Abstract: An electronic device may use one or more sensors to detect a user intent for content associated with a point of interest in the physical environment of the user. In response to the user intent for content, the electronic device may transmit information associated with the point of interest to an external server. The transmitted information may include depth information, color information, feature point information, location information, etc. The external server may compare the received information to a database of points of interest and identify a matching point of interest in the database. The external server then transmits additional contextual information and/or application information associated with the matching point of interest to the electronic device. The electronic device may run an application and/or present content based on the received information associated with the matching point of interest.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide XR in which virtual objects are positioned based on the accuracy of localizing an electronic device in a physical environment. In some implementations, the technique assesses the accuracy of localization (e.g., centimeter-level accuracy, room-level accuracy, and building-level accuracy) and dynamically adjusts a display strategy. In some implementations, the technique determines a condition causing inaccuracy (e.g., a semantic condition such as “too fast”, “too far”, “too dark”), and provides a notification (e.g., “too fast-slow down”, “too far-move closer”, “too dark-turn on a light”) at the electronic device based on the condition causing the inaccuracy in the localization.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method is performed for tiered posture awareness. The method includes: while presenting a three-dimensional (3D) environment, via the display device, obtaining head pose information for a user associated with the computing system; determining an accumulated strain value for the user based on the head pose information; and in accordance with a determination that the accumulated strain value for the user exceeds a first posture awareness threshold: determining a location for virtual content based on a height value associated with the user and a depth value associated with the 3D environment; and presenting, via the display device, the virtual content at the determined location while continuing to present the 3D environment via the display device.

Abstract: A method includes presenting a representation of a three-dimensional (3D) environment from a current point-of-view. The method includes identifying a region of interest within the 3D environment. The region of interest is located at a first distance from the current point-of-view. The method includes receiving, via the audio sensor, an audible signal and converting the audible signal to audible signal data. The method includes displaying, on the display, a visual representation of the audible signal data at a second distance from the current point-of-view that is a function of the first distance between the region of interest and the current point-of-view.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, an eye tracker, and a display. The eye tracker receives eye tracking data associated with one or more eyes of a user of the electronic device. The method includes displaying, on the display, a first user interface (UI) element that is associated with a first selection region and a second selection region. While displaying the first UI element, the method includes determining, based on the eye tracking data, that a first targeting criterion is satisfied with respect to the first selection region, and determining, based on the eye tracking data, that a second targeting criterion is satisfied with respect to the second selection region. The method includes selecting the first UI element based at least in part on determining that the first targeting criterion is satisfied and the second targeting criterion is satisfied.

Abstract: A system and method enables users to prepare property and other types of tax appeal forms by an automated template while performing back-end database look-ups and analyses to determine the extent of the appeal. The template can be readily adjusted or added by system administrators to accommodate changes in the tax procedures or newly added jurisdictions, respectively.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an online shopping search engine for vehicle specific products are described. One embodiment includes selecting a year, make, and model, selecting at least one product category, presenting at least one vehicle specific product based upon at least one query of a database using at least the year, make and model information, and the at least one product category, selecting one of the presented vehicle specific products, presenting a list of resellers, selecting one of the presented resellers, and performing a handoff to the website of the selected resellers. Typically, the database is a database of vehicle specific products identified based upon year, make, model fitment information and at least one product category.

Abstract: Systems and methods for associating aftermarket parts with information concerning a vehicle are described. One embodiment includes obtaining information concerning a vehicle year, make, and model, providing a directory of aftermarket parts compatible with the obtained vehicle year, make, and model, selecting at least one aftermarket part from the directory, storing a vehicle profile including the selected aftermarket part, associating an advertisement with the selected aftermarket part, receiving an instruction to display the stored profile, retrieving the stored profile and the associated advertisement, displaying the stored profile and the associated advertisement, and recording information concerning the display of the associated advertisement.

Abstract: A method for program management is presented. A governance structure is determined for a program. The governance structure provides leadership for the program and includes at least one member. At least one member of the governance structure applies at least one program management discipline to the program. At least one member of the governance structure applies knowledge management to the program. At least one member of the governance structure applies at least one project management methodology to at least one project associated with the program.

A method for manufacturing the flooring utilizing lamination processes is also provided.

Abstract: NiAl is preheated to a temperature between 1530.degree. C. and 1638.degree. C. causing some of the aluminum to evaporate along the faying surfaces thereby forming a glazed layer of nickel rich self-generated filler metal. The glazed faying surfaces are placed in contact, heated to 1530.degree. C. to 1570.degree. C., and pressed together to form a fusion weld.

Abstract: A patient transfer apparatus includes an air bearing attached beneath an inflatable cushion which has peripheral chambers so that the peripheral portions fill before the central portions. A diverter valve enables the apparatus to tap into the pressurized air supply provided by a fluidized bed. A tri-fold patient transfer board has a pair of parallel spaced apart ribs extending in the longitudinal direction near the center line of each tri-fold section.

Abstract: A personal coffee roaster for effecting roasting of small quantities of green coffee beans and having limited physical size and weight, has a roasting chamber with at least one perforate wall, elements for creating a heated gaseous flow through the perforate wall into the roasting chamber and an exit orifice leading from the roasting chamber, in gaseous communication therewith, for providing an outlet for the heated gas flow.
