Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product support automatically selecting cross-view screen sharing for a secure peer-to-peer application during a communication session. A processor of a first electronic device executes application(s) to present a first user interface at a first display of the first electronic device. The first electronic device establishes a secure peer-to-peer connection for wireless communication, via a communication subsystem, with a second electronic device having a second display. The first electronic device enables a cross-view mode. The electronic device transmits a duplicate copy of the first user interface to the second electronic device for presenting at the second display. The first electronic device receives, from the second electronic device, a duplicate copy of a second user interface being presented at the second display.

Abstract: One or more guest electronic devices establish electronic communication with a host electronic device. The guest electronic devices transmit requests requesting presentation of media content from an application operating locally on each guest electronic device. The host electronic device arranges the requests in a queue. One or more processors of the host electronic device select a principal request from the queue and initiate the application operating locally on a guest electronic device identified by the principal request, thereby causing delivery of the media content from the guest electronic device identified by the principal request to the host electronic device.

Abstract: Techniques for personalized digital content generation are described and are implementable to generate digital content based on content that depicts a scene from one or more locations and content that depicts one or more individuals. The described implementations, for instance, enable generation of a personalized photo album for a user depicting the user at the one or more locations. The described implementations further enable generation of an itinerary including personalized digital content. In an example, an input including a location is received. Environment content is generated that depicts a scene of the location. User content is generated that includes a representation of one or more individuals. Personalized content is then generated by incorporating the representation of the one or more individuals into the scene, and the personalized content is output for display. The personalized content is further usable to generate a personalized itinerary for a user.

Abstract: Techniques for fingerprint encoded gesture initiation of device actions are described and are implementable to perform a variety of functionality based on touch-based gestures that are fingerprint encoded. For instance, a mobile device receives an input including a touch-based gesture. The mobile device generates fingerprint identity information based on the touch-based gesture, such as by a fingerprint sensor area that is operable to detect a pattern of a fingerprint in contact with the fingerprint sensor area. Based on the fingerprint identity information, the mobile device determines that the fingerprint identity information is associated with a user of the mobile device. The mobile device then performs an action that corresponds to the touch-based gesture, e.g., based on a shape of the gesture. In one example, the action includes display of a customized user interface associated with a user profile that corresponds to the touch-based gesture.

Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) can be connected to another electronic device that is typically a computing device (e.g., a mobile device such as a laptop or a non-mobile device such as a desktop computer or workstation), allowing the electronic devices to be used together. This connection can be a wired connection or a wireless connection. The relative location of one of the electronic devices relative to the other of the electronic devices is automatically determined by analyzing changes in the gaze of the user of the electronic devices. An indication of the position of one of the electronic devices relative to the other is then displayed on one of the electronic devices.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product imitate a typewriter. A top horizontal row of a virtual typing sheet is presented on an upper portion of an extendable display. Keystrokes received by a text input device are monitored and corresponding characters are presented across the top horizontal row of virtual typing sheet. In response to a next line transitioning condition (e.g., reaching an end of a current row or detection of a return keystroke received via the text input device), the extendable display is triggered to upwardly extend by an increment corresponding to vertical dimensions of a line spacing and font size of the characters associated with the top horizontal row. Presentation of the virtual typing sheet and the top horizontal row at the corresponding line spacing are upwardly adjusted to insert a new lateral row for presenting keystrokes.

Abstract: Trypsin/trypsin-like proteases have been reported to be facilitating SARS-COV-2 entry into host cells. Spike has protease cleavage sites between the S1 and S2 domains. Cleavage property of proteases can be used to design drug screening assays meant for screening antiviral candidates against spike cleavage. In the claimed invention we have developed a proof-of-concept assay system for screening drugs against proteases which cleave spike between S1 and S2. We designed a fusion substrate protein containing a reporter protein, the protease cleavage site between S1 and S2 and a cellulose binding domain. The substrate protein can be immobilized on cellulose due to the presence of cellulose binding domain (CBD). When proteases cleave the substrate. CBD remains bound to cellulose and the reporter protein is dislodged. The released reporter can be used as read out of protease activity.

Abstract: Multiple designs for a multi-layer circuit may be simulated to determine impedance profiles of each design, allowing a circuit designer to select a design based on the impedance profiles. One feature that can be modified is the structure surrounding the barrels of a differential VIA on layers that are not connected to the differential VIA. Specifically, one antipad can be used that surrounds both barrels or two antipads can be used, with one antipad for each barrel. Additionally, the size of the antipad or antipads can be modified. These modifications affect the impedance of the differential VIA. Additionally, a conductive region may be placed that connects to the VIA barrel even though the circuit on the layer does not connect to the VIA. This unused pad, surrounded by a non-conductive region, also affects the impedance of the differential VIA.

Abstract: An electronic system, a method, and a computer program product generate a video recording or stream with spherical background effects for video generation with automatic gesture-control background positioning for a spatially constrained user. The method includes extracting a foreground image from an image stream of the field of view captured by the image capturing device. The method includes generating a composite image stream of the foreground image superimposed on the spherical background image. The method includes identifying, within the image stream, that the foreground image is in a physically constrained space defined by physical constraint(s) around at least a portion of a background of the foreground image. In response to identifying that the foreground image is in a physically constrained space, the method includes activating a gesture-controlled background repositioning feature of the electronic system to automatically rotate a spherical background image based on receipt of a gesture control input.
