  • Publication number: 20240095237
    Abstract: Identification of content gaps based on relative user-selection rates between multiple discrete content sources. A system analyzes search log activity to determine whether users that are conducting particular types of search activities are ultimately selecting and relying upon content resources from a predefined content source of interest or, alternatively, whether such users are unsatisfied with the predefined content source of interest and are instead relying upon other third-party content sources. This particular type of analysis provides valuable insights into whether content gaps exist within the predefined content source of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230318342
    Abstract: A method for controlling charging of a wearable computing device includes determining a voltage at a charging interface of the wearable computing device when the wearable computing device is not being charged by an external power supply to which the wearable computing device is coupled via a conductor. The method includes determining a resistance of the conductor when the wearable computing device is drawing a first charging current from the external power supply. The method includes determining an expected voltage drop between the external power supply and the wearable computing device when the wearable computing device is drawing a second charging current that is greater than the first charging current. The method includes reducing the current draw when an actual voltage drop between the external power supply and the wearable computing device is greater than a threshold voltage drop that is greater than the expected voltage drop.

  • Patent number: 11166294
    Abstract: Many environments or operational conditions create repetitive radio frequency (RF) interference conditions resulting from repetitive mechanical or electrical activity. This activity may create oscillations in the RF conditions between an MTC UE and a serving base station. Aspects of the present invention are directed to improving data efficiency and battery life by optimizing communication based on a detected periodicity of repetitive mechanical or electrical activity at the UE by monitoring the oscillations of at least one RF condition between the MTC UE and the base station, and scheduling communication between the UE and the network during periods associated with favorable radio conditions.
