. A video coding associated with the video content is identified. The start cue point and/or the end cue point are dynamically adjusted to align the modified portion with the video content based at least in part on the video coding.

Abstract: A gaze virtual object is displayed that is selectable based on attention directed to the gaze virtual object to perform an operation associated with a selectable virtual object. An indication of attention of a user is displayed. An enlarged view of a region of a user interface is displayed. A value of a slider element is adjusted based on attention of a user. A user interface element is moved at a respective rate based on attention of a user. Text is entered into a text entry field in response to speech inputs. A value for a value selection user interface object is updated based on attention of a user. Movement of a virtual object is facilitated based on direct touch interactions. A user input is facilitated for displaying a selection refinement user interface object. A visual indicator is displayed indicating progress toward selecting a virtual object when criteria are met.

Abstract: An air purifying system having a series of specific filters stacked to facilitate removal of particles from the air. Removable filters include a pre-filter, a HEPA electrostatic filter, an activated carbon filter and a cold catalyst filter. Additional filters or alternate filters may be used, so long as there is no negative impact on the system efficiency and effectiveness.

Abstract: A mobile device used for controlling a plurality of air filtering units includes a display, at least one processor, and memory stored instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the mobile device to perform specific operations. The specific operations include displaying a graphical interface having icons which corresponds to either a preset operation or a control feature of the air filtering units, assigning each air filtering unit to a collection of air filtering units, navigating the graphical interface to input, by a user, a single set of appropriate operating parameters for the stored collection of units, and sending the operating parameters to each air filtering unit assigned to the collection via a wireless network.

Abstract: An air purifying system having two series of specific filters vertically arranged around a central, cylindrical electrostatic filter to facilitate removal of particles from the air. Removable filters include a pre-filter, an activated carbon filter and a cold catalyst filter, in addition to the electrostatic cylindrical filter. Additional filters or alternate filters may be used, so long as there is no negative impact on the system efficiency and effectiveness.

Abstract: A cooking control system having a temperature probe and a cooking appliance is described for permitting temperature target cooking of foods. The probe includes a metallic insertable portion with a sheathed tip and a temperature sensor positioned therein, a flexible heat-resistant wire coupled to the temperature sensor, and a jack coupled to the flexible, heat-resistant wire opposite the metallic insertable portion. The cooking appliance includes a heating unit, an housing, a temperature reader, and an alpha-numerical display. In use, the temperature sensor produces a signal in response to a temperature sensed at the sheathed tip and the heat-resistant wire and jack transmit the signal produced by the temperature sensor to the port of the cooking appliance. The temperature reader within the housing is coupled to the port and configured to accept and accurately convert the signal produced by the temperature sensor to a number representing the temperature sensed by the sensor and display the number for the user.

Abstract: A temperature control system for appliances, such as an electric grill, air fryer, vacuum blender, convection oven, induction cooker (e.g., wok), coffeemaker, etc. The control system comprises digital circuitry for controlling temperature of the appliance, and includes a first safety component in the circuitry for stopping the heating function at a threshold parameter, such as a maximum temperature, and a second safety component in the circuitry for stopping the heating function at a second threshold temperature if the first safety component fails at the first threshold temperature. The first and second safety components, preferably switches or fuses, are connected in series to establish a redundant safety mechanism.

Abstract: An optical apparatus and method comprising a light source, an array detector for area imaging and an optical cell assembly. The optical cell assembly comprises a chamber which is arranged to receive a sample of a material including an analyte, a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet coupled to the chamber. A fluid dissolution medium stream passes through the chamber such that the sample can dissolve into the dissolution medium. The chamber is in at least one light path created between the light source and the array detector. The array detector comprises a two dimensional array of detector locations arranged to provide an output signal indicative of the light absorbance of the analyte within the chamber such that the output of the array detector is indicative of the concentration profile of the analyte near the surface of the sample.
