Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to games and applications in general and in particular to computer-implemented online games, such as online role-playing games, playable by more than one person from more than one location. The game engine can dynamically determine the type of in-game asset to award to a first player and the types of in-game obstacles to present to the first player by referencing the in-game assets available to other players in the first player's social network and by referencing other game state variables.
Abstract:
Equivalent concepts expressed across multiple domains are matched and associated with a metapage generated by a social networking system. User preferences expressed on multiple domains, represented as pages in a social networking system, may be organized by concept and shared with advertisers, third-party developers, and other users of the social networking system using the metapages generated for the concepts. Aggregated social information may be presented to users of the social networking system viewing a page associated with a metapage. Information presented on external websites may be used to link pages across multiple domains with a metapage generated on the social networking system, presenting the information on other external websites associated with the metapage as links on the pages associated with the metapage. Feedback from users may be used to include or exclude pages from being associated with a generated metapage.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention improve the ability of a social networking system to determine which types of data—hereinafter referred to as “fields”—are relevant to which types of user pages. Specifically, a social networking system assigns page types to different user pages, and likewise stores information on different types of fields. By analyzing the relationships of different pages and fields, the social networking system determines which types of fields are particularly well-suited for inclusion on different types of pages. Using the learned information about page types and field types, the social networking system can better aid page administrators in specifying data to add to their pages. For example, the social networking system can recommend to administrators the addition of certain types of fields or automatically add the fields. Further, the social networking system can specialize a search for social networking system data to field types.
Abstract:
An SRAM write assist apparatus comprises a timer unit and a voltage divider. The voltage divider unit is configured to divide a voltage potential down to a lower level. The output of the voltage divider is connected to a memory cell in a write operation. The timer unit is configured to generate a pulse having a width inversely proportional to the voltage potential applied to a memory chip. Furthermore, the timer unit controls the period in which a lower voltage from the output of the voltage divider is applied to the memory cell. Moreover, external level and timing programmable signals can be used to further adjust the voltage divider's ratio and the pulse width from the timer unit. By employing the SRAM write assist apparatus, a memory chip can perform a reliable and fast write operation.

Abstract:
The method of the present invention comprising successive column chromatography processes for the purification of an anthrax protective antigen can achieve an improved purity of the anthrax protective antigen product by effectively removing impurities (e.g., cellular residual proteins in the culture solution) without the loss of anthrax protective antigen. Therefore, the method of the present invention can be advantageously used for economically producing the anthrax protective antigen on a large scale.
Abstract:
Example systems and methods related to dynamic generation of in-game assets and in-game obstacles of an online game are presented. In an example, information describing a social network of a first player of an online game is accessed, the information identifying other players of the online game. Game account information of the other players is then accessed. The game account information of the other players identifies in-game assets of the other players. At least one of an in-game asset for the first player and an in-game obstacle to affect the first player in the online game is generated based on a mathematical function that considers the in-game assets of the other player
Abstract:
A device includes a multistage filter and an elephant trap. The multistage filter has hash functions and an array. The multistage filter is operable to receive a packet associated with a candidate heavy network user and send the packet to the hash functions. The hash functions generate hash function output values corresponding to indices in the array. The elephant trap is connected to the multistage filter. The elephant trap includes a buffer and probabilistic sampling logic. The probabilistic sampling logic is operable to attempt to add information associated with the packet to the buffer a particular percentage of the time based in part on the result of the multistage filter lookup. The buffer is operable to hold information associated with the packet, counter information, and timestamp information.
Abstract:
An apparatus and methods are disclosed herein for identifying and avoiding attempts to access a defective portion of memory. Errors associated with portions of memory, such as a cache memory, are tracked over time enabling detection of both hard and erratic errors. Based on the number of errors tracked over time for a portion of memory, it is determined if the portion of memory is defective. In response to determining portion of memory is defective, the portion of memory is disabled. The portion of memory may be flushed and moved before being disable. Additionally, disabling the portion of memory may be conditioned upon determining if it is allowable to disable the portion of memory.
Abstract:
An opening structure of a portable apparatus includes a hook module and a camera module installed on a cover of the portable apparatus. The hook module includes at least one hook portion, at least one retaining portion and at least one resilient member. The camera module includes a casing, a camera lens and an axle, and a conversion component is connected to the axle. The hook portion is disposed on the retaining portion, and a resilience member is connected separately to the retaining portion and the cover, and the casing includes a camera lens and an axle installed on the casing. If the axle is rotated to produce a rotation force, the conversion component will convert the rotation force into a pushing force which will push the hook module to trigger a switch installed at the cover and turn on the portable hook module while the cover is being opened.
