Abstract: The present disclosure relates to circuit structures and, more particularly, to circuit structures which detect high speed and high precision characterization of VTsat and VTlin of FET arrays and methods of manufacture and use. The circuit includes a control loop comprised of a differential amplifier, a plurality of FET arrays, and at least one analog switch enabling selection between a calibration mode and an operation mode.

Abstract: Techniques for group interactions are described. In at least some implementations, content associated with a group identity is presented based on priority settings for each user from a group of users. According to various implementations, priority settings are determined for each user based on an individual identity for each user and the group identity. Thus, a group of users can interact with content optimized for priority settings of the group associated with the group identity in a single location.

Abstract: Techniques for a group data and priority in an individual desktop are described. In at least some implementations, content associated with a group identity is presented in an individual desktop based on priority settings. According to various implementations, priority settings are determined for each user of a group based on an individual identity for each user and the group identity. Thus, a group of users can interact with content associated with the group identity in an individual environment.

Abstract: A method of payment using a client device is disclosed. The payment can be made through a payment method service that can control the payment flow and options available to the user of a client device. Using the payment method service, new payment options with new data schemas and/or new process flows can be used by the client device, but without any need to update software stored on the client device. The payment method service can utilize the look and feel of the client device, such that the user views payment options in the native UI of the client device.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing a system for visualizing items and conversations in a communication application. Conversations are presented as a list of items in the communication application. A quantity of presented items is limited based on a size of a client device employed for viewing the items. Visualizations are applied to the presented items to attempt to maximize a number of items that are presented while providing information about the items to enable a user to preview content and take actions on the items. The visualizations include different templates applied to each item based on a type of item and content associated with the item, and the templates may be are dynamically updated based on user interactions with the items. The templates for items are determined by applying a set of rules and factors to each item to determine a most appropriate visualization for each item.

Abstract: Techniques for digital assistant experience based on presence sensing are described herein. In implementations, a system is able to detect user presence and distance from a reference point, and tailor a digital assistant experience based on distance. The distance, for example, represents a distance from a client device that outputs various elements of a digital assistant experience, such as visual and audio elements. Various other contextual factors may additionally or alternatively be considered in adapting a digital assistant experience.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing a system to facilitate efficient management and prioritization of conversations, such as emails, in a communication application. Conversations may be prioritized according to user preferences, and an inbox may be rearranged to display important conversations in a user defined order. Conversations may also be associated together so that they may appear together and flow together in the inbox. Additionally, the system may enable a user to delay display of a conversation until a later time based on various criteria such as location, time, and client device. A user may also move important emails to the top of an inbox for prominent display. The system may perform the actions automatically based on observed user behavior. Furthermore, the system may enable touch interactions for interacting with and managing the conversations, and quick controls may be provided for executing commands to perform actions associated with the conversations.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein facilitate the use of the primary work queue within an information management application as a centralized access point for creating and viewing multiple types of new draft items such as a note, to-do, or message item. An information management application can receive a new item request through its user interface and initiate a new draft item in response to the new item request. A view of new draft item can then be surfaced in a primary work queue of the information management application. The item type of the new draft item may be different than other item types in the primary work queue.

Abstract: A method for exchanging information between two communication devices includes communicating first identity information from a first communication device to a second communication device over a short-range communication link in response to an event. A second identity is received from the second communication device over the short-range communication link. The first identity information identifies a user of the first communication device and the second identity information identifies a user of the second communication device. Based on the first and second identity information, information is obtained specifying at least one attribute of the first and second users that they have in common.

Abstract: Card applets associated with an electronic wallet are activated and deactivated based on user-defined rules. Based on the rules and a device state, a card emulation state and card applet states are modified to enable or disable completion of transactions. The transactions are between a computing device and a reader such as a point-of-sale terminal. In some embodiments, a user designates a plurality of the card applets as fast cards capable of completing a transaction via near-field communication (NFC) interaction without user input at a time of the transaction.

Abstract: A simplified transaction data management system using automatic calculation with multiple editable fields is provided. The system enables a user to manage transactions with a simplified interface, with multiple editable fields and automatic calculation of other fields based on mathematical relations with inputs that are received in any of the other editable fields. For example, either net amounts subject to a tax or gross amounts including the tax may be entered for a transaction, and the other value is automatically computed and displayed. Either value may subsequently be re-entered, and the other value may again automatically be computed and displayed, replacing the earlier input and output.

Abstract: A simplified notification scheme that looks at past behavior of accepting or rejecting messages and modifies whether and/or how future similar notifications are displayed. For example, if a user consistently ignores or rejects a pop-up notification, the system can modify whether or not such a pop-up notification is displayed again. In one specific embodiment, a wireless network can be detected by a mobile phone. The phone can determine whether or not a pop-up notification related to the wireless-network detection should be displayed based on past behavior of the user.
