Abstract: A computer implemented tool and method for assisting users of earphones with selecting an earbud that will provide the best fit for the user. The tool collects image data of the user's ear, along with fit data associated with the user's experience (for example, comfort and/or stability data). The tool further includes a database of ear data and associated objective/subjective data that is utilized to calculate a fit value representative of the quality of fit based on the image data and the fit criteria data generated by the user. The tool will output at least one of an indication of fit level of the earphone in the user's ear based on the fit value, and a recommendation to the user for altering the selected earphone to improve fit of the earphone within the user's ear based on the fit value.

Abstract: Implementations relate to executing a tailored version of a dynamic interactive dialog application, where the tailored version is tailored based on structured content that is specified by a creator of the tailored version. Executing the tailored version of the interactive dialog application can be in response to receiving, via an assistant interface of an assistant application, an invocation phrase assigned to the tailored version and/or other user interface input that identifies the tailored version. In some implementations, a tailored version of a dynamic interactive dialog application is executed with persona value(s) that are specified by a creator of the tailored version and/or that are predicted based on structured content and/or other input provided by the creator in creating the tailored version. In some implementations, structured content and/or other input provided by a creator in creating a tailored version of an interactive dialog application is utilized in indexing the tailored version.

Abstract: A child's booster seat is provided and can include a booster seat base and seat back. The booster seat base can be collapsed or folded from an in-use configuration to a collapsed configuration to improve portability of the booster seat base. The booster seat base can include multiple seating surface panels that are rotatably coupled to one another to allow the booster seat base to be collapsed from an in-use width to a collapsed width that is less than the in-use width. The booster seat base can also be coupled and decoupled from the booster seat back. The booster seat base can include tab members that can be inserted into tab receiving cavities of the booster seat back. Adjustment of the booster seat base from the in-use configuration to the collapsed configuration can also facilitate removal of the tab members from the tab receiving cavities of the booster seat back.

Abstract: A portable dehumidifier includes multiple microchannel condenser coils, a fan, a water reservoir, and a bracket. The fan is located adjacent to an airflow outlet and is configured to generate an airflow that flows into the portable dehumidifier through an airflow inlet and out of the portable dehumidifier through the airflow outlet. The airflow flows through an evaporator and the plurality of microchannel condenser coils in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow. The water reservoir is located at least partially below the evaporator and is configured to store water removed from the airflow. The water reservoir includes a top that is at least partially open to capture water falling from the evaporator. The bracket is coupled to a compressor and covers a portion of the open top of the water reservoir in order to prevent the water from spilling when the portable dehumidifier is tilted at an angle.

Abstract: A portable dehumidifier includes a plurality of microchannel condenser coils, a fan, and a retractable handle. The fan is located adjacent to an airflow outlet and is configured to generate an airflow that flows into the portable dehumidifier through an airflow inlet and out of the portable dehumidifier through the airflow outlet. The airflow flows through an evaporator and the plurality of microchannel condenser coils in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow. The retractable handle is configured to slide into and out of the portable dehumidifier and to pivot upwards and lock into a tilted position to allow for transport of the portable dehumidifier.

Abstract: Functionality is disclosed for automated deployment of applications. A network-based deployment service provides functionality for deploying software components to physical or virtual hosts in a service provider network and/or to hosts in other types of networks external to the service provider network. A user of the deployment service creates an application revision that includes deployable content and an application specification defining how the application is to be deployed and one or more lifecycle events. The application revision is then uploaded to a storage service, source code repository, or other location. A deployment configuration is also created that defines the location of the application revision, a deployment group, and a schedule for the deployment. A deployment agent executing on hosts in the deployment group obtains the application revision from the specified location, deploys the deployable content according to the schedule, and performs the lifecycle events.

Abstract: Systems and methods for information retrieval are provided that permit users and/or processing entities to access and define synthetic data, synthetic objects, and/or synthetic groupings of data in one or more collections of information. In one embodiment, data access on an information retrieval system can occur through an interpretation layer which interprets any synthetic data against data physically stored in the collection. Synthetic data can define virtual data objects, virtual data elements, virtual data attributes, virtual data groupings, and/or data entities that can be interpreted against data that may be stored physically in the collection of information. The system and methods for information retrieval can return results from the one or more collections of information based not only on the data stored, but also on the virtual data generated from interpretation of the stored data.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system accesses current usage information of a mobile device associated with a user. The computing system then determine a future user state of the user based on multiple predictor functions. The multiple predictor functions calculate a probability of the future user state based on multiple weights and multiple decay factors. The multiple decay factors are determined from past user states. The computing system further sends instructions to the mobile device for adapting the operation of the mobile device corresponding to the determined future user state.

Abstract: A method for tracking high-level source attribution of a generated assembly language code includes: receiving commands for compiling or linking a high-level language code; analyzing the received commands to determine whether a command is a compiler command for compiling the high-level language code or a link command for linking the low level object code; when the command is a compiler command: generating assembly language code by compiling the high-level language code, parsing the generated assembly language code to generate an internal representation for the assembly language code, storing the internal representation in a computer memory; and generating associated linker input artifacts for linking; when the command is a link command: updating the internal representation with the associated linker input artifacts; and generating a report file from the updated internal representation.
