Abstract: Described are methods and systems of providing an augmented experience on a user device to facilitate user interaction with one or more virtual items. An augmented image comprising an actual object and a virtual item is generated and presented in a user interface. The user interface allows the user to lock a relative position of the virtual item as presented, such that the user may appear to “move” the virtual item. The user interface may also provide sizing information of the virtual item relative item to the actual object.

Abstract: In some cases, a handheld electronic device may operate in a voice input mode or a scanner input mode. When operating in the voice input mode, the handheld electronic device may record and store audio data in memory. In some cases, the stored audio data may be communicated from the handheld electronic device (e.g., via a Wi-Fi connection) to one or more remote computing devices (e.g., for speech processing). When operating in the scanner input mode, the handheld electronic device may record and store item identifier information (e.g., as barcode data) in the memory. In some cases, the stored item identifier data may be communicated to the one or more remote computing devices (e.g., for item identification processing).

Abstract: A high-powered diffraction limited diode pumped solid-state source optically end pumps a compact, widely tunable solid state material. Imaging of the collimated pump beam into the tunable medium produces ideal volumetric overlap producing high conversion efficiencies. Fully integrated pump source provides pump energy at or near the peak absorption wavelength. Birefringent elements placed intracavity are used for linewidth narrowing and tuning of the laser wavelength. Tunable active medium is placed in linear cavity arrangement utilizing a confocal or hemispherical arrangement. Mode waist is minimized in crystal such that there is optimal overlap with pump source while simultaneously maximizing extraction efficiency.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the remote detection of non-conductive pipes is described. The system consists of transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) units. The transmitter unit induces mechanical vibrations into the pipe, and generates a reference signal which is relayed to the receiver. The receiver unit senses vibrations from the ground and converts the vibrations into an electrical signal, and receives the reference signal from the transmitter. Using synchronous detection, the receiver compares the reference signal to the received signal from the ground. The output of the receiver is proportional to the strength of the signal from the ground and therefore indicates the proximity of the receiver to the underground pipe.
