Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for applying trained machine learning models to determine an item's relevance to a search query. In some examples, a query and data identifying a plurality of items are received. Item attributes for each of the plurality of items are obtained, and features are generated based on the item attributes. Further, a score is generated for each item by applying a trained machine learning model to the corresponding features and the query. Matching attributes are determined for each of the plurality of items based on the corresponding item attributes and the query, and the score of each of the plurality of items is adjusted based on the matching attributes. Further, the ranking data is generated based on the adjusted score of each of the plurality of items. The ranking data may be transmitted to a web server for display of the items.
Abstract: Examples are disclosed relating to providing haptic feedback in a stylus while the stylus crosses a gap between two displays. In one example, a method comprises detecting one or more haptic triggering criteria, and at least on condition of detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria, actuating the haptic feedback component to produce haptic output. Using a width of the gap between the displays, a stylus velocity, and a stylus direction, a crossing time for the stylus tip to cross the gap is calculated. At a first time after actuating the haptic feedback component, the method determines that the stylus tip crosses an inside edge of one of the displays. At least on condition of determining that the tip of the stylus crosses an inside edge of a display, the method continues to actuate the haptic feedback component for the crossing time.

Abstract: This invention provides a means of loading, processing and conditioning raw production gas, production of CGL, storage, transport, and delivery of pipeline quality natural gas or fractionated products to market. The CGL transport vessel utilizes a pipe based containment system to hold more densely packed constituents of natural gas held within a light hydrocarbon solvent than it is possible to attain for natural gas alone under such conditions. The containment system is supported by process systems for loading and transporting the natural gas as a liquid and unloading the CGL from the containment system and then offloading it in the gaseous state. The system can also be utilized for the selective storage and transport of NGLs to provide a total service package for the movement of natural gas and associated gas production. The mode of storage is suited for both marine and land transportation and configured in modular form to suit a particular application and/or scale of operation.
