Abstract: A head-mounted wearable device (HMWD) with a form factor of eyeglasses incorporates hinges between a front frame and temples. The hinges provide a fully enclosed passage for a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The FPC allows electrical connectivity between devices in the front frame and in the temple. The hinge includes a cam device that provides a biasing force that allows the temples to remain in one of four configurations: closed, transit, neutral, and maximum neutral. When in the transit configuration the biasing force provided by the cam device tends to move the temples towards the closed configuration. When in the maximum neutral configuration the biasing force provided by the cam device tends to move the temples towards the neutral configuration. During use, this biasing of the temples provides a gentle clamping force that assists in maintaining the HMWD on the user's head.

Abstract: A system includes sensors and a tracking subsystem. The subsystem tracks a first object and one or more other objects in a space. After determining that re-identification of the first object is needed, candidate identifiers are determined for the first object. The candidate identifiers include a subset of the identifiers of all tracked objects in the space. The subset includes possible identifiers of the first object based on a history of movements of the first object and interactions of the first object with the other objects in the space. Based on a top-view image, a first descriptor is determined for the first object. The first descriptor is associated with a characteristic of the first object. Based on results of comparing the first descriptor to a set of predetermined descriptors, an updated identifier is determined for the first object.

Abstract: A scalable tracking system processes video of a space to track the positions of people within a space. The tracking system determines local coordinates for the people within frames of the video and then assigns these coordinates to time windows based on when the frames were received. The tracking system then combines or clusters certain local coordinates that have been assigned to the same time window to determine a combined coordinate for a person during that time window.

Abstract: A request to restore an instance of an object that is stored in a storage associated with a cluster of nodes to a target destination is received. Data of the object is divided into a plurality of data portions. Corresponding data portions of the plurality of data portions are assigned to each node of a plurality of nodes of the cluster. It is determined that a first node of the cluster of nodes does not currently store in a storage associated with the first node at least a part of a corresponding data portion of the object assigned to the first node. At least the part of the corresponding data portion of the object assigned to the first node is received at the first node from a second node of the cluster of nodes. At least the part of the corresponding data portion of the object received from the second node is provided from the first node to the target destination.

The first transistor is coupled with a first voltage source and the second transistor is coupled with a second voltage source. The voltage regulator includes a resistor, one or more diodes coupled together in series and a capacitor. Terminals of the capacitor are coupled between a gate and a source of the first transistor through a first switch and a second switch respectively. The capacitor is configured to hold charge to switch the first transistor on. A value of the capacitor is smaller than a gate to source capacitance of the first transistor.

The camera subsystem includes cameras that capture video of a space, camera clients that determine local coordinates of objects in the captured videos, and a camera server that determines the physical positions of objects in the space based on the determined local coordinates. The weight subsystem determines when items were removed from shelves. The central server determines which object in the space removed the items based on the physical positions of the objects in the space and the determination of when items were removed.

Abstract: A low dropout regulator includes a first stage that generate a first output voltage and a second stage that generates a second output voltage different from the first output voltage. The first stage and the second stage are coupled in parallel to a node, the stages are selectively controlled respective first and second output signals based on different conditions. One condition may be operation of a load in one or more predetermined modes. Another condition may be transition between modes. Selective control of the first stage during a mode transition may reduce voltage undershoot or voltage overshoot in the load.

Abstract: A system includes sensors and a processor that tracks first and second objects in a space. Upon detecting that a tracked position of the first object is within a threshold distance of a tracked position of a second object, a top-view image of the first object is received from a first sensor. Based on this top-view image, a first descriptor is determined for the first object. The first descriptor is associated with an observable characteristic of the first object. The processor identifies the first object based at least in part upon the first descriptor.

Abstract: A system includes sensors and a tracking subsystem. The subsystem tracks first and second objects in a space. Following a collision event between the first and second object, a top-view image of the first object is received from a first sensor. Based on the top-view image, a first descriptor is determined for the first object. The first descriptor is associated with an observable characteristic of the first object. If criteria are not satisfied for distinguishing the first object from the second object based on the first descriptor, a third descriptor is determined for the first object. The third descriptor is generated by an artificial neural network configured to identify objects in top-view images. The tracking subsystem uses the third descriptor to assign an identifier to the first object.

Abstract: A data set may be partitioned according to relative differences indicated by a cover tree. A cover tree may be generated for a data set. Items in the data set may be stored at the same or different nodes according to the relative difference between the items indicated in the cover tree. Portions of the cover tree may be assigned to different nodes storing the data set. Access requests for the data set may be performed by sending the access requests to nodes identified according to the assigned portions of the cover tree.

Abstract: A computing resource service provider deploys resources to process input data sets on an ongoing basis and provide requestors with queryable data structures generated from the input data sets over determined, rolling periods of time. In one embodiment, the input data sets are processed using one or more nearest neighbor search algorithms, and the outputs therefrom are represented in data structures which are rotated as newer data structures are subsequently generated. The disclosed systems and techniques improve resource utilization, processing efficiency, query latency, and result consistency relative to known controls for large and/or complex data processing tasks, such as those employed in machine learning techniques.
