Abstract: An apparatus for vertical transfer of whole nuts from a first elevation to a second, lower elevation includes a run extending between an entrance and an exit, and having a plurality of alternatingly arranged conveying panels between the entrance and the exit. Each conveying panel is inclined at approximately 30 degrees to horizontal and has a variable effective conveying width. The apparatus further includes arcuate turn-arounds disposed between respective conveying panels to facilitate transferring the nuts from one conveying panel to the next lower conveying panel. The variable effective conveying width is selected based on a predetermined mass flow rate of nuts such that whole nuts move along the run in a continuous stream without tumbling, and wherein each nut is in contact with adjacent nuts in its respective layer.

Abstract: A computing device includes: a housing supporting a transparent panel to define an enclosure; a camera supported within the enclosure, the camera having a field of view extending through the transparent panel; and a privacy shutter supported within the enclosure, between the transparent panel and the camera, the privacy shutter having a shutter magnet, and being movable via magnetic activation between (i) an enabled position obstructing the field of view, and (ii) a disabled position clearing the field of view.

Abstract: A dock for a computing device includes: a cradle configured to receive a first edge of the computing device; a body extending from the cradle, the body having: (i) a first mounting surface configured to removably support a first accessory module in a first volume adjacent to the computing device, and (ii) a second mounting surface configured to removably support, independently of the first accessory module, a second accessory module in a second volume disjoint from the first volume.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing versions of user data that correspond to different virtual user presence fidelities. Implementations provide multiple versions of user state data, generated from tracked real-world user movements, to subscriber systems. The subscriber systems can display a virtual user presence (e.g., avatar) that mimics the tracked user movements based on each subscribed version of the user state data. Different subscriber systems can comprise different display capabilities and/or display the virtual user presence in different scenarios. The different versions of the user state data can correspond to different virtual user presence fidelities. Each subscriber system can subscribe to a given version of the user state data that fits this subscriber system's particular display capabilities and/or virtual user presence display scenario.
