Abstract: A sterilization apparatus may include a cavity defined by walls of the apparatus. The sterilization apparatus may further include at least one internal compartment within the cavity. The internal compartment may include at least one reflective surface. The sterilization apparatus may also include one or more ultraviolet lights on a surface of at least one of the walls of the apparatus and directed toward the at least one internal compartment. The one or more ultraviolet lights may be configured to produce ultraviolet light in one or more of the UVB and UVC spectrums.

Abstract: An artificial reality system includes a head mounted display (HMD) and a hand-held device. A virtual boundary can provide for user safety during an artificial reality session. For example, the virtual boundary may be defined to protect the user from collisions with physical objects, such as walls, furniture, or the like, while the user is immersed in the artificial reality session. The artificial reality system can constrain the predicted motion path of a portion of a user's body based on body configuration parameters and range of motion of the joints associated with the body portion. The artificial reality system can then use the constrained motion paths to determine whether or not the virtual boundary warning should be activated.

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide reliable and resilient control channels for communicating control information with vehicle onboard systems using a control channel plane supporting migration of a control channel among various networks forming the control channel plane are described. The control channel plane of embodiments includes at least one data delivery network of a data network and at least one out-of-band network of a security network. Embodiments introduce an in-vehicle system into vehicles facilitating secure data communication between a centralized mobility management platform and the vehicles using a data network for data content communication and a security network for security enhancement with respect to the data network.

Abstract: An optometry apparatus includes an eye chart presentation optical system that presents an optometric chart to an eye to be examined as a subjective eye chart for subjective measurement and a control unit that controls the eye chart presentation optical system to present the optometric chart. The control unit executes an instant presentation of the optometric chart by controlling the eye chart presentation optical system to finish presenting the optometric chart when an instant presentation time has elapsed after starting presenting the optometric chart.

Abstract: A method of authenticating a user so that the user can access a website without entering a unique user credential. A user accesses a target and is presented with an authentication code and an address, and the user sends a message containing the authentication code to that address. Alternatively, the user is pre-supplied with an address and is presented only with an authentication code when the user accesses the target. The user's identity is authenticated by comparing an aspect of the metadata of the message with known metadata aspects, and the user is authenticated by comparing the authentication key presented to the user with the one received in the message. Both the user and the user's identity are authenticated in a single step without requiring the user to input any unique user credential.

Abstract: A spectator tray that has a drink receptacle and a snack receptacle. The drink receptacle is sized to be positioned in an opening, such as in an arm member of a spectator seat. The snack receptacle extends outward from the drink receptacle in a cantilevered fashion. The spectator tray further includes a removable cover member adapted to cover the snack receptacle. The spectator tray is adapted to receive accessories such as noise makers, horns, and a pole for use when mounting the tray into the ground. The spectator tray may be used in conjunction with a mounting device that engages with an adjacent seat. The spectator tray can be formed from a plastic material injection molded to include advertising images on surfaces thereof.

Abstract: A sting trailer has a camera scaffold concealing hidden cameras in a cargo compartment of the trailer. The camera scaffold conceals cameras and wiring so that the cameras are not visible from the interior of the trailer.

Abstract: Systems and method for authenticating users are presented. A system can send a passkey to a user interface of a known device. A user can then send a messaging service message with the passkey from a second device to the system. After receiving the message from the user, the system can extract the passkey from the message, and compare the received passkey against the passkey originally sent to the user. The known device and the second device can each have separate and unique device identifiers.

Abstract: Apparatus having corresponding methods comprise: an audio mixer; a game chat output interface configured to transmit game chat output audio from the apparatus; a mobile output interface configured to transmit mobile output audio from the apparatus; a microphone interface configured to receive microphone audio into the apparatus; and wherein, responsive to selection of a first mode, the audio mixer is configured to provide the game chat output audio based on the microphone audio; and wherein, responsive to selection of a second mode, the audio mixer is further configured to provide the mobile output audio based on the microphone audio.

Abstract: A grill having a bottom section and a middle section for expanding the diameter of the bottom section and at least one insert for separating the opening formed by the bottom section to allow smoking or an open fire. Different cooking surfaces are thereby a grill, a flat frying surface, an open area for receiving and holding a reservoir of water, such as a pot, and an open area for receiving a wok. There is also a hearth section for enclosing at least a portion of the exterior of the bottom section. It also envisions a smoker or ash guard expandable to fit either diameter to protect the cook and provide a surface for placing items attached to the stand apart from the heat source.
