Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a subscriber device, a request including virtual region characteristics and an occupancy threshold, and determining, using image data captured by a camera and the virtual region characteristics, a virtual region corresponding to a portion of a physical region within a field of view of the camera. The virtual region is smaller than the physical region. The method also includes determining, using the image data, an occupancy of the virtual region and determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold. In response to determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold, the method also includes generating a notification to the subscriber device.

Abstract: Dynamic refresh rate (DRR) switching is used to dynamically update a refresh rate of content presented on an interface. When a first application and a second application are presented on a user interface at a first refresh rate; a request may be received to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second, higher, refresh rate. DRR switching is initiated as the first refresh rate is temporarily boosted to a second refresh rate. Applications that are opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at the second refresh rate, while applications that are not opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at a virtualized refresh rate that matches the first refresh rate. Thus, the first application refreshes content at the first refresh rate and the second application refreshes content at the second, higher refresh rate, providing a smooth user experience without unnecessarily utilizing power consumption.

Abstract: A headlamp apparatus is described that is suitable for use by health care providers. The apparatus is directed to a headlamp that provides the ability for a user to block contaminants from entering into an internal portion or cavity of the headlamp while also providing the user the ability to sanitize the internal components of the headlamp without disassembly. The apparatus is further directed to a headlamp having an actuatable iris and associated lens whereby continuous enlarging of a diameter of an aperture of the iris continuously, linearly actuates the lens away from the iris and continuously reducing the diameter of the aperture of the iris continuously, linearly actuates the lens towards the iris.

Abstract: A water conserving showerhead saves over 70 % of the water used during a traditional shower, while providing the same comfort and cleaning effects. The showerhead may include a motion sensor, a personal computer (PC) board, a temperature sensor, and a ball valve. The showerhead is used by first turning on the showerhead via an application (app) on a mobile device and the PC board or similar means. When the showerhead is started, the ball valve opens and allows the cold water within the showerhead and pipes to exit. When the temperature sensor detects the desired water temperature, the ball valve is closed, and the shower is ready for the user. During the shower, the user may step out of the active shower area for numerous reasons. A motion sensor detects when the user steps outside of the active shower area, and the ball valve is closed, shutting off the water.

Abstract: Example implementations may relate to methods and systems for detecting an event in a physical region within a physical space. Accordingly, a computing system may receive from a subscriber device an indication of a virtual region within a virtual representation of the physical space such that the virtual region corresponds to the physical region. The system may also receive from the subscriber a trigger condition associated with the virtual region, where the trigger condition corresponds to a particular physical change in the physical region. The system may also receive sensor data from sensors in the physical space and a portion of the sensor data may be associated with the physical region. Based on the sensor data, the system may detect an event in the physical region that satisfies the trigger condition and may responsively provide to the subscriber a notification that indicates that the trigger condition has been satisfied.
