  • Publication number: 20240214641
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method selects a collection for an interface, wherein a collection includes one or more instances of content. A theme is selected from a plurality of themes for the collection. A first theme in the plurality of themes includes one or more tiles that is displayed in a larger area compared to a second theme that includes one or more tiles that is displayed in a smaller area. The method sends information for the theme and the collection to a client device to indicate to the interface the theme to use to display the collection.

  • Patent number: 11956508
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a context for a user account and selects a plurality of collections for an interface. A collection includes one or more instances of content. The method analyzes a context for a user account to select a theme from a plurality of themes for a collection in the plurality of collections. The themes in the plurality of themes apply different display formats to the collection. The method sends an identifier for the theme and information for the collection to a client device being used by the user account to indicate to the interface the theme to use to display the collection with the plurality of collections.

  • Patent number: 11502975
    Abstract: A messaging application may automatically analyze content of one or more messages and/or user information to automatically provide suggestions to a user within a messaging application. The suggestions may automatically incorporate particular non-messaging functionality into the messaging application. The automatic suggestions may suggest one or more appropriate responses to be selected by a user to respond in the messaging application, and/or may automatically send one or more appropriate responses on behalf of a user.

  • Publication number: 20220347358
    Abstract: A system embodied in an article of clothing for synchronizing one or more breast-pumping sessions of an individual (such as a mother) and milk consumption by a second individual (such as a baby or infant) is described. In particular, based on measurements of a volume of the collected milk as a function of time and received information specifying milk consumption by the second individual as a function of time, a control circuit may determine a need for milk. Then, the control circuit may provide feedback based on the determined need for milk that synchronizes the one or more breast-pumping sessions and the milk consumption. For example, the feedback may alert the individual to initiate a breast-pumping session and/or may provide a signal to a breast pump that initiates a breast-pumping session.

  • Patent number: 11356740
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method selects a context for a user account and selects a plurality of collections for an interface. A collection includes a set of videos. The method selects a theme from a plurality of themes for a collection in the plurality of collections based on the context. The plurality of themes apply different display formats to the collection. The method sends an identifier for the theme and information for the collection to a client device being used by the user account to indicate to the interface the theme to use to display the collection with the plurality of collections.

  • Patent number: 10798028
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for bot interaction are described. For example, some implementations can include a computer-executed method including providing a messaging application, on a first computing device associated with a first user, to enable communication between the first user and at least one other user. The method can also include detecting, at the messaging application, a user request, and programmatically determining that an operation in response to the user request requires sharing of data associated with the first user.

  • Publication number: 20130289725
    Abstract: A bone implant device includes a barrel having a sharpened distal end for advancing into bone and a proximal end portion configured to engage a driver end for advancing and turning the barrel to implant the barrel into bone. A channel is formed longitudinally through at least a portion of the barrel and is open ended on the proximal end portion. A permeable material is disposed within the channel that permits fluid communication therethrough between the distal end and the channel. Methods of use are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8226619
    Abstract: A catheter with a balloon anchor may be sized to fit through an inner needle and introduced into the patient through the needle. The inner needle may comprise an atraumatic needle with a side port and/or a blunt tip. The catheter may include a radiopaque coil disposed over the distal portion of the catheter body to assist with catheter placement when viewed with fluoroscopy and/or x-ray. The distal portion of the catheter can be very flexible. A balloon inflation tube may terminate proximal to a proximal end of the expandable balloon anchor such that the distal portion of catheter can be flexible. This termination of the inflation tube may also position the inflation tube away from the annulus and nerve roots, so as to avoid irritation of the annulus and rubbing of the nerve roots that may potentially obscure FAD test results.
