This document describes techniques and apparatuses for implementing adaptive low-light view modes. These techniques and apparatuse enable a computing device to capture infrared (IR) imagery at a particular location and retrieve, based on the particular location, previously-captured imagery that corresponds with the IR imagery. The IR imagery and previously-captured imagery can then be combined to provide composite imagery, which is presented to a user. By so doing, the user's view of the particular location can be enhanced, particularly in low-light conditions.

Adaptive low-light view modes

This document describes techniques and apparatuses for implementing adaptive low-light identification. These techniques and apparatuses enable a computing device to capture infrared (IR) imagery of a person and determine, based on previously-captured IR imagery of multiple people, an identity of the person. Visible-light imagery of the identified person can then be retrieved and combined with the IR imagery to provide composite imagery of the person, which is presented to a user. By so doing, the user can more-easily identify the person, particularly in low-light conditions.

Disclosed is a garment () made of a particular type of material, the garment can include a garment appendage () and a sensor () coupled to the garment appendage with the sensor configured to detect activation of the garment appendage. The garment can further include a controller () coupled to the sensor, with the controller configured to control a function of an electronic device based on activation of the garment appendage when sensed by the sensor. Also disclosed is a method of a garment as described above, the method including activating the garment appendage so that the sensor detects the activation, and processing a signal from the sensor by the controller to that the controller controls a function of the electronic device.

Garment for controlling an electronic device

A wireless communication system () uses communications bridging functions to establish redundant communication paths () between redundant radio access network session clients (), a core systemand a base transceiver station (). The system () carries out a handoff or reallocation of call control from one of the radio access network session clients () to another one of the radio access network session clients () based on the integrity of the redundant communication paths ().

High integrity radio access network client reallocation in a wireless communication network

A communication system ( ) having packet and circuit switched networks ( and ) provides connection between at least a first and a second end users by establishing a call connection via a radio access network ( ), establishing a control channel associated the call connection between radio access network ( ) and packet switched network ( ) through a first packet switched connection, selecting one of packet and circuit switched networks ( and ) for establishing a traffic channel associated with the call connection, and routing the traffic channel through said selected network while maintaining the control channel through packet switched network ( ).
