Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial reality systems. Such systems provide projections a user can create to specify object interactions. For example, when a user wishes to interact with an object outside her immediate reach, she can use a projection to select, move, or otherwise interact with the distant object. The present technology also includes object selection techniques for identifying and disambiguating between objects, allowing a user to select objects both near and distant from the user. Yet further aspects of the present technology include techniques for interpreting various bimanual (two-handed) gestures for interacting with objects. The present technology further includes a model for differentiating between global and local modes for, e.g., providing different input modalities or interpretations of user gestures.

Abstract: Processes and devices provide parenteral delivery of therapeutic fluids, in particular high-viscosity therapeutic fluids (e.g., protein therapeutics), by a chemical reaction that generates a gas. A device may include a first actuation chamber containing a first reagent, a second reaction chamber containing a second reagent, and a third therapeutic fluid chamber containing the therapeutic fluid. In a loaded configuration, a plunger separates the first chamber from the second chamber. In a delivery configuration, the plunger allows the first reagent from the first chamber to communicate and react with the second reagent from the second chamber. The generated gas acts upon a plunger to deliver the therapeutic fluid from the third chamber.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring humidity at a property are disclosed. A monitoring system performs operations including: obtaining, from multiple humidity sensors within the property, humidity data; obtaining occupancy data that indicates whether people are within the property; determining, based on the humidity data and the occupancy data, that humidity in a first area of the property changed more relative to a change in humidity in a second area of the property during a time period when no person was present in the first area and no person was present in the second area; and in response to determining that humidity in the first area changed more relative to a change in humidity in a second area of the property during the time period, providing an indication of a water leak in the first area of the property to a user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for coordinating pulse powers and focal positions of laser beam pulses used to form a subsurface optical structure. Focal positions for a sequence of laser beam pulses may be stored in a scanning controller configured for controlling operation of a scanning assembly to scan the sequence of laser beam pulses to focal positions in the ophthalmic lens. A memory associated with a power controller may store pulse power data values corresponding to pulse powers for the sequence of laser beam pulses. The power controller can control a pulse power control assembly based on the pulse power data values. Operation of the scanning controller may be synchronized with operation of the power controller during scanning of the sequence of laser beam pulses to the focal positions in the ophthalmic lens via communication of one or more trigger signals between the scanning controller and the power controller.
