Abstract: An electronic document associated with users of a collaborative document platform is identified. The electronic document is associated with an approval data structure including entries that correspond to approval requests. A portion of an approval data structure is included within the content of the electronic document for presentation to a first user. A first user updates a first entry of the portion of the approval data structure included within the content of the electronic is detected. The update to the first entry corresponds to a first approval request for a second user to approve a portion of the electronic document. A first notification is transmitted to a second client device associated with the second user. The first notification indicates the first approval request. The approval data structure is updated to include data of the first entry.

Abstract: A differential camera system for object tracking. The system includes a co-aligned light source camera assembly (LSCA) and a controller. The co-aligned LSCA includes a light source and a differential camera sensor. The light source is configured to emit light along an optical path that is directed towards an eye box including an eye of a user. The differential camera sensor is configured to detect a change in brightness of the eye caused in part by the emitted light, asynchronously output data samples corresponding to the detected change in brightness, wherein the optical path is substantially co-aligned with an optical path of the differential camera sensor. The controller is configured to identify a pupil of the eye based on data samples output from the differential camera sensor resulting from the emitted light, and determine a gaze location of the user based in part on the identified pupil.

Abstract: In general, scapular tethers and methods of using scapular tethers are provided. A tether is configured to be implanted in a body of a patient and to control movement of the patient's scapula. In an exemplary embodiment, the tether is configured to be attached to at least one body structure in a patient. The tether includes a flexible member configured to, when implanted in the patient, flex in response to movement of the patient's scapula accompanying arm movement of the patient.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for dynamic substitution of repeating transfer data structures using a linked queue, the method including grouping repeating transfer data structures into a plurality of repeating transfer groups, identifying primary repeating transfers and backup repeating transfers in each repeating transfer group based on a utilization ratio, storing the primary repeating transfers in the plurality of repeating transfer groups in a memory and storing the backup repeating transfers in the plurality of repeating transfer groups in a plurality of backup queues in the memory, detecting failure of a primary repeating transfer in a first repeating transfer group, and in response to detecting failure of the primary repeating transfer, removing the failed primary repeating transfer from the first repeating transfer group and substituting a backup repeating transfer from a first backup queue corresponding to the first repeating transfer group and linked in the memory to the first re

Abstract: A system and method for point to point video enable communication and the provisioning of at least one commodity. The communication between two remote devices may include both video and audio and may be activated by use of at least one touch screen associated with a device for provisioning the at least one commodity, such as, for example, a vending machine.

Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously recording a first live video stream and projecting a second live video stream onto an interactive touch screen, the apparatus comprising (a) a backlight panel; (b) a horizontally polarized screen associated with one face of the backlight panel; (c) a camera having a lens, the camera having controllable frame rate and exposure; and, (d) a LCD screen.

Abstract: A welding-type helmet includes a cover with a channel recessed from an external surface of the cover, the channel being configured to house a removable light source within the channel.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for content delivery and managing and conserving network bandwidth in a content delivery system are described. In accordance with one aspect of some embodiments, when the number content playback devices, e.g., IP set top boxes, iPADs, etc., in a region or service group receiving the same program content via individual unicast streams over a first network, e.g., cable network, exceeds a threshold number large, the IP capable playback devices are instructed to switch to receive the same programming content from a local device, e.g., a gateway device, via a home network. The local device receives the programming content via the cable network over a broadcast or SDV or VOD channel established by the cable service provider's headend/hubsite.

Abstract: Technologies for modifying a digital image to take on the appearance of an antique image. Such modifying is typically based on generating and rendering various effects that are blended with the input image, such as color transformation, simulating film grain, dust, fibers, tears, and vintage borders. Such effects may be rendered to various layers that are overlaid on a color transformed image resulting in what appears to be an antique image.

Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously recording a first live video stream and projecting a second live video stream onto an interactive touch screen, the apparatus comprising (a) a backlight panel; (b) a horizontally polarized screen associated with one face of the backlight panel; (c) a camera having a lens, the camera having controllable frame rate and exposure; and, (d) a LCD screen.
