Abstract: Various systems and methods for frame removal and replacement for stop-action animation are described herein. A system for creating a stop-motion video includes an access module to access a series of frames of an input video, and a processing module to determine whether each frame of the series of frames includes a portion of a hand and composite frames from the series of frames that do not include the portion of the hand to render an output video. A system for creating a video includes an access module to access an input video, and a video processing module to identify a physical object in the input video, track movement of the physical object in the input video to identify a path, identify a three-dimensional model of the physical object, and create an output video with the three-dimensional model in place of the physical object, the three-dimensional model following the path.

Abstract: Embodiments for providing a wearable device are generally described herein. A wearable device may include a processor having memory and communicatively coupled to a plurality of display areas; and an orientation sensing module communicatively coupled to the processor to determine at least one of an orientation and a location of at least one of the plurality of display areas with respect to a point of view of a user; wherein the processor provides a function for at least one of the plurality of display areas based on the determined at least one of the orientation and the location of at least one of the plurality of display areas by the orientation sensing module.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for a user interface based on a wearable device interaction are described herein. A user interaction may be received at a wearable device interface from a user. The user interaction may be identified. A context corresponding to the user interaction may be identified. An action may be initiated based on the user interaction and the context.

Abstract: Embodiments for providing context-aware social advertising on wearable devices are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a display is provided for presenting content including advertisements. A processor is arranged to determine when an exposure of a display of a wearable device of a first person is acceptable for presentation of an advertisement. A sensor is arranged to obtain information for determining an advertisement to present on the display of the wearable device. The processor is further arranged to select the advertisement to present on the display of the wearable device based on the sensed information and presenting the selected advertisement on the display of the wearable device.

Abstract: The invention relates to the detection and quantification of polypeptides using mass spectrometry. Specifically, the invention provides a method for testing whether a target polypeptide is present in a sample of a set of polypeptides, a method for deriving a value for distinguishing polypeptides of a set of polypeptides from each other, a database containing values for distinguishing each polypeptide of a set of polypeptides from each other, and an apparatus for configuring a mass scan of a mass spectrometer to test whether a target polypeptide of a set of polypeptides is present in a sample of the set.
