Abstract: Method of generating animation overlays starts with a processor causing a communication interface for a communication session to he displayed at client devices. The processor receives from a first client device an animation sending request and causes an animation sending interface to be displayed in the communication interface of the first client device. The animation sending interface comprises animation overlay icons. Each of the animation overlay icons comprise a first avatar associated with the first user. The processor receives from the first client device a selection of a first animation overlay icon and causes the first animation overlay corresponding to the first animation overlay icon to be displayed as an overlay on the communication interface of each of the plurality of client devices. The first animation overlay is an animation that includes the first avatar. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to detect fraudulent transactions. The method include detecting an online transaction initiated by a computing device. The method includes determining, identifying that the online transaction is in a state, a value corresponding to information of the computing device or a field of the online transaction. The method includes obtaining a look-up value corresponding to the value. The method includes selecting a routing policy based on comparing the value with the look-up value. The method includes determining to interrupt the online transaction based on detecting a presence of a match between at least one of the value and the look-up value. The method can include interrupting, responsive to the determination, the online transaction to direct the online transaction to a resolving state according to the routing policy.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging software and systems by generating customized images with avatars of different users within electronic messages. For example, users of different mobile computing devices can exchange electronic communications with images generated to include avatars representing themselves as well as their friends, colleagues, and other acquaintances.

Abstract: A table system power module is provided. In some embodiments, an example table system includes a table top and a power module removably mounted to the table top. The power module includes a contact surface made from a relatively softer material.

Abstract: A sheet product roll holder may include a support arm, a spindle, a flowable material container, and an automated flowable material dispensing mechanism. The support arm may define a first longitudinal axis. The spindle may be coupled to the support arm and define a second longitudinal axis extending transverse to the first longitudinal axis, and the spindle may be configured to rotatably support a roll of sheet product thereon. The flowable material container may be positioned at least partially within the spindle and define a third longitudinal axis extending coaxially with the second longitudinal axis, and the flowable material container may include a container body and a volume of a flowable material positioned within the container body. The automated flowable material dispensing mechanism may be positioned at least partially within the support arm and configured to dispense the flowable material from the flowable material container.

Abstract: A composite scaffold having a highly porous interior with increased surface area and void volume is surrounded by a flexible support structure that substantially maintains its three-dimensional shape under tension and provides mechanical reinforcement during repair or reconstruction of soft tissue while simultaneously facilitating regeneration of functional tissue.

Abstract: Some implementations of a table system can include a protective member that is positionable below a table to provide protection to both a table and chairs. The protective member can extend lateral beyond a peripheral edge of the table top, for example, to protect the table and accessory furniture while allowing the table top and the peripheral edge of the table top to remain exposed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of steviol glycoside rebaudiosides D4, WB1 and WB2 and the production of rebaudioside M from Reb D4.

Abstract: Thermal energy storage and recovery methods and systems are provided herein, which utilize a thermal energy storage vessel. The vessel comprises a packed bed of chemically inert particulates exhibiting high thermal conductivity. A gaseous heat transfer fluid (e.g., steam) is fed to the vessel, whereby at least a portion of the fluid condenses on the particulates and transfers latent heat to the particulates. During a heat recovery step, a heat recovery fluid (e.g., air) is fed to the vessel, whereby sensible heat transfers from the particulates to the heat recovery fluid. The warmed heat recovery fluid may then be used to provide required heat for a variety of applications.

Abstract: Urinal screens are provided including an outer ring and a web portion bounded by the outer ring and formed from a plurality of web strings disposed in a mesh pattern, such that a plurality of open areas are defined among the web strings. The web portion includes a vaulted portion. Urinal screen assemblies are also provided and include a urinal screen and a bioenzymatic block containing odor combatting chemistry disposed in a void formed by the vaulted portion of the urinal screen.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device that holds writing utensils, particularly crayons, which can be worn on the wrist by the user. The device has a rigid housing with a plurality of slots where crayons can be stored, two adjustable wings that wrap around the user's wrist, and a connector structure which joins the housing structure and the wings together.
