  • Patent number: 9979777
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a stream of content includes a content stream module that generates a model based on user input and/or prior activities using heterogeneous data sources. The heterogeneous data sources include search, entertainment, social activity and activity on third-party sites. The content stream module retrieves candidate content items that have interests that are similar to the user. The candidate content items are compared to the model and scored based upon interestingness of the content item to the user. The content stream module generates the stream of content from the candidate content items.

  • Patent number: 9858275
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a real-time stream of content from heterogeneous data sources and a real-time index. The heterogeneous data sources include search, entertainment, social activity and activity on third-party sites. A fetching unit retrieves recent content that is indexed in the real-time index according to keywords. A model generation engine generates a model based on user activities. The mixer compares candidate content items from the heterogeneous data sources and the real-time index to the model to generate scores for each item and generates a stream of content based on the scores.

  • Patent number: 8749214
    Abstract: A power circuit includes a control unit, a logic control circuit, a first driver amplifier, a second driver amplifier and a logic determination circuit. The control unit is used to output a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal and an enable (EN) signal. The logic control circuit receives the PWM signal and the EN signal, and outputs a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal. The first driver amplifier receives the first voltage signal, and outputs a first gate (UGATE) drive signal. The second driver amplifier receives the second voltage signal, and outputs a second gate (LGATE) drive signal. The logic determination circuit receives the PWM signal and the first and second gate drive signals. When the PWM signal and the first and second gate drive signals meet an abnormal logical relation, the logic determination circuit disables the logic control circuit.

  • Publication number: 20140012671
    Abstract: A method of providing targeted online advertisement includes receiving a request for an ad impression to be provided to a user in a network environment. The request includes a first content and a second content. The method also includes, using a processor, determining a context of the first content and a context of the second content, determining a correlation between the context of the first content and the context of the second content, and identifying a plurality of ads as candidates for consideration. The method further includes, using the processor, ranking the plurality of identified ads, selecting an ad among the plurality of identified ads based at least in part on a result of the ranking, and providing the selected ad as the ad impression to be displayed to the user in response to receiving the request.

  • Publication number: 20110007434
    Abstract: The invention discloses an over current protecting device and the method thereof. The over current protecting device is adapted to a DC-DC converter. A voltage output end of the DC-DC converter may generate an output current and transmit the output current to a load on a motherboard via a power copper layer on the motherboard. The over current protecting method includes the following steps: detecting a voltage drop on the power copper layer; controlling the DC-DC converter to operate normally when the voltage drop is smaller than a threshold value; and controlling the DC-DC converter to stop operating when the voltage drop is larger than the threshold value.
