Abstract: A system and method for searching and playing multimedia content on a social network portal is disclosed. The system and method includes hosting a social network portal of a user, wherein the social network portal displays information of the user. The method further includes integrating, on the social network portal of the user, a multimedia controller. A selection or mouse-over of the multimedia controller initiates and controls the playback and selection of a multimedia item on an integrated multimedia player. The method also includes enabling a user to simultaneously navigate the social network portal and stream content via the integrated multimedia player. A user can also search for or request multimedia content via the multimedia controller and player.

Abstract: Technology is directed to a social networking application for sharing secrets anonymously. The social networking application receives a message from a user, anonymizes the message to generate a secret and shares the secret with other users. The other users cannot know who posted the secret. A message can include multimedia content such as a text, an image, an audio, a video or a combination thereof. The secrets are displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) as secret GUI components. A secret GUI component displays the secret in a particular format. In one example, a text of the secret is superimposed on an image or a background color of the secret in the secret GUI component. The secret GUI component includes GUI elements using which users can “love”/“heart”/“like” a secret and/or comment on the secret. The secret GUI component can display author-viewer relationship information or a location information of the author.

Abstract: Technology is directed to a social networking application for sharing secrets anonymously. A user can share content (“secret”) with other users of the social networking application anonymously. The other users may not know who posted the secret. A secret can include multimedia content, e.g., text or an image. Users can “love”/“heart” and/or comment on a secret. The social networking application assigns an unique avatar to each of the users who comment on a secret. In some embodiments, the avatars are assigned on random basis. An author of the secret is assigned a specific avatar. In some embodiments, authors of any of the secrets are assigned the same specific avatar. Each of the comments is displayed with an avatar assigned to the user who posted the corresponding comment. The avatars can also be assigned based on a theme, occasion, etc.

Abstract: A system for accessing content maintains a set of content selections associated with a first user. The system receives first original content from a first content source associated with a first one of the content selections associated with the first user. The system applies, to the first original content, a first rule (such as a parsing rule) that is specific to the first one of the content selections, to produce first derived content. The system changes the state of at least one component of a human-machine dialogue system (such as a text-to-act engine, a dialogue manager, or an act-to-text engine) based on the first derived content. The system may apply a second rule (such as a dialogue rule) to the first derived content to produce rule output and change the state of the human-machine dialogue system based on the rule output.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring and/or controlling the melt filling of at least one cavity of an injection molding machine, in particular, by means of a cold channel tool. The invention also monitors the time which is required for the melt to reach the sensor in the cavity and modifies the viscosity of the. melt in the event of variations and/or differentiations in said time.

Abstract: A target document having a plurality of features is summarized by collecting contextual data external to the document. On the basis of this contextual data, the features of the target document are then weighted to indicate the relative importance of that feature. This results in a weighted target document that is then summarized.
