  • Publication number: 20230177274
    Abstract: Systems, methods and products for accessing a set of electronic document templates, identifying instances of common document content such as content items which are semantically similar, and generating component templates containing the common content. Semantically similar content may be identified by analyzing content for factors such as expressed sentiment, included keyphrases, recognizable entities, expressed topics, assigning values to content based on these factors, and determining similarity based on comparisons of the assigned values. Component templates may also be generated based on types of content that include identical text or images, content that has a predefined level of similarity rather than being identical, content that has common rules, scripting logic or variables, metadata, etc. The component templates may be generated automatically, or in response to user instructions.

  • Patent number: 11655072
    Abstract: Plastic grid or framework arrangements are used to support and position of bowls that hold flower arrangements, candles, letters, and other decorative elements. These grids are deployable in water fountains, indoor and outdoor pools, and other small bodies of water during festive occasions or for longer term decorative display. The grid themselves do not float, and are positioned below the surface of the water, and thus are not readily visible. Buoyancy is provided at the hubs that form nodes in the grids. The hubs also support floating bowls containing various decorative elements. The resulting effect is that the various decorative elements appear to be floating on the surface while the sub-surface grid structure maintains their relative positioning, keeping the bowls from clumping together at the edges or in the corners of the pool or fountain.

  • Patent number: 11649817
    Abstract: Changing a cumulative pumping rate of multiple pump units by adjusting individual pumping rates of the pump units, wherein each temporary dip or spike of an individual pumping rate of one of the pump units is automatically offset by a predetermined temporary adjustment of an individual pumping rate of another one or more of the pump units to thereby reduce effects of the temporary dip or spike on the cumulative pumping rate of the pump units.

  • Publication number: 20230135940
    Abstract: Room Types Although creating room types is ideal, it is not a necessary component for operations, as room progress could be determined by defaulting to a few options like randomization or using the order in which members join, etc. With that, Room types should be listed as a dependent claim and not included in the independent. If this is not able to be altered in my U.S. Pat. No. 11,210,057B2, then I will write this patent in order to protect the proper concept of claims. Alternate Layouts Most people will view the room on a personal device. However, certain situations could call for switching to a modified view of the room that does not require all core layout components of a standard view. When Displaying on a Large display in an event situation: Only displaying the song host and media content; Only displaying the song host and media content, room members and media content; Basically, these are views in which a person will use their device as a visible reference for many people to see.

  • Patent number: 11632307
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a managed device on a network. An agent is run on the managed device. During runtime of the agent on the managed device, the agent receives dynamic trap parameter update values from network management station software running on a manager computer. The agent uses the dynamic trap parameter update values to set dynamic trap parameter values including trigger parameter values defining conditions for sending a dynamic trap. After setting the dynamic trap parameter values, the agent monitors the managed device to identify occurrence of an event that satisfies the conditions defined by the trigger parameter values. In response to identifying the occurrence of the event, the agent sends the dynamic trap to the network management station software running on the manager computer.

  • Publication number: 20230102768
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cartridge for a handheld smoking device with angled holes provided therein. The cartridge includes balls that rotate upon inhalation by a user. Orifices are provided in the cartridge that are angled in such a manner to cause air to flow in a particular direction and push the balls against the portion of the cartridge where product is likely to be located. The balls are therefore utilized more efficiently to distribute heat to the product and improve air flow within the handheld smoking device.

  • Patent number: 11610588
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating contextually relevant transcripts of voice recordings based on social networking data. For instance, the disclosed systems receive a voice recording from a user corresponding to a message thread including the user and one or more co-users. The disclosed systems analyze acoustic features of the voice recording to generate transcription-text probabilities. The disclosed systems generate term weights for terms corresponding to objects associated with the user within a social networking system by analyzing user social networking data. Using the contextually aware term weights, the disclosed systems adjust the transcription-text probabilities. Based on the adjusted transcription-text probabilities, the disclosed systems generate a transcript of the voice recording for display within the message thread.
