  • Publication number: 20240119321
    Abstract: A generative interactive video computer-implemented method and system applies trained computer-implemented neural networks to generate a sequence of images, which may comprise a video, and which contains identified objects, and then delivers the sequence of images to a user. The sequence of images may be further generated in accordance with an inference of a preference from user behavioral information. The identified objects may be provided to the system in the form of natural language and/or images. The system then generates and delivers to users natural language-based responses to user requests for information with respect to the identified objects, including attributes that are associated with the identified objects. Users may direct the system to generate video-based virtual environments that include representations of the identified objects.

  • Patent number: 11936608
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing an email inbox of a user and determining a set of emails received since a previous access. For each email in the set, the method includes determining whether the email is sent from a domain identified in a domain database; if not, then the method moves to the next email; if yes, then the method iteratively applies a set of email-subject off-ramp criteria to the email's subject. When an off-ramp criterion is met, then the method moves to the next email; if no email-subject off-ramp criterion is met, then the method iteratively applies a set of email-subject on-ramp criteria to the subject of the email. When any email-subject on-ramp criterion is met, then the method determines an order status of an order associated with the email and updates an order tracking database with an entry identifying the order status.

  • Publication number: 20240076719
    Abstract: A method for determining the presence, absence or amount of two or more target polynucleotides in a sample comprising additional components, the method comprising: (i) contacting the sample with a panel of two or more probes under conditions suitable for hybridisation of the target polynucleotides to the probes, wherein: (a) each probe comprises a non-hybridisation region and a hybridisation region that specifically hybridises to one of the target polynucleotides to form a hybridised probe; and (b) the hybridisation region of a probe of the panel comprises one or more non-natural nucleotides; (ii) contacting the sample prepared in step (i) with a transmembrane pore through which a single stranded polynucleotide but not a double stranded polynucleotide can pass and applying a potential difference to the transmembrane pore such that the hybridised probes in the sample interact with the pore; (iii) measuring current blockades having a duration within a defined window, wherein: (a) the one or more non-natu

  • Patent number: 11919365
    Abstract: A method of operating a vehicle climate system when an ambient temperature is below a threshold temperature is provided. In response to an ambient temperature being less than a threshold temperature, a controller is adapted to operate a blower motor at a voltage that depends on whether the vehicle is in charge sustain mode or charge deplete mode. In response to an ambient temperature being greater than a threshold temperature, the controller is adapted to operate the blower motor at a voltage that does not depend on whether in the charge sustain or charge deplete modes.

  • Patent number: 11880358
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device receives, from a requestor, a query function that queries a dataset and an intended use schema associated with the query function. The device determines, using a policy ruleset, whether the intended use schema falls within an available schema for the dataset. The device executes the query function on the dataset to form a result data, when the intended use schema falls within the available schema for the dataset. The device provides the result data to the requestor.

  • Publication number: 20230081545
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a data sharing platform performs a series of data operations to provide different types of data via different sharing services of the data sharing platform that are derived from data shared by a particular data owner. The data sharing platform generates tag data associated with the particular data owner for one or more of the series of data operations. The data sharing platform determines, based on the tag data, an attribution chain that links the data shared by the particular data owner to the different types of data provided via the different sharing services. The data sharing platform sends an indication of the attribution chain for display.
