  • Publication number: 20240004903
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for determining (and performing) system actions for particular users in response to real-time events based on the real-time event, an attribute of a user profile, and a journey state of the particular user on an experience journey. More specifically, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems respond in real-time utilizing both real-time data and batch data from a variety of disparate computing systems. To illustrate, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems detect a real-time event and identify an attribute of a user profile corresponding to the real-time event. In proximity to detecting the real-time event, the disclosed systems identify a journey state for the user profile along an experience journey. Based on the real-time event, the attribute of the user profile, and the journey state, the disclosed systems can dynamically determine system action.

  • Publication number: 20230112661
    Abstract: Multilayer metallo-dielectric energy control coatings are disclosed in which one or more layers are formed from a hydrogenated metal nitride dielectric, which may be hydrogenated during or after dielectric deposition. Properties of the multilayer coating may be configured by appropriately tuning the hydrogen concentration (and/or the spatial profile thereof) in one or more hydrogenated metal nitride dielectric layers. One or more metal layers of the multilayer coating may be formed on a hydrogenated nitride dielectric layer, thereby facilitating adhesion of the metal with a low percolation threshold and enabling the formation of thin metal layers that exhibit substantial transparency in the visible spectrum. Optical properties of the coating may be tuned through modulation of metal-dielectric interface roughness and dispersion of metal nanoparticles in the dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 8386947
    Abstract: An interface framework enables dynamic generation of a user interface for browsing online media content. The interface can be modified based on changing one or more configuration or data files rather than making changes to code. The files contain interface content, interface configuration parameters and content category information. The framework retrieves a collection of content corresponding to a category, configures the interface based on a set of parameters and the retrieved content, and provides the interface to a remote device. When the files used to generate the interface are modified, the interface provided by the framework thereafter is changed. As a result, the interface may be changed without modifying or adding any code or markup within the framework.
