Abstract: A pod for storing and dispensing a beverage preparation ingredient during a dispensing operation. The pod comprises a body (202) defining a cavity for storing the beverage preparation ingredient. Said body comprises a closed surface having a central axis (B); and a side wall (210) disposed around the central axis, extending from the closed surface (214) in a direction away from the closed surface, wherein an edge (216) of the side wall distal from the closed surface defines a dispensing side of the body. The pod further comprises a closing member for closing the dispensing side and scaling the cavity. The body further defines an actuation member (204) extending from the closed surface of the pod towards the dispensing side. The actuation member being configured to exert a force on the closing member to cause an opening to be formed between the cavity and a region outside of the pod around the perimeter of the wall at the dispensing side.

Abstract: Systems, methods, client devices, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for enabling video calls which facilitate shared augmented reality (AR) background environments. In particular, the disclosed systems can establish a video call between client devices. In addition, the disclosed systems can enable client devices to segment one or more participants captured via videos on the client devices from captured backgrounds. Moreover, the disclosed systems can enable the client devices to render, in place of the segmented backgrounds, AR background environments to place captured videos of the one or more participants within a shared AR background space to create the perception that the participants of the video call are present in the same location (or setting).

Abstract: Techniques are described that provide a gallery of media files via a messaging application. The messaging application may include one or more messaging threads between a user and one or more other users. The user may share a media file with another user via a message associated with a message thread. The media files may include photographs, videos, links, screenshots, documents, graphic interchange format (GIF) images, and other media content shared between a user and one or more other users. A communication platform may determine that the message includes a media file and may associate the media file with media galleries associated with the user and the other user. The media galleries may enable both users to easily access shared media content and to quickly identify a particular media files of interest.

Abstract: A method and system provide performance computing on a public grid. A computational mesh to solve a received engineering simulation (that has computations/processes) is computed. The mesh divides the CAD model up spatially into elements where conservation equations are formed. Mesh vertices identify nodes where field variables are defined. Each process owns a node/element and is assigned to a mesh partition. A solver application installed on each computer and each computer CPU spawns a thread to each CPU core. A matrix is assembled by each thread that computes numerical operators (that are stored as a coefficient matrix) that represent the conservation equations. The matrix is solved by solving the equations represented by the coefficient matrix. The solving yields field vectors that update the field variables at the nodes. The engineering solution is rendered based on the updated field variables.

Abstract: The FCCBBO provides investors, speculators and traders in cryptocurrency products with a unique, customized data feed that solves for several problems unique to the cryptocurrency markets. The ability to filter based on order size allows for efficient scanning of available order books as well as to understand the recent historical trading patterns. This, along with the unique ability to select which exchanges should be included based on the unique account status of software users at each exchange allows for a much more contextual view of the data. While other financial markets have examples of consolidated data feeds, none of them allow for multiple size filters and no commercial feeds support customizable exchange selection based on user account status. Those features are uniquely important in the cryptocurrency markets, which is what is the driver behind this invention.
