Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include actions of receiving image data of an image capturing a scene, receiving data describing one or more entities determined from the scene, the one or more entities being determined from the scene, determining one or more actions based on the one or more entities, each action being provided at least partly based on search results from searching the one or more entities, and providing instructions to display an action interface comprising one or more action elements, each action element being to induce execution of a respective action, the action interface being displayed in a viewfinder.

Abstract: An extended length of optical fiber having an offset core with an inscribed Bragg grating is used a distributed sensor in combination with an optical frequency domain reflectometer (OFDR) to enable measurement small-scale (e.g., sub-millimeter) contortions and forces as applied to the fiber. The offset core may be disposed in a spiral configuration around the central axis of the optical fiber to improve the spatial resolution of the measurement. A reference surface exhibit a predetermined texture (in the form of a series of corrugations, for example, that may be periodic or aperiodic, as long as known a priori) is disposed adjacent to a longitudinal portion of the sensor fiber. The application of a force to the combination of the plate and the fiber creates a local strain in the grating formed along the offset core of the fiber that results in a shift in the Bragg wavelength of the grating.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a lateral flow test device for performing a lateral flow test on a liquid sample, comprising: a test strip which comprises: a nitrocellulose membrane having a first capturing reagent disposed on a first surface along a test line, the first capturing reagent being configured to capture a first analyte in the liquid sample; a sample pad disposed at a first end of the nitrocellulose membrane configured to receive the liquid sample; a labelling reagent comprising a plurality of label molecules disposed on the first surface at a position between the sample pad and the test line, the label molecules being configured to bind to the first analyte; and an electrode array disposed over the nitrocellulose membrane configured to apply an electric potential across the first surface.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for predicting talent flow to and/or from a geographical region. In one technique, multiple entity profiles are stored and analyzed to generate training data that is labeled indicating whether a corresponding entity has moved to or moved from a region. A machine-learned prediction model is generated or trained based on the training data. Using the machine-learned prediction model, a prediction is made whether, for each entity corresponding to another entity profile, that entity will move to or move from a particular geographic region. Based on multiple predictions, a number of entities that are predicted to move to or move from the particular geographic region is determined. Talent flow data that is based on the number of entities is presented on a computer display.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for displaying information about entities in a social network. An analysis of profiles of multiple representatives is performed. Each representative is registered with a social network provider and represents an organization from multiple organizations. Based on the analysis, the organizations are ranked. Data about a subset of the organizations is presented, based on the ranking, through a user interface. A user selects an indicator that is associated with a particular organization of the multiple organizations. In response to the input, a subset of the representatives is identified. One or more scores that were generated for a particular representative in the subset are determined. Data about the subset of the representatives is caused to be presented through the user interface. The data identifies the one or more scores and associates the one or more scores with the particular representative.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of detecting a structural change in a molecule that is attached to a surface that is electrically conductive, wherein the method includes monitoring the phase of the electrochemical impedance at the surface, and wherein a change in the phase indicates a change in the structure of the molecule. The disclosure also relates to arrays and methods for making arrays having molecules, such as polypeptides, attached to electrically conductive surfaces, such as electrodes.

Abstract: The invention provides novel scaffold proteins for the display of peptides such as peptide aptamers. The novel scaffold proteins are modifications of Stefin A or STM (a variant of Stefin A) and are useful as scaffold proteins and as display systems.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing a discussion summary corresponding to a search query and/or for providing discussion session search results. For example, discussion data (e.g., corresponding to real-time messaging, such as a microblog discussion) may be evaluated to identify a discussion topic for a discussion sessions (e.g., a kitchen renovation topic may be assigned to a 1 hour exchange of kitchen renovation messages by a discussion group). A discussion summary of a discussion session may be provided based upon the discussion session having a discussion topic corresponding to a search query topic of a search query. The discussion summary may be provided along with other results for the query and may describe the discussion group, identifiers such as hashtags used by the discussion group, meeting dates/times, average number(s) of participants, other discussion sessions hosted by the discussion group, future discussion sessions, and/or other information.
