Abstract: A system and method for using a portable device to communicate with a vehicle to authorize one or more vehicle operations. The portable device may authorize the vehicle to unlock/lock doors, start the vehicle engine, or mobilize the vehicle, or a combination thereof. The vehicle may include a vehicle transmitter system with one or more transmitters disposed at various locations on the vehicle, and the portable device may be configured to monitor a communication strength between the portable device and the one or more transmitters of the transmitter system. Based on the monitored signal strength, the portable device may determine location information about itself.

Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) system may include a body having a right side and a left side, a display device coupled to the body and positioned to display content to a user when the HMD system is donned by the user, a right side arm coupled to the right side of the body and dimensioned such that, when coupled to a first portion of a swappable strap, the right side arm and the first portion of the strap form a first fastener, and a left side arm coupled to the left side of the body and dimensioned such that, when coupled to a second portion of the strap, the left side arm and the second portion of the strap form a second fastener. The first fastener and the second fastener may detachably secure the strap to the body of the HMD system. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed method may include bending, by an end-shaping tool, a portion of an end of a strap in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to a plane of the strap. The bending may include extending the portion of the end of the strap over a raised area of a first portion of the end-shaping tool and connecting a second portion of the end-shaping tool to the first portion. The connecting may include placing a recessed area of the second portion over the raised area of the first portion. The method may include debossing, by an end-setting tool dimensioned to accommodate the strap as bent by the end-shaping tool, the portion of the end of the strap at the bend. Various other methods, systems, and apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electronically conducting a fitness activity challenge are disclosed. The method may include first collecting electronic fitness data related to a first fitness activity, collecting second electronic fitness data related to a second fitness activity, generating comparison data by comparing the first electronic fitness data and the second electronic fitness data, and displaying the comparison data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electronically providing fitness activity feedback to a user are disclosed. The method may include collecting performance data, generating comparison data by comparing the respective performance and including identifying comparison performance data representative of performance differences, and displaying the comparison data and the comparison performance data.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for identifying and displaying key excerpts of a digital work and related key excerpts of other digital works. Key excerpts are identified by evaluating (a) the number of interactions by human readers within each of the key excerpts and (b) the number of reviews that reference each of the key excerpts. Related excerpts from other books can be identified by comparing the key excerpts of the other books. Excerpts can be displayed by subject, and links are provided to move from one subject to another.

Abstract: A method for generating a smaller dataset from a larger dataset, each dataset holding a plurality of records, includes profiling the larger dataset to identify a plurality of patterns, each of which is descriptive of one or more records held in the larger dataset. A plurality of slots of the smaller dataset is filled with records held in the larger dataset. Multiple records held in the larger dataset are individually retrieved, and for each retrieved record it is determined whether to place the retrieved record into a slot of the smaller dataset and evict a record already occupying that slot, or not place the retrieved record into the smaller dataset. This determination is based on a pattern of the retrieved record and a representation status of the pattern in the smaller dataset.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are related to a football training tool with an angled head, a rectangular frustum body, a pair of upper lateral rails, a pair of bottom lateral rails and a bottom. The upper later rails, defined as arms, include foot angle guides. The football training tool may also include a top alignment notch on its head and a bottom alignment notch on its bottom.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a facial interface in a head-mount display. The facial interface assembly is comprised of three separate layers of various materials that are contoured to assemble into a removable facial interface that may be replaced in the event that it becomes worn due to use. The facial interface assembly is composed of a periphery frame, a semi-rigid frame, and facial interface foam. These three layers are of varying rigidity, and support contours designed to fit together in a flush manner comprising a removable facial interface assembly.

Abstract: A head-mounted-display strap assembly may include a flexible lining member having (1) a head-contact layer positioned to abut a head portion of a user, (2) a mounting layer overlapping the head-contact layer, the mounting layer defining a wiring channel, and (3) a mesh layer disposed between the head-contact layer and the mounting layer such that a portion of the mesh layer overlaps the wiring channel. A method may include (1) attaching a head-contact layer for a head-mounted-display strap assembly to a mesh layer and (2) attaching a mounting layer to the mesh layer such that the mesh layer is disposed between the head-contact layer and the mounting layer the mounting layer defining a wiring channel, and a portion of the mesh layer overlapping the wiring channel. Various other head-mounted-display strap assemblies, head-mounted-display systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle based on a driver-centric model is presented. The method includes generating a trajectory for the vehicle and receiving an input from a driver. The method also includes generating a velocity profile and an acceleration profile based on a combination of the trajectory and the input. The method further includes controlling the vehicle based on the velocity profile and the acceleration profile.

Abstract: Technologies for narrowing the choices for programs that each comply with example behaviors provided by a user in programming by example. Even if the user provides insufficient behavior examples to precisely identify a program that should be used, the system still uses program behavior features (along with potentially structure features) of the program in order to identify suitability of each program that would comply with the specific set of behavior examples. A particular program is then selected and enabled for that user so that the particular program performs behaviors exemplified by the one or more program behavior examples. In the case where user assistance is used in selection of the program, the suitability for each possible program may be used to decide which of multiple possible programs should be made selectable by the user. Those higher suitability programs might be visualized to the user for selection.
