This disclosure describes, in part, an audio/video (A/V) device that includes a first camera for generating first image data and one or more second cameras for both motion detection and generating second image data. For instance, the A/V device may generate and then store the second image data in one or more buffers. The A/V device may then detect an event, such as possible motion of an object. Based on detecting the event, A/V device may cause the one or more second cameras to cease generating the second image data and cause the first camera to begin generating the first image data. The A/V device may then process the second image data and send the processed second image data to a computing system. Next, the A/V device may process the first image data and send the processed first image data to the computing system.

A device that provides temporary bathroom and toilet area illumination is provided. The device is best characterized as a toilet tissue spindle nightlight, containing various electronic subassemblies that operate together as a bathroom night lighting system. The spindle is capable of sensing movement, or vibrations, when a user accesses the roll of toilet tissue being held by the spindle. When movement is detected, the spindle automatically activates an integrated light to provide temporary and effective bathroom area illumination.

Techniques for transcoding a video with frame-synchronous metadata are described. A portion of a digital video transmission is obtained, the portion including a first sequence of video frames, a plurality of metadata values, and a first set of timing data relating the plurality of metadata values to the first sequence of video frames. A rendition of the first sequence of video frames is encoded, the rendition including a second sequence of video frames based on the first sequence of video frames. A plurality of segment files for the rendition is generated, each segment file including a group of frames from the second sequence of video frames and a group of metadata values, each metadata value in the group of metadata values having a correspondence to a frame in the group of frames based on the first set of timing data.

This disclosure describes voice-enabled modular devices that act as functional, voice-controlled endpoints at which users may provide voice commands. The voice-enabled modular devices may include a power unit which may be installed into a wall permanently to serve as a power source, and a front-panel module which detachably couples to the power unit via a hardware interface. The hardware interface may allow the front-panel module and power unit to communicate with each other, and may further allow the power unit to provide power to the front-panel module. The power unit of the voice-enabled modular device described herein may be configured to provide power to multiple front-panel modules having different capabilities, and potentially different power requirements, thereby supporting multiple front-panel modules to increase the functionality of the voice-enabled modular devices.

An assembly of two pillows attached in such a way as to support the back and legs of a mother nursing an infant in a side lying position. The assembly consists of a flat, waterproofed pad attached to a cushioned back supporting pillow connected in turn to a pillow pulled down between the mother's knees. The placement of the second pillow causes tension between the two pillows that helps support the mother's side lying position while nursing.
