  • Patent number: 11973806
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to automatically altering a displayed user interface for an event. A server computer system may cause, via a conferencing service, display of a user interface for an event having a group of users accessing the conferencing service via a plurality of user devices, the displayed interface including an indication of a video feed of a user in the group of users that is currently active. The system may store, in a database, data for the event, including content of audio and video feeds of users in the event. The system may analyze a set of characteristics included in the content of the audio and video feeds. The system may alter, while the indication of the video feed of the user is being displayed, aspects of the displayed user interface other than the indication, where the altering is performed based on the analyzing.

  • Publication number: 20240097924
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically executing scripts for event in response to user activity within the event. A server executing a video conferencing service, receives meeting scheduling information and a set of user-specified scripting information from a user requesting to generate an event. In response to receiving a request from user device to access the event, the server causes display of an event interface to the device, the displayed interface including indications of sub-groups of a group of users accessing the conferencing service via a plurality of user devices and an indication of a video feed of a user in the group of users that is currently active. In response to one or more triggers corresponding to the event, one or more scripts are executed for the event, where executing the one or more scripts includes altering the displayed interface.

  • Publication number: 20230358389
    Abstract: A system can configure a luminaire for providing illumination of a selected color temperature, a selected lumen output, or a selected photometric distribution. The luminaire can comprise at least two light sources that have different illumination characteristics, for example different color temperatures, different lumen outputs, or different photometric distributions. The system can configure the luminaire to operate a first of the two light sources, a second of the two light sources, or both of the light sources based on an input. When the luminaire is configured to operate both of the light sources, the luminaire can produce illumination having a color temperature, a lumen output, or a photometric distribution that is different than either of the two light sources.

  • Publication number: 20210346617
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method for vaporizing a product of a plurality of different products including receiving, by a processor of a vaporizing device, a desired dosage amount that is indicative of an amount of a compound to release during one or more inhalation events. The method includes determining, by the processor, an occurrence of a current inhalation event and during the current inhalation event determining, by the processor, an inhalation pressure being applied to a container that contains the product; determining, by the processor, a predicted dosage that is indicative of a predicted amount of the compound that has been released in the vapor during the current inhalation event based on the inhalation pressure; and selectively adjusting, by the processor, a vaporizing temperature being applied to the product by the vaporizer based on the desired dosage and the predicted dosage.

  • Publication number: 20210231661
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of screening a subject for a proliferative disease risk factor which comprises detecting the presence or absence of target cells. The presence of target cells in the subject indicates the subject is at increased risk of developing a proliferative disease or recurrence of a previously treated proliferative disease and defines a new patient subgroup susceptible for treatment with selected anti-proliferative compounds. Methods of screening compounds for the treatment of proliferative diseases based on the presence of target cells and the expression of certain biomarkers by said target cells are also disclosed, along with appropriate compounds and their use in methods of treating such diseases.
