  • Publication number: 20250080805
    Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art to enable users to broadcast a status that indicates that a user is inviting others to join their livestream, such that they are either prepared to livestream or is livestreaming. An invite-to-join status may be limited to the specific friends and community members of the user's choosing. If the user has no viewer yet, the user will not broadcast a livestream and will continue with what they are doing, such as playing a game or watching a movie. Once a first viewer joins, then the user screen may be broadcasted into a livestream.

  • Patent number: 12230894
    Abstract: An antenna for an electronic device comprising of a metal-sheet antenna and an antenna feed connecting the metal-sheet antenna to a radio frequency (RF) printed circuit board (PCB). A screw configured to operate as a ground feed for the metal-sheet antenna and to provide mechanical support in the electronic device wherein the screw is further configured to provide radiation for additional bands for the antenna. The metal-sheet antenna supports a first band, and the screw supports a second band, based on dimensions of a screw boss, and a third band, based on a gap between the screw boss and the metal-sheet antenna.

  • Publication number: 20240324745
    Abstract: A luggage tag includes an electronic ink display screen affixed to a surface of the luggage tag. Tag memory of the tag stores a unique identifier. An antenna receives an electromagnetic signal. Circuitry of the tag captures energy and acquires data from the electromagnetic signal received by the antenna and powers the electronic ink display with the captured energy. A processor receives the data acquired by the circuitry from the electromagnetic signal and produces an image on the electronic ink display using the acquired data if the acquired data includes a match to the unique identifier stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 12106078
    Abstract: In some aspects, systems and methods for rapidly building, managing, and sharing machine learning models are provided. Managing the lifecycle of machine learning models can include: receiving a set of unannotated data; requesting annotations of samples of the unannotated data to produce an annotated set of data; building a machine learning model based on the annotated set of data; deploying the machine learning model to a client system, wherein production annotations are generated; collecting the generated production annotations and generating a new machine learning model incorporating the production annotations; and selecting one of the machine learning model built based on the annotated set of data or the new machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11955921
    Abstract: One embodiment can provide a photovoltaic roof tile. The photovoltaic roof tile can include a transparent front cover, a transparent back cover, and a plurality of polycrystalline-Si-based photovoltaic structures positioned between the front cover and the back cover. A respective polycrystalline-Si-based photovoltaic structure has a front surface facing the front cover and a back surface facing the back cover. The photovoltaic roof tile can further include a paint layer positioned on a back surface of the back cover facing away from the front cover. A color of the paint layer substantially matches a color of the front surface of the respective polycrystalline-Si-based photovoltaic structure.

  • Patent number: 11431282
    Abstract: One embodiment can provide a solar roof tile. The solar roof tile can include a front cover, a back cover, one or more photovoltaic structures positioned between the front cover and the back cover, and an optical filter positioned between the front cover and the photovoltaic structures. The optical filter is configured to block light within a predetermined spectral range, thereby preventing the light from reflecting off surfaces of the photovoltaic structures to exit the solar roof tile.

  • Patent number: 11431279
    Abstract: One embodiment can provide a photovoltaic roof tile. The photovoltaic roof tile can include a transparent front cover, a back cover, a plurality of photovoltaic structures positioned between the front cover and the back cover, and a front-cover-colorant layer positioned on an interior surface of the transparent front cover that faces a top surface of the photovoltaic structures. A color of the front-cover-colorant layer can substantially match a color of the top surface of the photovoltaic structures, and the front-cover-colorant layer can be configured to cover regions of the interior surface that are not directly above the top surface of the photovoltaic structures, thereby enabling a substantially uniform appearance of the photovoltaic roof tile.
