  • Patent number: 11928418
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for text style suggestions and/or text emphasis suggestions. In an example embodiment, an electronic design application provides a text style suggestion tool that generates text style suggestions to stylize a selected text element based on the context of the design. A text emphasis tool allows a user to select a text element and generate text emphasis suggestions for which words should be emphasized with a different text styling. Various interaction elements allow the user to iterate through the suggestions. For example, a set of style suggestions may be mapped to successive rotational increments around a style wheel, and as the user rotates through the positions on the style wheel, a corresponding text style suggestion is previewed and/or applied.

  • Patent number: 11902436
    Abstract: A cryptographic key management service receives a request, associated with a principal, to use a cryptographic key to perform a cryptographic operation. In response to the request, the service determines whether a rate limit specific to the principal is associated with the cryptographic key. If the rate limit is associated with the cryptographic key, the service generates a response to the request that conforms to the rate limit. The service provides the response in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20230420076
    Abstract: A method and system for typing major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles. The method includes receiving a set of exon-resolution identifiers for an allele pair associated with an MHC gene. An exon-resolution identifier of the set of exon-resolution identifiers for a corresponding allele of the allele pair describes an allele group, a specific allele protein, and exon region information for the corresponding allele. A plurality of reads is received for a sample. For each exon-resolution identifier of the set of exon-resolution identifiers, a set of intron-resolution identifiers is identified to form a plurality of intron-resolution candidate identifiers. An intron-resolution identifier of the set of intron-resolution identifiers for the corresponding allele describes the allele group, the specific allele protein, the exon region information, and intron region information for the corresponding allele.

  • Patent number: 11769529
    Abstract: A processing device provides, on a mobile device, a storyline content user interface (UI) for adding video content to a storyline, the storyline content UI having a first area allowing video playback, a second area including visual representations of video clips of one or more storylines, and a third area including a first UI element to record video content. In response to a user activation of the first UI element, the processing device causes recording of a new video clip to be initiated, determines that a duration of the new video clip satisfies a predetermined threshold, creates a visual representation of the new video clip, associates the new video clip with an additional storyline, and adds the visual representation of the new video clip to the second area. In response to a user selection of the visual representation of the new video clip in the second area of the storyline content UI, the processing device causes the new video clip to be associated with the storyline.

  • Publication number: 20230283482
    Abstract: A request to add tags (e.g., labels, key-value pairs, or metadata) to resources can be digitally signed by the entity making the request, such that the source can be verified and an authorization determination made for each tag. For a request involving multiple services (or entities) that can each add tags, any tag added by a service can be included in the request and digitally signed by that service. Each service processing the request can also digitally sign the request before forwarding, so that each service signs a version of the request, which includes elements signed by other services earlier in the request chain. When the request is received to a tagging service, the service ensures that every tag was digitally signed by the appropriate authorized entity or service, and validates the signatures to ensure that no data was modified or omitted, before adding the tags to the designated resource(s).

  • Patent number: 11742504
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a fuel cell, an inlet valve, a purge valve, and a controller. The fuel cell has an anode side configured to receive hydrogen. The inlet valve is configured to open to deliver the hydrogen to the anode side. The purge valve is configured to open to purge water and nitrogen from the anode side. The controller is programmed to, operate the inlet valve to inject hydrogen into the anode side via opening the inlet valve followed by closing the inlet valve. The controller is further programmed to, in response to a concentration of the hydrogen in the anode side being less than threshold, open the purge valve to purge water and nitrogen from the anode side.

  • Publication number: 20230268525
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a vehicle with a traction battery and a fuel cell system, and a controller programmed to purge the fuel cell system by flowing air through it to remove moisture from the fuel cell system. The controller is configured to initiate the purge based on a distance of the vehicle from a destination, a state of charge of the traction battery, and ambient temperature conditions at the destination. The freeze preparation process can be initiated when the vehicle is approaching its destination and can be predicted using connectivity and communication with off-board sources.
