  • Publication number: 20260064785
    Abstract: Similarity sensitive diversity is utilized to measure variation in a distribution of item listings along one or more categories. A similarity between category vectors of each category pair in a set of categories is determined and utilized to generate a pairwise similarity matrix. The pairwise similarity matrix may be pruned to remove category pairs below a threshold. Utilizing the pairwise similarity matrix, similarity sensitive diversity between one or more items of a plurality of items may be determined. In various aspects, the similarity sensitive diversity may be utilized to: generate a list of relevant items in an appropriate distribution, suggest refinements of a search query; generate navigation modules; categorize or recategorize the plurality of items; or generate autosuggestions.

  • Publication number: 20260064343
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for processing picture modes of a sink device, such as a monitor, using a source device, such as a personal computer or a gaming system. Given picture mode parameters related to picture-mode processing in an EDID of the sink device, such as brightness, saturation, and the white point, picture-mode-related processing for a sink device may be performed by the source device, thus enabling new display-related features without increasing the cost of the sink device.

  • Patent number: 12348051
    Abstract: A capacitive wireless power transfer coupler, includes: a coupler transmitting side, including two electrode plates arranged in a same plane, a shielding plate parallel to the electrode plates, and a filling dielectric between each of the electrode plates and the shielding plate; a coupler receiving side, having a same structure as the coupler transmitting side. A side provided with the electrode plates of the coupler transmitting side faces a side provided with the electrode plates of the coupler receiving side, and power transfer is achieved between the two sides through a transfer dielectric, where a relative dielectric constant of the filling dielectric is less than a relative dielectric constant of the transfer dielectric. The issues of increased coupler volume, limited improvement in the capacitive coupling coefficient, and low efficiency of power transfer of the existing capacitive coupler, can be solved.

  • Patent number: 12173332
    Abstract: A new mutant of D-amino acid transaminase, based on supercomputing-assisted technology, belongs to the fields of computational biology, computer-aided design, and enzyme engineering technology, and specifically relates to mutants of D-amino acid transaminase obtained based on supercomputing-assisted technology and applications thereof. Compared to the wild-type enzyme, the aforementioned mutant of D-amino acid transaminase exhibits a half-life (t1/2) of over 12 hours at 40° C., while it is only 8.8 minutes for the wild-type D-amino acid transaminase. The half-inactivation temperature (T5015) of the mutant is 45.3° C., approximately 5.4° C. higher than that of the wild-type D-amino acid transaminase. This substantially enhances its thermal stability, enzymatic activity, etc., effectively broadening its application fields and scope. The mutant has a wide range of industrial applications and thus holds substantial practical value.
