Surface aware lens
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a method for rendering three-dimensional virtual objects within real world environments. Virtual rendering of a three-dimensional virtual object can be altered appropriately as a user moves around the object in the real world, and the three-dimensional virtual object can exist similarly for multiple users. Virtual object rendering can be with respect to a reference surface in a real world environment, which reference surface can be selected by a user as part of the virtual object rendering process.

Reactor system and method to reduce residue buildup during a film deposition process
A system and method for depositing a film within a reaction chamber are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a temperature measurement device, such as a pyrometer, to measure an exterior wall surface of the reaction chamber. A temperature of the exterior wall surface can be controlled to mitigate cleaning or etching of an interior wall surface of the reaction chamber.

Method for mapping at least two authentication devices to a user account using an authentication server
The invention provides a method for mapping at least two authentication devices to a user account using an authentication server, where each authentication device connects to the authentication server using a secured communication channel; their mapping to the user account is recorded on the authentication server, and, when a transfer of data between the authentication devices mapped to the user account occurs, the data is passed over from the first authentication device to the authentication server using a secured communication channel and from the authentication server to another authentication device mapped to the account of said user using a secured communication channel, where the aforesaid secured communication channel is created by the second authentication device. This procedure allows the use of a single personal local authentication factor for multiple authentication devices and increases the security of authentication of devices with authentication servers.

Nose sensor
A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor configured to be secured to a nose of the patient. The nose sensor can include an emitter and a detector. The detector is configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the nose tissue of the patient. An output measurement of the physiological parameter can be determined based on the signals generated by the detector. The nose sensor can include a diffuser configured to disseminate light exiting from the emitter into or around a portion of the patient's body. The nose sensor can also include a lens configured to focus light into the detector.

Generating risk profile using data of home monitoring and security system
Methods and systems for premises management are described. An example system may comprise a premises management device and a touchscreen device. The touchscreen device may output a plurality of interfaces that enable control of the premises management device. The example system may comprise a premises management server that receives behavioral data associated with the premises management device and the touchscreen device. The premises management server may generate and output a risk score based on the behavioral data.

Formation of SiOCN thin films
Methods for depositing silicon oxycarbonitride (SiOCN) thin films on a substrate in a reaction space are provided. The methods can include at least one plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) cycle including alternately and sequentially contacting the substrate with a silicon precursor and a second reactant that does not include oxygen. In some embodiments the methods allow for the deposition of SiOCN films having improved acid-based wet etch resistance.

Disposable components for reusable physiological sensor
A sensor cartridge according to embodiments of the disclosure is capable of being used with a non-invasive physiological sensor. Certain embodiments of the sensor cartridge protect the sensor from damage, such as damage due to repeated use, reduce the need for sensor sanitization, or both. Further, embodiments of the sensor cartridge are positionable on the user before insertion in the sensor and allow for improved alignment of the treatment site with the sensor. In addition, the sensor cartridge of certain embodiments of the disclosure can be configured to allow a single sensor to comfortably accommodate treatment sites of various sizes such as for both adult and pediatric applications.

Low power pulse oximeter
A pulse oximeter may reduce power consumption in the absence of overriding conditions. Various sampling mechanisms may be used individually or in combination. Various parameters may be monitored to trigger or override a reduced power consumption state. In this manner, a pulse oximeter can lower power consumption without sacrificing performance during, for example, high noise conditions or oxygen desaturations.

Application integration with a digital assistant
Systems and processes for application integration with a digital assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes receiving an audio input including a natural-language user input and identifying an intent object of a set of intent objects. The intent object may be derived from the natural-language user input. The method further includes identifying a software application associated with the intent object of the set of intent objects, providing the intent object to the software application to cause the software application to perform a task associated with the intent object, receiving a result response indicating whether the task was successfully performed, and providing an output indicating whether the task was performed.
