  • Patent number: 10769701
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods allow, in connection with a customized web landing page, a “shake to reveal” content functionality, wherein an end-user customer provides input, via an electronic device, with respect to predefined categories, and content responsive to the input is determined. The content may include a product or service recommendation and will have one or more sensory aspects pertaining thereto. Upon performance of a triggering action on the end-user device, the device is provided with aural, visual, haptic, or other feedback conveying the sensory aspects. Further, the content is displayed on the device. Varying forms of end-user triggering actions may be performed, and embodiments may use a neural network trained on a data set to generate the recommendations and select content for the end-user.

  • Patent number: 10762135
    Abstract: A digital medium environment includes an asset processing application that performs editing of assets. A projection function is trained using pairs of actions pertaining to software edits, and assets resulting from the actions to learn a joint embedding between the actions and the assets. The projection function is used in the asset processing application to recommend software actions to create an asset, and also to recommend assets to demonstrate the effects of software actions. Recommendations are based on ranking distance measures that measure distances between actions representations and asset representations in a vector space.

  • Patent number: 10742815
    Abstract: Responders and requesters can be assigned a score while waiting. Requesters and responders are matched via an auction type system, where requesters with the best requester scores are matched with requesters with the best responder scores. The requester scores can be boosted while the requester is waiting for a response if the requester performs certain actions. The requester score and responder score can increase over time. The requester score and responder score can also be based on other variables.

  • Patent number: 10711528
    Abstract: A polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC), which is attached or bonded to a substrate to form a cutter for a drill bit, is comprised of sintered polycrystalline diamond interspersed with a seed material which has a hexagonal close packed (HCP) crystalline structure. A region of the sintered polycrystalline diamond structure, near one or more of its working surfaces, which has been seeded with an HCP seed material prior to sintering, is leached to remove catalyst. Selectively seeding portions or regions of a sintered polycrystalline diamond structure permits differing leach rates to form leached regions with differing distances or depths and geometries.
