Abstract: A temperature probe is configured for use in gas meters. These configurations may include a thermo-well that extends through the body of the gas meter. The thermo-well may have an end proximate a center axis of the body, which corresponds with a center or middle of flow that transit the device. A temperature sensor may reside in the thermo-well at this end. In one implementation, thermo-conductive material may secure the sensor in position in the thermos-well. This material may enhance thermal conduction between the temperature sensor and the thermos-well. The other parts of the temperature probe may remain thermally-isolated to avoid corruption of the temperature readings.

Abstract: Methods and vaporizer apparatuses that estimate, measure and/or predict the amount of vapor and/or material (including active ingredients) released by the vaporizer apparatus. In particular, described herein are electronic vaporizers and methods of using them that determine a dose/amount of vapor and/or a material in the vapor based primarily or exclusively on the electrical and thermal properties, e.g., power or energy applied to the vaporizing element (e.g., heating coil) and the temperature of the material immediately before and as it is vaporized. Dose information may be used to control operation of the device and/or reported to the user.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of confirming identity of an entity is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a plurality of items for delivery to an address, obtaining, from the items, information regarding an entity associated with the items and the address, and delivering the items to the address. The method may also comprise identifying an expected identity of the entity, receiving a request to confirm an identity of the entity using third-party identity verification via a user interface, and determining, based on the information regarding the entity, a confidence score for the expected identity. The method may further comprise determining whether the confidence score is greater than or equal to the threshold value and generating a response to the request. The method may additionally comprises displaying the response via the user interface.

Abstract: A method and system for providing recipient recommendations to a user wishing to share content with a contact is provided. A message having the content along with a first contact is received from the user. Profiles from an entire social graph associated with the user and the first contact are searched to determine a shared attributed among both profiles. The shared attribute is used to search for a second contact to receive the content by searching for the shared attribute in a profile associated with the second contact. When a determination is made that the profile associated with the second contact has the shared attribute, the second contact is suggested as a recipient of the content.

Abstract: Techniques for improving an interactive user interface of a messaging application by dynamically identifying a configurable number of top-ranked targets for a new message from a plurality of possible targets for the new message are disclosed. An interaction with the messaging application is detected. The interaction is determined to be indicative of an intent to identify a target for the new message from the plurality of possible targets for the new message. The identifying of the targets is performed by applying a matching algorithm to the one or more keywords. The matching algorithm blends a ranking of individual connections associated with the member with a ranking of group conversations associated with the member. Responsive to the detection of the interaction, a listing of identifiers associated with the targets is caused to be presented in a search results portion of the user interface.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for generating recommended responses based on historical data. A messaging system receives a message as part of a communication session between a first client device and a second client device. The message originated from the first client device. The messaging system determines, using the message as input in a statistical model, a set of candidate responses for replying to the message. The statistical model was generated based on historical message data transmitted as part of previous communication sessions between a plurality of client devices. The set of candidate responses is a subset of a set of available candidate responses. The messaging system determines, based on a set of candidate selection rules, a subset of the candidate responses yielding a set of recommended responses to the message, and causes the set of recommended responses to be presented on the second client device.
