MODULAR TOY SYSTEM WITH ELECTRONIC TOY MODULES
A modular toy system includes several separate electronic toy modules that can work together. Each module has a device that performs a specific function and a control circuit to manage that function. One of the modules has a special sensor system that can detect the position and orientation of another module without needing to touch it. This means the first module can respond and change its actions based on where the second module is located. Overall, the system allows for interactive play by enabling the modules to communicate and react to each other.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL HUMAN HEAD MODEL FROM A SINGLE IMAGE
A method allows the creation of a 3D model of a human face from just one 2D image. First, the image is processed to find key facial points and features. Then, these points are used to estimate various parameters needed for the 3D model, including details about the face, camera, hair, and wrinkles. An initial texture map is created from the image, which is then refined to produce a complete texture map and lighting details. Finally, all this information is combined to generate a realistic 3D face model.

Spatial Light System
A spatial light system can project images onto the walls and surfaces of a room. It consists of multiple projection units that use LED lights, light pipes, and lenses to create the images. These units are connected by flexible strips that supply power and data, allowing them to work together. The design is modular, meaning the projection units can be arranged in different shapes and configurations. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt the system to various spaces and needs.

COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
A device uses processors to turn a first signal into a data packet that shows a specific touch sensitivity level. This data packet is then sent to a network element called the user plane function (UPF). If certain conditions are met involving the first signal and a second signal, the device will encode the second signal into another data packet. This second packet also indicates the same touch sensitivity level and relates to the same touch interaction as the first signal. Finally, this second data packet is sent to the UPF as well.

DISTRIBUTED IDENTITY MANAGEMENT FOR A DECENTRALIZED PLATFORM
An engine helps manage user identities on a decentralized platform. It creates a secure and reusable identity that hides the owner's real identity. This secure identity is linked to a blockchain, which is a type of digital ledger. The engine also controls who can access certain digital information and services based on the owner's approval. Overall, it provides a safe way for users to interact without revealing their personal details.

Augmented Reality System
A light system can project virtual images onto the surfaces of a room. It uses both low-resolution and high-resolution LED projectors to display different types of content. The high-resolution projector shows a clear 2D image that someone wearing a headset or glasses can see, allowing others in the room to view what they are seeing. The low-resolution projectors create simpler images on walls and ceilings. When not showing virtual content, the system can also provide general lighting for the room.

FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE
A foldable display device has different sections that can bend and stay flat. It includes areas that do not fold and areas that can fold, arranged in a specific order. Below the display, there is a support layer designed to help hold everything together. This support layer has special openings that help reduce stress when the device is folded or unfolded. This design helps prevent damage to the device during use.

DISPLAY DEVICE AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
A display device shows images from a virtual world that includes a virtual screen. When it is in the first mode, the device displays content on this virtual screen. If the mode changes to the second mode, part of the area around the virtual screen is shown instead. The content is then displayed in a different section of the actual screen. This allows users to see both the virtual environment and the content separately.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREDICTING COVID 19 CASES AND DEATHS
A machine learning system is designed to predict COVID-19 cases and deaths. It uses various open data sources that provide information about the pandemic in specific areas, like counties or cities. The system analyzes factors such as local case numbers, demographics, and movement patterns from cell phone data. By understanding these elements, it can forecast future cases and deaths more accurately. Additionally, it can suggest what healthcare resources might be necessary based on these predictions.

Just-In-Time Programming Framework with Large Language Models and Flow-Based Programming
A new programming system helps users create programs more easily. It uses a library of function templates that users can choose from and combine. A visual interface shows these functions as blocks that can be dragged and connected together. Users can connect the output of one function to the input of another using this graphical setup. An AI model suggests additional functions based on what the user has already chosen, making the programming process smoother and more intuitive.
