  • Patent number: 10439918
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for routing messages to one or more of a plurality of user devices associated with a particular user to whom a particular message is to be provided. The message destination user device(s) may be determined by evaluating the user interactions on each of the plurality of user device. The message destination user device(s) may be selected as the user device(s) that are predicted to have a relatively high level of interaction and/or activity with the user to whom the message is to be provided or is in relative proximity of the user to whom the message is to be provided. When the message destination user device(s) are determined, the message may be transmitted to that/those message destination user device(s) for rendering to the user to whom the message is to be provided.

  • Patent number: 10319116
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamic color adjustment of electronic content. In one embodiment, a system may determine a first background color corresponding to a color theme for use in presentation of electronic content, the color theme further specifying a first text color for displaying text. The system may convert the first text color to hue-saturation-value (HSV) color space, and modify a brightness component of the first text color to generate a second text color. The system may determine a first contrast ratio between the second text color and the first background color, and determine that the first contrast ratio satisfies a first threshold contrast ratio. The system may display the electronic content using the first background color, the electronic content including text having the second text color.

  • Patent number: 7181384
    Abstract: A method for performing simulation on a circuit includes simulating registered and concurrent nodes in the circuit. Only concurrent nodes that are associated with a concurrent feedback loop are simulated until outputs of the concurrent nodes that are associated with the concurrent feedback loop reach a steady state.
