International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 3/01

US Classification:

715751, 709224

Abstract:

Method or system for allowing a social networking system to retain users of a social networking system by identifying low-activity users who are likely to become inactive/dormant users and prompting users to initiate interactions with the low-activity users. The low-activity users are identified by monitoring activities and interactions of the users via the social networking system. If the pattern of activities and interactions satisfy one or more criteria, a computer device for providing the social networking system initiates an intervention scheme where users are induced to initiate interactions with the low-activity users. In response to the interactions, the low-activity users are likely to resume interactions via the social networking system.

Inventors:

Alexander Paul Schultz - San Francisco CA, US
Thomas Alison - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

US Classification:

705 1466

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a social-networking system accesses a social graph, identifies a first set of concept nodes associated with an application, connected to friends of a user, selects a second set of concept nodes from the first set of concept nodes based on edges connected to the concept nodes, and generates an advertisement for the application, where the advertisement includes information representing the concept nodes in the second set of concept nodes.

International Classification:

G06T 7/00
G06T 7/11

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a system for biomedical object segmentation includes one or more processors; one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored on the one or more memory modules. The machine readable instructions cause the system to perform the following when executed by the one or more processors: receive image data of one or more biological constructs; analyze the image data to generate processed image data via a data analytics module to recognize biomedical objects; and automatically annotate the processed image data to indicate a location of one or more biological objects within the one or more biological constructs.

H04L 12/58
H04L 29/06
G06Q 50/00

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a message associated with a user at an information exchange system. At least one correspondent associated with the user may be determined, based on the message. A social connection between the user and the at least one correspondent may be assessed with respect to a social-networking system. The information exchange system may provide an interface for display to the user, the interface comprising information associated with the message. If the social connection is confirmed, the interface may include social-networking information associated with the at least one correspondent. Otherwise, the interface may provide functionality to create a social connection between the user and the at least one correspondent with respect to the social-networking system.

International Classification:

G02F 1/29

Abstract:

In a liquid crystal type variable beam shaping optic, a part of a structure that forms a gap for the liquid crystals includes a surface relief micro-structure diffuser. Due to the micro-features of the diffuser, the gap is non-uniform. A voltage applied to an electrode associated with the diffuser and an electrode associated with an opposing substrate controls the orientation of uniaxial nematic liquid crystals in a material filling the non-uniform gap. For example, the index of refraction of the material may vary relative to an index of refraction of the diffuser, based on variations of the crystal orientation caused by variation of the applied voltage. The change in relative indices of refraction, in the examples, changes a focal length of the variable optic and thus the shape of a light beam optically processed through the liquid crystal optic.
