Abstract: Web-based opinion survey method, apparatus, and computer-readable media operable to cause propositional function responses to be provided to a survey server from a client device. The propositional functions are P(x), where P and x are the predicate and subject. Each P(x) is evaluated in the client device for subjects, each with a different x. Preferably, the client device displays the subjects within a Web Single Page Application (SPA) running on the client device. Preferably, the SPA displays a nonnumerical scale, the granularity of which is directly proportional to the number of pixels spanned by the scale. For each P(x), the client device displays labeled markers along the scale, to provide an indication of a level of agreement with the expressed P(x). For each P(x) subject, the client expresses an opinion on a position on the scale, whereby a pixel position corresponds to a rating for the selected subject.

Abstract: A method for adapting text message communications in electronic financial transactions to accommodate users with color vision deficiency. During a registration process, a primary account number, a selection of an enrollment in a color vision deficiency accommodation service, a selection of a preferred critical text color, and an electronic device identifier are received from a user. During a subsequent electronic card present transaction process, the primary account number and the electronic device identifier are received from the user via a payment gateway webpage. During an adaptation process, a text of a message containing a critical text element communicated to the user regarding the transaction is adapted by presenting the critical text element in the preferred critical text color previously selected by the user. The message may be adapted within a template, or the message may be dynamically adapted by searching the message and identifying the critical text element.

The configuration process is performed by first computer system independent of communication between the second computer system and the first computer system.

Abstract: Bitmaps for managing computing resources are described. Example bitmaps described in this application use less memory space by varying the sizes of the nodes in the bitmap's tree structure, and/or by limiting the number of nodes in the bitmap's leaf layer. Other example bitmaps described in this application reduce the time needed to traverse the bitmap by tailoring the search direction according to the bitmap's configuration.

Abstract: The motion of objects within a scene may be detected and tracked using digital (e.g., visual and depth) cameras aligned with fields of view that overlap at least in part. Objects may be identified within visual images captured from the scene using a tracking algorithm and correlated to point clouds or other depth models generated based on depth images captured from the scene. Once visual aspects (e.g., colors or other features) of objects are correlated to the point clouds, shapes and/or positions of the objects may be determined and used to further train the tracking algorithms to recognize the objects in subsequently captured frames. Moreover, a Kalman filter or other motion modeling technique may be used to enhance the prediction of a location of an object within subsequently captured frames.
