Abstract: An online system determines the likelihood of an interaction between a user and a content item being an invalid interaction. The online system receives an indication of an interaction of a client device with a content item. The online system identifies a device ID for the client device and determines whether the device ID is associated with one or more browser IDs. If the device ID is not associated with any browser ID, the received interaction is likely an invalid interaction. The online system may further determines the likelihood of an online publisher manufacturing interactions. The online system determines a number of invalid interactions and a number of valid interactions associated with the online publisher. The online system determines a ratio between the number of invalid and valid interactions. If the ratio is larger than a threshold value, the online system determines that the online publisher is likely manufacturing interactions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system having a plurality of user devices, a plurality of databases, and servers in communication over a network. Each of the devices synchronizes one or more address books comprising contact information. The contact information is enhanced and then cleansed. The enhanced contact information is then hashed so that the personally identifiable information is made unavailable. The system then identifies common contacts representing the same real person and creates a single composite view of the person. Thereafter, the system shares the single composite view between users while obfuscating information that personally identifies such contacts.

Abstract: This invention provides various GUI moderator templates symbolizing templates which are capable of classifying a complicated behavior of the mobile agent into basic behavior patterns and defining a desired behavior pattern of the mobile agent by a combination of the basic behavior patterns, and various GUI activities symbolizing an activity of issuing a request in each place where the mobile agent moves around. The operator drops the GUI moderator template and the GUI activity on the GUI builder to join them for defining the order of executing jobs. The user Can also set address information of a place of execution in the GUI activity.

Abstract: A system enabling participants in a virtual environment to select a partner for an interaction session, the system comprising attention and priority components. The attention component employs attention sense and focus spaces. The sense space comprises a sense cone, the sense cone being both contained by a sense sphere and having a sense vector along its axis. The focus space comprises a focus cone, the focus cone being both contained by a focus sphere and having a focus vector along its axis. The attention component is associated with one or more senses, each such sense having associated therewith respective sense and focus spaces. The attention component is configured to support either/both intentional interaction (interaction driven by defined explicit controls) and spontaneous interaction (interaction driven by non-intentional encounters, e.g., spontaneous “eye” contact between avatars).

Abstract: An end of a conductor having a stranded conductor layer wound around a tension member made of resin-reinforced carbon fiber is cut back to expose the end of the tension member. The exposed end of the tension member is inserted into a metal fitting having multiple longitudinal slits. A metal sleeve is then fit over the metal fitting and also partially over the stranded conductor layer before compress-fitted into place. Accordingly, it is possible to attach, with good workability and sufficient tensile strength, a conductor that has a tension member made of resin-reinforced carbon fiber.

Abstract: Ionization clusters have a plurality of ionization points which act to dissipate lightning charges into the air and prevent a lightning strike. A tree-like structure has a central support tower. One ionization cluster is mounted to the top of the tower. Successive arrays of second, third and N tiers of ionization clusters are mounted to the tower. The resultant tree-like structure forms a bell-shaped force field of equal voltage potential during a lightning storm. The force field dissipates a lightning strike.

Abstract: An injector insulating cover includes a circumferential engagement portion in an inner wall portion. The circumferential engagement portion is engaged in a circumferential direction with respective apexes of a nut portion disposed in a head portion of an injector. When the insulating cover is attached so as to cover the head portion of the injector, the insulating cover cannot relatively rotate about the axis of the injector. Thus, the insulating cover can surely hold electric wires connected to terminals of the injector, so that electric wires elongate in a desired direction, and disadvantages such as that the electric wires come in contact with peripheral components and their insulating sheaths are damaged can be prevented from being produced.

This object is accomplished by a section of the side surfaces having an angle of inclination less than 90.degree. in relation to the base such that the ends of the side surfaces pointing away from the base can be connected at a common junction. The connections are arranged exclusively on the outer side surfaces and that the distance between the supply ducts is such that the workplace can be brought into the space between the supply ducts.

Abstract: Uniformly spaced insulating buttons support two signal conductors within a tubular cable. The signal conductors are twisted from 180 to 360 degrees and are in physical contact with each other at their crossing point between each pair of buttons. Between each pair of buttons one of the conductors is covered with an insulating sleeve. The insulating sleeve alternates from one conductor to the other over the length of the cable. The conductors and buttons are enclosed within an insulating and supporting tubing. The supporting tubing is reduced in diameter or has corrugations to provide flexibility between each pair of insulating buttons. An overall shield composed of wires or foil is woven or helically wrapped to form a straight tube that surrounds the supporting tubing. The overall shield is electrically connected to system ground at the source end, allowing current flow only in the signal conductors.

Abstract: An improved hermetically sealed case for enclosing an electronic element, wherein the case has an upper portion and a lower portion connected together by atomic bonding. The upper portion includes through holes. Each hole forms a lead to provide a connection from the outside of the case to the element within the case. Each lead is arranged in the through hole to seal the hole hermetically and yet provide an electrical contact for the element. The sealed case prevents the electronic element from being deteriorated by hazardous gas generated by the conventional welding process used to seal such cases.
