Patent number: 10664899Abstract: The techniques, methods, systems, and other mechanisms described herein include processes for determining if customized content should be generated, what information to include in the customized content, and when to provide the customized content. In general, a computing system determines that a user intends to travel to a physical venue. The computing system can determine if an entity associated with the physical venue has a web page. The computing system can determine various aspects of a predicted route of travel from the user's present location to the physical venue. The computing system can use location information indicating the user's current location and determine one or more routes of travel to the physical venue. The computing system can compare one or more determined aspects of the predicted route to threshold values to determine if customized content should be generated and presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Scott James Ogden, Cayden Meyer

Publication number: 20200143863Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for periphery fill and localized capacitance are described. A memory array may be fabricated with certain containers connected to provide capacitance rather than to operate as memory cells. For example, a memory cell having one or two transistors, or other switching components, and one capacitor, such as a ferroelectric or dielectric capacitor, may be electrically isolated from one or more containers sharing a common access line, and the isolated containers may be used as capacitors. The capacitors may be used for filtering in some examples. Or the capacitance may be used to boost or regulate voltage in, for example, support circuitry.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2020Publication date: May 7, 2020Inventors: Christopher Kawamura, Scott James Derner
