Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling and tracking computer devices using a secure communication path between a central database and a device control-file watchdog program. One or more device control-files can be generated to control, limit and track a computer device using a device control-file watchdog program. The system sets limits on the computer device to ensure the user operating the computer device stays within a restricted set of usage limitations. The device control-file watchdog program protects the one or more device control-files and additionally can report on all activities performed by the computer device to the central database.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to receive an indication that an anchor is to be positioned at a first location on a webpage. An interaction rule associated with the anchor is received, comprising a rule that content is to be displayed in response to the webpage being scrolled to a first position. A preview of the webpage is generated with the anchor at the first location in conjunction with the previewed webpage. Automatically generated code is configured to cause the anchor to be visible at the first location of the webpage when accessed by a user browser. In response to activation of a publication control, the code is embedded in the webpage, wherein in response to a first user browser of a first user device accessing the webpage, and the first user scrolling the webpage to the first position, the content specified by the content specification is rendered.

Abstract: A vehicle detection system warns snowmobilers of other approaching vehicles with potential risk of collision. To better prevent accidents, the system calculates collision risks and warns the rider based on level of risk. When riding in groups, a member can press a stop request button to ask the group to slow down. When a member exits the group, everyone in the group will receive a message, alerts or indication with the update. The vehicle detection system utilizes Bluetooth® low energy (BLE), LoRaWAN® technologies and/or global positioning system technologies and is designed to detect other devices in the region and use acquired information to calculate proximity and risk of collision.

Abstract: A face mask for filtering air includes a face seal for providing an airtight flexible seal around the nose and mouth of a user, a support sealably attached to the face seal, wherein the support has an open area that allows for passage of incoming air and outlet valves for expelling exhaled air, a front shell for removably attaching to the support, wherein the front shell has inlet holes for allowing the incoming air to pass through the open area of the support, and a filter for filtering particulate elements from air. The filter is configured to be housed between the front shell and the support. The face seal provides a direct connection between the filter and the user.

Abstract: Methods and systems configured to enable communications among user concurrently accessing a website are described. A communication system detects that at least a first user and a second user are concurrently accessing a third party website via respective first user and second user devices. At least partly in response to detecting that the first user and the second user are concurrently accessing the third party website, corresponding indications are transmitted to the first user device and the second user device. The first user and the second user are enabled to communicate with each other via one or more communication channels and to securely share content with each other.

Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus for fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI). The apparatus includes a deep neural network (DNN). The DNN includes a first convolutional layer, a plurality of intermediate layers and an output layer. The first convolutional layer is configured to receive FLI input data. Each intermediate layer is configured to receive a respective intermediate input corresponding to an output of a respective prior layer. Each intermediate layer is further configured to provide a respective intermediate output related to the received respective intermediate input. The output layer is configured to provide estimated FLI output data corresponding to the received FLI input data. The DNN is trained using synthetic data.

Abstract: A data processing device is disclosed, which selectively grants devices access to an online session if the devices satisfy a discovery range requirement. The online session is associated with the discovery range requirement by which the online session is selectively discoverable by the devices. The data processing device determines an access metric representing interactions related to the online session, and adjusts the discovery range requirement based on the determined access metric such that the online session is discoverable by more or fewer devices. The data processing device then selectively grants the devices access to the online session based on the adjusted discovery range requirement.

Abstract: A method of controlling a portable electronic device that has a touch-sensitive display includes displaying information on the touch-sensitive display, detecting a gesture on the touch-sensitive display, scrolling through the information in a first scrolling mode when the gesture is associated with a first area of the touch-sensitive display, and scrolling through the information in a second scrolling mode when the gesture is associated with a second area of the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: A scent pod is attached to a face mask. The scent pod includes a scented body for providing a scent to the user and a scent body holder for holding the scented body and securing the scented body to the face mask. A face mask includes a support for attaching to a user's face and a scent pod for providing a scent. The scent pod is attached to the support. The scent pod provides the scent to an internal chamber of the face mask.
