  • Patent number: 11960834
    Abstract: An attention application, such as a web browser, includes a pipeline optimized for faster, more secure, and more private, viewing of hypermedia documents using a reader mode. The reader mode is “always on” in the sense that a classifier runs on every web page and every compatible page is rendered in the reader mode and not rendered in full, referred to as the bloat page. Significant time savings are gained by avoiding fetching and rendering the bloat page at all because the bloat page devours network bandwidth and computing resources. Avoiding loading the bloat page also avoids exposing the user to what are often abusive privacy infringements and security vulnerabilities from running executable code in the browser, while providing an uncluttered viewing experience of content that is actually of interest to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230372879
    Abstract: The disclosure provides porous membranes capable of removing very small particulates from a liquid composition. In certain embodiments, the porous membranes comprise poly(tetrafluoroethylene), wherein the membrane is at least partially coated with a polymer prepared from the free radical reaction of ethylenically-unsaturated monomers, wherein the monomers are comprised of monomers having an amide moiety. In particular embodiments, the membranes are capable of removing, by filtration, microbial particles such as bacteria, thus rendering the resulting liquid composition essentially sterile.

  • Publication number: 20220245329
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more data objects in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher with a custom action. The custom action is defined in accordance with custom action instructions provided by a first entity via an application programming interface (API). Such custom action instructions may declaratively or programmatically define the data object, the interaction to be performed with the data object, and other attributes associated with the custom action. A user may request to interact with the data object via selection of the custom action by a second entity. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the data object to update a database system associated with the data object. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update.

  • Patent number: 11106451
    Abstract: The application pertains to the automated deployment of software packages to an enterprise's testing, staging and production environments. It does this by detecting events with respect to the enterprise's code base and, upon detection of a change in a package, identifies the application(s) that include that package. For each such application, a workflow is provided defining a pipeline of environments in which a bundle of packages that make up that application are to be installed for testing, staging or production. A software package in which an event has occurred is installed in those environments on a stepwise basis per that workflow and the application is (re)built there for testing, etc. A status of the bundle of packages that make up an application in each of the respective environments is shown in a graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11029818
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for unifying graphical user interface (GUI) displays across different device types. In an embodiment, a unification system may convert various GUI view appearing on, for example, a desktop device into a GUI view on a mobile device. Both devices may be accessing the same application and/or may use a cloud computing platform to access the application. The unification system may aid in reproducing GUI modifications performed on one user device onto other user devices. In this manner, the unification system may maintain a consistent look-and-feel for a user across different computing device type.

  • Patent number: 10872198
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for rearranging content within resized sub-regions of a web page. First, resizing of a first sub-region of the webpage is detected by a user dragging a slidable border of the sub-region. A span value associated with dimensions of the first resized sub-region is determined and defining minimum dimensions of the first resized sub-region are defined. A subset of the dimensions of the first resized sub-region that fit within the span value is defined based on the minimum dimensions of the resized sub-region. The dimensions of the first resized sub-region include a fixed parameter and a dynamic parameter. The contents of a second sub-region of the webpage are rearranged in response to the resizing of the first resized sub-region and displaying displayed.

  • Patent number: 10684752
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for responding to actionable text patterns in a feed item. In some implementations, a computing device receives textual input for a feed item to be published in an information feed. The computing device identifies in the textual input an actionable text pattern and transmits a portion of the actionable text pattern to a server. The computing device receives, from the server, one or more names of entities. The entities may be object records stored in a database, wherein the names of the entities match the portion of the actionable text pattern transmitted to the server. The computing device receives a selection of a first of the one or more names.

  • Patent number: 10606436
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for composing and batch publishing feed items in a user interface in a feed-based interaction context. In some implementations, a computing device provides a first prompt for display in a first user interface component, which is configured to display unpublished feed items. The computing device receives, at the first prompt, first feed item data for a first feed item. Responsive to a request to compose a second feed item, the computing device displays in the first user interface component a second prompt for second feed item data without publishing the first feed item. The computing device receives, at the second prompt, second feed item data for a second feed item of a first record, the first and second feed items being related to the first record.
