Abstract: A cosmetic product is provided that includes a container defining a cavity and including a container coupling member, a removable drawer, and a frame. The removable drawer includes a drawer cavity that retains a cosmetic substance. The frame is adapted to be at least partially disposed within the cavity of the container and includes a first opening, a second opening, and a frame coupling member that is adapted to rotatably couple with the container coupling member. The first opening is adapted to expose the cosmetic substance such that it may be collected and removed from the drawer cavity. The second opening is adapted to slidably receive the removable drawer.

Abstract: A virtual visor system includes a visor having a plurality of independently operable pixels that are selectively operated with a variable opacity. A camera captures images of the face of a driver or other passenger and, based on the captured images, a controller operates the visor to automatically and selectively darken a limited portion thereof to block the sun or other illumination source from striking the eyes of the driver, while leaving the remainder of the visor transparent. The virtual visor system advantageously snaps projected eye positions on the visor to a grid, which helps to minimize rapid and distracting changes in the optical state of the visor.

Abstract: An image of a sample collection device is captured. The image of the sample collection device is analyzed to determine whether the sample collection device includes a sufficient amount of fluid sample. The image of the sample collection device is validated based on a result of the image analysis.

Abstract: A system for digital rights management including a processor in a platform and a memory device comprising instructions that when executed configure the processor to perform operations. The operations may include determining whether a digital media is locally installed in a platform before initiating an operating system, and launching a first UEFI application configured to generate attestation data and communicate attestation based data to a server through an encrypted medium in response to determining the digital media is not installed. The operations may also include receive a binary file of the digital media and a first decryption key and performing a sealing of the binary file using a sealing enclave of the first UEFI application and generating a local decryption second key based on the first key and local entropy. The operations may also include installing the sealed binary file on local storage.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes an input device and a processor coupled to the input device. The input device is configured to receive a game play event from a player. The processor is programmed to determine whether a jackpot trigger condition is satisfied based at least in part on the game play event. The jackpot trigger condition includes a target quantity of games played, a target set of game tokens, a target pattern of game symbols, and/or a target pattern of game play outcomes. The processor is further programmed to award a jackpot credit to one or more players when the jackpot trigger condition is satisfied.

Abstract: An improved audio amplifier system can both reduce power consumption by supporting a standby mode and shorten wake time when resuming from the standby mode. The audio amplifier system may reduce power by entering a sleep or standby state in response to a command and/or detecting that an audio input signal is not received. Further, the audio amplifier system may use a burst generator to periodically or intermittently activate the power supply during standby mode. By periodically or intermittently activating the power supply, one or more of the capacitors may be charged. By charging the capacitors during standby mode, the time to wake from standby mode may be significantly reduced. In some cases, the wake time may be reduced by several order of magnitudes (e.g., from seconds to milliseconds).

Abstract: An augmented reality training system provides immersive training scenarios, and uses a scenario management engine to assess scenario results and recommend appropriate subsequent scenarios. Scenario results may be assessed based upon comparison to doctrinal methods, expert performance, peer performance, or student past performance. Based upon assessments, a student may be presented with challenge appropriate subsequent scenarios. Determination of the challenge or complexity of scenarios for purposes of such recommendations may be accomplished by determination of an objective complexity or challenge metric that is based upon the results of scenario training across multiple students. One example of such a metric is a Shannon entropy metric, which calculates the unpredictability of a scenario by comparing actions taken during the scenario to a configured depth.

Abstract: A wearable computing device includes a frame, a camera mounted on the frame so as to capture images of an environment outside of the wearable computing device, a display device mounted on the frame so as to display the images captured by the camera, and at least one eye gaze tracking device mounted on the frame so as to track a gaze directed at the images displayed by the display device. In response to the detection of a fixation of the gaze on the display of images, the system may identify a pixel area corresponding to a fixation point of the fixation gaze on the display of images. The system may identify an object in the ambient environment corresponding to the identified pixel area, and set the identified object as a selected object for user interaction.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage mediums are provided for facilitating a task in a retail commerce environment. A request to facilitate performance of a commerce-related task is sent. In response to receiving the request, a task flow including an execution sequence for services associated with the commerce-related task is coordinated. The services are invoked in order according to the execution sequence. Rules and events associated with the services are triggered. Information is routed between rules, events, and services to facilitate completion of the commerce-related task. The services are maintained and customizations are administered to the services. A result of the performance of the commerce-related task is rendered.
