  • Patent number: 10237208
    Abstract: Facilitating replying to received email messages includes presenting a selectable set of fast reply tokens that correspond to snippets of multimedia content, providing a mechanism to superimpose a selected subset of the fast reply tokens on to different portions of the received email message to compose an annotated email messages, wherein the fast reply tokens are separate from any reply email text, and sending the annotated email message. The fast reply tokens may include action icons, status icons, emoticons, emojis, expressive elements, clip art, highlighters, geometric shapes, arrows, short tunes, audio clips, video clips, abbreviated standard texts, and freehand notes. Facilitating replying to received email messages may also include providing cultural adaptations and localization of fast reply tokens based on a setting provided by a recipient of the annotated email message.

  • Publication number: 20160284221
    Abstract: A system and process for dynamically determining a route for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is provided. In one example, at a computer system including one or more processors and memory, the process includes receiving a route request, the route request including an origin location and destination location for a UAV, receiving geospatial information associated with the origin location and the destination location, the geospatial information comprising at least one of physical obstacles and no-fly zones, determining a route of the UAV from the origin location to the destination location based at least in part on the geo-spatial information, and causing the route to be communicated to the UAV.

  • Patent number: 8676123
    Abstract: Establishing a connection between mobile devices includes arranging a first one of the mobile devices to display a sequence of images that are received by a second one of the mobile devices. The first one of the mobile devices displays a first sequence of images that are received by the second one of the mobile devices. The second one of the mobile devices displays a second sequence of images that are received by the first one of the mobile devices. The first and second sequences of images establish contact between the mobile devices. The mobile devices exchanging images to determine mutually available data transmission techniques following establishing contact between the mobile devices.

  • Publication number: 20060054937
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate including silicon and an oxide layer on the substrate. The oxide layer includes silicon. An interfacial dielectric layer is disposed on the oxide layer opposite the substrate. The interfacial dielectric layer includes HfO2, ZrO2, a zirconium silicate alloy, and/or a hafnium silicate alloy having a thickness between about 0.5 nm and 1.0 nm. A primary dielectric layer is disposed on the interfacial dielectric layer opposite the substrate. The primary dielectric layer includes AlO3; TiO2; a group IIIB or VB transition metal oxide; a trivalent lanthanide series rare earth oxide; a silicate alloy; an aluminate alloy; a complex binary oxide having two transition metal oxides and/or a complex binary oxide having a transition metal oxide and a lanthanide rare earth oxide. A thickness of the primary dielectric layer is at least about five times greater than the thickness of the interfacial dielectric layer.
