Abstract: Disclosed is a system for connecting to an online meeting room with multiple people. A first client device of a first user initiates a connection to the online meeting room. After the connection has been initiated, the first client device starts receiving video data and audio data from one or more client devices of one or more other users connected to the online meeting room. While connected to the online meeting room, the first client device displays a video stream based on the received video data from the one or more client device of the one or more other users connected to the online meeting. Upon receiving a request from a second user to start a conversation with the first user, the first client device plays an audio stream based on the audio data received from the client device of the second user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for manufacturing re-entrant structures, such as the structures exhibiting superomniphobic characteristic, in a continuous, well-controlled, high-rate (mass production, volume) manner are disclosed.

Abstract: A fluid injection system that includes an injector head having a syringe for delivering a fluid to a patient; a mounting structure pivotally connected to the injector head and configured to support the injector head above a surface; and a control system operationally coupled to the injector head for controlling an injection procedure is disclosed. The fluid injection system is provided with various sensors to control various aspects of the fluid injection system, such as the establishment of a reference plane, the determination of a tilt angle of the injector head, and the determination of a temperature of an actuation system of the injector head.

Abstract: A central authority receives a wake word associated with a service request from a user of a client device. The central authority sends the received wake word to a set of wake word engines. The central authority receives a signal from a selected wake word engine indicating that an assistant associated with the selected wake word engine has been selected by the user based on the received wake word. The central authority transmits a signal blocking the remainder of the wake word engines from receiving additional wake words, and sends the service request to the assistant. Responsive to the assistant receiving the service request, the central authority transmits a signal unblocking the remainder of the wake word engines from receiving wake words.

Abstract: The fingernail polish protector includes an adjustable ring portion along with a ventilated protective shield which snaps into the adjustable ring portion. The adjustable ring portion is designed to fit over the distal end of the finger of a wearer whose fingernail has been recently polished such that the ventilated protective portion overlies the fingernail thereby protecting the polish from being damaged while it dries and cures. Ventilation openings allow airflow and can be formed to be both functional and decorative. A positive stop prevents the ventilated protective shield from tilting downward onto a wet nail, while downward curved sides of the shield limit side-to-side movement which also helps prevent damaging newly polished fingernails. A plastic injection molding process allows the two interlocking portions to be formed in various sizes and colors.
