The second electromagnetic radiation sensor is positioned inside the tunnel 106 at entry point. The electromagnetic radiation generator 108 receives a second signal from the second electromagnetic radiation sensor to generate an angular beam of electromagnetic radiation on the object 112.

Abstract: Techniques are described for preventing loss of notifications during network disconnections (e.g., during temporary network disconnections that last a number of seconds or minutes) for network communication scenarios where the client device and service have a persistent network connection. For example, notifications can be stored in a message store while a client device is disconnected from a network (e.g., from a network communication channel). The notifications can be stored in association with a time-to-live (TTL) value that is associated with a notification type of the notification and/or with other notification ordering parameters. When the client device reconnects to the network, the stored notifications can be sent to the client device in an order that is based at least in part on the TTL values of the notifications and/or other notification ordering parameters.

Abstract: Various facial recognition systems may benefit from appropriate use of computer systems. For example, certain face analysis systems may benefit from an all-in-one convolutional neural network that has been appropriately configured. A method can include obtaining an image of a face. The method can also include processing the image of the face using a first set of convolutional network layers configured to perform subject-independent tasks. The method can further include subsequently processing the image of the face using a second set of convolutional network layers configured to perform subject-dependent tasks. The second set of convolutional network layers can be integrated with the first set of convolutional network layers to form a single convolutional neural network. The method can additionally include outputting facial image detection results based on the processing and subsequent processing.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, a user-recognition device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The user-recognition device may then display a first graphical element indicating a target location for placing the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. Additionally, the user-recognition device may determine locations of the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. The user-recognition device may then display a second graphical element indicating the locations, such as when the locations are not proximate to the target location. Additionally, the user-recognition device may display instructions for moving the portion of the user to the target location. Based on detecting that the location of the portion of the user is proximate to the target location, the user-recognition device may send data representing the portion of the user to a remote system.
