Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for determining an amount of physical bend in an electronic device and comparing the amount of physical bend to a threshold. Additionally, a warning may be generated if the amount of physical bend exceeds the threshold. In one example, one or more values representing the amount of physical bend are stored to a nonvolatile memory on the device and retrieved in accordance with one or more of a diagnostic push event or a diagnostic pull event.

Abstract: The inventory capture system, method and apparatus (i.e., the inventory capture system) may provide for creating and updating an inventory of clothing for a user. The inventory capture system may use voice and image recognition to capture an inventory of clothing and provide users the ability to enhance the captured details about an inventory of clothing with annotations. Moreover, the inventory capture system may provide a way to facilitate retailers and users to leverage the user's existing inventory of clothing and augment the user's inventory of clothing with shared, purchased and/or rented clothing.

Abstract: Technologies for smart bookmark synchronization may include a smart bookmark device, a bookmark server, and one or more client computing devices. The smart bookmark device transmits an identification of a book to the bookmark server, which determines a format of the book based on the identification. The smart bookmark device captures sensor data indicative of the current reading position of a user in the book and transmits the sensor data to the bookmark server. The sensor data may include image data of a current page in the book. The bookmark server determines bookmark data indicative of the current reading position based on the sensor data. The bookmark server transmits the bookmark data to the smart bookmark device and, in some embodiments, to the client computing devices and/or applications. The client computing devices may synchronize playback of a digital media book with the bookmark data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A computing system of an electronic puzzle includes a memory, an electronically controlled lock, and a plurality of sensors to generate sensor data. The computing system controls the electronically controlled lock to regulate access to an inner chamber of the electronic puzzle and monitors the sensor data generated by the plurality of sensors. The computing system generates an input password based on the monitored sensor data, compares the input password to a puzzle password stored in the memory, and unlocks the electronically controlled lock to permit access to the inner chamber in response to a determination that the input password matches the puzzle password.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system for sensor-based objective determination. In general, sensor data may be used to render objective determinations that were not previously possible due to the unavoidable subjectivity of human-based officiating systems. For example, at least one device may be configured to make objective determinations during the course of a sporting event. Data collection circuitry may receive data from sensor devices coupled to players, equipment, playing surfaces, etc. Data analysis circuitry may categorize the data and input the data into a model to determine if an infraction occurred. For example, categorization may involve determining a type of infraction that may have occurred based on the sensor data. The model may then be selected based on the type of infraction, the model being developed utilizing prior sensor data, rules for the sporting event, etc. Output circuitry may generate a notification based on the infraction determination.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to device-monitoring systems, and in particular (but not exclusively) to detecting and deterring unauthorized use of electronic systems at distinct locations and during specific time periods. An apparatus consistent with the present disclosure includes logic, at least partially implemented in hardware, to receive an entrance message. The entrance message may include at least one policy for the manner to which a device is to be operated when present within a device restricted area. The apparatus may also include logic to send an acknowledgement notification to indicate receipt of the entrance message and an agreement to abide by the at least one policy. Furthermore, the apparatus may also include logic to detect an attempt to execute an action contrary to the at least one policy.

Abstract: In some embodiments, provided is a processor chip including self deactivation logic to deactivate the processor chip after a threshold of qualified events have been monitored.

Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a system may involve obtaining an image from a front-facing camera of the system, and conducting a facial distance analysis on the image. In addition, a visualization characteristic of display content associated with the system may be modified based at least in part on the facial distance analysis.
