Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automatic classification of error conditions in automated user interface testing. A server receives an image file corresponding to a current user interface (UI) view of a software application under test. The server analyzes the image file to identify error conditions that exist in the current UI view. The server assigns a classification to the image file according to one or more error types based upon the error conditions identified in the current UI view. The server transmits a notification message to one or more remote computing devices, the notification message comprising the image file and the classification assigned to the image file.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing a screen from a mobile device. For example, a method includes receiving, at a second mobile device, an image of a screen captured from a first mobile device and determining whether to trigger an automated action. The method may also include displaying, responsive to not triggering the automated action, annotation data generated for the image with the image on a display of the second mobile device, the annotation data including at least one visual cue corresponding to content in the image relevant to a user of the second mobile device. The method may further include, responsive to triggering the automated action, determining that a mobile application associated with the image is installed on the second mobile device and replaying user input actions received with the image on the second mobile device starting from a reference screen associated with the mobile application.
Abstract: A method includes obtaining simulated tire data for a simulated tire, simulated vehicle data for a simulated vehicle, and simulated test course data. The simulated tire data includes data to build a basic tire model. The simulated vehicle data includes data to build a basic vehicle model. The simulated test course data includes position-based course data in a horizontal plane and position-based course data in a vertical direction. The method further includes generating a tire load history from the basic tire model, the basic vehicle model, and the simulated test course data.
Abstract: An air filter unit for an air intake of an air handling or HVAC system includes a grate configured to support a plurality of spaced apart filters at a top side thereof, whereby air is drawn through the grate and then sequentially through the filters into the air intake. The air filter unit may include a filter indicator which provides a visual indication of the air filters, such as based upon the pressure differential on either side of the air filters.
Abstract: A process for combusting coke from catalyst in partial burn mode is disclosed. The regenerator comprises two chambers. The bulk of the combustion is performed in a first chamber. Disengagement of the catalyst from gas is conducted in the second chamber. Heated gas with a low fraction of oxygen fluidizes catalyst in the second chamber.
Abstract: As described herein, various nodes in a 3GPP network, including a user equipment (UE), can be used to insert metadata in uplink traffic so that the network and/or an (S)Gi-LAN can make traffic steering decisions based on the metadata. For example, the UE can insert metadata into its uplink traffic so that the services in the (S)Gi-LAN can be better leveraged. In one embodiment, network nodes are able to insert metadata that relates directly to the UE and that relates to the operating conditions of the network nodes that the UE is using to send uplink data, so that the services in the (S)Gi-LAN can be better leveraged.

Abstract: Techniques for automatically generating targeting templates are provided. In one technique, multiple sets of targeting criteria provided by different content providers are identified. Based on the multiple sets of targeting criteria, multiple clusters of sets of targeting criteria are created. For each cluster, a targeting template is generated based on a set of targeting criteria that belong to that cluster. In another technique, multiple users are identified and for each user, a set of attribute-value pairs of that user is identified and added to a plurality of attribute-value pairs. Based on the plurality of attribute-value pairs, a targeting template that specifies targeting criteria is generated and presented for selection.

Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) overlay augments traditional menu items with corresponding photos, thereby facilitating a decision-making process of a user ordering from the menu. In addition to providing imagery of the menu items listed, other information may also be supplied, such as ratings, reviews etc. In this regard, users can visualize what to expect before ordering, and can order with a greater degree of confidence that they will enjoy the menu item they select.
Abstract: Pressure sensitive key techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes at least one pressure sensitive key having a flexible contact layer spaced apart from a sensor substrate by a spacer layer, the flexible contact layer configured to flex responsive to pressure to contact the sensor substrate to initiate an input, for a computing device, associated with the pressure sensitive key. At least one of the flexible contact layer or the sensor substrate are configured to at least partially normalize an output resulting from pressure applied at a first location of the flexible contact layer with an output resulting from pressure applied at a second location of the flexible contact layer that has lesser flexibility than the first location.
