  • Publication number: 20240113993
    Abstract: A noise management system analyzes messages from a sender to a plurality of recipients. The noise management system prepares a message frequency of a quantity of messages sent to a unique recipient over a period of time. The noise management system sends the message frequency with a noise rank to the client device for the recipient to review.

  • Patent number: 11379798
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing content related to electronic calendar events are presented. An electronic calendar event library may be maintained. One or more calendar events that meet threshold time criteria in relation to a current time may be identified. One or more rules may be applied to the identified events to determine whether contextual information and/or actions should be surfaced in relation to those events. In some examples, an event priority score may be calculated for each of the identified events. Contextual information and/or actions associated with events with event priority scores that exceed a threshold value may be surfaced. The contextual information and/or actions may be prioritized based on the event priority scores.

  • Patent number: 10013338
    Abstract: Described are techniques for testing an application. A test script including one or more instructions is received to test an application. A user interaction with a user interface of the application is emulated. Emulating includes executing a first portion of instructions in the test script. An output is received including information displayed using the user interface in response to the user interaction. Verification processing is performed for the output. The verification processing includes executing a second portion of instructions in the test script. A first instruction in the test script references a user interface data element without specifying a complete path for the user interface data element.

  • Publication number: 20050192364
    Abstract: A method of using metallized and nonmetallized nanoscopic silicon containing agents for physical property control, radiation absorption, and in situ formation of nanoscopic glass layers on material surfaces. Because of their tailorable compatibility with polymers, metals, composites, ceramics, glasses and biological materials, nanoscopic silicon containing agents can be readily and selectively incorporated into materials at the nanometer level by direct mixing processes. Properties improved include gas and liquid barrier, stain resistance, resistance to environmental degradation, radiation absorption, adhesion, printability, time dependent mechanical and thermal properties such as heat distortion, creep, compression set, shrinkage, modulus, hardness and abrasion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, and fire resistance.
