  • Patent number: 11210118
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for introducing a user to functions of various applications through interactions with an assistant agent. The assistant agent can correspond to an assistant application that can provide a user interface with multiple selectable elements, each of which can correspond to a separate application. When a user selects one of the selectable elements, a function of an application can be demonstrated to the user, in order that the user might become more familiar with functions of the application. In some implementations, a portion of the selectable element can be selected to cause information about the application to be presented to the user. This allows the user to have the option to try out or learn about an application before investing computational resources through downloading and installing the entire application.

  • Patent number: 11061871
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a method for data placement in a distributed database includes obtaining access pattern information relating to end clients that requested access to data stored in a first regional quorum of replicas located within a first region, where the first regional quorum includes a first lead replica. The method includes identifying a placement algorithm from a configuration file associated with the distributed database, and executing the placement algorithm to generate a suggested placement for the data based on the obtained access pattern information, where the suggested placement includes a second regional quorum of replicas located in a second region different than the first region, and the second regional quorum includes a second lead replica. The method includes transmitting a migration request to the distributed database to transfer the data from the first regional quorum to the second regional quorum.

  • Patent number: 11034651
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light colored modified isocyanate mixture and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: a) reacting isocyanate groups of a raw material isocyanate under the action of a phospholenecatalyst, and finally obtaining a modified isocyanate reaction solution containing carbodiimide and/or uretonimine derivatives; and b) adding a compounded terminator of a halosilane organic and a sulfonic anhydride to the reaction solution obtained in step a so as to terminate the reaction of carbodiimidization. The modified isocyanate prepared by the method has the characteristics of a liquid state at room temperature, being stable in storage at room temperature and high temperature, and low color number.

  • Publication number: 20210144594
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present application are a handover method and apparatus, relating to the field of communications, and being used for reducing the interruption time of data transmission in a distributed unit DU handover process when the central unit control plane/central unit user plane CU-CP/CU-UP in a base station are separated, enhancing the user experience. In the handover method provided in the embodiments of the present application, a notification sent by the CU-CP to the CU-UP not only carries tunnel switching instruction information, but also comprises maintenance instruction information, the maintenance instruction information instructing the CU-UP to continue sending downlink data by means of the original downlink tunnel, such that downlink data can still be received when the user device is not yet connected to a target DU, thereby reducing the interruption time of data transmission during the DU handover process, and enhancing the user experience.

  • Patent number: 10733549
    Abstract: Techniques for managing a user's tasks based on the user's focus level. High focus time slots are identified during which the user has a high level of focus, as well as low focus time slots during which the user has a low level of focus. Tasks for completion by the user are scheduled such that the high focus time slots are allocated to tasks that require a high level of user focus, and the low focus time slots are allocated to tasks that require a low level of user focus. High focus times may be identified based on user indications and/or on biometric data describing the user's physical state. Interruption requests may also be managed based on the user's focus level. Necessary resources may be pre-loaded prior to the high focus time periods, and breaks may be automatically scheduled to maintain the user's high level of focus.

  • Patent number: 10664407
    Abstract: A set of data entries is transferred via a memory mapped interface from an external peripheral device to a processor device and is stored in a shared memory region. Based on a first pointer to the shared memory region, a first process executed by the processor device processes a first group of the data entries. Based on a second pointer to the shared memory region, a second process executed by the processor device processes a second group of the data entries. The second process indicates the second pointer to the first process. The first process indicates a lower one of the first pointer and the second pointer to the peripheral device.
