  • Publication number: 20180234376
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe content bundle creation, where a user can create an exemplary bundle of content through an application/service. As an example, a bundle of content may be a bundle of emails created by a user through an exemplary email service. A first input may be received through a user interface of an email service. The first input associates a first email thread with one or more additional emails threads. A second input may be received through the user interface. The second input provides a tag to associate with the first email thread and the one or more additional email threads. An exemplary bundle of emails may be generated. The bundle of emails may comprise the first email thread, the one or more additional email threads and an association with the tag. The bundle of emails may be displayed inline in a mailbox of an email service.

  • Publication number: 20180232441
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe enhanced searching and filtering of message content by an application/service. Processing operations described herein are applicable to any type of message content including but not limited to bundled content of an email service. A search input may be received through a user interface of an email service. The search input may be for searching emails associated with a mailbox the email service. Email results may be retrieved based on the received search input. The retrieved email results may be categorized into one or more categories. A smart filter may be generated for filtering the retrieved email results. An exemplary smart filter may comprise at least one filter field that corresponds to category specific content extracted from emails of a category of the one or more categories. The email results and the smart filter may be displayed through the user interface of the email service.

  • Publication number: 20180234375
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe automated management of rich content previews associated with bundled content of an application/service. As an example, a bundle of content may be a bundle of emails created within an email service. Email content associated with a bundle of emails may be accessed. The email content may be evaluated based on application of machine learning model that: determines an entity type associated with the bundle of emails based on the tag, identifies a state associated with the bundle of emails, and determines relevancy of specific email content in association with a determined entity type and the identified state associated with the bundle of emails. A rich content preview for the bundle of emails may be generated based on an evaluation of the email content.

  • Publication number: 20180234374
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe sharing of bundled content through an application/service. A first input may be received, through a user interface of the email service. The first input is associated with a selection of a user interface element for sharing of a bundle of emails that comprises a grouping of at least two separate email threads. A second input is received indicating one or more other users for sharing the bundle of emails. The bundle of emails is shared with the one or more other users. Sharing of the bundle of emails creates a sharing permission that enables multi-directional sharing between the user and the one or more other users for current content of the shared bundle of emails and future content added to the shared bundle of emails. The shared bundle of emails is displayed inline with other emails of an email mailbox of the user through the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20180234377
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe automated bundling of content on behalf of a user by an application/service. As an example, a bundle of content may be a bundle of emails created on behalf of a user by an email service. Email data associated with a user account of an email service may be accessed. The email data may be evaluated by applying a bundle generation model that that evaluates the emails for bundling associations. An exemplary bundle generation model may evaluate the email data based on: user signal data from actions pertaining to categorization of specific emails, content and metadata corresponding with the email data, and server side metric analysis of activity corresponding with the user account. A bundle of emails may be automatically generated based on an evaluation result from applying the bundle generation model. The bundle of emails may be transmitted for display in a mailbox of the user account.

  • Publication number: 20150207768
    Abstract: When a message is received, the recipient set in the message, as well as ancestor message identifiers, are analyzed. The received message is either placed in an existing thread in an existing conversation, or in a new thread in the conversation, based upon the analysis of the recipient set and the ancestor identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20140225796
    Abstract: An ultra-wide bandwidth multi-channel offset Cassegrain dichroic antenna system serves for bidirectional signal transmission between a ground-based system and at least one satellite. By properly selecting the high and low frequency band, ultra wide bandwidths for both high and low frequency band signals are provided. The band widths are about 15%, even up-to 50%, of the carrier frequency. Especially, the band widths for high frequency band signals are much wider than that for low frequency band signals. The low frequency band can be from 10.7 up-to 12.75 GHz while the high frequency band can be from 17 up-to 30 GHz. Furthermore, in order to achieve ultra-wide bandwidth, a surface of a dichroic sub-dish is divided into a plurality of unit areas. Arrangements of the metal dichroic element of one unit area are slightly different from another unit area f, while the metal elements on same unit area are identical.

  • Patent number: 7141338
    Abstract: Corner rounding and image shortening is substantially reduced in an image printed on a substrate by illuminating a photolithographic mask and projecting light transmitted through the photolithographic mask onto the substrate using an optical projection system. The photolithographic mask has a mask pattern that includes at least one printable feature having at least one corner. Incorporated, in the mask pattern, is at least one line feature corresponding to the corner of the printable feature. The line feature is in at least close proximity to the corresponding corner of the printable feature and has a line width that is smaller than a minimum resolution of the optical projection system.

  • Publication number: 20060242109
    Abstract: Auto-complete lists that are utilized by server-deployed client processes are provided. The auto-complete lists are utilized by a client process to provide a list of potential data records that may match a data record that is partially entered into an input field by a user. The user may either continue to type in a complete data record into the input field, or alternatively, select a displayed data record contained in the auto-complete list for entry in the input field.

  • Patent number: 6927172
    Abstract: Damage to the rim of a semiconductor wafer caused by etching processes is reduced by forming a rim of photoresist or other material around the outer edge of the wafer that has a thickness such that images projected on the rim are sufficiently out of focus that they do not develop, so that etching takes place only in the interior.

  • Patent number: 6815367
    Abstract: A process of eliminating resist footing on a hardmask when preparing a semiconductor wafer stack, comprising: a) depositing a layer of hardmask material on a substrate; b) subjecting the hardmask to oxygen under conditions sufficient to produce an oxide cap layer and provide a hardmask/oxide cap layer with a substrate reflectivity below 0.8%; c) forming a layer of SiO2 on the hardmask/oxide cap layer; d) forming a layer of photoresist on the layer of SiO2; e) patterning and developing the layer of photoresist by exposing photoresist; and f) etching exposed portions of the layer of hardmask/oxide cap layer/SiO2 layer to obtain a semiconductor wafer stack with no standing waves and free from resist footing.
