  • Patent number: 12287827
    Abstract: Implementations relate to identifying actions performed by a user while the user is interacting with multiple applications and providing a routine suggestion to the user based on the identified actions. While a user is interacting with one or more applications, the user actions are determined. The user actions are compared to one or more template routines and a template routine is selected that matches the actions of the user and provided to the user as a suggested routine. The suggested routine can be implemented by an automated assistant to perform the actions of the template by providing a corresponding command.

  • Patent number: 12271742
    Abstract: Implementations relate to determining a rendering type for an application that is executing automatically. Based on user interactions with an application that is associated with specified input from the user while the user is interacting with the application, a confidence metric is generated for each specified input and a rendering type is determined based on the confidence metrics. Subsequently, when the user requests that a sequence of actions be performed, the application will be displayed according to the rendering type.

  • Publication number: 20170238370
    Abstract: A heater cable, which may particularly be a self-regulating heater cable, has a heating element including two bus wires spaced a distance apart by a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material, giving the heating element a major axis and a minor axis. Bending the heater cable transverse to the major axis gives a tighter bend radius than bending the heater cable transverse to the minor axis. To facilitate bending in multiple directions, the heating element is twisted around the longitudinal axis of the heater cable. The twisting may be done uniformly to give the bus wires a helical configuration, which reduces electromagnetic interference and facilitates heater cable diameters as small as 0.25 inches. Additional layers, such as polymer jackets and a braided metal ground plane layer, may be added over the heating element. Each of these layers may be twisted or untwisted in various implementations.

  • Publication number: 20070121860
    Abstract: When a number of users share one telephone number, the present invention indicates who the callee (the person the caller wants to talk to) is, with personalized rings and information shown on a display, so as to allow each user to quickly identify calls directed to him/her. A mobile phone user could inform the callee his/her intent and/or the urgency level of the call by selecting from options provided by the callee reflecting the callee's preferences.
