  • Patent number: 10423321
    Abstract: In some implementations a computing device may comprise a first and a second display device. A zone may be defined on the first display device. The computing device may receive selection input selecting an object and receive directional input to move the object on the first display device. After determining that a location of the object is within a predetermined distance from (or within) a boundary of the zone, a message indicating an action associated with the zone may be displayed. After determining that at least a portion of the object is within the boundary of the zone, the action may be performed. The action may include moving the object to the second display device, opening (e.g., maximizing) a window associated with the object to span both the first and second display device, or storing the object in the zone for subsequent retrieval on the second display device.

  • Patent number: 10423674
    Abstract: When a client device loads a resource, a request for a first content item for a first content item slot is transmitted to a content item selection system. The content item selection system uses a predictive model to determine a predicted content item slot based on a document object model position of the first content item slot and a URL of the resource or a publisher identifier. Parameters for the predicted content item slot are used to select a subsequent content item for the predicted content item slot. The first content item and the subsequent content item are transmitted to the client device responsive to the request. The subsequent content item includes metadata indicative of the parameters of the predicted content item slot to be matched to a subsequent content item slot of the resource.

  • Patent number: 10423986
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are provided herein for automated submission for solicited application slots. In various embodiments, a digital component source process executing on a first computing system may determine a device identifier associated with an application slot to be populated with digital component(s). The application slot may be solicited by a digital component liaison process executing on the first computing system or a second computing system. The digital component source process may retrieve application slot attainment parameter(s) associated with the device identifier. The application slot attainment parameter(s) may be generated based on location ordinal(s) associated with the device identifier. The digital component source process may determine, based on the retrieved application slot attainment parameters, a submission to populate the application slot with a particular digital component item.

  • Patent number: 10421866
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems and methods for creating durable lubricious surfaces (DLS) via interfacial modification. The DLS can be prepared via a combination of a solid, a liquid, and an additive that modifies the interface between the DLS and a contact liquid, resulting in an interfacial layer that acts as a lubricant and/or protective coating between the DLS and the contact liquid. The lubricating effect created between the additive and the contact liquid results in enhanced slipperiness, as well as the protective properties that can help with durability of the DLS.

  • Patent number: 10423647
    Abstract: In a datacenter setting, a summary of differences and similarities between two or more states of the same or similar systems are predicted. Initially, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network is trained with to predict a summary describing the state change between at least two states of the datacenter. Given a set of training data (at least two datacenter states that are annotated with a state change description), the LSTM neural network learns which similarities and differences between the datacenter states correspond to the annotations. Accordingly, given a set of test data comprising at least two states of a datacenter represented by context graphs that indicate a plurality of relationships among a plurality of nodes corresponding to components of a datacenter, the LSTM neural network is able to determine a state change description that summarizes the differences and similarities between the at least two states of the datacenter.

  • Patent number: 10422827
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to detection of faults in an electric power system. In one embodiment, a time-domain traveling wave directional subsystem is configured to receive a plurality of current traveling wave and a plurality of voltage traveling wave time-domain representations based on electrical conditions in the electric power delivery system. The plurality of current and voltage traveling wave time-domain representations may be compared to respective minimum thresholds. An integral may be generated based on a product of the plurality of current and voltage traveling wave time-domain representations when the current and voltage traveling wave time-domain representations exceed the minimum thresholds. A sign of the integral may reflect whether the fault is in the forward or reverse direction. A fault detector subsystem configured to declare the fault when the sign reflects that the fault is in the forward direction and the integral exceeds a security margin.
