Abstract: A computing system translates a world space position of a hand of a human target to a screen space cursor position of a user interface. When the cursor overlaps a button in the user interface, the computing system actuates the button in response to a movement of the hand in world space that changes the cursor position by a depth threshold along a z-axis regardless of an initial z-axis position of the cursor. When the button includes an activation lock, the computing system unlocks the activation lock, prior to button actuation, if the cursor path satisfies unlocking criteria.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for aligning a gemstone such as diamond (106) with a predetermined vertical axis (108) is described. The apparatus includes an upwardly extending nozzle (105) aligned with the vertical axis (108) and sized to allow the gemstone (106) to settle into it under the action of gravity so that the article is supported by the aperture. A fluid supply system supplies fluid to the nozzle (105) under sufficient pressure to support the article within or above the aperture. A fluid pressure control system controls the pressure of fluid supplied to the nozzle (105), so that it can be reduced gradually.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ornament comprising a spherical body (D) with a through-hole (10) and a hanging wire member (6) inserted into the through-hole (10). The through-hole (10) is formed by connecting through a first hole (1) and a second hole (2) that are drilled toward the center (S) of the spherical body (P), respectively from right-left symmetrical positions in the upper half section (U) of the spherical body (D). A curved surface (5) is formed by cutting off the vertical type (4) of the inclined angle formed by the first hole (1) and the second hole (2) in the through-hole (10).

Abstract: It is objected to provide a jewelry article for eyeglasses to prevent losing a jewel by fall, which is held by a magnet on a lens of the pair of eyeglasses. A base and a rear surface magnet are attracting each other by a magnetic force through a lens of eyeglasses, therefore, the base and the rear surface magnet are held on a fixed position on the lens of eyeglasses. The base, that holds the jewel, is fixed to the chain part, which is connected with an eyeglass frame. Thus, even if the main body of a jewel falls from the lens of eyeglasses, the jewel is in a state of being hanged down on the eyeglass frame through the chain part. This prevents losing the jewel.

Abstract: A jewelry item having a rotatable gemstone includes a substantially hollow housing having a bezel and gemstone rotatably mounted on the upper end thereof. Received within the housing is a quartz movement type motor that operates a plurality of interrelated, contiguous gears to rotate the bezel. The gear ratios are such that the bezel will rotate at a predetermined, deliberate speed to achieve a desired aesthetic affect. A switch having a battery mounted thereon is hingedly attached to a side edge of the housing for activating the motor.

Abstract: An interchangeable jewelry insert having an extension formed of elastic material that can frictionally engage a surface of a receptacle for receiving the insert. The interchangeable jewelry insert may be detachably attached to any item that can be configured to have a receptacle for receiving the insert.
