Abstract:
An electronic device 410 includes a band 412 configured to be worn on the head of a user. The band has a central portion 430 and first and second temple portions 440 extending therefrom. The central portion is configured to contact a portion of the face of a user, and the temple portions are configured to contact portions of the head of the user near ears thereof. An operational unit 414 having a display 454 is affixed to the first temple portion and includes a housing 452 having an arm 476 defining a longitudinal axis. The housing also includes an elbow 450 portion defining a display end 458 that supports the display element such that it extends along a display axis angled with respect to the longitudinal axis and such that the display element is positionable over an eye of the user. Image generating means are disposed within the housing for generating an image presentable on the display element.

Abstract:
Systems and methods that improve search rankings for a search query by using data associated with queries related to the search query are described. In one aspect, a search query is received, a related query related to the search query is determined, an article (such as a web page) associated with the search query is determined, and a ranking score for the article based at least in part on data associated with the related query is determined. Several algorithms and types of data associated with related queries useful in carrying out such systems and methods are described.
Abstract:
A system (10) and method (60) for providing a user interface (37) with search query broadening is presented. A query (40) defining a search executable on potentially retrievable information (22) is accepted. The query (40) is parsed. A broadened query (40) is provided. At least one of the broadened query (40) and results of a search (52) executed on the broadened query (40) is presented.
Abstract:
A binocular head mounted display includes a frame, right and left displays, an alignment sensor, and a control system. The right and left displays display right and left images to a user and are mounted to the frame. The alignment sensor includes a first laser source mounted proximate to one of the right or left displays and a first photo-detector array mounted opposite the first laser source and proximate to an opposite one of the right or left displays. The first alignment sensor is mounted to measure misalignment between the right and left displays due to deformation of the frame about one or more rotational axes and to generate a signal that is indicative of the misalignment. The control system is coupled to the alignment sensor to receive the signal and to calculate the misalignment based at least in part upon the signal.
