  • Patent number: 11747631
    Abstract: A head-mounted fixing device includes a head frame, a bracket and a headband. Two side frame portions of the head frame abut against two sides of a user’s head, and a front frame portion of the head frame is located between the two side frame portions and abuts against the user’s forehead. The headband is movably connected to two first adjusting members of the head frame, so the position of the front frame portion on the forehead can be adjusted by adjusting positions of the two first adjusting members on the headband. The bracket abuts against the top of the head. The headband can wrap around and abut against the back of the head. The head frame, the bracket and the headband abut against the head to restrict the head-mounted fixing device from moving relative to the head, so that the head-mounted fixing device may be worn without shaking.

  • Publication number: 20230252019
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining whether a set of words are included in a word set. When the set of words are in the word set, the method further includes determining a set of identigens for each word of the word set to produce sets of identigens, where a set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the word set. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules, the sets of identigens to produce an entigen set. The method further includes assigning a single new entigen to represent the entigen set, where the single new entigen represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the word set.

  • Publication number: 20230111590
    Abstract: A directional backlit display device includes a light source module, a reflective narrow-angle diffuser, a backlit type display panel, an eye tracking device, and a controller. The diffuser includes a shaft and is utilized to reflect and uniformly diffuse the light to provide a uniform directional light beam. The backlit type display device panel is included on the projecting optical path of the uniform directional light beam. The uniform directional light beam illuminates an image displayed on the backlit type display device panel and projects to a projection area. The controller receives an eye position information from the eye tracking device and determines a coordinate. The controller determines a corrective projection area when the coordinate deviates from the projection area, and the drive module rotates the reflective narrow-angle diffuser around an axis of the shaft according to the corrective projection area, so the image projection area moves with the eye.

  • Patent number: 11620392
    Abstract: A database-management system provides sargable evaluation for query predicates that compare an “LHS” encrypted database-column operand to an “RHS” expression operand. The system directly compares the two operands if all their attributes match. If the operands are encrypted string-type values differing only in length, the system truncates the RHS or pads it with encrypted blanks and, if a truncation loses meaningful data, evaluates the predicate as never satisfying an equality condition. In all other cases, if all attributes of a plaintext RHS don't match those of the plaintext data encoded into the LHS column, the system attempts to cast the RHS to match the plaintext LHS data. An error condition or data loss at this step allows the system to sargably evaluate the predicate without further analysis, but if the casting is successful and error-free, the system encrypts the resulting RHS and performs a sargable predicate evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20230050692
    Abstract: A directivity backlight display device with reflector curvature assisted diffuser includes a light source module, a reflective narrow-angle diffuser, a concave reflector, and a backlit type display panel. The light source module projects a light. The reflective narrow-angle diffuser includes a concave surface or a flat surface served as a reflecting surface. The reflecting surface is provided with a plurality of micro curved mirrors laid out in an array. The light is reflected and diffused by the reflective narrow-angle diffuser and the concave reflector to provide a uniform directional light beam. A backlit type display panel is deployed to display an image. The uniform directional light beam penetrates the backlit type display panel to provide a directional image light beam, and then projects the directional image light beam to a projection area. With this arrangement, a reflective narrow-angle diffuser with a low concave curvature is deployed to achieve a high-directivity image projection.

  • Publication number: 20230005040
    Abstract: A method performed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each word of words of a product-service query to produce sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules of a knowledge database, the sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the product-service query and produce a query entigen group that includes query entigens. The method further includes identifying one or more characteristic entigen categories for a subjective category entigen of the query entigen group. The method further includes recovering a set of response entigens for the product-service query from the knowledge database utilizing the query entigen group and based on the one or more characteristic entigen categories. The set of response entigens provides an answer for the product-service query.
