  • Patent number: 11985001
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a system for calculating meeting inclusion metrics including insights and recommendations. Meeting data associated with one or more meetings attended by at least one participant remotely is converted into anonymized meeting data for inclusivity metric analysis. An inclusivity insights manager generates inclusivity metrics associated with inclusive behavior and language occurring during meetings to measure the level of inclusivity. The inclusivity metrics include attendee participation metrics measuring an amount of participation by each meeting attendee, participation in-person versus participation remotely, concurrent speech indicating attendees may be talking over one another or other interruptions occurring during meetings. Inclusivity metric data includes insights and actionable recommendations to improve inclusivity at future meetings provided at an individual level, group level or organizational level.

  • Patent number: 11983167
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, in a first query interface, a query composed by the user by typing commands into a query box of the first query interface and based on the receiving of the query, causing events corresponding to query results of the query to be displayed in the first query interface with fields corresponding to the events. Based on the selection by the user of an option, a second query interface is displayed with a table that includes events that correspond to query results of a loaded query. The table includes columns corresponding to event attributes, rows corresponding to events. Cells are populated with the data items of event attributes, where one of the columns corresponds to a field of the fields displayed in the first query interface. The table also includes interactive regions selectable by the user to add one or more commands to the loaded query.

  • Publication number: 20240154094
    Abstract: A battery electrode composition is provided that comprises composite particles. Each composite particle may comprise, for example, active fluoride material and a nanoporous, electrically-conductive scaffolding matrix within which the active fluoride material is disposed. The active fluoride material is provided to store and release ions during battery operation. The storing and releasing of the ions may cause a substantial change in volume of the active material. The scaffolding matrix structurally supports the active material, electrically interconnects the active material, and accommodates the changes in volume of the active material.

  • Patent number: 11977684
    Abstract: Method for generating haptic and audio feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. In response to determining that the distance is below predetermined threshold, processor causes first user interface and second user interface to generate an initial haptic feedback response and an initial audio feedback response. Other embodiments are described herein.

  • Patent number: 11972425
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for account verification. An example method includes receiving a request for payment transmission from a payment provider device and generating a first verification element for a payment destination device associated with the request for payment transmission. The method further includes transmitting the first verification element to the payment destination device via a first real-time payment message. In an instance in which the computing device receives responsive authorization from the payment destination device, the method includes verifying the payment destination device. In response to verifying the payment destination device, the method includes transmitting a first real-time payment to the payment destination device. In an instance in which the computing device fails to receive responsive authorization from the payment destination device, the method includes transmitting a verification failure notification to the payment provider device.

  • Publication number: 20240127603
    Abstract: Provided are a system and methods for a unified framework and tooling for lane boundary annotation, which include obtaining sensor data along a trajectory corresponding to locations of a base map. Features are extracted from the sensor data. The features are input into a trained neural network that outputs overlapping rich feature maps comprising polylines. The overlapping rich feature maps are aggregated according to an aggregation function to obtain raster image. Vectorization is applied to the raster images to extract roadway geometry represented by globally consistent polylines.

Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface.
