  • Patent number: 11018667
    Abstract: An optical keyswitch includes a keycap, a supporting mechanism having a protrusion disposed under the keycap to support the keycap to move downward or upward, and a switch module including a circuit board, an emitter, and a receiver. The emitter and the receiver are electrically connected to the circuit board. The emitter emits an optical signal to the receiver. When the keycap is not pressed, the receiver receives the optical signal of a first intensity. When the keycap is pressed, the protrusion moves along with the keycap, and the protrusion changes the optical signal received by the receiver to have a second intensity different from the first intensity, so the switch module is triggered to generate a triggering signal.

  • Publication number: 20210118020
    Abstract: A user preference hierarchy is determined from user response to images that are tagged. Tagged images may be generated by processing them with machine learning models trained to determine values for images. Product records including images and other data are analyzed to generate attribute vectors that are encoded to generate product vectors. Products are clustered according to their product vectors. Images of products within a cluster are clustered according to composition and groups of images are selected from image clusters for soliciting feedback regarding user preference for products of a cluster. Feedback is used to train a user preference model to estimate affinity for a product having a given product vector. A user may provide feedback regarding a price point and products are weighted according to a distribution having a highest value at the price point. The distribution may be asymmetrical according to direction of movement of the price point.

  • Publication number: 20210073593
    Abstract: Images are tagged with values in an image data hierarchy that is most subjective at its top level and least subjective at its bottom level, such as a hierarchy including style, type, and features for clothing. A user preference hierarchy is determined from user response to images that are tagged. Tagged images may be generated by processing them with machine learning models trained to determine values for images. Product records including images and other data are analyzed to generate attribute vectors that are encoded to generate product vectors. Products are clustered according to their product vectors. Images of products within a cluster are clustered according to composition and groups of images are selected from image clusters for soliciting feedback regarding user preference for products of a cluster. Feedback is used to train a user preference model to estimate user affinity for a product having a given product vector.

  • Publication number: 20200366424
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adaptively selecting a repetition level in wireless communications, based on events to improve coverage range via the repetition level while not unnecessarily reducing throughput. One such event can include a current signal-to-noise-ratio, e.g., as reported in a channel quality indicator report from a user equipment. Another such event can comprise a number of consecutive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments or negative acknowledgments (HARQ ACKS/NACKS), in which consecutive ACKs tend to indicate good signal quality, while consecutive NACKs tend to indicate poor signal quality. A combination of channel quality indicator-based adaptive repetition level and HARQ ACK/NACK-based adaptive repetition level can be employed.
