Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating terms of a search query based on a user's spoken utterances, identifying multiple cross-platform messages based on the generated terms, and to generating, via a presentation device, a single interface that enables the user to interact with identified messages. Based on a spoken utterance, the disclosed embodiments may determine user-specified search terms and/or criteria, and based on the user-specified search terms and/or criteria, may obtain cross-platform message data that corresponds to the search query. The communications device may generate one or more interface elements that describe corresponding ones of the cross-platform messages, which may be presented within a unified graphical user interface or voice-user interface by a communications device.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein illustrate a glove that includes an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The anterior portion is knitted seamlessly with the posterior portion to define a metacarpal region and a plurality of finger regions extending out from the metacarpal region. A first conductive pad is knitted on the anterior portion of the glove. The first conductive pad is knitted on a distal end portion of a first finger region. A second conductive pad knitted on the posterior portion of the glove. Further, the second conductive pad is knitted on a second finger region. An electronic device is removably attached to the posterior portion and is in electrical communication with the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad. The electronic device is triggered in an instance in which the first conductive pad contacts the second conductive pad.

Abstract: A tetracyclic compound as a Cdc7 inhibitor. Specifically disclosed is a compound represented by formula (I), an isomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an indication to apply a dynamic mask to an input video, wherein the dynamic mask comprises a plurality of graphical features according to a plurality of mask effects, and wherein the dynamic mask is applied based on one or more user selections specifying one or more of the mask effects, identifying a first user in an input image, and generating an output video comprising the graphical features rendered using the mask effects.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a first user in an input image, accessing social data of the first user in the input image, where social data comprises information from a social graph of an online social network, selecting, based on social data of the first user in the input image, a mask from a set of masks, where the mask specifies one or more mask effects, and for each of the input images, applying the mask to the input image. The set of masks may comprise masks previously selected by friends of the first user within the online social network. The selected mask may be selected from a lookup table that maps the social data to the selected mask.
