Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for enabling a computing device to securely communicate with a peripheral computing device. According to some embodiments, the method can include the steps of (1) receiving, at a detection sensor of the computing device, a light signal from the peripheral computing device, wherein the light signal is received at a first frequency that is higher than a second frequency capable of being detected by a camera system of the computing device, (2) extracting information from the light signal, and (3) performing an operation using the information.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to cause one or more processors to perform operations processing, in an integrated development environment, a set of program code to identify an assertion within the set of program code; determining compile-time provability of a condition specified by the assertion; and presenting an error condition in response to failing to determine compile-time provability of the condition specified by the assertion, wherein determining compile-time provability of the condition specified by the assertion includes semantically converting the condition specified by the assertion into a Boolean, reducing the Boolean to an intermediate representation, and processing the intermediate representation to detect an expression within the intermediate representation that is non-constant at compile time

Abstract: Techniques to improve the quality of captured images by reducing the effects of undesired objects (e.g., screen glare) are disclosed. The techniques may involve the use of face detection to localize the likely position of screen glare within the captured images (e.g., on a user's eyeglasses), as well as an awareness of the content that is being displayed on a display screen (or other light-projecting element projecting light into the scene) at the moment of capture of the respective image. The techniques may then model the position, size, and/or distortion of the screen contents (or other projected light) reflected by the user's eyeglasses (or other reflective surface in the captured scene environment). Once the appearance of the undesired screen glare has been modeled in the captured image, the techniques may perform an image modification operation to remove or reduce the undesired glare from the originally-acquired image in an efficient manner.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a camera actuator module includes a linear actuator motor for moving a lens assembly, a position sensor coupled to the lens assembly, a mechanical end stop mounted in the path of motion of the lens assembly, and a non-transitory storage medium storing program instructions. In some embodiments, the program instructions are computer-executable to implement exciting, using the linear actuator motor, a mechanical resonance in the camera actuator module calculated to cause the lens assembly to move to an overload displacement by powering the linear actuator of the camera actuator module at a resonant frequency of the camera actuator module, measuring, using the position sensor, a current maximal displacement of the lens assembly during the exciting using a position sensor, and estimating a position of the mechanical end stop using at least the current maximal displacement.
