Abstract: During an electronic communication between a first user and a second user, an electronic device of the second user displays a graphical representation at a located selected by the first user. The graphical representation provides an indication to the second user where binaural sound associated with the graphical representation will externally localize to the second user. Subsequent movement of the graphical representation changes a location where the binaural sound externally localizes to the second user.

Abstract: A electronic device displays an image that has sound. One or more processors process the sound for the image into binaural sound for a user. The binaural sound has a sound localization point (SLP) with a coordinate location that occurs behind the image while the image is located a near-field distance from a head of the user.

Abstract: A home appliance can operate in a future time frame. Information is obtained from a power distributor in order to determine a time when to operate the home appliance in this future time frame. The home appliance then operates at the time determined with information from the power distributor.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display that displays a video with sound to a user. One or more processors process a first segment or channel of the sound with first HRTFs so the first segment or channel externally localizes in front of and to a right of a head of the user and process a second segment or channel of the sound with second HRTFs so the second segment or channel externally localizes in front of and to a left of the head of the user.

Abstract: A firearm system includes a firearm and a computer. Electronics in the firearm determine data that includes a pathway between different points of aim of the firearm as the firearm moves. The computer receives this data and builds an image of the pathway between the different points of aim of the firearm.

Abstract: An electronic device identifies a location of a physical object that is away from a listener. The electronic device convolves sound so the sound externally localizes as binaural sound to the physical object. The sound plays to the listener through earphones so the listener hears the sound as emanating from the physical object.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus assist listeners in distinguishing between electronically generated binaural sound and physical environment sound while the listener wears a wearable electronic device that provides the binaural sound to the listener. The wearable electronic device generates a visual alert or audio alert when the electronically generated binaural sound occurs.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display and one or more processors. The display displays, when a person is at a location, a virtual image at a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space. The one or more processors process sound with a room impulse response (RIR) for the location in order to generate binaural sound that externally localizes at the SLP in empty space in response to the person being at the location.

Abstract: An electronic device identifies a location of a physical object that is away from a listener. The electronic device convolves sound so the sound externally localizes as binaural sound to the physical object. The sound plays to the listener through earphones so the listener hears the sound as emanating from the physical object.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device (WED) corrects an error where a user hears binaural sound. A processor processes sound into binaural sound that localizes to the user at a location, and the WED determines a gaze direction of the user when the user hears the binaural sound. The WED corrects an error between the location and the gaze direction.

Abstract: A spectroscopic detection system includes a sensor configured to reflect light of a first wavelength associated with a presence of a reference substance on the sensor and configured to reflect light of a second wavelength associated with a presence of a monitored substance on the sensor, wherein the monitored substance flows to the sensor from a circulating fluid. The spectroscopic detection system further includes a detector that has first and second channels for respectively receiving the light of the first and second wavelengths reflected from the sensor and one or more processors in electrical communication with the detector and configured to identify an excess condition of the monitored substance with respect to the circulating fluid based on a ratio of a second amount of the light of the second wavelength received at the detector to a first amount of the light of the first wavelength received at the detector.

Abstract: A method improves performance of a computer that provides binaural sound to a listener. A memory stores coordinate locations that follow a path of how the head of the listener moves. This path is retrieved in anticipation of subsequent head movements of the listener to improve computer performance of executing binaural sound.

Abstract: A portable electronic device (PED) divides an area around a user into a three-dimensional (3D) zone. A wearable electronic device worn on a head of the user displays the 3D zone in response to the wearable electronic device detecting that the user is leaving the zone. The wearable electronic device plays binaural sound that emanates to the user from sound localization points (SLPs) inside the zone.

Abstract: In one aspect, a dialysis fluid cassette includes an inlet fluid line, multiple outlet fluid lines, and a valve including an actuation feature by which the valve can be rotated to fluidly communicate the inlet fluid line with a selected fluid line of the multiple outlet fluid lines.

Abstract: A method executed by a head mounted display moves a virtual object with respect to a real object in order to maintain the virtual object in a field of view of the head mounted display. The head mounted display displays the virtual object and the real object. The virtual object moves or changes when the head mounted display moves to maintain the virtual object in the field of view.

Abstract: A method selects a location where to localize binaural sound to a listener. Sounds are assigned to different zones or different sound localization points (SLPs). The sounds are convolved with sound localization information so the sounds externally localize as binaural sound away from the listener and into the assigned zone or to the assigned SLP.

Abstract: A smartphone displays a user interface that simultaneously shows a first image that when selected by a listener plays sound as stereo audio to a listener wearing headphones or the earphones, a second image that when selected by the listener plays the sound as spatial audio through the headphones or the earphones, and an image of a head of a person.

Abstract: First wearable electronic glasses (WEG) capture an image of a real obiect and provide the image to second WEG. The second WEG capture hand gestures performing a task on the obiect, and the first WEG displays the hand gestures that show how to perform the task on the real obiect being displayed through the first WEG.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device displays a virtual object with a real object in a field of view. The virtual object moves to another location with respect to the real object in response to determining movement of the wearable electronic device will cause the virtual object to be outside the field of view.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device displays a virtual object in a field of view of a user wearing the wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device moves the virtual object from the first location to a second location in the field of view in response to determining movement of the wearable electronic device will cause the virtual object to be outside the field of view.
