Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, an implicit social graph may be generated using eye-tracking data. Eye-tracking data associated with a visual component may be received from a user device. One or more attributes may be associated with a user of the user device based on the association between the eye-tracking data and the visual component. Based on these attributes, an implicit social graph may be generated. A suggestion, such as a suggestion of another user, a product, an offer, or a targeted advertisement may be provided to the user.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods for actuating variable stiffness material (VSM) structures and achieving deformation of the structures. The apparatus and the associated methods use internal embedded actuation elements and/or externally attached elements to the VSM structures to achieve the desired deformation. In particular, the actuation can be changed due to the variable stiffness nature of the materials. That is, the invention provides the ability to control the deformation of structures using local stiffness control over subregions of the component in addition to or in substitution for actuation. Furthermore, the invention exploits the variable stiffness properties of the VSM structures to enable new functionalities impossible to realize with conventional constant stiffness materials.

Abstract: A method for displaying text of an e-book on an electronic media reader is disclosed. The method includes reading a rate setting that may be input by a user via a human input device. The method further includes reading a magnified text size setting input by the user via a human input device. The method further includes displaying on the electronic media reader a page of the e-book at a first text size that may be smaller than the magnified text size. The method further includes sequentially displaying subsequent words or groups of words of the page of the e-book at the magnified text size and at the rate, wherein only one word or one group of words may be displayed at the magnified text size at one time.
