  • Patent number: 11776013
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and system that utilize a programmed content predictor to dynamically select electronic publishing content. In particular, the content predictor applies a selection model to select content for one or more selected webpages presented during an electronic transaction. The selection model utilizes a set of one or more machine learning models to select content based on calculated quality scores. The nature of the quality scores determined by the quality score model depend on the particular application. The predictor generates and populates a permutation quality table based on a set of selected content items and page variant, wherein the page variant defines locations of content positions within a webpage. The predictor then consumes the selection model to select a best permutation of content item-content position combinations to be returned for display on a webpage.

  • Patent number: 11726349
    Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating the speed of movement of virtual objects presented by a wearable system are described. The wearable system may present three-dimensional (3D) virtual content that moves, e.g., laterally across the user's field of view and/or in perceived depth from the user. The speed of the movement may follow the profile of an S-curve, with a gradual increase to a maximum speed, and a subsequent gradual decrease in speed until an end point of the movement is reached. The decrease in speed may be more gradual than the increase in speed. This speed curve may be utilized in the movement of virtual objections for eye-tracking calibration. The wearable system may track the position of a virtual object (an eye-tracking target) which moves with a speed following the S-curve. This speed curve allows for rapid movement of the eye-tracking target, while providing a comfortable viewing experience and high accuracy in determining the initial and final positions of the eye as it tracks the target.

  • Publication number: 20230152597
    Abstract: A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a given user moves around or as the HMD slips or otherwise becomes displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes by determining whether features of the eye are at certain vertical positions relative to the HMD. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, and provides feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.

  • Patent number: 11635988
    Abstract: A computing device determines an optimal number of threads for a computer task. Execution of a computing task is controlled in a computing environment based on each task configuration included in a plurality of task configurations to determine an execution runtime value for each task configuration. An optimal number of threads value is determined for each set of task configurations having common values for a task parameter value, a dataset indicator, and a hardware indicator. The optimal number of threads value is an extremum value of an execution parameter value as a function of a number of threads value. A dataset parameter value is determined for a dataset. A hardware parameter value is determined as a characteristic of each distinct executing computing device in the computing environment. The optimal number of threads value for each set of task configurations is stored in a performance dataset in association with the common values.

  • Publication number: 20230108054
    Abstract: This application discloses a packet forwarding method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining packet configuration information, where the packet configuration information includes a packet parsing rule; parsing a received target packet based on the packet configuration information to obtain a target packet feature; obtaining a packet forwarding rule corresponding to the target packet based on the target packet feature; and forwarding the target packet according to the packet forwarding rule corresponding to the target packet. Because packet features of different service data are different, the different service data is distinguished based on the different packet features, and is forwarded according to different forwarding rules. This implements forwarding control of the different service data, improves service data forwarding efficiency and adjustment precision, and avoids low service data transmission efficiency and incapability of splitting the different service data.
