  • Publication number: 20170024455
    Abstract: An online system receives information from an entity identifying a set of users of the online system and groups users included in the set into clusters based on their similarities using a clustering model or algorithm (e.g., k-means clustering) and based on one or more parameters specified by the entity. The online system generates expanded clusters that include additional users in one or more clusters based on similarities between the additional users and users in various clusters. If an additional user is included in multiple expanded clusters, the online assigns the additional user exclusively to an expanded cluster that best fits the user.

  • Patent number: 9527614
    Abstract: This application is directed to packaging a camera product. A base is attached to a holding element that is configured to physically hold a camera and includes a holding element fastener structure. The holding element fastener structure is configured to mate with a base fastener structure associated with the base, providing both a first degree of freedom of motion and a second degree of freedom of motion for the holding element relative to the base. The holding element is rotated in a first direction via the first degree of freedom until the holding element reaches a first nominal position. The holding element is rotated in a second direction via the second degree of freedom until the holding element reaches a second nominal position. The holding element is configured to lie substantially in parallel with a planar surface of the base when it is rotated along the first and second directions.

  • Publication number: 20160363255
    Abstract: This application discloses a camera including a holding element and a base assembly. The holding element further includes a camera portion for holding a camera sensor, an extended portion that extends from the camera portion, and a fastener structure coupled to an end of the extended portion located opposite another end of the extended portion where the camera module is located. The base assembly further includes a base shaped to rest against a supporting surface, a joint structure configured to mate with the fastener structure, and a magnet configured to magnetically couple the camera to the supporting surface. In some implementations, the camera further includes a mounting structure that is configured to be attached and fixed onto the supporting surface. The camera is mounted onto the supporting surface when the base of the base assembly magnetically adheres onto the mounting structure.

  • Patent number: 9440944
    Abstract: A process for making a cyclic compounds such as cyclic acetal or cyclic ketones by feeding aldehyde or ketone compounds and polyhydroxyl compounds to a reaction zone at a molar ratio of polyhydroxyl compounds to aldehyde or ketone compounds of at least 3:1, reacting these compounds in the presence of a solid acid such as an acidic ion exchange resin, to generate a liquid reaction mixture without separating water from the reaction mixture as it is being formed in the reaction mixture, withdrawing the liquid reaction mixture from the reaction zone as a liquid product stream, and feeding the liquid reaction product stream to a distillation column to separate cyclic acetal compounds from unreacted polyhydroxyl compounds, and optionally recycling back the unreacted polyhydroxyl compounds to the reaction zone. The process produces cyclic acetal compounds in yields of at least 90% with long catalyst life. The process is also suitable to make cyclic ketals from ketone compounds.
