Abstract: Systems and methods of determining a geographic location based conversion via a computer network. A data processing system can receive, from a computing device, an indication of interest in an online content item that is associated with a commercial entity having a location. The system can also receive data points that each include time information and location information of a computing device. The system can generate a valid cluster indicating an activity at the location of the commercial entity by evaluating the time information and the location information of two or more data points with a duration threshold and a location threshold. The system can use the valid cluster to identify the indication of interest in the online content item as the location based conversion based on the activity at the location of the commercial entity.

Abstract: Disclosed are a touch sensitive display and a method of operation thereof. The display comprises a sensor having an input put array of electrodes and, capacitively coupled thereto, an output array of electrodes and a controller operable to perform a scan operation at every intersection point of said input array. The scan operation comprises measuring a touch value for an intersection point; determining a proportional difference between said touch value and a base touch value for said intersection point as a proportion of said base touch value, wherein said base touch value is indicative of there being no touch event on the sensor; and comparing the proportional difference to a predetermined proportional touch threshold so as to determine whether there is a touch event at that point.

Abstract: A method for treating abnormalities of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the foot of a mammal includes administering an amount of neuromuscular toxin effective to treat the abnormalities via intramuscular injection to the extensor hallucis brevis muscle of the affected foot of the mammal. Further effectiveness can be achieved by also administering the toxin to adductor hallucis and/or the flexor hallucis brevis (lateral head) muscles of the affected foot. One of the abnormalities to be treated is hallux abductovalgus, commonly referred to as a bunion.

Abstract: A see-through, near-eye mixed reality head mounted display (HMD) device includes left and right see-through display regions within which virtual images are displayable. These left and right see-through display regions each having a transmittance that is less than one hundred percent. The see-through, near-eye mixed reality HMD device also includes a see-through transmittance compensation mask that includes a left window through which the left see-through display region is visible and a right window through which the right see-through display region is visible. In accordance with various embodiments, the see-through transmittance compensation mask is used to provide a substantially uniform transmittance across the field-of-view of a user wearing the HMD device.

Abstract: The present disclosure enables applications of a computing system to coordinate object-based audio resources by the use of a minimum resource working set. The minimum resource working set encourages an application to be fair in its requirements since specifying a large number will most likely result in the application receiving zero resources, or losing all of its resources to another application. A working set, which can include a minimum and a maximum working set, also provides a useful metric for the spatial audio resource manager to use when balancing demand. In addition, a minimum working set provides a performance metric for resource balancing since it exposes what the minimum functional requirement is from the maxim requested resource claim.

Abstract: In a communication network (100) comprising a plurality of wireless devices (120), a method determines whether to change one or more communication channels over which the wireless devices (120) communicate. The method includes receiving a plurality of configuration parameters for the communication network (100); receiving information related to one or more communication channel's availability for communications by one or more of the wireless devices (120); and determining whether to change one or more communication channels over which the wireless devices (120) communicate by executing a communication channel change determination algorithm using the configuration parameters and the received information related to one or more communication channel's availability for communications by one or more of the wireless devices (120).

Abstract: Techniques for determining network paths for voice calls include analyzing network path measurements of the network paths to determine historical network performance data for the network paths, and identifying a group of top-k network paths based on those network paths having better network performance data other network paths. A particular network path may be selected using various techniques, such as selecting the network path with the best historical network performance, selecting a network path by applying a multi-armed bandit algorithm to select the path from the group of top-k network paths, or selecting a network path at random. The selected network path may be used to by a source-destination pair of computing devices for a voice call, and a record of that voice call may be used to update network performance information for the particular network path.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for designing a digital design layout that includes text includes receiving a first user input requesting creation of a text editing element. The text editing element may include a text window and one or more graphical user interface controls associated with the text window. In response to receiving the first user input, the text editing element is displayed via a graphical user interface. The text editing element includes a graphical representation of a text window containing text, an adjustable slide control for changing the text characteristic, and a resize handle for changing the size of the text window. The method further includes receiving a second user input requesting adjustment of the adjustable slide control. In response to receiving the second user input, a characteristic of the text contained in the text window is changed without changing the width and the height of the text window.

Abstract: Participants can control a number of aspects of a virtual reality session. A participant of the session can control the position of an object, such as an avatar. Spectators do not have control over aspects of a session. For instance, spectators cannot control the position of objects or change properties of objects within a virtual environment. In some configurations, the position of a spectator's viewing area is based on the position of an object that is controlled by a participant. In some embodiments, a spectator's viewing area can follow a participant's position but the spectator can look in any direction from that position. By following the participant's position, spectators can follow the action of a session yet have the freedom to control the direction of their viewing area to enhance their viewing experience. Customized spatial audio is also generated for the spectator based on the direction of their viewing area.

Abstract: A head-worn assembly is disclosed including a head-worn device supported on a headband. The headband may include a first loop positioned around the head, and possibly a second loop affixed to the first loop and positioned over the head. Weight distribution and comfort of the head-worn assembly may be optimized by mounting the head-worn device at an approximate center (front to back) of the headband, and further balancing the weight of the head-worn device (front to back) over the mounting point. The weight distribution and comfort of the head-worn assembly may be further optimized by providing several user-customizable adjustments to the head-worn assembly.

Abstract: Methods and devices for correcting warping in spatial audio may include identifying a geometric transform that defines a geometric warping between a first spatial geometric model that represents how sound is produced in a first volumetric space and a second spatial geometric model that represents how sound is produced in a second volumetric space different from the first volumetric space. The methods and devices may include determining an inverse of the geometric transform that compensates for the geometric transform. The methods and devices may include applying the inverse of the geometric transform to a first location in the first spatial geometric model by mapping the first location to a second location in the second spatial geometric model to correct for the geometric warping.
