Abstract: A method comprising: receiving, from an augmented reality (AR) device, visual data representing a view through a viewing area of the AR device; determining, based on the visual data, a product identifier associated with the visual data; generating recommendation data based on the product identifier, comprising: discovering an item and a timeline associated with purchasing the item; comparing a user defined budget, a price of the item, purchase data associated with a purchase of an object included in the visual data, and an account of the user to determine an affordability value, wherein the affordability value indicates whether the purchase of the object prevents the user from purchasing the item in accordance with the timeline and the budget; and generating the recommendation data based on the affordability value; and sending the recommendation data to the AR device to cause the AR device to display the recommendation data.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods of providing real-time notifications on affordability and advisability of purchasing goods or services using augmented reality. The method includes receiving, from AR device associated with a user, visual data representing a view through a viewing area of the AR device. The visual data comprises geolocation data indicating a geolocation of the AR device. The method includes identifying an image of an object included in the visual data. The method includes determining, based on the visual data, a product identifier associated with the object. The method includes determining an attempt by the user to purchase the object. The method includes generating, in response to determining the attempt, recommendation data based on the product identifier and an account associated with the user. The method includes sending the recommendation data to the AR device to cause the AR device to display the recommendation data to the user.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to satisfying the need to measure and monitor uterine activity non-invasively and accurately. Using superconducting quantum interference device sensors, we have established the feasibility of recording uterine contractile activity with high enough spatial-temporal resolution to determine the regions of localized activation and propagation over the uterus. With the large surface area and the shape of the array, spatial-temporal recordings of uterine activity were obtained using 151 sensors yielding a better insight into the mechanism of uterine contraction. By obtaining a contour plot of the magnetic field distribution, we were able to localize the areas of activation over the uterus during a contraction.
