Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable face authentication embedding migration and drift-compensation. The techniques and systems include a user device that is updated to include both a current version of firmware and an updated version of the firmware. Then, an indication of a face-authentication attempt is received along with image data associated with a user's face. After successful authentication, using the current version of firmware on the image data, the user device uses the updated version of the firmware on the same image data to generate a new embedding. The new embedding is stored as part of a migration profile for the user. Additional new embeddings are collected over a series of subsequent face-authentication attempts until a complete set of new embeddings is stored for the migration profile. Then, the old profile is deleted and the migration profile becomes the enrollment profile used for face authentication.

Abstract: A laser is used to both remove fat and alter the collagen in the skin under the eye. Precisely controlling the heat rise in the dermis is critical to not only the fat removal and alteration of the collagen but also to prevent damage to surrounding tissue. The denatured collagen results in tightening of the skin, further enhancing the benefits of the procedure. The fat is removed by melting or vaporizing the fat deposits, depending on the laser strength. The method is minimally invasive with a short recovery time.

Abstract: A stent (100) including a support frame (106) for supporting a vessel in a non-collapsed state is disclosed. The support frame (106) includes a degradable component (102) for at least initially supporting the vessel in the non-collapsed state when the stent (100) is first implanted in the vessel. The degradable component (102) is degradable after implantation such that support provided by the degradable component (102) decreases a selected amount after a predetermined time after implantation. The support frame (106) may further include a durable component (104) which is resistant to degradation such that support provided by the durable component (104) remains substantially constant after implantation.

Abstract: A cable connecting system for removably securing a male coupler to a female coupler in a stable and orderly manner. The cable connecting system includes a first clamp having a first head, a second clamp having a second head, and a cable tie positionable within the first head and the second head. The second clamp is removably secured about the neck of a first connector that is attached to a second connector wherein the first clamp is removably secured about the neck of the second connector. The cable tie is extended through the second head until securely engaged within the first head of the first clamp thereby securing the connectors together in a stable and orderly manner that is unable to become loosened over time.
