Abstract: A machine for dynamic content rendering in a space-constrained online container. The machine accesses a plurality of items of digital content. The machine dynamically renders the plurality of items in a dedicated area of a user interface. The dynamic rendering includes: dynamically determining, for display in the dedicated area, a first item group of one or more items of the plurality of items; causing display of the first item group in the dedicated area; and dynamically determining a second item group of one or more items of the plurality of items. The items included in the second item group are associated with a hidden style based on dynamically determining that the dynamic rendering of the items included in the second item group overflows the dedicated area. The machine dynamically renders a call-to-action button in the dedicated area. The call-to-action button indicates the number of items in the second item group.

Abstract: The design and method of fabrication of a three-dimensional, porous flow structure for use in a high differential pressure electrochemical cell is described. The flow structure is formed by compacting a highly porous metallic substrate and laminating at least one micro-porous material layer onto the compacted substrate. The flow structure provides void volume greater than about 55% and yield strength greater than about 12,000 psi. In one embodiment, the flow structure comprises a porosity gradient towards the electrolyte membrane, which helps in redistributing mechanical load from the electrolyte membrane throughout the structural elements of the open, porous flow structure, while simultaneously maintaining sufficient fluid permeability and electrical conductivity through the flow structure.

Abstract: Automatically determining, with reduced (or no) input from the users of a group, a set of activity instances that the group of users has interest in performing. A representation of the set of activity instances can be rendered for consideration by a group, and the set of activity instances can be determined even when only limited criteria are specified. Optionally, in response to affirmative user interface input(s) directed to a rendered representation of the set of activity instances, one or more of the activity instances of the set can be confirmed through limited input(s) of one or more users of the group. Further, the automatic determination of the set of activity instances is optionally performed using one or more trained machine learning models that are trained to optimize a likelihood that the users of the group will find the set satisfactory.

Abstract: Motion detection computing devices may have difficulty determining precise motions of a user who suffers from unintended movement, such as tremors, associated with a physical or medical condition. Aspects described herein relate to motion compensation for detected motion input, e.g., 3D motion, from such users. As described herein, a system may detect the presence of rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics within captured motion input from a user. The system may determine one or more filters to apply to the captured motion input based on the rhythmic motion, other input characteristics, and/or information in a user profile. The one or more filters may be applied to the captured motion input in order to suppress or minimize the effects of the rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics thereby resulting in an enhanced user experience in an interactive system, such as a 3D, virtual and/or augmented reality environment.
