Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for generating a virtual tag for an item in a physical environment. For instance, an image of the physical environment captured by and displayed on a user interface of a computing device may be provided as input to a trained machine learning model configured to identify the item including a first subset of item attributes. The item may be identified and information associated with the item, including a second subset of item attributes, may be received from a data store using the first subset. A spatial location of the item may be identified in the image. An icon may be generated for the item and rendered by the computing device for display on the user interface in association with the spatial location of the item in the image. The icon may be indicative of at least one item attribute from the first or second subset.

Abstract: Aspects provided may allow for an entity to deactivate a virtual card number (VCN). In particular, aspects provide for deactivating VCNs based on a frequency or periodicity of an interaction. After deactivation, the entity may block future charges to the VCN. Further aspects provide for using incoming charge data sent to one or more previous users to train a machine learning model to determine the frequency or periodicity of the interaction. Additional aspects may also provide for including trial length when determining the deactivation date, providing VCN configuration options to a user, and notifying the user based on upcoming and current VCN status changes.

Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.

Each mounting mechanism is configured for attachment to the rail and configured for attachment to an edge of, or a surface of, a table or desk, so that the mounting mechanism(s) support the rail relative to said surface. The elongated rail is configured to extend horizontally relative to and above the surface of the table or desk. The elongated rail has at least a front surface, a bottom surface/edge, and a back surface, as well as mounting slots. In some instances, a channel (or trough) is defined between the front and back surfaces, which extends between first and second ends of the elongated rail. The rail accommodates placement of electrical cords to/from a power source, for mounting components (e.g., clamps, brackets, release mechanisms) and/or for connecting accessories thereto.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive interaction data corresponding to an interaction associated with a particular user of a plurality of users. The system may determine, based on the interaction data, one or more interaction categories associated with the interaction. The system may store the interaction data as historical interaction data associated with historical interactions of the particular user. The system may determine, based on the historical interaction data, experience statuses associated with the particular user in at least a subset of the plurality of categories. The system may receive, from a user device of the particular user, review data indicating a review associated with a historical interaction of the particular user. The system may store the review as historical review data. The review may be associated with one or more experience statuses of the particular user in the one or more interaction categories associated with the historical interaction.

Abstract: An antimicrobial device, such as a flashlight, lantern, or lamp, is discussed herein. The antimicrobial device produces light in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum (i.e., 150-250 nm), including 200-230 nm. The antimicrobial device includes an electron source, an extractor, and a target material. The electron source provides the electrons of sufficient energy to cause a photon to be released, whether by a target or by the electron itself. The extractor extracts the electrons from the electron source. The target material is a component at which the electron is directed. The target material can release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range or cause the electron to release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range.

Abstract: A method of forming a glass sheet comprises: (a) forming a ribbon of glass from molten glass with a pair of forming rollers; (b) reducing horizontal temperature variability of the ribbon of glass to be 10° C. or less across 80 percent of an entire width of the ribbon of glass before the ribbon of glass cools to a glass transition temperature; (c) controlling a cooling rate of the ribbon of glass while the ribbon of glass moves vertically downward within a setting zone such that the ribbon of glass has a first average cooling rate before the ribbon of glass cools to the glass transition temperature and a second average cooling rate after the ribbon of glass cools to the glass transition temperature, the first average cooling rate being less than the second average cooling rate; and (d) separating a glass sheet from the ribbon of glass.

Abstract: A system receives an image including a live facial image of the user and an identity document including a photograph of the user. Moreover, the system calculates a facial match score by comparing facial features in the live facial image to facial features in the photograph. The system recognizes data objects and characters in the identity document using optical character recognition (OCR) and computer vision, and then identifies, based on the recognized data objects and characters, a type of the identity document. Further, the system calculates a document validity score by comparing the recognized characters and data objects to character strings and data objects known to be present in the identified type of the identity document. Additionally, the system determines and outputs the user's identity verification status based on comparing the facial match score to a facial match threshold and comparing the document validity score to a document validity threshold.

Abstract: Authentication request notifications are selectively suppressed, reducing notification fatigue and susceptibility to social engineering attacks. Authentication request notifications may be suppressed by not presenting a push notification on the user's phone. The authentication request may still be accessed and approved by manually opening the authenticator app. Notifications may be suppressed based on an estimation that the person attempting to login is not who they say they are. This estimation may be based on applying heuristics and/or machine learning models to the context of the login attempt, such as the IP address that originated the login request, time of day, recent user actions, patterns of previous logins, etc. One heuristic determines that the user has repeatedly ignored notifications caused by a particular IP address. Machine learning models generate a risk score from the login context, and notifications may be suppressed if the risk score exceeds a threshold.
