  • Patent number: 11968185
    Abstract: Technologies for on-device experimentation include embodiments that receive a request to provide digital content for display in a slot of a user interface display screen of a first device. By a secure execution environment, an identifier received with the request is anonymized. The request is determined to be associated with a content distribution test. The anonymized identifier is assigned to a test group associated with the content distribution test. The secure execution environment receives user interface event data generated by the first device in response to the content distribution test. The received user interface event data is attributed to the test group. An association of the user interface event data with the test group and the content distribution test is provided by the secure execution environment to a second device different than the first device while the identifier and the anonymized identifier are not provided to the second device.

  • Publication number: 20240112257
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a system for data monitoring. The system may receive data associated with a user. The system may determine a rating corresponding to the user based on the received data. The system may dynamically generate a score by aggregating the rating and a respective second rating of additional user(s). The system may determine whether the score satisfies a first threshold. Responsive to determining the score satisfies the first threshold, the system may cause a user device to display, via a GUI, the score in a first format. Responsive to determining the score does not satisfy the first threshold, the system may determine whether the score satisfies a second threshold. Responsive to determining the score satisfies the second threshold, the system may generate a first modified GUI comprising the score in a second format, and may cause the user device to display the first modified GUI.

  • Publication number: 20240098158
    Abstract: A push notification mechanism at a mobile user device provides for automated limiting of the rate of production of push notification alerts (such as an audible alert or a vibratory alert) and/or push notifications responsive to the occurrence of chat events relevant to a chat application hosted by the user device. Some chat events automatically trigger suppression periods during which push notification alerts are prevented for subsequent chat events that satisfy predefined suppression criteria. Such push notification and/or alert limiting can be performed separately for separate users, chat groups, and/or chat event types.

  • Patent number: 11915912
    Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing peak ion energy with a low angular spread of ions are described. In one of the systems, multiple radio frequency (RF) generators that are coupled to an upper electrode associated with a plasma chamber are operated in two different states, such as two different frequency levels, for pulsing of the RF generators. The pulsing of the RF generators facilitates a transfer of ion energy during one of the states to another one of the states for increasing ion energy during the other state to further increase a rate of processing a substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230201846
    Abstract: An inflatable sprayhead includes a main body made of an elastic material. The main body includes an inflatable portion and an output portion. The inflatable portion and the output portion are coupled. The inflatable portion has a first chamber inside, and the inflatable portion is changeable between an inflated state and an uninflated state by inflating or deflating the first chamber. The output portion has a second chamber and an output surface, which communicates with the second chamber. The main body includes an isolation portion that is located between the inflatable portion and the output portion, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are separated by the isolation portion. Thus, when the main body is in the uninflated state, a volume of the main body could be reduced. Additionally, the main body that is foldable and flexible facilitates storage.
