Abstract: A display system including an imager for forming an image, and a projection lens system for projecting the image formed by the imager is described. For each pixel in the plurality of pixels, the imager is configured to emit a cone of light having a central ray having a direction that varies with location of the pixel in the imager. The variation may increase a brightness of an image projected through the projection lens system by at least 30 percent. The display system may include a light guide having a light insertion portion adapted to receive light; a light transport portion disposed to receive light from the light insertion portion; and a light extraction portion disposed to receive light from the light transport portion.

Abstract: A topical applicator of the propel/repel type includes a reservoir, an attachable applicator cap, and a metered dosing system. The reservoir is suitable for mixing a topical formulation of multiple constituents using an electronic mortar and pestle and is closed using the applicator cap. Alternatively, the reservoir may be prefilled with a ready-to-use cream and medicament formulation, then sealed with a removable seal. The topical applicator can include a fast purge feature that overrides the metered dosing system to facilitate removal of air from the reservoir. The topical applicator can also include a one-way ratcheting feature to prevent reverse movement (repel) of the metered dosing system. Metered doses can be dispensed through holes in the applicator cap by rotating a knob, which has detent positions that correspond to discrete doses, and which provides audible and tactile feedback.

Abstract: Techniques for enabling entities to provide a system with data representing specific relationships of various endpoint devices for the purpose of responding to user inputs are described. A system may include an application program interface (API) that enables an entity to provide the system with data describing related endpoint devices, as well as data representing terminology that a user may use to refer to a specific endpoint device. After the system receives such data, when a user associates an endpoint device with their user profile, the system can associate that endpoint device with various other endpoint devices based on data previously received from an entity. When the system receives a user input, the system may traverse endpoint device relationships, represented in a user profile, to determine an endpoint device that should be invoked to respond to the user input.
