  • Patent number: 11017358
    Abstract: Calendar data including meeting schedules for users may be received by a processing device. A set of user schedules for the users may be generated based upon the calendar data. Each user schedule may contain a set of timeslots that represent a time window and an indication of whether a meeting is scheduled. A first combined score for the set of user schedules may be calculated. One or more rescheduling moves for the scheduled meetings may be determined using a rescheduling rule. A second combined score may be generated based on the rescheduling moves for the set of user schedules. A determination may be made as to whether the second combined score is higher than the first combined score. One or more meeting updates to reschedule the one or more meetings for the users may be generated.

  • Patent number: 9702900
    Abstract: A method for performing sub-nanometer three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of a sample under ambient conditions using a diamond having at least one shallowly planted nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. A driving radio-frequency (RF) signal and a microwave signal are applied to provide independent control of the NV spin and the target dark spins. A magnetic-field gradient is applied to the sample with a scanning magnetic tip to provide a narrow spatial volume in which the target dark electronic spins are on resonance with the driving RF field. The sample is controllably scanned by moving the magnetic tip to systematically bring non-resonant target dark spins into resonance with RF signal. The dark spins are measured and mapped by detecting magnetic resonance of said nitrogen-vacancy center at each of said different magnetic tip positions. The dark-spin point-spread-function for imaging the dark spins is directly measured by the NV center.
