Abstract: Embodiments described herein leverage web cookies to carry messages across cloud application communications, wherein the messages are between entities that are not part of the cloud application itself. For example, in embodiments, a proxy server is interconnected between a client computer that is executing a front-end component of an application and an application server that is executing a back-end component of the application. The proxy server intercepts a request from the front-end component that is intended for the back-end component and generates a response thereto that includes a command to create a web cookie at the client computer, wherein the web cookie includes data to be utilized by a custom code component of the client computer. The proxy server may further cause the custom code component to be injected into the front-end component of the application for execution by the client computer.

The server may determine whether the user is in an emergency state and output a second notification including information related to the emergency state to the one or more second electronic devices.

Abstract: Adapting an automated assistant based on detecting: movement of a mouth of a user; and/or that a gaze of the user is directed at an assistant device that provides an automated assistant interface (graphical and/or audible) of the automated assistant. The detecting of the mouth movement and/or the directed gaze can be based on processing of vision data from one or more vision components associated with the assistant device, such as a camera incorporated in the assistant device. The mouth movement that is detected can be movement that is indicative of a user (to whom the mouth belongs) speaking.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide project efficiency tracking based on comparing estimated material items and quantities from a design in a computer-aided design (“CAD”) application to the actual purchased material items and quantities. A beacon symbol can be placed on a project drawing and include a progress ring, a materials status, work package number, and a percentage complete. The materials status can illustrate the percentage of budgeted materials that have been delivered. The progress ring can illustrate the job completion percentage. In one example, the progress ring can illustrate the percentage of budgeted labor hours that have been performed.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for beam search pilots for paging channel communications. In some aspects, a user device receives, from a base station of a wireless network, a beam search pilot on a beam. The user device determines that a signal quality of the beam search pilot meets a signal quality threshold. Based on this determination, the user device transmits, to the base station, an indication that the beam search pilot meets the signal quality threshold. The user device then receives a paging channel communication on the beam provided by the base station.

Abstract: Many embodiments can comprise a system. The system can comprise one or more processors and one or more storage devices. The one or more storage devices can be configured to store computing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive a plurality of images of an object, the plurality of images comprising different views of the object from around the object; iteratively align one or more images within one or more subsets of the plurality of images until the object is aligned from image to image within the one or more subsets of the plurality of images; and selectively align respective images of the one or more subsets to each other to produce a surround image. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

Abstract: For the shipping industry, these fuels provide solutions to long outstanding technical problems that heretofore hindered supply of low sulfur marine fuels in quantities needed to meet worldwide sulfur reduction goals. When ships on the open seas burn cheap low grade heavy bunker oils high in sulfur, nitrogen and metals, the SOx, NOx, and metal oxides go to the environment. This invention converts essentially all of each barrel of crude feed to a single ultraclean fuel versus conventional refining where crude feed is cut into many pieces, and each piece is sent down a separate market path meeting various different product specifications. When in port, ships can generate and sell electricity to land based electrical grids to offset fuel cost in an environment-friendly manner.

Abstract: System, including apparatus and methods, for ankle fusion using a device for separating a first bone and a second bone of an ankle region. In some embodiments, the device may comprise an expandable spacer including first and second bone-contacting surface regions facing away from one another and configured to be abutted with the first and second bones, respectively. A distance between the first and second bone-contacting surface regions may be adjustable to change the separation of the first and second bones. The first bone-contacting surface region may correspond to a portion of a sphere and may be configured to be disposed at least partially in a concavity formed surgically in the first bone. The expandable spacer offers improved control over the length of the lower limb and the orientation of the foot during ankle fusion surgery.

Abstract: A webcam account security system that allows a user to require activation of a webcam when accessing an account. The system may prompt a user attempting to access the account to activate the webcam and may deny access to the account or require additional security procedures when access to the webcam is not granted. Additionally, the system may store any images or footage captured by the webcam for analysis in the case a fraud notification is received. The system may further deny access to the account when the webcam is unable to detect the face or an identifying characteristic of the person attempting to access the account.

Abstract: An oral adhering lozenge is provided which delivers to the mouth a component with an undesirable flavor and a component for delivering a masking flavor. The oral adhering lozenge comprises a first, adherent layer and a second layer. The first, adherent layer includes a flavor-masking component, and the second layer includes both an active component and a flavor-masking component. In another configuration, the first, adherent layer includes both an active component and a flavor-masking component. In use, the second layer of the lozenge generally finishes dissolving and/or eroding in the mouth before the first layer finishes dissolving and/or eroding. The later eroding adherent layer will continue to release the flavor-masking component after all of the active component has been released into the mouth, thereby providing increased masking of any bitter aftertaste of the active.

Abstract: Compositions are disclosed which include between about 0.05 to about 5 or less wt. % of at least one acrylate monomer based on the total weight of the composition. The acrylate monomer reduces the peak cure temperature, thereby accelerating the rate of cure, without sacrificing completeness of the cure or the release performance of the cured product. The addition of the acrylate monomer also enables a reduction in the amount of costly platinum catalyst required to effectively cure a composition. In addition to the acrylate monomer, the compositions also include a silicone base polymer, a crosslinking agent, and platinum catalyst. The cured compositions exhibit properties useful for incorporation into release liners, adhesive articles, medical products and gaskets.
