Methods and systems are provided for determining the category of a software application utilizing machine learning (ML) and knowledge graph techniques, and for controlling access to the application by a user based on the category and configured time restrictions for the user. The system includes a feature set extractor and a category predictor with a trained ML model. The trained ML model generates the category of the application based on a feature(s) of the application. The generated category is indicated in a data structure. An access request handler receives a request related to access to the application from a user device. A category determiner determines the category of the application from the data structure. A time usage manager determines an available time usage for the category and the specified user. The access arbiter responds to the request from the user device with the available time usage.

A computer-implemented technique is described herein for defining and applying constraints that regulate a supervisee's interaction with applications. In one implementation, the technique provides a user interface presentation to a supervisor that lists a set of applications that run on plural application execution platforms. The user interface presentation also allows the supervisor to set platform-agnostic constraint information for any identified application. The platform-agnostic constraint information, once set for an application, constrains interaction by a supervisee with all versions of that same application. That is, the constraint information is said to be agnostic with respect to platform in the sense that it applies to a variety of application execution platforms that run the application. In one example, the platform-agnostic constraint information specifies a permitted amount of an activity that the supervisee is permitted to perform across all versions of an application.

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for efficiently organizing images in a display. A size of an image is scaled by an image scale factor, while an aspect ratio for the image is maintained, where the image scale factor comprises a combination of a first scale distance and a second scale distance. The scaled image is filled into a first display line, if the size of the scaled image is not greater than an amount of display space remaining in the first display line; otherwise the scaled image is filled into a second display line. The image is expanded to mitigate white space in the display after the scaling, while maintaining the image's aspect ratio. This can be performed for a collection of images presented on a display to provide an enhanced user experience.

Techniques are generally described related to a method and system for treating an injury with a bone screw. One example bone screw may be configured to fracture at a pre-selected frangible location so that the point of failure is not in an inaccessible location, e.g., deeply embedded below the surface of a treated bone. The bone screw may further include a material disposed over the frangible location that is designed to temporarily strengthen the screw and selected to be absorbed by the body over a period of time after installation of the screw in the bone. One example bone screw may include an unthreaded portion that is configured to facilitate removal of an embedded screw fragment from a bone in the event that the screw fails in vivo.

A rod system includes two rods each with a head and a shaft, two elastic members each fitted around one shaft against one head, and a case defining a first inner portion, a second inner portion, and a third inner portion in communication with the first and the second inner portions. A first rod with a first elastic member is seated in the first inner portion so the first elastic member abuts the bottom of first inner portion and the first head protrudes into the third inner portion. A second rod and a second elastic member is seated in the second portion so the second elastic member abuts the bottom of the second inner portion and the second head protrudes into the third inner portion and abuts the first head.
