  • Publication number: 20250104937
    Abstract: A button structure includes a switch, a shell, an elastic member, a button and at least one adjustable limiting member. The elastic member includes a fixing portion, a compressive portion and an elastic portion. The fixing portion is connected to the shell. The compressive portion is configured to abut against the switch. The elastic portion is connected between the fixing portion and the compressive portion. The elastic portion is suitable for deformation. The button is connected to the compressive portion, and the compressive portion is located between the button and the switch. The adjustable limiting member is disposed on the button, and is configured to abut against the elastic portion. The adjustable limiting member adjustably protrudes for a length toward the elastic portion relative to the button.

  • Patent number: 12243533
    Abstract: Implementations can reduce the time required to obtain responses from an automated assistant through proactive caching, locally at a client device, of proactive assistant cache entries—and through on-device utilization of the proactive assistant cache entries. Different proactive cache entries can be provided to different client devices, and various implementations relate to technique(s) utilized in determining which proactive cache entries to provide to which client devices. In some of those implementations, in determining which proactive cache entries to provide (proactively or in response to a request) to a given client device, a remote system selects, from a superset of candidate proactive cache entries, a subset of the cache entries for providing to the given client device.

  • Patent number: 12219416
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes one or more non-transitory computer-readable media containing computer-executable instructions embodied therein and at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media. The at least one processor is configured to receive through a serving cell of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), a sidelink (SL) resource configuration of a second RAT, determine first validity area information associated with the first RAT and second validity area information associated with the second RAT, and identify a validity area of the SL resource configuration based on the first validity area information and the second validity area information.

  • Publication number: 20250039753
    Abstract: A method for sidelink operation performed by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first cell, a conditional handover command that includes an indication of a second cell and one or more triggering conditions for handover to the second cell, performing handover to the second cell after determining that at least one of the triggering conditions is fulfilled, and applying a sidelink resource configuration that is stored in the UE after performing handover to the second cell based on the conditional handover command.

  • Patent number: 12208376
    Abstract: A method for preparing a supercritical fluid by deep-sea pressure is provided and belongs to the technical field of supercritical fluid preparation. The method includes the following steps of: placing a low-pressure fluid in a closed flexible container, sending the closed flexible container down to a location of a sea at a depth where a seawater pressure meets a requirement by using a powered or unpowered traction device, leaving the flexible container standing still until a volume of the flexible container does not change, wrapping the closed flexible container with a rigid pressure-bearing container, transferring the closed flexible container to the sea surface by the powered or unpowered traction device, and taking out the fluid in the flexible container as supercritical fluid. Then the supercritical fluid is produced. Therefore, the process of preparing supercritical (high pressure) liquid in the deep-sea is safer and more stable than the preparation way on land.

  • Publication number: 20230297964
    Abstract: A method, a system, and computer program product for managing pay equity cloud-based software applications are provided. A query for compensation data for an employment position associated with a macro-entity is received. The employment position is defined by parameters associated with a micro-entity. The compensation data for similar employment positions associated with the macro-entity is retrieved, from a database and by using the parameters. The compensation data is processed to generate grouped and ranked employment positions. Compensation gaps between the ranked employment positions are determined, by executing a multivariate regression analysis including an analysis of one or more cohorts of employment positions within the ranked employment positions. A recommendation for adjusting compensation associated with one or more employment positions is generated, by using a machine learning model. An instruction to display a notification including the recommendation is provided.

  • Patent number: 10949429
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A score for each of a plurality of authors of posts submitted to a server system is determined. The score for each individual author in the plurality is based on a score of one or more authors in the plurality that have requested to subscribe to a stream of posts that the individual author submits to the server system. A particular post submitted by a particular author in the plurality is received at the server system and from a computing device. A score is assigned to the particular post based on a score of the particular author. The particular post is transmitted from the server system to computing devices that are associated with authors who have requested to subscribe to posts by the particular author.

  • Patent number: 10511652
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems and program products. A server system receives from a plurality of computing devices indications that a user of each of the computing devices requested to receive posts that a first user authors.
