  • Patent number: 10705683
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system in which a user is enabled to efficiently locate and view messages of a conversation that are likely to be more relevant or pertinent to the user. The system is configured to determine that a message in the conversation is associated with a trigger feature that comprises a piece of information and/or an interaction from another user that is likely worthy of the user's attention. The system can then generate a visual notification associated with the trigger feature. The visual notification can be displayed in association with a graphical element that represents the conversation. Upon receiving an indication of a selection of the visual notification, the system can display the message and trigger feature and/or change visual characteristics associated with the message to bring focus to the message.

  • Publication number: 20200159204
    Abstract: The invention is a method to optimize solar photovoltaic power plant repowering by making use of the smart predictive and preventive maintenance which detects failures in modules or in cells within modules, i.e., aerial inspections by infrared thermography and/or electroluminescence. In the method object of the invention, the detected failed modules are separated in different types of failures: A—irreversible; B—reversible and C—partly reusable. Repowering consists on substituting modules of type A for new, more powerful ones, and re-group them series-connected within the same strings (1). Modules with type B failures are repaired and installed back in their original place, and modules C are either re-grouped in series-strings, or substituted by new, more powerful modules, also series connected in strings (1).

  • Patent number: 10630740
    Abstract: Described herein is a system that generates and displays an interactive timeline for a teleconference session, where the interactive timeline includes a representation of supplemental recorded content that has been added after a live viewing of the teleconference session has ended. The system can inject the supplemental recorded content into previously recorded content or append the supplemental recorded content to the interactive timeline. Moreover, the system can cause the supplemental recorded content to subsequently be displayed in one of multiple different views. Furthermore, the system can generate and/or distribute a notification of the supplemental recorded content so that participants to the teleconference session can be made aware of additional activity contributed to the teleconference session (e.g., by someone who missed the live viewing of the teleconference session).

  • Publication number: 20200054647
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of ruthenium(II) complexes for preparing a medicinal product for treating cancer, particularly cancer comprising cancer stem cells. Said ruthenium complexes are capable of selectively metallating guanine quadruplexes, thus resulting in increased expression of the c-MYC oncogene. This increase in the proportion of c-MYC may promote the differentiation of cancer stem cells.

  • Publication number: 20190332921
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to decentralized storage and methods for artificial intelligence. For example, blockchain storage structure can be adapted for storing artificial intelligence learnings. Nodes of a chain can includes hash codes generated and validated by a community of learners operating computing system across a distributed network. The hash codes can be validated hash codes in which a community of learners determines through a competitive process a consensus interpretation of a machine learning. The validated hash codes can represent machine learnings, without storing the underlying media or files in the chain itself. This can allow a customer to subsequently query the chain, such as by establishing a query condition and searching the chain, and determine new learnings and insights from the community.

  • Patent number: 10417789
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure includes methods for realistic real-time motion blur of a primitive. The methods can calculate a first movement of a primitive, blur texture space data based on the first movement, cache the blurred texture space data, and re-use the blurred texture space data when later movement of the primitive calculated at a later time is found to be similar to the first movement. The methods can re-blur the texture space data to generate second blurred texture space data, store second blurred texture space data, and use the second blurred texture space data to generate blurred primitives if the later movement differs by a threshold amount from the first movement.

  • Patent number: 10218690
    Abstract: An enterprise server is provisioned with an authentication response language, where the authentication response language allows the enterprise server to issue instructions for authentication steps to an enterprise client, which enables the enterprise client to execute a set of instructions for navigating an authentication sequence. The set of instructions installed into and served by the enterprise server varies depending on a protocol inherently used by the authentication topology. The enterprise client, when accessing a protected resource, and not already authenticated, receives a set of authentication instructions from the enterprise server formulated in the authentication response language. The client starts to interpret the provided authentication instructions, but controls the presentation layer and interface of any user interactions. The client follows the sequence by sending requests and receiving responses from one or more servers in the topology until the sequence is complete.

  • Patent number: 10171256
    Abstract: Described herein is a system that generates and displays an interactive timeline for a teleconference session. The system determines notable events that occur in association with live and/or recorded content of the teleconference session. The system adds a representation of a notable event to the interactive timeline in association with a time at which the notable event occurs. Moreover, the system enables varying levels of user interaction with a representation so that the user can view different amounts of information associated with a notable event. For example, first input associated with a representation can cause first information about a notable event to be displayed to a user without interrupting a current view of content being displayed. In an event the user wants to view more detailed information about the notable event, the user can provide second input which causes second information about the notable event to be displayed.
