Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in part, to a system for inferring user interest in new products based on a history of product purchases. In particular, an interest inference system can monitor a plurality of purchases by users and identify product attributes and user attributes from information associated with the purchases. The interest inference system can further determine correlations between product attributes and user attributes. Based on the correlations, the interest inference system can identify users that are likely to be interested in a new product even if no past marketing data is available for the new product.

Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to a manufacturing method of connector which comprises the following steps. The first step is to provide a substrate layer and forming a first metal layer on the substrate layer. The next step is to pattern the first metal layer to form a wiring layer. The next step is to form a dielectric layer on the wiring layer, wherein the dielectric layer is formed with at least one via hole to partially expose the wiring layer and a conductive structure arranged on the inner wall of the at least one via hole and electrically connected to the wiring layer. The next step is to form a first protective layer on the dielectric layer and at least one cantilever structure between the first protective layer and the dielectric layer.

Abstract: An online system receives a plurality of business rules from a third party system, each of which includes one or more conditions for associating a user of the online system with an audience group. The online system generates a decision tree including the business rules. Contextual information describing an interaction between a user of an online system and content of the third party system is received from a client device of the user. The online system determines, using the decision tree, one or more audience groups associated with the user based on a portion of the received contextual information. An advertisement is selected for presentation to the user based on the one or more audience groups associated with the user, and the selected advertisement is provided to the client device of the user.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base and an elastic terminal. The base has a recess. The elastic terminal is connected to the base and extends to the recess. The elastic terminal has a fixed end and a free end, the fixed end is connected to the base, and the free end is located at the recess and is curved. When the contact moves towards the recess, the contact is capable of pushing the contact protrusion to bend towards the bottom of the recess so that the free end leans against the bottom of the recess. The electrical connector may further include a contact protrusion connected to the elastic terminal. When the contact moves towards the recess, the contact is capable of pushing the contact protrusion to make the elastic terminal bend towards the bottom portion of the recess so that the free end leans against the bottom of the recess.

Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to a connector including a wiring layer, a dielectric layer, a conductive structure, a first protective layer and at least one cantilever structure. The dielectric layer is disposed on the wiring layer, wherein the dielectric layer has at least one via hole to partially expose the wiring layer. The conductive structure is disposed on the inner wall of the at least one via hole of the dielectric layer and electrically connected to the wiring layer. The first protective layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. The cantilever structure is disposed between the first protective layer and the dielectric layer, wherein the at least one cantilever structure is electrically connected to the wiring layer via the conductive structure.

Abstract: An online system receives one or more business rules associated with a third party system that associates online system users with an audience group based on characteristics of the user. When an online system user interacts with content provided by the third party system via a client device, contextual information describing the interaction is communicated from the client device to the online system. By applying one or more business rules to the contextual information, the online system associates the user with one or more audience groups. The online system determines that the user is eligible to be presented with the advertisement based at least in part on the one or more audience groups associated with the user and the one or more of the audience groups specified by the advertiser associated with the advertisement. And if eligible, the online system provides the advertisement to the client device for presentation.

Abstract: A user's context is determined based on the wireless network to which the user is connected. Targeted information, based on the determined context, is then delivered to the user. A centralized mechanism associates identifiers of wireless access points to one or more providers, such as retail establishments, that have set up those access points and have been registered by the centralized mechanism. The providers also provide targeted information that they wish to have delivered to users whose context indicates that they are in or near that provider's store. The centralized mechanism further has information associating the wireless computing device with contact information that can be utilized to deliver targeted information. The targeted information can be delivered to the user via the wireless network, a cellular network or through other communicational mechanisms. The provider, or retail establishment, can also be informed of the presence of the user near its premises.

Abstract: Managing rogue devices in a network through a network backhaul. A rogue device is detected in a network and a rogue device message that includes the rogue device is sent to a plurality of switches in a backhaul of the network. The rogue device is added into a rogue monitor table. Whether the rogue device is In-Net or Out-Of-Net is determined using forwarding tables of the plurality of switches in the backhaul of the network and the rogue monitor table. Mitigation is performed using a nearest switch to the rogue device of the plurality of switches in the backhaul of the network if it is determined that the rogue device is In-Net.

Abstract: Authenticating a client device coupled to an authenticator network device for a network. A service request is received from the client device at the authenticator network device. User credentials, including a user ID, a user key, and a nonce for a user are received at the authenticator network device. A token is generated using the received user credentials. The service request is modified to include the token and a user ID parameter that is the user ID to generate a modified service request. The modified service request is used to provide single sign-on access to a service that is the subject of the service request.
