    Abstract: A display comprises a transparent polymer support, an array of light emitters embedded in the support, and a redistribution layer. Each light emitter comprises electrode contacts that are substantially coplanar with a back surface of the support and emits light through a front surface of the support opposite the back surface when provided with power through the electrode contacts. The redistribution layer comprises a dielectric layer that is disposed on and in contact with the support back surface and distribution contacts that extend through the dielectric layer. Each of the distribution contacts is electrically connected to an electrode contact and is at least partially exposed.

  • Publication number: 20230359770
    Abstract: A system allows the identification and protection of sensitive data in a multiple ways, which can be combined for different workflows, data situations or use cases. The system scans datasets to identify sensitive data or identifying datasets, and to enable the anonymisation of sensitive or identifying datasets by processing that data to produce a safe copy. Furthermore, the system prevents access to a raw dataset. The system enables privacy preserving aggregate queries and computations. The system uses differentially private algorithms to reduce or prevent the risk of identification or disclosure of sensitive information. The system scales to big data and is implemented in a way that supports parallel execution on a distributed compute cluster.

  • Patent number: 11805254
    Abstract: An electronic device of decoding a current video block in a video picture is provided. The electronic device determines whether a partitioning scheme of the current video block is a single tree partitioning or a dual tree partitioning. The electronic device selects, based on the partitioning scheme, one derivation from candidate derivations to compute a first predictive quantization parameter (QP) for the current video block. A first derivation comprises computing the first predictive QP based at least in part on another QP and an additional value when the partitioning scheme is the single tree partitioning. A second derivation comprises computing the first predictive QP by using a previously-derived QP when the partitioning scheme is the dual tree partitioning. The electronic device computes a second QP based at least in part on the first predictive QP and an offset value, and use the second QP to decode the current video block.

  • Publication number: 20230334073
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically determining an intent of a user based on an intent model to attach a file to a document, prompting the user to confirm the intent using a predetermined character in an inline nudge, generating and displaying an inline menu with an interactive list of ranked files as a suggestion for attachment. The disclosed technology uses the intent for specifying a scope of the inline search. The intent model for attaching content maintained by third-party applications uses a combination of an embeddings model and an N-gram model with limited seed queries and determines the intent based on intent scores associated with respective third-party applications. The present disclosure ranks respective candidate content based on a degree of relevance to the intent. The user selects one or more content from the list for attaching to the document.

  • Publication number: 20230310751
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are clot treatment systems with filtering syringes, and associated devices and methods. The filtering syringe can be coupled to a catheter subsystem insertable within a patient. The filtering syringe can aspirate material (e.g., clot material, blood, etc.) from a patient via the catheter subsystem. The filtering syringe can include a plunger assembly, and the plunger assembly can include one or more filters. Each of the filters can be configured to (i) allow at least a first portion of aspirated material (e.g., blood) to pass through at least one of the filters, and (ii) prevent at least a second portion of the aspirated material (e.g., clot material) from passing through at least one of the filters. In some embodiments, the filtering syringe is fluidly coupled to a filtered material subsystem that can fluidly couple the filtering syringe to the patient or another suitable fluid outflow location.

  • Patent number: 11777884
    Abstract: Traditional messaging applications (such as email, social networking platforms, text, instant messaging, chat, etc.) are ill-equipped for collaboration. For instance, a sender and recipients corresponding regarding a topic are often required to exchange multiple messages. As a result, determining a consensus regarding the topic or summarizing the collaboration is difficult and cumbersome. Moreover, when links are included in messages, recipients are required to navigate away from the messaging application to view the linked content. A messaging application is provided that may be configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate regarding links or data within a sent message or a receive message. In aspects, a collaborative user experience (UX) is provided, which may be an interface within a message that enables real-time collaboration between a sender and one or more recipients regarding message content—without exchanging additional messages or navigating away from the messaging application.
