    Abstract: A mobile device includes at least one imaging sensor to capture imagery of an environment of the mobile device, a privacy filter module, a spatial feature detection module, an assembly module, and a network interface. The privacy filter module is to perform at least one image-based privacy filtering process using the captured imagery to generate filtered imagery. The spatial feature detection module is to determine a set of spatial features in the filtered imagery. The assembly module is to generate an area description file representative of the set of spatial features. The network interface is to transmit the area description file to a remote computing system. The assembly module may select only a subset of the set of spatial features for inclusion in the area description file.

    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a substrate, an integrated circuit disposed on the substrate, a memory support disposed on the integrated circuit, stacked memory disposed on the memory support and in communication with the integrated circuit, and a lid connected to the substrate. The integrated circuit has a low power region and a high power region. The memory support is disposed on the low power region of the integrated circuit and is configured to allow a flow of fluid therethrough to conduct heat away from the low power region of the integrated circuit. The lid defines a first port, a second port, and a lid volume fluidly connecting the first port and the second port. The lid volume is configured to house the integrated circuit, the memory support, and the stacked memory, while directing the flow of fluid to flow over the integrated circuit, the memory support, and the stacked memory.

    Abstract: A system of multi-modal transmission of packetized data in a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. Based on the input audio signal, a direct action application programming interface can generate a first action data structure, and a content selector component can select a content item. An interface management component can identify first and second candidate interfaces, and respective resource utilization values. The interface management component can select, based on the resource utilization values, the first candidate interface to present the content item. The interface management component can provide the first action data structure to the client computing device for rendering as audio output, and can transmit the content item converted for a first modality to deliver the content item for rendering from the selected interface.

    Abstract: A system mounted within eyewear or headwear to unobtrusively produce and track reference locations on the surface of one or both eyes of an observer is provided to improve the accuracy of gaze tracking. The system utilizes multiple illumination sources and/or multiple cameras to generate and observe glints from multiple directions. The use of multiple illumination sources and cameras can compensate for the complex, three-dimensional geometry of the head and the significant anatomical variations of the head and eye region that occurs among individuals. The system continuously tracks the initial placement and any slippage of eyewear or headwear. In addition, the use of multiple illumination sources and cameras can maintain high-precision, dynamic eye tracking as an eye moves through its full physiological range. Furthermore, illumination sources placed in the normal line-of-sight of the device wearer increase the accuracy of gaze tracking by producing reference vectors that are close to the visual axis of the device wearer.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating search query terms in a computer network environment are provided. A data processing system can obtain, from a computing device via a computer network, a first search query and a second search query, and can determine a relationship between the first search query and the second search query. The data processing system can generate a structured search query representative of the first search query and the second search query, and can select, based on the structured search query, a content item for display by the computing device. The data processing system can receive an indication of a click on the content item, and can provide, to a content publisher computing device, a representation of the structured search query and the indication of the click on the content item.

    Abstract: Techniques are shown for enabling a network system to index data stored on a third-party server without having to access the raw data on the third-party server. Metadata consisting of one or more of indexable text or indexable html or some combination of indexable text and indexable html is associated with the data stored on a third-party server. An indexing utility processes the metadata at the network system from the third-party server and arranges the metadata on the network system in a manner that is searchable by searching functionality of the network system.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for enabling remote alarm hushing with acoustic presence verification. Acoustic presence verification is used to assure that a device attempting to remotely deactivate an alarm is located within a certain distance of an alarming device before allowing the alarm to be hushed. Acoustic presence can be established through emission and monitoring of ultrasonic acoustic signals. The ultrasonic acoustic signals may be transmitted at a frequency that exceeds human hearing such as, for example, between 18 KHz and 22 kHz. Such ultrasonic signals have a relatively short range and are unable to penetrate walls and floors, thus providing an effective tool for ensuring that the device attempting to remotely hush an alarming device is within a line-of-sight of the alarming device.
