Abstract: A pixel for an image sensor includes a photon sensor, a memory, and an accumulator. The photon sensor element portion outputs a signal to an accumulator, which then may add value stored in memory together and may transfer the result to the memory of another pixel. The pixel may be analog or digital and may be used in a pixel array for compressed sensing imaging. During imaging, a pseudo-random mask may also be used. The data collected during imaging may be used in compressed sensing and may be sent to an offline storage to be processed.

Abstract: A computing device includes a system that authenticates a user of the computing device. A first sensor obtains a first representation of a physical characteristic of the user that is compared to a registered representation of the physical characteristic of the user. A first level of access to the computing device is enabled based on the first representation of the physical characteristic matching the second representation of the physical characteristic. A second sensor obtains a first representation of a liveness characteristic of the user that indicates that the user is alive. The first representation of the liveness characteristic is compared to a registered representation of the liveness characteristic of the user. A second level of access to the computing device is enabled based on the first representation of the liveness characteristic of the user matching the second representation of the liveness characteristic of the user.

Abstract: Bush applicators including hair brush applicators and containers for dispensing dry shampoo are provided. In one embodiment, a brush applicator includes a body having one or more channels to distribute material to a bristle assembly. The bristle assembly can include a plurality of bristle and brush elements. The brush elements may be interspersed with the bristle elements and can each include a shaft and end (e.g., tip). Another embodiment is directed to a brush applicator including a container coupled to a body. The container retains at least one material including powder, liquids and solutions. Another embodiment is directed to a brush applicator configured for application of dry shampoo to hair.

Abstract: Vaporizers and vaporizer systems, which can include a user device in communication with a vaporizer, can include one or more features related to control of functions and/or features of the vaporizer. A method for locking a vaporizer is provided. The method includes determining whether a vaporizer is within a communication range of a second device. The method further includes locking the vaporizer in response to the vaporizer being within the communication range. The method further includes receiving information associated with a user of the vaporizer. The method further includes determining, based on the received information, an age of the user and unlocking, by the one or more processors and based on the age of the user satisfying a threshold, the vaporizer to activate the operation of the vaporizer.

Abstract: A vaporizer system may include a vaporizer device communicatively coupled with a user device configured to control the functions and/or features of the vaporizer device. The vaporizer device may serve as a replacement for traditional combustible cigarettes. Accordingly, the user device may be configured to collect usage data from the vaporizer device and generate recommendations to enhance and/or expedite the transition from traditional combustible cigarettes to the vaporizer device. For example, the user device may provide puff coaching to enable a more satisfying initial experience. Alternatively and/or additionally, the user device may recommend pod types and/or puff patterns that are associated with a reduction in overall intake.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to hair brushes, hair brush elements and hair brush configurations. In one embodiment, a hair brush element includes a pedestal, and a setting fixed to the pedestal, the setting including a plurality of first elements extending out from the setting and a plurality of second elements extending from the setting and interspersed with the first elements. The second elements have a smaller width relative to the first elements. Another embodiment is directed to a hair brush including a handle, and a brush element configuration supported by the handle. The brush element configuration includes a plurality of brush elements. In one embodiment, the brush element configuration includes a plurality of bristles. Another embodiment is directed to a hair brush including a handle, a lid element configured to retain and dispense dry shampoo and a brush element configuration. The configuration allows for application of dry shampoo to hair.
