Example methods include receiving, from an authentication client, an authentication request, the authentication request comprising an indication of an account and an indication of a goal authentication level. The method further includes accessing a current authentication level and adjusting, based on a risk level, the goal authentication level to an adjusted goal authentication level. The method further includes selecting a challenge method of a plurality of challenge methods based on a difference between the adjusted goal authentication level and the current authentication level. The method further includes performing the selected challenge method with a user associated with the account, and causing to be sent, to the authentication client, an indication of whether the adjusted authentication level was achieved.

Abstract: An artificial reality system is described that renders, presents, and controls user interface elements within an artificial reality environment, and performs actions in response to one or more detected gestures of the user. In one example, an artificial reality system comprises an image capture device configured to capture image data representative of a physical environment; a head-mounted display (HMD) configured to output artificial reality content; a gesture detector configured to identify, from the image data, a gesture comprising a motion of two fingers from a hand to form a pinching configuration and a subsequent pulling motion while in the pinching configuration; a user interface (UI) engine configured to generate a UI input element in response to identifying the gesture; and a rendering engine configured to render the UI input element as an overlay to at least some of the artificial reality content.

Abstract: A hair care accessory is provided for use in drying and/or styling hair. The hair care accessory can include an elongate frame having a longitudinal axis and an inner lumen extending there through along the longitudinal axis. The hair care accessory can also include a plurality of plates disposed on the elongate frame. The plurality of plates can include a first row of plates that can be spaced circumferentially around a first longitudinal portion of the elongate frame, and at least one second row of plates that can be spaced circumferentially around a second longitudinal portion of the elongate frame. Each plate in the first row of plates can define a first longitudinally extending outlet and each plate in the second row of plates can define a second longitudinally extending outlet. The second longitudinally extending outlet being circumferentially offset from the first longitudinally extending outlet.

Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial reality systems. Such systems provide projections a user can create to specify object interactions. For example, when a user wishes to interact with an object outside her immediate reach, she can use a projection to select, move, or otherwise interact with the distant object. The present technology also includes object selection techniques for identifying and disambiguating between objects, allowing a user to select objects both near and distant from the user. Yet further aspects of the present technology include techniques for interpreting various bimanual (two-handed) gestures for interacting with objects. The present technology further includes a model for differentiating between global and local modes for, e.g., providing different input modalities or interpretations of user gestures.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device are provided that simplify the encoding or translation of optimized read voltage thresholds into a given NAND register format, which may vary depending on NAND technology, block type, page type, or gray code layout. The storage device may include a memory, a circuit that is configured to shift and combine read threshold voltage offsets into a joint read voltage threshold offset, and a controller configured to store the joint read voltage threshold offset in the memory. The circuit may be implemented in hardware of the controller. Alternatively, the controller software or firmware itself may shift and combine the read threshold voltage offsets into the joint read voltage threshold offset. As a result, the number of instructions that the controller typically performs in translating the optimized thresholds may be reduced. Moreover, the simplified translation may be scalable to different NAND technologies or page types.

Abstract: An article of manufacture includes a non-transitory machine-readable medium. The medium includes instructions. The instructions, when read and executed by a processor, cause the processor to identify a first input instruction in a code stream to be executed, determine that the first input instruction includes an atomic operation designation, and selectively block interrupts for a duration of execution of the first input instruction and a second input instruction. The second input instruction is to immediately follow the first input instruction in the code stream.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a master chip controller and a slave chip processor and memory including a plurality of memory locations are provided which allow for simplified processing of descriptors associated with host commands in the slave chip based on an adaptive context metadata message from the master chip. When the controller receives a host command, the controller in the master chip provides to the processor in the slave chip a descriptor associated with a host command, an instruction to store the descriptor in the one of the memory locations, and the adaptive context metadata message mapping a type of the descriptor to the one of the memory locations. The processor may then process the descriptor stored in the one of the memory locations based on the message, for example, by refraining from identifying certain information indicated in the descriptor. Reduced latency in command execution may thereby result.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided which allow for detection of dropped commands based on a die status (ready/busy status) of a command received from a host device. The memory may include dies controlled by chip-enables (CE). After selecting a die using CE, the controller waits between a minimum and maximum time after receiving the command to query the die status, where the minimum time is the time by which the command is expected to begin execution and the maximum time is the shortest time by which the command is expected to complete execution. The controller queries the die status after waiting the time period. If the die status is ready when it should have read busy, the controller detects that the command associated with the data is dropped and requests the host device to reissue the command.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and an encryption core are provided. The storage device may be configured for providing secure data storage, as well as one or more post-processing operations to be performed with the data. The encryption core, which may be configured to decrypt data, may control execution of one or more post-processing operations using the data. A read command received from a host device may include a tag associated with data identified by the read command. When encrypted data is retrieved from memory according to the read command, the encryption core may decrypt the encrypted data and provide the decrypted data for post-processing based on the tag. A corresponding post-processing operation may return a result when executed using the decrypted data. Rather than raw data identified by the read command, the result may be delivered to the host device in response to the read command.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided that allow for storage of tags identifying data types and sequence numbers with data to facilitate data recovery and system integrity checks following a power failure or other system failure event. The controller is configured during a write operation to include a tag in the data identifying the data type as a host write, a recycle write, or another internal write. Following a system failure event, the controller is configured to read the tags to identify the data type in the write. Based on the tags, the controller is configured to properly rebuild or update a logical-to-physical (L2P) table of the storage device to assign correct logical addresses to the most recent data during data recovery, as well as to verify correct logical addresses during system integrity checks.
