  • Patent number: 11640294
    Abstract: Examples of the usage of a command of a command line interface includes the command with a set of parameters and corresponding parameter values. The examples are generated from telemetry data, which does not contain parameter values, and from web-based sources that may contain multiple parameter values. A machine learning model is used to predict the data type of a parameter value when the parameter is used with a particular command. The predicted data type is then used to select an appropriate parameter value for the example from multiple known parameter values or to generate a parameter value when no known parameter value exists.

  • Patent number: 11641362
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein improve existing systems by generating a data object indicative of a defined group of users of a communication session, messages being communicated between the defined group of users, and permissions defined for the defined group of users to access content of the communication session. In response to receiving a selection of a message set including a subset of the messages of the defined group for corresponding with a non-member user who is not a member of the defined group, the system updates the first data object to include the selected message set and subsequent messages exchanged between the non-member user and a subset of the users in the defined group directed to the selected message set, and permissions defined for the additional participant to limit full access to other subsequent messages in the defined group not directed to the selected message set.

  • Patent number: 11641105
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device having insulated gate field effect transistors (IGFETs) having a plurality of horizontally disposed channels that can be vertically aligned above a substrate with each channel being surrounded by a gate structure has been disclosed. The integrated circuit device may include electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit structures. The ESD protection circuit structures may be formed in regions other than the region that the IGFETs are formed as well as in the region that the IGFETs having a plurality of horizontally disposed channels that can be vertically aligned above a substrate with each channel being surrounded by a gate structure are formed. By forming ESD protection circuit structures in regions below the IGFETs, an older process technology may be used and device size may be decreased. Furthermore, planar IGFETs of FinFETs may be formed in other regions to decrease device size and improve costs.

  • Patent number: 11641248
    Abstract: Coherent optical communications technology for recovery of 1D and 2D formatted optical signals. For example, 1D or 2D formatted signals that travel through fiber optic media may be recovered by separating the light into X- and Y-polarization components, rotating one polarization component (e.g., Y-component) into the polarization space of the other component (e.g., Y-component into the X-polarization space), delaying the rotated component enough to avoid destructive interference and combining the delayed component with the undelayed component to form a folded optical signal, which may then be processed as a X-polarized signal.

  • Patent number: 11640017
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are taught that convey information in a mirror to a user. A glass layer has a front side and a back side. The glass layer further includes a first region. The first region has a first optical property. A second region has a second optical property. The first optical property is different than the second optical property. A first boundary exists where the first region meets the second region and the first boundary is shaped to convey information when the second region is illuminated from the back side and the glass layer is viewed from the front side by the user. When the second region is not illuminated from the back side the first region and the second region provide substantially the same reflection when the glass layer is viewed from the front side by the user, and the first boundary does not convey information.
