  • Publication number: 20250141821
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and apparatuses for surfacing content items in a messaging system. The methods may include storing content items generated by a client device of a user. The method may further include determining a time period and content items corresponding to the time period to resurface to the user, the time period selected based on comparing the social interaction data, the viewing data, and the modification data associated with the content items corresponding to the time period with the social interaction data, the viewing data, and the modification data associated with content items generated during other time periods. The method may further include generating a title page for the time period to resurface to the user, the title page comprising a title and an indication of a date for the time period.

  • Publication number: 20250015537
    Abstract: An electrical connector housing comprises a body, a locking portion, and a securing portion. The body defines a receiving cavity adapted to receive a terminal, and an insertion hole adapted to receive a conductive connecting element, such that the conductive connecting element electrically connects the terminal. The locking portion is movably connected to the body and movable from a first position to a second position after the conductive connecting element is inserted. In the second position, a wedge-shaped structure arranged on at least one of the body or the locking portion is adapted to increase a retention force between the terminal and the conductive connecting element. The securing portion selectively secures the locking portion in the second position.

  • Patent number: 12181945
    Abstract: Systems, computer readable medium and methods for improved boot time for autonomous drones are disclosed. Autonomous drones are disclosed that include an Off State and a Power off State. The Off State appears to a user of the autonomous drone as if the autonomous drone is off, but the Off State maintains some of the autonomous drone's state such as the operating system being loaded in a memory. The autonomous drone enters the Power off State, where all or substantially all the power is turned off, from the Off State based on a timeout or a power level of a battery dropping below a threshold level. The Off State reduces the boot time of the autonomous drone compared with the Power off State. The time reduction is often less than ten seconds, but this time is beneficial for situations where a user would like the autonomous drone to immediately perform photography.

  • Publication number: 20240393925
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and apparatuses for surfacing content items in a messaging system. The methods may include storing a content item generated by a client device of a user, the user associated with the messaging system and determining a score to assign to the interaction and updating a resurface score associated with the content item with the score. The methods may further include determining whether to resurface the content item to the user based on the resurface score and causing to be displayed on a display of the client device a user interface comprising a user interface item for the user to display the content item. The methods may further include updating weights used to determine the scores based on interactions of the user with the resurfaced content items.
