  • Patent number: 11977594
    Abstract: Described herein are, among other things, techniques, devices, and systems for generating one or more trained machine-learning models. Also described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for applying a consumption history of a particular user to the trained model(s) to generate score data indicating a correlation between each content-item title and the consumption history. The techniques then determine a ranked list of content items having a highest correlation to the consumption history, which may be used to retrieve videos associated with the most-correlated content items for generating a compilation video composed of these retrieved videos.

  • Publication number: 20240132402
    Abstract: Described are cementitious reagent materials produced from globally abundant inorganic feedstocks. Also described are methods for the manufacture of such cementitious reagent materials and forming the reagent materials as microspheroidal glassy particles. Also described are apparatuses, systems and methods for the thermochemical production of glassy cementitious reagents with spheroidal morphology. The apparatuses, systems and methods make use of an in-flight melting/quenching technology such that solid particles are flown in suspension, melted in suspension, and then quenched in suspension. The cementitious reagents can be used in concrete to substantially reduce the CO2 emission associated with cement production.

  • Publication number: 20240071558
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for page-based soft post package repair are disclosed. Based on data stored in a storage element, an address may be decoded to a prime row, a row-based redundant row, or a page-based redundant row. A match logic circuit may determine whether the address corresponds to a defective prime row and generate a match signal. A decoder can select a redundant row to be accessed instead of a prime row in response to the match signal indicating that the address data corresponding to the address to be accessed matches defective address data stored in a volatile memory. A page-based redundant row allows for page-by-page substitution for defective memory, allowing functional portions of memory to continue to be used.

  • Publication number: 20230391390
    Abstract: Physical shopping carts can have product detection systems and associate physical shopping carts with mobile computing devices (e.g., smartphones, tablet computing devices, smart watches, wearable computing devices). For example, physical shopping carts can be equipped with one or more product detection systems (e.g., scanners, sensors, cameras) that can electronically tally products that are placed in physical shopping carts. Mobile computing devices can be associated with and mounted on the physical shopping carts to provide a variety of enhanced shopping cart features not possible with conventional physical shopping carts, such as electronically tracking the contents of a shopping cart, checking-out from the mobile computing device (instead of at conventional check-out areas, such as point of sale terminals), and others.
