  • Patent number: 11863638
    Abstract: An online system displays supplemental content in conjunction with messaging threads between users and third parties to promote clear and productive conversations. The online system enables third parties to specify a set of content items to be displayed within a messaging interface when a messaging thread is initiated with the third party by other users. The set of content items may include one or more of images, videos, or web pages. When a user initiates a messaging thread with a third party, the online system accesses the set of specified content items and generates a messaging interface including one or more of the specified content items. By incorporating the content items within the messaging interface, the online system enables users and third parties to communicate while interacting with and viewing the content items.

  • Patent number: 11320677
    Abstract: A wavelength calibration method for a microring filter includes selecting N wavelengths from M wavelengths, and performing operations on the microring filter for each of the N wavelengths, thereby obtaining N sets of calibrated voltages, and obtaining, based on N sets of calibrated voltages, M?N sets of calibrated voltages corresponding to M?N wavelengths of the M wavelengths. The operating include adjusting thermal tuning power of the plurality of microrings in response to one set of voltages, and obtaining a plurality of sets of voltages that enable monitored optical power to have an extreme value, and using the plurality of sets of voltages as a reference, adjusting the thermal tuning power of the plurality of microrings in response to another set of voltages, and determining one of the N sets of calibrated voltages from the plurality of sets of voltages.

  • Publication number: 20130013220
    Abstract: The distribution and/or ratio of Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine and Guanine of a DNA sequence from a target organism are organized and analyzed. The result is then used to determine the possible impacts the target organism may have in a host such as a human body. The corresponding treatment and prevention strategies may also be determined. The goal is to provide an effective way to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases such as infectious diseases, to test the safety of food and drugs, and therefore to create natural and effective solutions for health care and food supply. For example, a DNA analysis method configured according to the invention receives a DNA sequence input and converts it into a reassembled sequence. A result based on the reassembled sequence may then be output. Determination of the analysis result, treatment and prevention strategies may also be output.
