Abstract: A method of estimating an accident risk level of a first traffic participant based on interactions or negotiations of the first traffic participant with one or more other traffic participants is provided. The method includes generating a plurality of virtual trajectories of the first traffic participant based on a recorded initial position, a recorded final position of the first traffic participant, and a recorded initial position of each of the one or more other traffic participants. The plurality of virtual trajectories of the first traffic participant are associated with a plurality of virtual behaviors of the first traffic participant. The method further includes identifying a virtual trajectory that is most similar to a recorded trajectory of the first traffic participant. The method enables an automatic interpretation of an actual maneuver of the first traffic participant based on the virtual behavior of first traffic participant associated with the identified virtual trajectory.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems that use pressure sensor data as a basis for performing one or more operations in a remote access environment. For example, a device may be configured with one or more pressure sensors that, based on a user's press, may generate pressure sensor data indicating an amount of force being applied by the user's press. The pressure sensor data may be used, in accordance with the various embodiments and variations described herein, to cause one or more operations to be performed by an enterprise resource or an enterprise service. In some embodiments, the one or more operations may be performed by an application or an operating system executing in the remote access environment. Some non-limiting examples of the types of operations that may be performed include a change to a font characteristic and a change to a text characteristic.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for determining a latency associated with a network application. For instance, an electronic device may receive first data from a first sensor, where the first data indicates that a control device received an input. The electronic device may also receive second data from a second sensor, where the second data indicates a change in content being output by a display device. The electronic device may then determine a first time associated with the control device receiving the input and a second time associated with the display device outputting the change in content. Additionally, the electronic device may determine the latency using the first time and the second time. The electronic device may then provide the latency to a user.

Abstract: Fish bone can be ground into nano-scale particles and then mixed with surimi to form a marinade that can be injected into boneless fish fillets or otherwise added to boneless fish fillets to increase the highly bioavailable dietary calcium content, reduce drip loss and cook loss, improve yield, demonstrate improved texture after frozen storage, and/or provide other benefits. The reintroduction of fish bone back into boneless fish fillets can utilize a conventionally discarded natural resource and reduce waste.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide optical lenses comprised of layers of material each having a different index of refraction from that of the other layers wherein the layers of material are arranged in order of increasing index of refraction. The lens region is capable of causing an optical beam that enters the lens region to be focused into an output beam that is smaller in at least one dimension. A waveguide is optically coupled to the optical lens and a photodetector is optically coupled to the waveguide. The optical lens is capable of being manufactured using semiconductor processing techniques and is capable of being integrated into an integrated circuit chip.

Abstract: Optical interfaces that may be employed between large-core optical fibers and chip-scale optoelectronic devices. Described herein are couplers that improve the tolerance of misalignment when a single mode (SM) fiber is used as waveguide input. This enables the possibility of passive/automatic alignment and therefore reduces the production cost. The coupler also serves as a spot-size converter that reduces the spot size and is suitable for applications where a waveguide mode with small cross-section area is of particular importance. One such example can be a waveguide-based SiGe or III-V semiconductor photodetector in which the vertical size of its waveguide mode should be as small as few microns.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method and system provide a rule based user interface control for a software application. At configuration time of an installed software application, the method may provide a design-time environment for defining a rule for a UI element to be displayed in the software application. The rule may affect a value of a property of the UI element and may be persisted in a rule engine. Then at run-time, upon receiving from the software application a request to determine the value of the property, the method may retrieve the rule from the rule engine by a runtime service, evaluate the rule to determine the value for the property and set the value for the property according to the evaluated rule. The set value for the property may be returned to the software application for displaying the UI element.
