Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe low latency pre-web classification of query data. In examples, processing is performed where query data may be analyzed in a low latency manner that includes providing a vertical intent classification and entity identification for query data before a web ranking service processes the query data. Query data may be received. A vertical intent classification index may be searched using the query data. In examples, the vertical intent classification index may comprise a set of files that can be used to determine one or more candidate entity identifiers for the query data. The one or more entity identifiers may be ranked. The query data, a vertical intent classification for the vertical intent classification index and the one or more ranked candidate entity identifiers may be transmitted for processing associated with a web ranking service. Other examples are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of scalably producing microorganisms by propagating them within plant tissues and introducing them into agricultural seeds to improve their shelf-life during long-term storage, to produce substances of interest, and to create libraries of microbes.

Abstract: Embodiments related to dynamically adjusting a user interface based upon depth information are disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method including receiving depth information of a physical space from a depth camera, locating a user within the physical space from the depth information, determining a distance between the user and a display device from the depth information, and adjusting one or more features of a user interface displayed on the display device based on the distance.

Abstract: This application relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a seed or seedling of an agricultural plant (e.g., an agricultural grass plant), or the agricultural plant derived from the seed or seedling. For example, this application provides purified bacterial populations that include novel seed-origin bacterial endophytes, and synthetic combinations of seeds and/or seedlings (e.g., cereal seeds and/or seedlings) with heterologous seed-derived bacterial endophytes.

Abstract: This application relates to methods and materials for providing a benefit to a seed, seedling or plant by producing seeds that are internally colonized with endophytes. Beneficial endophytes with particular characteristics are provided. These may be used in the methods described to provide a benefit to a seed, seedling or plant.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to deferring a message based upon a target situation for message presentation. One example provides a computing device including an output subsystem including one or more output devices, an input subsystem including one or more user input devices, and a logic device. The computing device further includes memory storing instructions executable by the logic device to receive a message from a remote computing system, output a notification of the message via the output subsystem, and receive via the input subsystem a request for a deferral of the message, the request for the deferral including an annotation to be stored for a later presentation with the message.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a cursor and a focus indicator associated with real or virtual objects in a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality environment by a wearable display device are disclosed. The system can determine a spatial relationship between a user-movable cursor and a target object within the environment. The system may render a focus indicator (e.g., a halo, shading, or highlighting) around or adjacent objects that are near the cursor. When the cursor overlaps with a target object, the system can render the object in front of the cursor (or not render the cursor at all), so the object is not occluded by the cursor. The object can be rendered closer to the user than the cursor. A group of virtual objects can be scrolled, and a virtual control panel can be displayed indicating objects that are upcoming in the scroll.

Abstract: There are disclosed methods and apparatuses for providing configuration data 120 to a device 110. The configuration data may be provided to the device 110 by a configuration server 120 that is configured to output configuration data for sending to the device 110, wherein the configuration data comprises preferred communications bearer data indicating at least one preferred communications bearer for a device communications interface.

Abstract: A data retention reliability screen of integrated circuits including ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) arrays. Sampled groups of cells in the FRAM array are tested at various reference voltage levels, after programming to a high polarization capacitance data state and a relaxation time at an elevated temperature. Fail bit counts of the sample groups at the various reference voltage levels are used to derive a test reference voltage, against which all of the FRAM cells in the integrated circuit are then tested after preconditioning (i.e., programming) and another relaxation interval at the elevated temperature, to determine those cells in the integrated circuit that are vulnerable to long-term data retention failure.
