  • Patent number: 11956508
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a context for a user account and selects a plurality of collections for an interface. A collection includes one or more instances of content. The method analyzes a context for a user account to select a theme from a plurality of themes for a collection in the plurality of collections. The themes in the plurality of themes apply different display formats to the collection. The method sends an identifier for the theme and information for the collection to a client device being used by the user account to indicate to the interface the theme to use to display the collection with the plurality of collections.

  • Publication number: 20240093221
    Abstract: This disclosure provides recombinant DNA constructs and transgenic plants having enhanced traits such as increased yield, increased nitrogen use efficiency, and enhanced drought tolerance or water use efficiency. Transgenic plants may include field crops as well as plant propagules and progeny of such transgenic plants. Methods of making and using such transgenic plants are also provided. This disclosure also provides methods of producing seed from such transgenic plants, growing such seed, and selecting progeny plants with enhanced traits. Also disclosed are transgenic plants with altered phenotypes which are useful for screening and selecting transgenic events for the desired enhanced trait.

  • Patent number: 11138300
    Abstract: A security fingerprint architecture is disclosed. A security fingerprint comprises one or more behavioral factors which store a history of events associated with one or more users. The data in the security fingerprint is exposed by one or more modes, each of which determines the conditions that data in the security fingerprint may be accessed. Security fingerprints support a number of primitive operations that allow set operations to be performed. Security fingerprints may be used in for authentication, advertising, and other operations either alone, or in conjunction with third party data sources. An exemplary platform of security fingerprints built upon a cellular infrastructure is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10460325
    Abstract: A customer service dashboard comprises an account pane and a partially surrounding administrative layer. The account pane presents information that is typically available in a customer-facing account management portal. The administrative layer presents additional content that is not typically available to customers. The administrative layer may have a menu component for selecting and navigating between customer accounts, as well as for viewing calendared items. The administrative layer may also have a module selection component for opening panes corresponding to functional modules. These modules can expose functionality relating to the current customer account. In one example, a module such as this is used for quickly navigating between interrupted tasks that are being performed in the account view. The administrative layer can be quickly hidden by selecting a visible toggle control, so that the dashboard closely replicates what would be available to and seen by a customer.

  • Patent number: 10028098
    Abstract: Techniques determining a categorized location of a user of a user device based at least in part on a set of location and time pairs for the user device are described herein. The set of location and time pairs for the user device include at least one location and time pair that is associated with a communication of the user device over a communication network. In some embodiments, the techniques further predict a location for the user given a specified time and based at least in part on the set of location and time pairs for the user device.
