Abstract: A water management system including a first end point device in communication with a first fixture, the first end point including a first end point electronic processor configured to receive data associated with the first fixture and a first fixture identifier. The water management system also includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a set of functions, such as receiving the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier, associating the first fixture identifier with a first location classification and a first type classification, processing the data associated with the first fixture to organize the data based at least in part on the first location classification associated with the first fixture identifier or the first type classification associated with the first fixture identifier, and transmitting the organized data of the first fixture to a user device for display.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for bot interaction are described. For example, some implementations can include a computer-executed method including providing a messaging application, on a first computing device associated with a first user, to enable communication between the first user and at least one other user. The method can also include detecting, at the messaging application, a user request, and programmatically determining that an operation in response to the user request requires sharing of data associated with the first user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for a wearable device with power state control. In one instance, the device a functional module to operate in a first power state or in a second power state that is different from the first power state; a power source coupled with the functional module to provide operational power to the functional module; and a power state control module coupled with the functional module, to cause the functional module to transition from the first power state to the second power state in response to an input. The power state control module may comprise a power generating device to generate power responsive to the input, independent of the power source, and in response to the generated power, cause the functional module to transition from the first power state to the second power state. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Virtual links are used between two different displays to represent a single virtual object. In one example, the invention includes generating a three-dimensional space having a first display of a real first device and a second display of a real second device and a space between the first display and the second display, receiving a launch command as a gesture with respect to the first display, the launch command indicating that a virtual object is to be launched through the space toward the second display, determining a trajectory through the space toward the second display based on the received launch command, and presenting a portion of the trajectory on the second display.

Abstract: A device includes a processor to receive input data from an image detector, where the input data includes data obtained from tracking air movements of a user's body part interacting with a virtual object of the electronic display, the processor to map the input data to a control input to move the virtual object beyond the display. The device could, for example, include a mobile device such as a smartphone or a laptop. The virtual object could for example move to another display or to a bezel of the device. A touch screen sensor may allow the virtual object to be pinched from the display, before being lifted beyond the display. The processor may map the input data to control input to create a virtual binding of the virtual object in order to create a visual rendering of a connection between the virtual object and the user's body part.

Abstract: Whereas ordinary unmodified brass instruments have too wide of a pitch center to be played with utmost precision, this invention solves that by manipulating the physics of the path of the sound exiting a bell of a brass instrument, therefor creating tighter pitch centers throughout the range of the instrument to which it is applied. Two layers of cork are cut from a template and glued together with an inner liner of plastic and sealed with a rubberized sealant on the entrance and exit holes of the cone the final product produces. The outside of the exposed cork is then sealed for durability and water resistance. This product is customized for all brass instruments.
