Abstract: Receiving point of interest zones and alerts on user devices comprises communicating, by a user computing device to a remote computing device, a request for point of interest data corresponding to points of interest within a proximity of the user device; presenting the received point of interest data; identifying a particular point of interest; and outputting an alert regarding the particular point of interest. Receiving point of interest zones on user devices comprises communicating a request for point of interest data; receiving the point of interest data from the remote network device wherein a size of the point of interest zone is determined based on a density of points of interest in the proximity of the user, and wherein the shape of the point of interest zone is expanded in a direction of travel and contracted in the opposite direction; and presenting the received point of interest data.

Abstract: A scanner detection model is created by a detection system to determine whether a laser scanner is present so the user is notified of the potential inability to accurately read a machine-readable identifier on a user device. A user operating the user device accesses an electronic record and a machine-readable identifier that comprises information identifying the electronic record is displayed on the user device. A scanner detection module detects display of the machine-readable identifier and turns on a camera resident on the user device. The camera captures and analyzes images. The scanner detection module identifies whether the scanner is a laser scanner based on an analysis of the images and the scanner detection model created by the detection system. If the scanner is a laser scanner, a message is displayed on the user device indicating that the machine-readable identifier is to be entered or inputted, instead of scanned.

Abstract: A geofence management system obtains location data for points of interest. The geofence management system determines, at the option of the user, the location of a user mobile computing device relative to specific points of interest and alerts the user when the user nears the points of interest. The geofence management system, however, determines relationships among the identified points of interest, and associates or “clusters” the points of interest together based on the determined relationships. Rather than establishing separate geofences for multiple points of interest, and then alerting the user each time the user's mobile device enters each geofence boundary, the geofence management system establishes a single geofence boundary for the associated points of interest. When the user's mobile device enters the clustered geofence boundary, the geofence management system notifies the user device to alert the user of the entrance event. The user then receives the clustered, geofence-based alert.

The middle section is located between the first section and the second section. The middle section has a length that is configured to change in response to a movement between the first structure and the second structure. The first section, the middle section, and the second section form a cover that is configured to form a seal for the joint.

Abstract: A rotor (1) for an electric machine, in particular a permanently excited synchronous machine. At least one recess (20) is formed on the outer wall (12) of the receiving space (6) and forms a non-magnetizable space (29) adjacent to the lengthwise surface (10) of the permanent magnet (7). Due to this non-magnetizable space (29), iron losses in the stator teeth can be reduced in particular during operation of the electric machine in the field weakening range, which may result in a rise in efficacy of up to 3% for the electric machine.

Abstract: A computing device displays a call history graphical user interface (GUI). The call history GUI includes a new list and an old list. The new list may include new missed call elements and missed call elements associated with new unopened voicemails. The old list may include other call history GUI elements, such as old missed call elements and missed call elements associated with opened voicemails.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a system, a voice recording associated with a user, transcribing, the voice recording into text that includes a group of words, and storing an association between a portion of each respective word and a corresponding portion of the voice recording. The corresponding portion of the voice recording is the portion of the voice recording from which the portion of the respective word was transcribed. The method may also include determining a modification to a speech synthesis voice associated with the user based at least in part on the association.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques to direct textual characters converted from vocal input into selected graphical user interface input fields. Vocal input may be received. Textual characters may be identified based on the vocal input. A first portion of the textual characters corresponding to a first portion of the vocal input may be graphically inputted into a first input field of a GUI. While receiving the vocal input, a selection by of a second input field in the GUI may be accepted after the first portion of the vocal input has been received. After accepting the selection of the second input field, a second portion of the textual characters corresponding to a second portion of the vocal input received after the selection of the second input field may be inputted into the second input field.

Abstract: The Child Seat Safety System provides drivers (common vehicles) with an alarm and monitoring system for the attachment of safety harnesses and temperature readings for respective child seat occupants within the car. The monitoring component details the attached “status” of said harnesses through indicator lights on the main operator dashboard along with on the system device. Alarm features automatically warn either the driver or surrounding bystanders or emergency personnel of alarm situation including temperature variances, harness disengagement, accident or unattended occupant warnings. The Child Seat Safety System can reduce the risk of small children being injured due to unattached seat belts during accident, braking or collision, and can reduce exposure to unhealthy temperatures either during driving or from extended lengths of time being unattended in a car.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to investigate the bonding of substances to target molecules. This is achieved by means of a densely packed device wherein various target molecules are bonded in a large number of sample areas. Cross-contamination and evaporation need to be minimized. The active surface of the sample areas have to be maximized. The inventive solution resides in the use of carrier plates, containing densely packed capillary structures and having a very large inner surface despite small outer dimensions. 1000 times more molecules can be bonded than on a flat outer surface of a comparable size. Cross contamination is avoided by the lack of cross links between the capillaries. Evaporation is minimized by a small outer surface. After the inner surface of the capillaries has been silanized, peptides and peptidomimetics are synthesized in a locally targeted manner.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance method is described for forming a fast dynamic image with an automatically generated grid of essentially orthogonally arranged grid lines by a saturation information induced over the object to be imaged. Therefore a first set of parallel saturation planes is obtained by applying a first nonselective RF pulse with a flip angle of 90°, an intermediate magnetic field gradient pulse in direction of the spatial modulation, and a second nonselective RF pulse with a flip angle of 90°. A subsequent spoiler gradient pulse is applied in the direction of the magnetic field gradient for slice selection. Subsequently a second set of parallel saturation planes is obtained in the same manner by inverting one second RF pulse with respect to the first RF pulse. Further the first and the sets of saturation planes are subtracted from each other to obtain a grid free of any contribution of relaxation components of magnetization.
