  • Publication number: 20230360696
    Abstract: A read is initiated with respect to a target cell. A pair of adjacent cells includes a first cell and a second cell each adjacent to the target cell. First cell state information is obtained for the first cell and second cell state information is obtained for the second cell. A state information bin is determined by applying a pre-defined operation to the first cell state information and the second cell state information of the respective pair of adjacent cells. The target cell is assigned to the state information bin. Each state information bin defines a read level offset for reading the target cell.

  • Publication number: 20230085567
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for a spatial chat view dashboard within a messaging platform. A system displays, at a client device, a dashboard user interface for a messaging platform, consisting of at least a dashboard virtual background and one or more spatial chat rooms. Each of the spatial chat rooms is a spatial representation of a chat session associated with a number of participants. The system receives, from the client device, a selection of a spatial chat room from the one or more spatial chat rooms. The system then displays a spatial chat user interface comprising the selected spatial chat room.

  • Publication number: 20230082461
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide dynamic background selection in a chat interface. First, the system receives metadata about a chat session comprising a number of participants. The system then determines a virtual background based on one or more background selection criteria and at least a subset of the metadata about the chat session. Finally, the system displays, for each of the participants in the chat session, a spatial chat user interface including the determined virtual background, with the one or more spatialized avatars overlaid on the virtual background and positioned spatially within it.

  • Publication number: 20230082021
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for a spatialized display of chat messages within a messaging platform. First, the system displays, for each of a number of participants within a messaging session, a spatial chat user interface (hereinafter “UI”) consisting of: a virtual background; and one or more spatialized avatars representing the participants. The system receives initial chat messages sent by a participant from the plurality of participants, then displays, adjacent to each of a subset of the spatialized avatars, one or more initial chat bubbles corresponding to messages sent by one or more of the participants represented by the subset of the spatialized avatars. Concurrently or subsequently, the system displays one or more other participant chat bubbles. The system receives additional chat messages sent by the participant, and then displays the additional chat bubbles, repositioning the initial chat bubbles while the additional chat bubbles are displayed in their place.

  • Patent number: 10619758
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for automatically detecting the failure configuration of a pneumatic actuator. A control module is operatively coupled to the actuator, and the actuator is operatively coupled to a valve having a flow control member. When a number of pilot valves included in the control module is indicative of a double-acting actuator, the failure configuration of the actuator is determined based on the number of pilot valves. When the number of pilot valves included in the control module is indicative of a single-acting actuator, the failure configuration of the actuator is determined by comparing a first measurement value obtained in response to moving the flow control member in a first direction to a first position and a second measurement value obtained in response to moving the flow control member in a second direction opposite the first direction to a second position.
