Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for facilitating the review of messages (e.g., text messages, instant messages, chat messages, and so on) via a keyboard application of a mobile device. The message review system can facilitate a review of a message before it is sent to a recipient (e.g., a recipient of a text message or another user within a chat conversation).

Abstract: A profilometer provides, to a controller, a feedback signal indicative of topography of an exposed surface of an object that is being manufactured by a 3d printer. The profilometer includes an emitter and a camera. The emitter illuminates a region of surface of the object with a pattern having an edge that defines a boundary of an illuminated portion of the surface. The camera receives an image that transitions between a first state in which the edge is visible in the image at a location that is indicative of the surface's depth and a second state in which the edge is not visible at all. From this second state, the controller obtains information representative of a depth of the surface.

Abstract: A coil module is disposed inside an electronic apparatus and receives prescribed power. The coil module includes a loop coil, a plate-like magnetic body that is disposed on the loop coil, and a conductive member that has prescribed conductivity and is disposed parallel with the plate-like magnetic body and on a surface, opposite to a surface on which the loop coil is disposed, of the magnetic body. The conductive member projects outward relative to at least a portion of a circumferential surface of the magnetic body.

Abstract: A shoe and shoe ornamenting device is shown. The shoe is shown in an exemplary embodiment, depicted as a preferred loafer having attachment points for attachment of a shoe ornamenting device thereto. The attachment points preferably comprise a loop of material that serves as a point of connection for the shoe ornamenting device. A replaceable band is secured to a first shackle and a second shackle, the shackles being removably secured, respectively, to loops of material at each bridge end of the shoe, using a fastener, such as a pin, which secures the shackle to a loop.

Abstract: Wireless communications are described. A device may receive a message indicating a request for transmission of packets to a communication device. The device may receive the packets via a first cell group and a second cell group, and the device may transmit the packets to the communication device.

Abstract: Technologies for determining performance gains for content item delivery based on modifications to content item selection parameters are provided. The disclosed techniques include implementing a multi-objective optimization model for content item selection using a value for a parameter. The model generates a first plurality of scores and a first ranking for content items. Subset of content items is selected for delivery based on the first ranking. New values for the parameter are identified and for each new value, the content item selection event is replayed. A second plurality of scores and a second ranking is generated for the content items, where the second ranking is different from the first ranking. A third plurality of scores and a third ranking is generated where the third ranking matches the second ranking. A set of gains is calculated for each new value, where each gain corresponds to a different objective of the model.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds, of the class of amine-bearing heterocycles, which act as positive allosteric modulators and silent allosteric modulators of the mu opioid receptor. These compounds are useful for the treatment of pain, drug addiction, and other CNS derived maladies that are controlled directly or indirectly by activation of the mu opioid receptor. Methods for making and using the allosteric modulators disclosed herein are also provided.

Abstract: In a computer program, sublanguage code snippets implement regular expressions, pattern matching, print formatting, component selection, and other operations, using sublanguage syntax and semantics different from the source code in which snippets are embedded. Writing snippets that give desired execution results has been difficult and interfered with software development workflow. But sublanguage snippet presentation functionality in an enhanced development tool automatically detects source code locations suitable for snippets, receives snippet execution result examples from a developer, submits the examples to synthesis-by-example technology, gets autosynthesized snippets that give those results, and displays snippet insertion candidates with guidance. A snippet selected by the developer replaces the example(s) in the source code, improving developer productivity and program execution accuracy with respect to documented test cases.

Abstract: Systems and methods detect a multicomponent brain-based bio-signal in non-brain internal body tissues and cavities of a patient, such as the mouth. Sub-component signals are filtered from the multi-component signal to isolate frequency brave wave bands.

Abstract: A system for ordered food preferences accompanying symptomatic inputs, the system including a computing device configured to receive a symptomatic input relating to a user wherein the symptomatic input includes a description of a symptomatic complaint; generate a machine-learning process, wherein the machine-learning process is trained using a first training set relating symptomatic inputs to symptomatic neutralizers; identify a symptomatic neutralizer based on the symptomatic input using the machine-learning process; generate an ordered food element list wherein the ordered food element list ranks food elements as a function of the symptomatic neutralizer; and create a food preference menu for the user wherein creating the food preference menu further comprising grouping the ordered food elements.

Abstract: A constant velocity joint includes a shaft and an inner race coupled to the shaft. The inner race has a shaft groove formed thereon. A boot assembly engages the shaft and covers the inner race. A pair of grooves is axially formed in the boot assembly. The shaft groove provides communication between the pair of grooves.

Abstract: An arrangement for making a field repair on a multi-part pole having upper and lower walls joined together by a flanged connection, wherein the welds on the flanged connection are beginning to show signs of failure. The arrangement includes a bracket having a substantially “U”-shaped central portion which spans the flanged connection, and upper and lower elongated portions extending from the central portion, lying flush against and secured to the upper and lower walls of the pole, respectively.

Abstract: A method for simulating a hierarchical circuit includes a bottom-up process and a top-down process in each of a series of iteration rounds. The bottom-up process starts from a bottom level of the hierarchical circuit and obtains submatrices and subvectors for each subcircuit instance (SCI) in the hierarchical circuit. For each SCI, after obtaining first and second submatrices and first and second subvectors of the each SCI, the second submatrix and the second subvector are passed up to the next level in the hierarchy and used to calculate the circuit equation for a parent SCI in the next level. In the top-down process, starting at a top circuit, signal values in each level of the hierarchical circuit are determined. Certain signal values of a parent SCI are passed down to each child SCI, and are used to determine the internal signal values of the child SCI together with the first submatrix and the first subvector of the child SCI.

Abstract: Stereoscopic display technologies are provided. A computing device generates a stereoscopic display of an object by coordinating a first image and a second image. To reduce discomfort or to reduce diplopic content, the computing device may adjust at least one display property of the first image and/or the second image depending on one or more factors. The factors may include a time period associated with the display of the object, the vergence distance to the object, the distance to the focal plane of the display, contextual data interpreted from the images and/or any combination of these and other factors. Adjustments to the display properties can include a modification of one or more contrast properties and/or other modifications to the images. The adjustment to the display properties may be applied with varying levels of intensity and/or be applied at different times depending on one or more factors and/or contextual information.
