Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for controlling a simulation system in accordance with different user inputs are provided. A user input may comprise an audio input, a physical input, or a combination of audio input and physical input. Controlling a simulation system in accordance with different user inputs may comprise presenting a first simulation state, receiving a user input, analyzing a user input, detecting factors of a user input, detecting an intent, matching an intent, updating a simulation state, and/or selecting a second simulation state in accordance with user input. The different user inputs may be received relative to a simulation state. The different user inputs may cause same or different changes to the simulation state.

Abstract: A simulation system may comprise a headset and an equipment. A wireless communication interface of the headset may receive position information from the equipment. The headset may detect a passively-instrumented object represented in a captured image. The headset may detect a wearable device coupled to the passively-instrumented object. The headset may determine position information for the passively-instrumented object. The headset may present an image of virtual equipment corresponding to the equipment in accordance with the position information from the equipment and the position information detected for the passively-instrumented object.

Abstract: A pretreatment solution for treating fabric including an aqueous solution of 0.5 weight percent to 15 weight percent of a multivalent cationic salt; 0.1 weight percent to 3 weight percent of a blocked isocyanate crosslinking agent; 0.1 weight percent to 15 weight percent of an acrylic polymer; and 0.2% weight percent to 10% weight percent of an acid.

Abstract: A method for monitoring air quality is described. The method includes measuring ethane and methane using a mobile sensor platform to provide sensor data. The sensor data includes methane data and ethane data captured at a nonzero mobile sensor platform speed. Methane and ethane peak(s) are identified in the sensor data. Correlation(s) between the methane and ethane peak(s) and/or between the methane peak(s) and at least one amount of 13C are determined. A source for the methane is determined based on the correlation.

Abstract: A method for associating environmental data with map features is described. The method includes receiving sensor data and receiving position data. The sensor data is associated with each of a plurality of time intervals and is from at least one sensor on at least one mobile sensor platform. The position data is associated with the plurality of time intervals and is from the at least one mobile sensor platform. Trajectories and corrected locations of the mobile sensor platform are generated for the plurality of time intervals using the position data. A position of the mobile sensor platform is assigned to a corresponding map feature for each of the plurality of time intervals based on the trajectories and corrected locations. The sensor data is also processed to generate sensor data values for each of the plurality of time intervals. The sensor data values are assigned to the corresponding map feature of the position of the mobile sensor platform for each of the plurality of time intervals.

Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to maintain an ephemeral gallery of ephemeral messages. An ephemeral message is posted to the ephemeral gallery. The ephemeral message has an associated message duration parameter and a gallery participation parameter. An ephemeral message is removed from the ephemeral gallery in response to the identification of an expired gallery participation parameter.

Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to maintain an ephemeral gallery of ephemeral messages. In response to a view request received from a client device over a distributed computer network, the message collection is supplied to the requesting device by causing automated sequential display on the client device of the ephemeral messages in the collection. The automated sequential display provides display of the messages one after another in chronological sequence such that the oldest message is displayed first.

An ephemeral message is posted to the ephemeral gallery. The ephemeral message has an associated message duration parameter and a gallery participation parameter. An ephemeral message is removed from the ephemeral gallery in response to the identification of an expired gallery participation parameter.

Abstract: A method executed by a computer includes receiving an image from a client device. A facial recognition technique is executed against an individual face within the image to obtain a recognized face. Privacy rules are applied to the image, where the privacy rules are associated with privacy settings for a user associated with the recognized face. A privacy protected version of the image is distributed, where the privacy protected version of the image has an altered image feature.

Abstract: A server maintains a gallery of ephemeral messages. Each ephemeral message is posted to the gallery by a user for viewing by recipients via recipient devices. In response to a gallery view request from any of the recipient devices, the ephemeral messages in the gallery are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message has an associated message availability parameter. Each ephemeral message is removed from the gallery, thus being unavailable for viewing upon request, at expiry of the corresponding message availability parameter.
