Abstract: Automated message tagging in a chat forward task facilitation communication system is described. One implementation involves receiving a set of messages between a member and a representative as the set of messages are being exchanged, processing the set of messages to identify one or more task flags associated with the set of messages, where the one or more task flags correspond to a set of tasks performable by the representative on behalf of the member, and tracking a chat flow within a chat interface, wherein the set of messages are exchanged within the chat interface. The chat flow is processed using a tagging algorithm to automatically assign at least one of the one or more task flags to messages of the set of messages, and message history is generated including the set of messages and corresponding task flag assignments with associated tasks of the set of tasks.

Abstract: Features described herein generally relate to providing spatiotemporal guidance within a 360-degree video. Particularly, while a 360-degree video is being displayed to a user, a current location of the view of the user within the 360-degree video is determined. Additionally, regions of interest may be identified within the 360-degree video, along with their location and a time in which the regions of interest are active within the 360-degree video. A visual guide is then overlaid onto the 360-degree video that indicates a current location of the view of the user, as well as locations of one or more regions of interest, as well as the time during which each region of interest is active (able to be viewed) within the 360-degree video. By viewing the visual guide, the user may be able to anticipate a location and timing of regions of interest within the 360-degree video and adjust their gaze to the correct location at the correct time to view such regions of interest.

Abstract: A conductive terminal assembly includes at least three layers of conductive terminals. Each layer of conductive terminals has a terminal body, one or more elastic arms extending from the terminal body, and a contact end at an end of each elastic arm distal from the terminal body in a first direction. The terminal bodies of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are overlapped with each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The contact ends of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are at least partially staggered and arranged in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The contact ends are capable of electrically contacting a mating component.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing defining a slot in which a mating component can be at least partially inserted, a conductive terminal installed in the housing and having a contact end capable of electrically contacting the mating component, and a supporting member elastically supporting the contact end. The supporting member has a cantilever beam and a supporting arm extending from the cantilever beam. The cantilever beam at least partially abuts a first surface of the contact end facing an inner wall of the housing and applies an elastic force to the contact end. The supporting arm is positioned at least partially between the cantilever beam and the inner wall. The supporting arm elastically supports the cantilever beam and the contact end when pressed against the inner wall.

Abstract: A push notification distribution system centralizes the management and delivery of push notifications to applications executing on electronic devices. Registration requests to register applications for push notifications may be aggregated and sent as an aggregated registration request. The delivery priority of push notifications may be managed according to specified preferences. Upon receiving a push notification intended for an electronic device, a delivery priority of the push notification may be changed if an application identifier associated with the push notification is found on a list of application identifiers with designed delivery priorities.

Abstract: A multiview image creation system and method create a multiview image from a single view image. Creating a multiview image includes importing a single view image and assigning the single view image to a first multiview image layer of a composite multiview image. Creating a multiview image further includes replicating the single view image into a plurality of view images of the first multiview image layer, converting a depth setting of the first multiview image layer into a plurality of shift values of corresponding view images based on an ordered number of the view images, and shifting the view images of the first multiview image layer according to the corresponding shift values. The plurality of multiview image layers may be automatically rendered in a predefined sequence as the composite multiview image on a multiview display.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis. A motor-fan assembly is mounted in the housing and arranged to generate an airflow along an airflow path from a dirty air inlet to an air exhaust. A retractable nozzle defines the dirty air inlet and is moveably mounted on the housing. At least a portion of the retractable nozzle is arranged to move between a retracted configuration within the housing and a deployed configuration outside the housing. The portion of the retractable nozzle in the retracted configuration is aligned in a direction along the longitudinal axis and the portion of the retractable nozzle in the deployed configuration is aligned in a direction across the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A coupling system for peripheral devices may include a housing and a shaft assembly. An end of the shaft assembly is threaded and couples to and uncouples from a peripheral device by relative rotational movement between the peripheral device and the shaft assembly. An inner cavity of the housing and another end of the shaft assembly defines a limited range of rotational motion between first and second rotational positions. Rotating the shaft assembly to the first rotational position allows for the peripheral device to be rotated relative to both the shaft assembly and the housing to couple the peripheral device to the housing via the shaft assembly. With the peripheral device coupled to the shaft assembly, relative rotational motion between the peripheral device and the housing is allowed between the first rotational position and the second rotational position without rotating the peripheral device relative to the shaft assembly.
