Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating an association between a graphic element and text for a messaging thread and providing an overlay including the graphic element based on providing a message to the messaging thread including the text. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems receive user selection of the text and the graphic element and provide the association between the text and the element to various client devices associated with the messaging thread. Accordingly, the disclosed systems provide instructions for each client device associated with the messaging thread to generate and provide an overlay for the messaging thread.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mixture of an alkyl polyglucoside with a (biological performance improving) adjuvant which is a non-ionic surfactant, the mixture improving the biological performance of an agrochemical. The biological performance effect of the alkyl polyglucoside is poorer than the partner adjuvant but the biological performance effect of the mixture is as good as that delivered by a much larger amount of that better, partner adjuvant alone.

Abstract: Techniques for device configuration of prospective contacts using messaging history information are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component operative to receive a client inbox request for a user account from a client device, the user account for a communication system; and send an ordered prospective contact list to the client device in response to the client inbox request; a prospective contact list component operative to generate a prospective contact list for a user account, wherein generating the prospective contact list for the user account excludes any existing contacts from an existing contact list for the user account; a predicted interest component operative to determine a predicted communication interest for each prospective contact on the prospective contact list; and a contact ranking component operative to determine a ranking weight for each prospective contact on the prospective contact list. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for the atomic switching of user accounts for a messaging client, in order to maintain constant network availability of the messaging client. The messaging client may allow the registering of multiple messaging accounts and switching between them. Switching may include validating a selecting account, logging out the currently-active account if validation is successful, and logging in the selected account. If validation or logging-in fails, the messaging client remains logged-in to, or returns to, the previously-active account. A limited token may be maintained for inactive accounts and may allow for the retrieval of information such as whether inactive accounts have unread messages, and if so how many, without allowing further access. The messaging client may therefore periodically poll the messaging system (or vice versa) and display notifications for inactive accounts, and the inactive accounts may still be listed as available via the messaging system.

Abstract: Web objects, such as media files are sent through an adaptation server which includes a transcoder for adapting forwarded objects according to profiles of the receiving destinations, and a cache memory for caching frequently requested objects, including their adapted versions. The probability of additional requests for the same object before the object expires, is assessed by tracking hits. Only objects having experienced hits in excess of a hit threshold are cached, the hit threshold being adaptively adjusted based on the capacity of the cache, and the space required to store cached media files. Expired objects are collected in a list, and may be periodically ejected from the cache, or when the cache is nearly full.
