  • Patent number: 11972519
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for learning neural reflectance shaders from images. A set of one or more machine learning models can be trained to optimize an illumination latent code and a set of reflectance latent codes for an object within a set of input images. A shader can then be generated based on a machine learning model of the one or more machine learning models. The shader is configured to sample the illumination latent code and the set of reflectance latent codes for the object. A 3D representation of the object can be rendered using the generated shader.

  • Patent number: 11748639
    Abstract: The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems for providing solution descriptions. A problem description of a problem is received, from a client, at a cloud-based reasoning service. A solution description for a solution to the problem is received. Case metadata for a case defining the problem and solution are generated by the cloud-based reasoning service. The case metadata, including the problem description and solution description, are stored by the cloud-based reasoning service in a cases repository associating solutions with problems. A new problem is received at the cloud-based reasoning service. An automated analysis of the new problem is performed, and a comparison is made of the new problem with existing solutions in the cases repository to identify solutions matching the new problem. A new solution description is provided that is based on a match between the new problem description and the problem description and using the problem solution.

  • Patent number: 10768774
    Abstract: System, method, and computer program product embodiments describe back navigation features of a page. In an embodiment, a display device displays the page in a first layout, selected from a set of layouts associated with the page, for displaying a first content. The display device navigates from the first layout to one or more subsequent layouts, each subsequent layout selected from the set of layouts. The subsequent layouts include a second layout that concurrently displays the first content and a second related content in separate panels of the second layout. The display device stores a navigation sequence from the first layout through each of the subsequent layouts. Responsive to receiving a command to return to the first layout, the display device selects the first layout, from the stored navigation sequence, to navigate from the second layout to the first layout. Then, the page is rendered using the selected first layout.

  • Patent number: 10649611
    Abstract: A system for presenting a common user interface (UI) of multiple applications on diverse client computing devices as a web page that includes a set of UI elements leading to the multiple applications. The diverse client computing devices have display screens of diverse sizes. In the system, backend servers host a UI infrastructure including the common UI and one or more object page floorplans of respective UI object pages representing the multiple applications and representing application information and data on the diverse client computing devices. Design tools are available to process the object page floorplans to display, create, or edit the UI object pages. The object page floorplans include a first object page layout including a title bar, a header, an expanded default state, a navigation control, a content area, and a footer toolbar containing actions that are performed upon a corresponding first UI object page.
