  • Patent number: 10570485
    Abstract: New 2xxx aluminum alloys containing vanadium are disclosed. In one embodiment, the aluminum alloy includes 3.3-4.1 wt. % Cu, 0.7-1.3 wt. % Mg, 0.01-0.16 wt. % V, 0.05-0.6 wt. % Mn, 0.01 to 0.4 wt. % of at least one grain structure control element, the balance being aluminum, incidental elements and impurities. The new alloys may realize an improved combination of properties, such as in the T39 or T89 tempers.

  • Patent number: 10171472
    Abstract: In many computing scenarios, an individual may choose to interact with a service in a variety of roles, and may therefore create a set of accounts respectively representing the service. However, the use of multiple accounts by the same individual may introduce considerable administrative complications (e.g., failing to update all accounts with new information results in stale and/or conflicting account information), and may reduce the efficiency and/or scalability of the service. Presented herein are techniques for enabling individuals to interact with services through various roles. Such techniques involve evaluating the individual's role determinants to identify and automatically select the individual's current role; selecting a current role profile, as a subset of the details of the individual profile that are associated with the current role, and excluding details that are not associated with the current role; and performing the service according to the current role profile of the individual.

  • Publication number: 20170097827
    Abstract: In many computing scenarios, an individual may interact with a device in a variety of roles, such as a student, an intern, and a gamer. While the individual may utilize the device in different ways for each role (e.g., using a particular set of files, applications, websites, and services), the device is not typically informed of the individual's role, and provides generalized device behavior irrespective of the individual's role. Presented herein are techniques for adapting device behavior based on the current role of the individual. Such techniques involve evaluating the individual's role determinants to identify and automatically select the individual's current role; selecting a current role profile, as a subset of the details of the individual profile that are associated with the current role, and excluding details that are not associated with the current role; and adjusting the device behavior according to the current role profile of the individual.

  • Publication number: 20160371276
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing an answer scheme for an information request. For example a requester user may submit an information request seeking an informational answer (e.g., how far is the moon from the Earth; what are fun Cancun activities; is my drawing an accurate octagon; etc.). The information request may be evaluated to identify an information request property (e.g., an interesting property, a factual question property, an opinion property, an expertise level property, etc.). An answerer pool and/or an interaction type may be identified based upon the information request property (e.g., a chat group of scientists, a onetime text message answer from a paid expert, a vacation forum, a screen sharing session, etc.). An answer scheme, comprising the answerer pool and/or the interaction type, may be provided to the requester user for obtaining the informational answer.

  • Publication number: 20140229912
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed for facilitating micro documentation environments. In at least one implementation, a micro documentation environment includes subject entities within a micro blogging environment. At least one subject entity corresponds to at least one software component within a software development environment. The micro documentation environment also includes other entities within the micro blogging environment. At least one other entity follows the one subject entity corresponding to the software component. The micro documentation environment also includes micro posts, at least one of which is generated on behalf of the one subject entity and comprises documentation information related to the one software component.
