  • Patent number: 11833998
    Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to input a signal received from a portable device to a machine learning program trained to output a location of the portable device relative to a vehicle, collect operating data of one or more vehicle components, predict an action of a vehicle user based on the predicted location, and, based on the predicted action of the vehicle user, actuate one or more vehicle components. The machine learning program is trained with a training dataset that is updatable to include the signal, the output predicted location, the collected operating data, the predicted action, and an identified action performed by the vehicle user.

  • Patent number: 11838334
    Abstract: Updating user-specific instances of a second application for individual users of a group based on a data file for the second application being shared via a collaboration object that corresponds to the group within a first application. The instances of the second application present each individual user with their own custom user experience that is configured to provide access to specific content based on object permissions data. An application extension is executable, by the first application, to extend content editing functionalities of the second application into the collaboration object. Responsive to specific content being associated with the collaboration object via the application extension, each of the instances of the second application may be automatically updated to provide direct access to the specific content. Thus, each user within the group defined for collaboration object can access the data file via the collaboration object and their own instance of the second application.

  • Patent number: 11836209
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for validating interactions with false rendered elements. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a rendering notification and a declaration of a rendered element defined in an active window on a client device, detecting interaction with the rendered element at the client device, determining whether the interaction occurred at a declared location of the rendered element within the active window, and processing the interaction including: in response to determining that the interaction occurred: capturing a screenshot of the active window on the client device; verifying a visual appearance of the rendered element in the screenshot with a declared appearance of the rendered element, and generating an interaction attestation, thereby validating the interaction. In response to determining that the interaction did not occur, refraining from generating the interaction attestation.

  • Patent number: 11835994
    Abstract: A method for generating an executable application to transform and load data into a structured dataset includes receiving a metadata file that specifies values for parameters for structuring data feeds, received from a networked data source, into a structured database. The metadata file specifies logical rules for transforming the data feeds. The values of the parameters and the logical rules for transforming the plurality of the data feeds are validated to ensure logical consistency for each data feed. Data rules are generated that specify standards for transforming each data feed in accordance with the validated values of the parameters and logical rules. The executable application is generated that is configured to receive source data comprising a data feed from one or more data sources and transform the source data into structured data that satisfies the one or more standards for the structured data record in compliance with the data rules.

  • Patent number: 11838974
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling dual-connectivity service in a system where a first access node provides service on a first air interface and a second access node provides service on a second air interface, and where (i) in a single-connection-uplink mode for the dual-connectivity service, uplink user-plane communication is carried on just the second air interface and (ii) in a split-uplink mode for the dual-connectivity service, uplink user-plane communication is split between the first air interface and the second air interface. An example method includes determining an uplink Multi-User Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) grouping efficiency of the second air interface and, based on the determined uplink MU-MIMO grouping efficiency of the second air interface, controlling whether to provide the dual-connectivity service in the single-connection-uplink mode or rather in the split-uplink mode.

  • Patent number: 11837766
    Abstract: A system and method of continuous fabrication of multi-material graded structures using additive manufacturing is disclosed. Using multi-material feedstocks and optimized processing parameters, the gradient on composition and structure are controlled to achieve smooth transition from one functional component to another functional component. A multi-material graded structure is produced as the feedstocks are transported from the feedstock reservoir system comprised of many different materials. Interface transition from one functional layer to the next is gradient, controlled by feedstock mixture ratios based on the flow rate control for the feedstock system. Composition includes chemical composition, physical composition, and porosity. Continuous automatic additive manufacturing method makes the fabrication more efficient and avoids joining problems.
