Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media related to interaction between a user and an automated assistant during a dialog between the user and the automated assistant. Some implementations are directed to adapting a graphical and/or audible presentation of search results provided by the automated assistant for presentation to the user. The adaptation may be in response to attribute(s), of one or more of the search results, referenced in spoken and/or typed textual input provided by the user during the dialog. Some of those implementations may enable a user to provide textual input to navigate the search results within the dialog and within resource and/or interface constraints associated with the dialog. Some of those implementations may additionally and/or alternatively enable adapting, based on textual input provided by a user to the automated assistant, when and/or whether search results having certain attributes are provided to the user by the automated assistant.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving mediated sponsored content networks using a stack trace. One implementation relates to a method running on a sponsored content network and includes receiving a request for a sponsored content item from a user device executing code from a mediation platform. An item is sent to fulfill the request. If the identity of the mediation platform is not known, the sent item includes stack trace implementation code. An identifier is received that is associated with the mediation platform consequent to the user device executing the stack trace implementation code and the identity of the mediation platform is determined using the identifier. A performance metric associated with the determined identity of the mediation platform is identified. The method may further receive a second request for a sponsored content item from the user device and use the performance metric to select the second item.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems to identify analyzing a social network to predict member actions, queries, or ranks within a social networking system. According to various embodiments, the system detects changes within a first data set of a first member. The system identifies an entity associated with the change in the first data set, determines an action probability of the entity in response to the change, and identifies a second data set associated with a second member having at least one common element with the first data set. The system identifies a set of elements in the first data set and an entity data set corresponding to the change and generates a customized user interface screen comprising a representation of the entity and a portion of the set of elements.

Abstract: A beam seating assembly has a frame supporting a seating surface. A beam secures to a first support and extends in a longitudinal direction. A channel is located the beam free of the first support. The frame has a lower portion with a connector that is insertable into the channel transverse to the longitudinal direction and the connector, once inserted into the channel, is retained from removal out of the channel in a direction. The connector is insertable into a first portion of the channel and a second portion of the connector rotatable into a second portion of the channel and then slidable away from the first portion such that the first and second portions of the connector are retained within the channel but are slidable in the longitudinal direction until the connector is fixedly secured to the beam. The frame is made in certain aspects from a flat plate.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for processing hierarchical data structures, for example, XML (extensible markup language) documents. A tree view shows a visual representation of the input schema and the output schema and visual representations of associations between nodes from the input schema and output schema. A grid view shows mapping statements configured to map the input hierarchical data structure conforming to the input schema to an output hierarchical data structure conforming to the output schema. The grid view and the tree view are synchronized such that modifications performed using any one view result in corresponding modifications being presented in the other view. Modifications to mapping statements are validated to determine if path expressions used in the mapping statements are valid in the modified mapping statements.

Abstract: A wireless device receives a first DCI indicating transmission of at least one SRS for an uplink beam management procedure. The at least one SRS is transmitted via at least one first SRS resource. During a time window starting based on the transmitting the at least on SRS, a downlink control channel is monitored for a second DCI indicating one of the at least one SRS. Based on not detecting the second DCI during the time window, a second uplink signal is transmitted via at least one second uplink resource.

The reservoir may include a first fluid port extending through a housing of the reservoir, where the first fluid port may enable fluid communication between the reservoir and an exterior of the reservoir assembly. The reservoir may be coupled to a vaporizer assembly that includes a second fluid port configured to enable fluid communication between the reservoir and vaporizer assembly, or the reservoir may be coupled to a vaporizer connector assembly that includes a second fluid port configured to enable fluid communication between the reservoir and an exterior through the vaporizer connector assembly. The isolation structure may move in relation to the reservoir and the vaporizer connector assembly to a position where it exposes one of the fluid ports and covers the other.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to downlink transmission scheduling for D2D UE based on subframe pattern. In one embodiment, the D2D UE may provide the BS with information on a pattern of the D2D reception subframes that indicates the usage of at least some of the D2D reception subframes. From the pattern, the BS may determine one or more D2D reception subframes in which the UE wants to monitor the D2D reception and/or the cellular reception. Then the BS may avoid scheduling the downlink transmission in the subframes in which the UE monitors the D2D reception. In the other D2D reception subframes, the downlink transmission can be scheduled. In this way, the UE can properly switch between the D2D reception and cellular reception, without any conflicts or downlink resource waste.
