  • Patent number: 11836653
    Abstract: Aggregation of content based on user-generated topics is provided. Users may associate one or more topics with content items stored across various workloads and repositories. A topic may be a word or phrase of the user's choice, and may be utilized for discoverability of information and aggregation of content items. Topics and content items associated with topics may be acted on (e.g., a user may add or delete topics to associate with a content item, associate or disassociate content items with a topic, embed a set of content items or a stream of content items associated with a topic into other experiences, follow topics, etc.). Content items identified as related to a specific topic may be automatically suggested as possible content items of interest to the user. Additionally, when a user follows a topic, the user may be notified of any changes that occur to the topic.

  • Patent number: 11431824
    Abstract: A system configured to receive input declaring structure and operation of a web application, including declarations of components of the web application and a declaration of a navigation-mode setting of the web application, and to generate and store, in interrelated tables of a database, a representation of the web application, including references to underlying scripts interpretable to define structure and operation of the components, and including a property record defining the navigation-mode setting. Further, the computing system is configured to receive, from a client device, a request for the web application and to responsively generate based on the stored representation, and output, a data representation defining the structure and operation of the web application, including the navigation-mode setting, for use by the web browser to render the web application including applying the indicated navigation mode.

  • Patent number: 10210260
    Abstract: A client device presents a resource to a user. In order to present the resource, the client device generates and renders one or more presentation strings. The client device generates a presentation string by identifying a template module that corresponds to an content resource object in a dataset downloaded by the client device. The client device then performs a template execution operation on the content resource object. The template module corresponding to the content resource object specifies the template execution operation.

  • Patent number: 9894986
    Abstract: Toothbrush assemblies have a structural component and a cushioning component disposed about a portion of the structural component. The structural component has a distal head element, an elongated spacing element extending from the head element, and a body portion connected to the spacing element opposite the head element. The cushioning component causes the structural component to resist movement in the posterior direction to a larger degree than the structural component resists movement in the anterior direction. Accordingly, an axial force applied to the head element in the direction of the spacing element causes the spacing element to move in the anterior direction. Thus, the toothbrush assembly can be safe for toddlers to use as they can be less likely to impale the toddler's throat tissue and/or puncture a vital artery.
