Abstract: Content items are rearranged within a digital collaboration space (e.g., a digital whiteboard) based on category metadata determined for the content items using one or more learning models. The content items are added to the digital collaboration space by one or more users. For each of the content items, category metadata is determined using a learning model that processes information associated with the content item. A rearrangement of the content items is determined based on the category metadata determined for each of the content items. The content items, rearranged according to the rearrangement, are then output to a layer of the digital collaboration space. Other rearrangements of the content items can be determined based on non-category metadata associated with the content items, and the content items, rearranged according to those other rearrangements, can be output to other layers of the digital collaboration space.

Abstract: A hose connector is formed at the end of a rigid pipe body used to connect the pipe body to a flexible polymeric hose. The hose connector includes a frustoconical front end extending outward from a tip to a radially enlarged first ring portion that terminates at a circumferential first step. A radially reduced second ring portion extends from the first step backwards at a constant diameter to a circumferential rear edge. A circumferential second step extends from the second ring portion rear edge backwards in a decreasing circumferential diameter to a mid-section of the pipe body. A flexible hose is adapted to be inserted by pressure over the pipe body at the tip end until it passes beyond the second step to at least the mid-section of the pipe body.

Abstract: User interface (UI) tiles of conference participants are arranged in a UI of conferencing software according to relative locations of those conference participants within a conference room. Positional information and video data are obtained from one or more video capture devices located within a conference room. Relative locations of conference participants within the conference room are determined based on the positional information, such as by defining coordinates for the conference participants within a coordinate system based on the positional information and the video data and determining the relative locations based on the coordinates. Output configured to cause a client application to arrange UI tiles associated with the conference participants is generated according to the relative locations. The output is then transmitted to one or more client devices to cause a UI of conferencing software at each of those client devices to display the UI tiles in the specified arrangement.

Abstract: Access to functionality of a software service is enabled at a first device associated with a user based on the first device being in a primary mode. A connection may thereafter be established between the software service and a second device associated with the same user. In response to that connection, access to a subset of the functionality of the software service is limited at the second device based on the second device being in a secondary mode determined based on the second device. Because the first device and the second device are used by the same user, the software service does not represent those devices as separate users of the software service, but rather identifies only the first device, as the primary mode device, in connection with the user to other users of the software service.

Abstract: Described herein is a technique to facilitate conjunctive filtering for an embedding-based information retrieval system. Each item in a content collection is initially analyzed to identify its property values for some set of properties. For each item, its property values are encoded in the form of a vector, and concatenated with an item embedding for the item to derive an enhanced item embedding. When a query is received, a query embedding is generated. Any filtering parameters received with or as part of the query are encoded in the form of a vector, and the vector is concatenated with the query embedding to derive an enhanced query embedding. The enhanced query embedding is then used in a “k” approximate nearest neighbor search to identify items relevant to the query and having property values that satisfy the filtering parameters.

Abstract: Content-aware device selection is performed for modifying content elements in digital collaboration spaces. A content element, such as a text box or drawing space, is detected within a digital collaboration space based on input received from a first device of a first device type. A second device type to use to modify the content element is determined based on a content type of the content element. One or more devices of that second device type which are authenticated to access the digital collaboration space are identified. At least one of those authenticated devices are then prompted for input to use to modify the content element. The content element is then modified within the digital collaboration space based on the input received from at least one of those prompted devices.

Abstract: Reservations of resources within a dynamic workspace are made and facilitated including by pushing configurations specific to a worker for whom a reservation is made to the resource for a limited time period for the reservation. When the worker arrives for the reservation and checks in, configurations associated with the worker are obtained and pushed to the resource to configure the resource for use by the worker for a time period of the reservation. In some cases, an identity of the worker may be verified to complete the check in process for the reservation. In response to an end time of the reservation being determined, such as based on a scheduled end time for the reservation or based on a determination that the resource has gone unused for some amount of time, the configurations are removed from the resource to prepare the resource for use by a next worker.

Abstract: The future presence of a worker in a dynamic workspace which includes resources for temporary use may be signaled to other workers. In response a first worker making a reservation of a resource, a second worker to indicate the future presence of that first worker to is determined based on communication records associated with the first worker and the second worker. An indication of the reservation of the resource for the first worker, and thus the future presence of that first worker in an office which includes that reserved resource, is accordingly signaled to the second worker. A suggested resource for the second worker may then be determined based on the reservation of the resource for the first worker. In response to the second worker making a reservation of the suggested resource, a reservation record indicating the reservation of the suggested resource for the second worker may then be generated.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes receiving a connection request from a user application. A service request is sent to a radio resource control (RRC) module. An indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring is received from the RRC module. A retry of the user application connection request is prevented until expiration of an access-class-barring timer of the RRC module that resulted in the access class barring.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to biopsy apparatuses, systems and techniques for biopsy using a biopsy pattern. Some aspects relate to moving a distal portion of a medical instrument to one or more sample locations of the biopsy pattern and guiding the instrument to obtain tissue samples from the sample locations within the biopsy pattern. Some aspects relate to obtaining the biopsy pattern and adjusting the sample locations within the biopsy pattern based on various factors such as anatomical features.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a technique is presented that accesses training data that includes information about items, queries for items, and labels for the combinations of items and queries. The labels may correspond to different events, and there may be multiple different labels for the same combination of item and query. A machine learned model is then trained to learn a function for embedding each item to which a label pertains and a function for embedding each query to which a label pertains. Then, for each item in the training data, the items are embedded using the machine learned model, and the item embeddings for the item are concatenated into a single item embedding. At inference time, a similar concatenation is performed for multiple query embeddings. The concatenated embeddings are then used as input to an approximate k-nearest neighbor search function.
