Abstract: Examples relate to systems and methods for integrated content in a conversation interface of a messaging system. The system presents a conversation interface comprising a plurality of conversation cells, each of the plurality of conversation cells corresponding to a different conversation between an individual user and one or more users in a set of users, the set of users being associated with the individual user. The system detects a condition for presenting sponsored content to the individual user and, in response, generates a sponsored conversation cell associated with the sponsored content. The system presents the sponsored conversation cell among the plurality of conversation cells in the conversation interface, the sponsored conversation cell comprising a visual indicator that identifies the sponsored conversation cell as being associated with the sponsored content.

Abstract: Examples relate to systems and methods for integrated content in a conversation interface of a messaging system. The system presents, in a conversation interface, a sponsored conversation cell among a plurality of conversation cells, the sponsored conversation cell comprising a visual indicator that identifies the sponsored conversation cell as being associated with sponsored content. The system receives input that selects the sponsored conversation cell and in response to receiving the input, generates a query comprising a request for specific information associated with the sponsored content. The system presents a response to the query comprising the specific information associated with the sponsored content.

The system presents a conversation interface comprising a plurality of conversation cells, each of the plurality of conversation cells corresponding to a different conversation between an individual user and one or more users in a set of users, the set of users being associated with the individual user. The system presents a sponsored conversation cell among the plurality of conversation cells in the conversation interface, the sponsored conversation cell comprising a visual indicator that identifies the sponsored conversation cell as being associated with sponsored content. The system accesses one or more sponsored content removal criteria and selectively removes the sponsored conversation cell from being presented among the plurality of conversation cells based on the one or more sponsored content removal criteria.

Abstract: A literacy development device includes a light source that provides a general white illumination area and an adjustable light within the illumination area, both from the same light source. The adjustable light can be changed in shape and color through a LCD screen provided within the device. The device contains a rechargeable battery and various buttons for changing functions, light parameters, and other controls. The device is preferably usable in teaching applications, especially with children and other students with learning and/or attention issues. The device is useful in drawing attention to certain areas of a surface that includes written language, including a letter, a group of letters, a word, or a sentence, through use of the adjustable light to highlight, underline, or otherwise draw visual attention to a particular area of the surface within the illumination area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing carriageway chopping in a mapping structure using algorithms to select a lane connector of a first lane of a carriageway. The lane connector may be evaluated to determine a face and a heading of the lane connector. The heading and face of the lane connector may be used to determine a candidate slice of the lane connector. The systems and method may determine a second candidate slice of a second lane connector of a second lane of the carriageway wherein the second lane connector is adjacent to the lane connector. The systems and method may align the candidate slices of adjacent lane connectors when the candidate slices are within a distance threshold of each other. The systems and method may chop the carriageway at the aligned candidate slices to generate carriageway links between two chops of the carriageway.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for releasing an application feature in incremental stages while monitoring the application for anomalies. The feature includes a package of code and an action setting. The methods in some implementations include identifying active devices on which the application has been installed, monitoring the application according to a set of metrics, activating the feature by changing its action setting for a first segment of the active devices, pausing the feature if an anomaly is detected among the set of metrics, and generating a repair ticket. As long as no anomaly is detected, the activating step proceeds for subsequent segments of the active devices, iteratively, until the release is completed. A feature rank may be used to process and release a plurality of features in order of priority.

Abstract: Described are street level intelligence platforms, systems, and methods that can include a fleet of swarm vehicles having imaging devices. Images captured by the imaging devices can be used to produce and/or be integrated into maps of the area to produce high-definition maps in near real-time. Such maps may provide enhanced street level intelligence useful for fleet management, navigation, traffic monitoring, and/or so forth.

Abstract: A microfluidic device for detection of an analyte in a fluid is described. The microfluidic device comprises a substrate having a first surface defining entrances to one or more chambers defined in the substrate, surfaces of the chambers defining a second surface of the substrate, the first surface being modified for selective targeting and capture of at least one analyte to operably effect a blocking of the entrance to at least one of the chambers, and wherein a response characteristic of the microfluidic device is operably varied by the blocking of the entrance to the at least one of the chambers, thereby providing an indication of the presence of the analyte within the fluid.

Abstract: A multi-sensor mounting system and method includes a secondary pipe and an adapter. The secondary pipe comprises a fastening device configured to fix the secondary pipe to the process pipe, and a valve that is switchable between an open state and a closed state. The adapter detachably connects a sensor module to the secondary pipe. The valve allows a sensing probe of the sensor module being inserted into the process pipe in the open state, and to block a fluid flow in the secondary pipe in the closed state, for example, for times when the sensing probe is removed from the secondary pipe.
