  • Patent number: 12277722
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for visually detecting a halocline. In some implementations, a method includes moving a camera through different depths of water within a fish enclosure, capturing, at the different depths, images of fish, determining that changes in focus in the images correspond to changes in depth that the images were captured, and based on determining that the changes in focus in the images correspond to the changes in depths that the images were captured, detecting a halocline at a particular depth.

  • Patent number: 12272169
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for estimating the shape, size, mass, and health of fish are described. A pair of stereo cameras may be utilized to obtain off-axis images of fish in a defined area. The images may be processed, enhanced, and combined. Object detection may be used to detect and track a fish in images. A pose estimator may be used to determine key points and features of the detected fish. Based on the key points, a model of the fish is generated that provides an estimate of the size and shape of the fish. A regression model or neural network model can be applied to the fish model to determine characteristics of the fish.

  • Publication number: 20250111356
    Abstract: Techniques are described for the use and implementation of web-based wallet authentication. An example method includes receiving, by processing circuitry, a request from a computing device for a document package. The document package may include an electronic document and specify a name of a signatory for the electronic document. In response to a determination that the request is associated with a user account, the processing circuitry may initiate a passkey challenge to the computing device using a public key associated with the user account. Responsive to successful completion of the passkey challenge, the processing circuitry may configure the computing device to accept a signature corresponding to the name of the signatory specified for the electronic document. The processing circuitry may implement a document management platform which coordinates with a third-party identification verifier to verify the identity of the signatory and provides password-less authentication for a known signatory.

  • Patent number: 12267585
    Abstract: An eyewear device having an image processor operable in a camera pipeline for computer vision (CV) and in augmented reality (AR) systems. The image processor is configured to selectively control a plurality of cameras to provide images having a first resolution in the high power AR mode, and to provide the images having a second resolution in the low power CV mode. The first resolution is higher than the second resolution, and the plurality of cameras consume less power in the CV mode than the AR mode. The image processor controls the camera pipeline to process the first resolution high IQ images from the plurality of cameras to operate in the AR mode, and controls the camera pipeline to process the second resolution lower IQ images from the plurality of cameras to operate in the CV mode. Substantial power is saved by reducing the resolution of the images using downscaling in the cameras themselves in the CV mode.

  • Publication number: 20250097849
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

  • Patent number: 12238565
    Abstract: A plurality of access point (AP) devices configured to provide a wireless network at a site within a geographic region and a management system (NMS) configured to manage the plurality of APs are described. An AP device sends, to the NMS, a message including version information of hardware compliance data currently stored at the AP device. The NMS determines, based on the version information, whether the first version of the hardware compliance data stored at the AP device is in compliance with applicable regulations of the geographic region. When the first version is not in compliance, the AP device receives, from the NMS, a second version of the hardware compliance data that is in compliance with the applicable regulations of the geographic region. The AP device enables operation of one or more hardware components of the AP device in accordance with the second version of the hardware compliance data.

  • Patent number: 12228241
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for mounting an electronic device to the T-bar of a drop ceiling provides for self-locking snap-action securing of the mounting bracket to a flange of the T-bar, suspending the mounting bracket from the T-bar. The mounting bracket also provides for self-locking snap-action attachment of the mounted device to the bracket, suspending the device from the suspended mounting bracket. A split adapter allows vertical offsetting of the device from the ceiling, reducing vertical displacement of ceiling tiles resting on the T-bar. The split adapter has two halves the are laterally slid on to the T-bar flange and are then longitudinally slid together to be joined against lateral separation. The composite adapter thus formed presents an adapter flange to which the mounting bracket snap-secures, the mounting bracket locking the adapter halves against longitudinal separation.

  • Patent number: 12228457
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring a surface temperature of eyewear proximate a processor to understand the surface temperature as a function of computer instructions, such as when the computer instructions are modified during software design. A sensor is coupled to the eyewear proximate the processor, such as at a temple of the eyewear including the processor, using one or more layers of tape. A server provides instructions to the processor for execution, such as instructions of an application, which instructions vary the utilization of the processor. A testing device, such as a digital multi-meter, is coupled to the sensor, as well as the server, and displays the surface temperature as a function of the processor utilization. The surface temperature of the eyewear is monitored to ensure the surface temperature does not exceed a temperature threshold.

  • Patent number: 12223723
    Abstract: A fish monitoring system deployed in a particular area to obtain fish images is described. Neural networks and machine-learning techniques may be implemented to periodically train fish monitoring systems and generate monitoring modes to capture high quality images of fish based on the conditions in the determined area. The camera systems may be configured according to the settings, e.g., positions, viewing angles, specified by the monitoring modes when conditions matching the monitoring modes are detected. Each monitoring mode may be associated with one or more fish activities, such as sleeping, eating, swimming alone, and one or more parameters, such as time, location, and fish type.
