  • Publication number: 20240143024
    Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a display and a biometric sensor. While the device is in a locked state, the method includes displaying a log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a first and second user account. While displaying the log-in user interface, the method includes, receiving biometric information, and in response to receiving the biometric information: when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account and the first user account does not have an active session, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account; and when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account and the second user account does not have an active session on the device, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account.

  • Patent number: 11292745
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for the surface treatment of a polyester fiber, a modified polyester fiber obtained therefrom, and an engineered cementitious composite containing such modified polyester fibers. The method comprises subjecting the polyester fiber to an alkali hydrolysis to obtain hydrolyzed polyester fiber; applying a solution containing an acid cross-linker and a polyvinyl alcohol to the hydrolyzed polyester fiber, then curing to form a coating having a thickness of sub-micron or micron scale on the polyester fiber, thereby obtaining the modified polyester fiber.
