Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that intelligently sense digital user context across client devices applications utilizing a dynamic sensor graph framework and then utilize a persistent context store to generate flexible digital recommendations across digital applications. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize triggers to select and activate one or more sensor graphs. These sensor graphs can include software sensors arranged according to an architecture of dependencies and subject to various constraints. The underlying architecture of dependencies and constraints in each sensor graph allows the disclosed systems to avoid race-conditions in persisting actionable user-context based signals, verify the validity of sensor output through the sensor graph, generate user-context based recommendations across multiple related applications, and accommodate a specific latency/refresh rate of context values.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to a proof and attestation service that can confirm the veracity of a claim or a statement of truth based on data dynamically-retrieved from various data repositories. A server device receives, from a client device, a request to determine the veracity of a claim or a statement of truth. The server device is generally a trusted computing device, having privileged-access to a variety of data repositories that the client device may or may not access. The server device can select one or more data repositories based on the claim, obtain results data from the selected one or more data repositories, and evaluate each result to determine whether it corresponds to or contradicts the claim. A veracity score can be calculated for the claim or for a result that corresponds to or contradicts the claim.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of transferring bulk data, such as OLED compensation mask data, generated by a source device to a sink device using a high-bandwidth embedded DisplayPort (eDP) connection contemporaneous with an ENABLED Panel Self-Refresh (PSR) mode. Upon ENABLING the PSR mode, the source control circuitry causes the source transmitter circuitry, the sink receiver circuitry, and the eDP high-bandwidth communication link to remain active rather than inactive. The source control circuitry generates one or more data transport units (DTUs) having a header portion that contains data indicative of the presence of a bulk data payload and the non-display status of the bulk data payload carried by the DTUs.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for dynamically generating library reports is provided. An application server may acquire and receive a plurality of raw item datasets each associated with a library item from multiple sources; and map each of the plurality of raw item datasets to a set of parameters to generate a mapped item dataset for each library item by identifying a unique identifier for each raw item dataset associated with each library item. and process a plurality of mapped item datasets to output processed item datasets that corresponds to one or more metrics. The application server may dynamically generate one or more library reports by applying a machine learning algorithm on the processed item datasets. The machine learning algorithm is executed to determine a priority of generating each library report based at least on a user request.

Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

Abstract: A crossbow may include a bowstring and a string latch that can be moved into a first string latch position that holds the bowstring in a cocked position, a second string latch position that does not hold the bowstring in the cocked position and a third string latch position. To de-cock the crossbow, a de-cock activator may be selectively movable from a first de-cock activator position that prevents the string latch from being moved into the third string latch position into a second de-cock activator position that permits the string latch to be moved into the third string latch position. When the string latch is in the first string latch position and the de-cock activator is in the second de-cock activator position: the string latch may be selectively movable into the third string latch position and then the second string latch position permitting de-cocking of the crossbow.

Abstract: Techniques and system are described for a real time bid platform to control output of digital marketing content to a potential consumer. In an example, impression data is generated by a physical retail environment or mobile device of the potential consumer based on a determined location of a user within a physical retail environment. The impression data is used by a digital marketing system to expose bid opportunities to a plurality of advertiser systems via the real time bid platform. The advertiser systems then generate bids based on impression data described as part of the bid opportunity, and may also be based on additional information the advertiser systems have about the potential consumer obtained from third-party systems. The bids are then used as a basis to control output of digital marketing content to the potential consumer.
