  • Patent number: 12289360
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, machine-readable mediums, and devices for providing an aggregated view of reactions to content across multiple sharing locations of a network-based content sharing service and in some examples across multiple sharing locations of multiple network-based content sharing services. The system may track or determine reactions across different sharing locations of a single content sharing service (such as a unified communication service) or across multiple services. In some examples, only reactions to the content that are from sharing locations accessible by a particular user are aggregated and displayed to the particular user. In other examples, reactions may be viewable from all sources regardless of access by a user.

  • Publication number: 20250125032
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to automatically generate an immersive digital prehabilitation package (IDPP) to a user device based on a dynamically determined fitness metric associated with the user device. In an illustrative example, an adaptive personalized prehabilitation system (APPS) may, in response to an activation signal, retrieve a fitness metric and a prehabilitation experience associated with a user associated with the user device. The APPS, for example, may determine a mental fitness and a physical fitness of the user based on the fitness metric. For example, the APPS may adaptively generate a target state based on the fitness of the user and the prehabilitation experience, and the current state of the user. The APPS, for example, may generate the IDPP configured to induce the user to progress from a current state to the adaptive target state. Various embodiments may advantageously increase prehabilitation efficiency and/or reduce post-experience interventions.

  • Publication number: 20240427738
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques enable users to receive visits from other users in a desktop environment and initiate communication sessions using an input gesture that associates a virtual representation of a user with a file. In response to receiving a gesture associating an avatar into a file, the system performs two functions: it selects the file for sharing and automatically starts a communication session with appropriate permissions between a user of the avatar and a user performing the gesture. The user can additionally grant other users' permission to edit the shared file which is reflected in an update to each user's permission data. In this way, users can communicate and collaborate directly from the social space of a desktop without opening a communication application.

  • Patent number: 12151285
    Abstract: Systems and methods may utilize magnetic rotors to heat molten metal in the corner regions of a mold during casting (e.g., casting of an ingot, billet, or slab). The magnetic rotors are positioned adjacent to the corners of the mold and heat the molten metal in the corner region to increase the temperature of the molten metal adjacent the corners. The increased temperature of the molten metal in the mold corners can prevent intermetallics from forming in the molten metal or otherwise reduce such formation.

  • Patent number: 12155613
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques provide a messaging system with a user interface (UI) having a specific arrangement of suggested expressive illustrations, such as emojis. In some examples, a system analyzes a received emoji and provides a suggested list of emojis for a response. The suggested emojis are arranged in a way that candidate emojis capable of generating animation effects in combination with the received emoji, are listed higher in ranking, e.g., preceding, over other candidate emojis that cannot generate animation effects in combination with the received emoji. The system can rank individual emojis, or other types of graphical expressions, depending on whether a candidate emoji is capable of generating animated effects with the received emoji. In some embodiments, candidate emojis that are capable of generating animated effects precede candidate emojis that are incapable of generating animated effects.

  • Patent number: 12093219
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable users to receive visits from other users in a desktop environment and initiate communication sessions using a drag and drop gesture input to move virtual representations or avatars of other users. For instance, by dragging and dropping an avatar into a file, the user can select the file for sharing and the system can automatically grant appropriate permissions to various users who are invited by the gesture input. The user can additionally grant other users' permission to edit the shared file which is reflected in an update to each user's permission data. In this way, users can communicate and collaborate directly form the social space of a desktop without opening a communication application. Other features include suggestions for files to share based on the context of a conversation, presenting contextual information alongside each user's avatar and suggesting other shared spaces to explore.

  • Publication number: 20240238866
    Abstract: Grain size of a deliverable metal product can be improved by pre-setting recrystallization-suppressing dispersoids during casting. The outer regions of a direct chill cast embryonic ingot can undergo reheating before casting is complete. Through unique wiper placement and/or other reheating techniques, the temperature of the ingot can be permitted to reheat (e.g., up to approximately 410° C. to approximately 420° C.), allowing dispersoids to form. Stirring and/or agitation of the molten sump can facilitate formation of a deeper sump and desirably fine grain size as-cast. The formation of dispersoids during and/or immediately after casting can pin the grain boundaries at the desirably fine grain size, encouraging the same grain sizes even after a later recrystallization and/or solutionizing step.
