  • Patent number: 11960683
    Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

  • Publication number: 20230222441
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include apparatuses, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products for automatic product verification and shelf product gap analysis. Some embodiments utilize a multi-imager imaging engine to capture at least two image data objects associated with at least a near field and a far field via corresponding near and far-field imagers. The far field image data object in some embodiments is processed to identify, and/or detect and decode, product information on a product label at a shelving location for future processing. The near-field image data object may be processed to identify a product set located within the environment surrounding the product label. The information identified from each image data object may be processed to identify whether one or more product mismatches, pricing mismatches, and/or product gaps are present at the shelving location, with improved likelihood of success for each task.

  • Publication number: 20220106059
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable medium, vehicles, and engines provided herein include or implement flexible engine monitoring features. In one aspect, a user-modifiable file containing selected parameters is uploaded to a vehicle having a propulsion system, such as an engine. A computing device associated with the engine generates, without modifying reporting software or any other software, a parameter reporting list that includes the selected parameters. During operation, parameter values for the selected parameters are recorded. In another aspect, a data query is transmitted to an aerial vehicle while in-flight. The data query includes a user-modifiable file that contains selected parameters for which parameter values are to be recorded. A computing device associated with the engine generates, without modifying reporting software or any other software, a parameter reporting list that includes the selected parameters.

  • Publication number: 20210216892
    Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to device abuse detection using machine learning. In this regard, a system compares accelerometer data of an electronic device with a plurality of defined accelerometer threshold values to identify a primary abuse event category associated with the electronic device. In response to the primary abuse event category being identified, the system generates a first prediction for a secondary abuse event category associated with the electronic device based on a machine learning technique associated with inertial data of the electronic device, image data generated by the electronic device, and audio data captured by the electronic device. Furthermore, the system transmits the inertial data, the image data and the audio data to a network server device associated with a machine learning service to facilitate generation of a second prediction for the secondary abuse event category based on the inertial data, the image data, and the audio data.
