Abstract: In a spatial modulation multiple-input-multiple-output (SM-MIMO) wireless communication system, multiple transmitting antennae and multiple receiving antennae may be utilized to respectively transmit and receive wireless signals for the communication. A selection of a combination of the multiple transmitting antennae may be configured to represent one or more binary digits in a signal sequence. The signal sequence may be produced at the receiving end without the knowledge of the selection of the combination of the multiple transmitting antennae.

Abstract: In an example biometric authentication system, a light beam generator may be configured to generate a light beam. The light beam may be projected to a retina of a user's eye and reflected from the retina. The reflected light beam may be directed, by an optical system, on to a holographic medium to form an input image. An image sensor may be configured to detect or sense the input image and further transmit the input image to an authenticator. The authenticator may be configured to compare the input image with a reference image and grant authentication for the user when the input image is determined to substantially match the reference image.

Abstract: Technologies related to intermediary graphics rendition are generally described. In some examples, one or more devices in a local network may be equipped to serve as real-time graphics rendering intermediary computing devices for clients in the local network. A graphics rendering manager for the local network may collect graphics processing capability information of the devices in a local network, and may select computing device(s) in the local network to serve as intermediary computing device(s). The graphics rendering manager may interact with a system controller at a server or datacenter to direct compositing flow(s) to the selected computing device(s), responsive to system controller requests to initiate intermediary graphics rendering for clients in the local network.

Abstract: Techniques and technologies are generally described herein for providing shape memory polymer packaging for meat products from sheets or films of shape memory polymer material. Shape memory polymers are a class of smart materials which have the ability to return to their original or trained state from a deformed or temporary state when a stimulus is provided. The stimulus is typically a temperature change. The stimulus may also be exposure to an electric or magnetic field, exposure to light, or even exposure to a particular atmosphere, e.g., water. Shape memory polymers now include many materials, including both thermoplastic materials and thermoset materials (covalently cross-linked). The memory effect of the shape memory polymer is used to shape a meat product and to make the meat product more attractive to a consumer.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described to display of an Augmented Reality (AR) image using a micromirror on an eyeglass. In some examples, AR data may be received at a controller coupled to a laser transmitter positioned on a surface of a frame of the eyeglass. The laser transmitter may transmit a laser signal modulated by the received AR data onto the micromirror positioned on, preferably, a proximal surface of a lens of the eyeglass. Concurrently, an electrical signal may be transmitted to a base of the micromirror causing the micromirror to oscillate in correlation with an intensity of the laser signal such that the AR image is created on a retina. In another embodiment, the laser signal modulated by the received AR data may be reflected from a plane mirror positioned on the proximal surface of the frame, forward to the laser transmitter, to transmit the laser signal onto the micromirror.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for gas filtration and detection devices. Example devices may include a graphene membrane and a sensing device. The graphene membrane may be perforated with a plurality of discrete pores having a size-selective to enable one or more molecules to pass through the pores. A sensing device may be attached to a supporting permeable substrate and coupled with the graphene membrane. A fluid mixture including two or more molecules may be exposed to the graphene membrane. Molecules having a smaller diameter than the discrete pores may be directed through the graphene pores, and may be detected by the sensing device. Molecules having a larger size than the discrete pores may be prevented from crossing the graphene membrane. The sensing device may be configured to identify a presence of a selected molecule within the mixture without interference from contaminating factors.

Abstract: In some examples, in a supply-and-demand system, e.g., a cloud computing environment or an electrical grid, a coordinator may collect resource consumption data from one or more consuming entities. Based on the collected resource consumption data, the coordinator may be configured to predict resource consumption requirement of each consuming entity in a subsequent time period. Further, in accordance with the prediction, the coordinator may allocate the resources to the consuming entities or recycle the resources currently consumed by the consuming entities.
