  • Publication number: 20250148024
    Abstract: Implementations relate to a system for hosting independent content items anchored to another online resource. The independent content items are themselves online resources. Implementations also relate to enhancing search results by incorporating independent content items anchored to a resource identified in the search result page. An example method involves identifying resources to be included in search results for a query, determining that independent content items are associated with a resource, and adding an independent content item summary control to the search result for the resource. This control enables users to access an independent content feed interface for further exploration of the independent content items anchored to the resource. The search result page, enriched with these independent content item overview, is then delivered to the user's device.

  • Patent number: 12266484
    Abstract: A force-sensitive key module and a force-sensitive switch structure are provided. The force-sensitive switch structure includes a first protective layer, a second protective layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a force-sensitive layer. The first protective layer receives a pressing force. The second conductive layer is aligned with the first conductive layer. The force-sensitive layer is installed on the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer. When the first protective layer receives the pressing force, an electric connection between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer is established, and the force-sensitive layer generates an analog sensing signal in response to the pressing force. When a magnitude of the pressing force is changed, the analog sensing signal is correspondingly changed according to an impedance change of the force-sensitive layer.

Each switch unit in the first matrix circuit is an ink-type force sensing switch. A resistance of the ink-type force sensing switch is variable according to a pressing mode of a keypress action. An electrical connection path is formed between the ink-type force sensing switch and the corresponding bias resistor of the second bias resistor group. When the ink-type force sensing switch is electrically conducted, a divided sensing voltage is generated by the electrical connection path, and the controller generates a corresponding key control instruction according to a level of the divided sensing voltage. Furthermore, the cooperation of the first matrix circuit and the first bias resistor group can achieve a ghost key preventing function.

  • Patent number: 12070093
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating custom garment patterns for producing clothing sized to fit any newly input human body representation. A set of reference sample bodies may be selected for which custom designed garment patterns are then obtained. Once reference patterns are obtained, a custom garment pattern for a particular new body may be automatically created by blending two or more of the reference patterns. For example, the neighboring reference bodies to the new body may be identified within a low-dimensional embedding space, and interpolation of garment parameters for the previously designed garment patterns for these reference bodies may be performed to produce a custom garment pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240229087
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for two-phase partitioning production of a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) by dry anaerobic digestion. In the present disclosure, due to a slow heat transfer of the dry anaerobic digestion, a same dry anaerobic digestion device is naturally divided into two phases, and the MCFA is synthesized while producing electron acceptors and electron donors in the same dry anaerobic digestion device. Meanwhile, the dry anaerobic digestion device is provided with a high-efficiency decomposing microbial inoculant on an upper part and inoculated with sludge having a carbon chain extension function on a lower part. In this way, a material residence time is regulated, and cycles of hydrolytic acidification and carbon chain extension are shortened, thereby achieving the high-value conversion of agricultural waste while increasing a conversion rate of organic acids in the dry anaerobic digestion.
