Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer mouse includes a housing, a depressible keyplate, and a haptic element coupled to a bottom surface of the depressible keyplate. The haptic element can be configured to operate in a plurality of modes of operation including a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode of operation, the haptic element can generate a haptic output that statically and unidirectionally deflects and holds the haptic element and coupled keyplate at a deflection distance. In the second mode of operation, the haptic element can generate a second haptic output that bidirectionally deflects the haptic element relative to the deflection distance thereby generating a vibrational feedback that is superimposed on the unidirectional deflection at the deflection distance. In some aspects, the haptic element is a piezoelectric device and the control signal is a voltage applied to the haptic element.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer mouse comprises a housing, a depressible keyplate disposed within the housing, a carrier platform including a top side and disposed within the housing, a haptic element coupled to a top side of the carrier platform, a biasing system configured to couple the carrier platform to the housing and provide a pre-loading force that pushes the haptic element coupled to the carrier platform against a bottom surface of the depressible keyplate, and a limiter element operable to physically limit a movable range of the keyplate in one direction that prevents a top surface of the keyplate to deflect past an adjacent top surface of the housing due to the pre-loading force, the top surface of the keyplate and the adjacent top surface of the housing forming a continuous contour when the depressible keyplate is in a non-depressed, neutral position.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer mouse comprises a housing, a multi-tiered and depressible keyplate including a first tier and a second tier, a haptic element, a subchassis configured to support and directly couple the haptic element to a bottom surface of the first tier of the keyplate, and a sensor (e.g., force sensor, keypress detection sensor, and the like). In some cases, when depressed by a threshold distance, the second tier of the multi-tiered depressible keyplate makes contact with the sensor, causing the sensor to detect that the multi-tiered depressible keyplate is depressed. In some aspects, the multi-tiered depressible keyplate is a monolithic structure such that the first and second tiers move as a single unit relative to the housing when the multi-tiered depressible keyplate is depressed.

Abstract: In an approach, a processor preprocesses a corpus of documents of a given subject matter by: scanning each document in the corpus to identify stop words, which either is a high occurrence word that appears in at least a first pre-set threshold number of documents or a low occurrence word that appears in less than a second pre-set threshold number of documents; adding the stop words to a list of stop words; performing a spellcheck function on the corpus of documents; scanning each document in the corpus to identify subject matter relevant words based on the given subject matter; adding the identified SMR words to a list of SMR words; and assigning a weight to each identified SMR word based on a term frequency. A processor performs a similarity assessment on the corpus using the list of stop words and the list of SMR words with associated weights.

Abstract: Dynamic registration of software components for root cause of failure diagnosis may include determining a start of execution of a thread associated with a process, and creating a dynamic registry associated with the thread. One or more software components associated with execution of the thread are determined, and an entry in the dynamic registry is created for each of the one or more software components. The entry includes an identifier of the software component and a diagnostic content indicator associated with the software component. The diagnostic content indicator indicates component-specific diagnostic information associated with the software component.

Abstract: A system for transporting perishable goods. The system for transporting perishable goods provides a perishable goods transportation device for containing and transporting perishable goods having a phase change material (PCM) disposed in a first thermodynamic state disposed therein, a heat source, at least one passive electromotive force (EMF) generator, and a PCM re-constitution system operably coupled to the PCM.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, apparatus, and systems for face biometric recognition. A biometric recognition device includes at least one non-visible illuminator, at least one image capture device, and a processor. The at least one image capture device and the at least one non-visible illuminator are in a differential measurement configuration. The processor determines one or more eyes and a face from one or more captured images, performs liveness detection by comparing one or more pupil images from even-odd image pairs from the one or more captured images, wherein a non-noise color or brightness difference indicates pupil liveness, performs face encoding on the live face to generate face template, performs face matching on the face template to generate a face result, and uses one or more of the liveness result and the face result to enable the user to access an object.

Abstract: Techniques for client side multi-factor password generation include randomly removing one or more features of a record of a fingerprint image of a user and creating a distorted record of the fingerprint image by merging the record with a user input code using an encryption technique, the distorted record being reversible using the user input code. The distorted record for authentication of the user is registered.

The controller device may perform at least one remedial action based at least in part on detecting the breach of the light curtain while operating in the first state.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, apparatus, and systems for seamless biometric self-enrollment. The method including automatically: capturing, by a biometric capture device, biometric modality data for a user in response to a presentation of a user trusted credential for logical access or access to an object during an enrollment process, determining, by an enrollment system, whether biometric modalities for the user are stable, generating a biometric modality template for each unstable biometric modality, replacing a matched stored biometric modality template with the biometric modality template when the biometric modality template is qualitatively better than the matched stored biometric modality template, performing stability accounting when the matched stored biometric modality template is at least qualitatively equal to the biometric modality template, and initiating access processing when at least all biometric modalities are stable and verified.
