  • Publication number: 20230341995
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive a user identifier associated with a user account, and may identify account identifiers associated with the user account. The system may obtain account information associated with the account identifiers, and may determine priority levels for the account identifiers based on the account information. A primary account identifier may be associated with a highest priority level. The system may transmit a first set of user interface (UI) data indicating account UI elements, corresponding to the account identifiers, and an order of the account UI elements based on the priority levels. A primary account UI element, corresponding to the primary account identifier, may be arranged first in the order. The first set of UI data may indicate a first set of the account information to be visually presented on the account UI elements and associated with the account identifiers corresponding to the account UI elements.

  • Publication number: 20230341996
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may transmit a first set of user interface (UI) data indicating a UI having a first interaction element. The system may receive interaction data indicating a user interaction with the first interaction element. The system may determine one or more suggestions to provide based on one or more factors related to account information associated with a user account. The system may transmit a second set of UI data associated with a UI element and that may indicate a first portion, extending downward from a top of a display of the user device, that may include one or more second interaction elements corresponding to the suggestions, and a second portion extending upward from a bottom of the display and including a virtual keyboard. An intermediate portion of the UI may be exposed through a gap between the first and second portions of the UI element.

  • Publication number: 20230266858
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may identify one or more account identifiers associated with a user account and corresponding to one or more account types. The system may determine an action to perform if account information associated with the user account or with a particular account identifier satisfies a condition. The system may transmit, to a user device, user interface (UI) data associated with an icon-based UI element. The UI data indicates a rectangular-shaped element, of the icon-based UI element, associated with the particular account identifier, and an interactable icon, of the icon-based UI element, positioned within a bottom portion of the rectangular-shaped element. The interactable icon is representative of the action. The system may include receiving, from the user device, interaction data indicating an interaction, by a user of the user device, with the interactable icon. The system may perform the action based on receiving the interaction data.

  • Publication number: 20230259258
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may identify first and second user identifiers associated with first and second users, respectively. The system may determine first and second totals corresponding to the first and second user identifiers. The system may determine a ratio of the first total to the second total or a proportion of the first or second total relative to a joint total that is a sum of the first and second totals. The system may transmit user interface (UI) data associated with a UI element. The UI data indicates first and second user portions corresponding to the first and second users, and a connecting portion that connects the first and second user portions. Sizes of the first and second user portions are based on the ratio, of the first to second total, or the proportion of the first or second total relative to the joint total.

  • Patent number: 11356626
    Abstract: An imaging device includes a photodiode array. The photodiodes include a first set of photodiodes configured as image sensing photodiodes and a second set of photodiodes configured as phase detection auto focus (PDAF) photodiodes. The PDAF photodiodes are arranged in at least pairs in neighboring columns and are interspersed among the image sensing photodiodes. Transfer transistors are coupled to corresponding photodiodes. The transfer transistors coupled to the image sensing photodiodes included in an active row of are controlled in response to a first transfer control signal or a second transfer control signal that control all of the image sensing photodiodes of the active row. A transfer transistor is coupled to one of a pair of the PDAF photodiodes of the active row. The first transfer transistor is controlled in response to a first PDAF control signal that is independent of the first or second transfer control signals.

  • Publication number: 20210231574
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a sample includes introducing the sample into a vessel including a cation-exchange resin, where the cation-exchange resin has a high affinity to one or more interferent species in the sample, directing the sample through the cation-exchange resin to thereby capture one or more interference species in the cation-exchange resin to purify the sample, and releasing the purified sample from the vessel. Additionally, a method for analyzing a sample includes receiving an image depicting a diagnostic test region and a color reference chart, converting a test region image portion of the image to an analytical color space, determining first and second coordinate values characterizing the test region image portion in the analytical color space, and providing a quantitative measurement of an analyte of interest in the sample based on the first and/or second coordinate values and a predictive formula based on the color reference chart.

  • Patent number: 10281348
    Abstract: An optical fiber sensor can be used to measure pressure with high sensitivity and fine resolution. As a cavity at the end of the sensor expands or contracts, the spectrum of a beam reflected from the end of fiber shifts, producing a change linked to pressure exerted on the sensor. Novel aspects of the present inventive sensor include the direct bonding of a silica thin film diaphragm to the optical fiber with localized or confined heating and a uniform thickness of the diaphragm. The resulting sensor has a diameter that matches the diameter of the optical fiber. Because the sensor is all silica, it does not suffer from temperature-induced error. In addition, the sensor can be very sensitive because the diaphragm can be very thin; it can also make highly repeatable measurements due to its very uniform thickness.

  • Patent number: 9587976
    Abstract: A photoacoustic transducer, such as a photoacoustic probe includes an optical fiber, diaphragm, at the optical fiber, whereby the optical fiber and diaphragm define a cavity, and an energy absorption film at the optical fiber, whereby an activating laser directed through the optical fiber can excite the energy absorption film to thereby generate an acoustic wave that, upon reflection upon a remote surface, can deflect the diaphragm and modify reflection of a detecting laser also directed through the optical fiber. A method of detecting an acoustic wave includes directing an activating laser through an optical fiber to an energy absorption film at the optical fiber, directing a detecting laser through the optical fiber and cavity to the diaphragm at the optical fiber, and measuring an interference pattern generated at least in part by reflection of the detecting laser from a surface of the diaphragm.
