20110197161 | HANDLES INTERACTIONS FOR HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERFACE - A system is disclosed for providing on-screen graphical handles to control interaction between a user and on-screen objects. A handle defines what actions a user may perform on the object, such as for example scrolling through a textual or graphical navigation menu. Affordances are provided to guide the user through the process of interacting with a handle. | 08-11-2011 |
20110279368 | INFERRING USER INTENT TO ENGAGE A MOTION CAPTURE SYSTEM - Techniques are provided for inferring a user's intent to interact with an application run by a motion capture system. Deliberate user gestures to interact with the motion capture system are disambiguated from unrelated user motions within the system's field of view. An algorithm may be used to determine the user's aggregated level of intent to engage the system. Parameters in the algorithm may include posture and motion of the user's body, as well as the state of the system. The system may develop a skeletal model to determine the various parameters. If the system determines that the parameters strongly indicate an intent to engage the system, then the system may react quickly. However, if the parameters only weakly indicate an intent to engage the system, it may take longer for the user to engage the system. | 11-17-2011 |

20110289455 | Gestures And Gesture Recognition For Manipulating A User-Interface - Symbolic gestures and associated recognition technology are provided for controlling a system user-interface, such as that provided by the operating system of a general computing system or multimedia console. The symbolic gesture movements in mid-air are performed by a user with or without the aid of an input device. A capture device is provided to generate depth images for three-dimensional representation of a capture area including a human target. The human target is tracked using skeletal mapping to capture the mid-air motion of the user. The skeletal mapping data is used to identify movements corresponding to pre-defined gestures using gesture filters that set forth parameters for determining when a target's movement indicates a viable gesture. When a gesture is detected, one or more pre-defined user-interface control actions are performed. | 11-24-2011 |
20120157208 | PERSISTENT HANDLES FOR INTERFACE GUIDES - A computing system translates a world space position of a hand of a human target to a screen space position of a user interface and locks the hand to a handle of the user interface if world space parameters of the hand overcome a grab threshold of the handle. When the hand is locked to the handle, the computing system translates a world space position of the hand to a screen space handle position that is constrained along one or more interface guides. The hand is unlocked from the handle at a release position of the handle if world space parameters of the hand overcome a release threshold of the handle. The handle is retained at the release position after the hand is unlocked from the handle. | 06-21-2012 |

When the pair of patches depict such a character, an embodiment of the kit further includes a descriptor of the character that is used to provide a child with a reference point for playing with the patches or the footwear with the attached patches and for playing with other children that have patches for different characters. Another embodiment of the invention comprises marketing a kit with a follow-on kit that has one or more pairs of additional patches that are adapted to engage the footwear. Yet another embodiment of the invention comprises a pair of footwear that are each capable of accommodating two or more patches and there is a correlation between the views of an item or character and the location on the footwear that accommodates the patch. For example, if the patches depict a sports car, the patches that depict a front view of the car are adapted to be placed on the portion of the upper that is above the wearer's toes or metatarsals and the patches that depict side views of the car are adapted to be place on the side portions of the upper. | 08-28-2008 |

More particularly, the absorbent articles include a back waistband and/or a front waistband that encircle a portion of the circumference of the waist opening. The absorbent article includes a front portion attached to a back portion by a pair of stretchable side areas. Each of the side areas are made from at least two panels that are connected together along a vertical attachment area. In accordance with the present disclosure, a waistband is incorporated into the article that extends over the entire front portion or the entire back portion and terminates at opposite ends on opposing side areas. Each end of the waistband, however, terminates prior to the vertical attachment areas leaving a gap in between. The presence of the gap has been found to provide various benefits and advantages including improved stretch properties for donning the article. | 06-18-2009 |
