  • Publication number: 20240118783
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for accessing modes of operation and techniques for providing an alarm interface for electronic devices. In some embodiments, a device detects that a battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in a predefined orientation. In accordance with the detection that the battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in the predefined orientation, the device activates a predefined mode of operation. In some embodiments, a device displays a first user interface object in a first color, and, at a predetermined time, the device displays the first user interface object in a second color and displays an option for dismissing an alarm, wherein the option for dismissing is displayed as a second user interface object located at a portion of a display of the device proximate to a hardware button of the device.

  • Patent number: 11922004
    Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.

  • Patent number: 11915387
    Abstract: Implementations relate to crop yield prediction at the field- and pixel-level. In various implementations, a first temporal sequence of high-elevation digital images may be obtained that capture a first geographic area and are acquired over a first predetermined time interval while the first geographic area includes a particular crop. A first plurality of other data points may also be obtained that influence a ground truth crop yield of the first geographic area after the first predetermined time interval. The first plurality of other data points may be grouped into temporal chunks corresponding temporally with respective images of the first temporal sequence. The first temporal sequence and the temporal chunks of the first plurality of other data points may be applied, e.g., iteratively, as input across a machine learning model to estimate a crop yield of the first geographic area at the end of the first predetermined time interval.

  • Patent number: 11061588
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving a request to add a generic volume entry to a generic volume element list, storing the generic volume entry in the generic volume element list in a SMS configuration in a SCDS, and building a volume list definition of the SMS configuration. A unit control block chain is parsed for determining additional specific volumes. It is determined whether a specific volume found in the parsing was not used in the building. In response to a determination that the specific volume found in the parsing was not used in the building, it is determined, for the specific volume found in the parsing, whether at least one predetermined condition is met. The specific volume found in the parsing is added to the volume list definition in response to a determination that the at least one predetermined condition is met.

  • Patent number: 10908892
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating and deploying code files compiled on build machines. Source code is maintained at a deployment system. Commands are sent to build machines to compile the source code into object code. The build machines have different operating systems to compile the object code. The deployment system stores the object code for each build machine in an object code file directory to provide executable object code for an operating system installed at the build machine. Different object code file directories are maintained for the object code compiled by the build machines having different operating systems. Access is provided to the object code in the object code file directories to run-time machines. Each run-time machine accesses the object code file directory in the deployment system having the object code compiled for an operating system version deployed on the run-time machine.

  • Publication number: 20070227762
    Abstract: A multilayer circuit board has a first insulating layer, a first grounding grid layer and a transmission layer. The first grounding grid layer is formed below the bottom surface of the first insulating layer and has multiple grids. The grids are arranged in an array pattern and are made of metal, and each grid has a centerline and a shape. Centerlines of adjacent grids are separated by a first distance. The transmission layer is formed on the top surface of the first insulating layer and has at least one transmission line and a datum line. The datum line corresponds to the centerline of one of the grids and is separated from the transmission line by a second distance. The second distance can be quarters of the first distance. Since the characteristic impedance is controlled by varying the second distance, different second distance results in different characteristic impedance.
