  • Publication number: 20230334524
    Abstract: An online system presenting sponsored content items to users obtains information about quality of the sponsored content items from users to whom the sponsored content items are presented. For example, a user hiding a sponsored content item or reporting a sponsored content item to the online system describe quality of the sponsored content item. By correlating ratings of a sponsored content item by professional raters with a quality ratio of number of reports of the sponsored content item by users to a sum of number of times the sponsored content item was hidden and the number of reports of the sponsored content item, the online system trains a model to determine the quality ratio for sponsored content items based on characteristics of the sponsored content items. When selecting sponsored content items for a user, the online system penalizes or subsidizes a sponsored content item based on its determined quality ratio.

  • Patent number: 10212468
    Abstract: An online system presents content items to a group of users who provide ratings for the content items. Based on ratings received from various users of the group, the online system generates data describing presentation of the content items to users of the group. Because of a limited number of users in the group, the online system enforces rules that limit the ability to show content items to users of the group within a time interval. Accordingly, when a set of content items are selected for presentation to a user of the group, the online system replaces content items of the set that were previously shown to the user within the time interval with alternative content items. The online system also retrieves a previously received rating for a content item replaced by an alternative content item to use along with ratings received for content items of the set.

  • Patent number: 9590401
    Abstract: A retainer device for a cable used in an aircraft includes a base. A moveable member is movably connected to the base and forms a channel with the base that is adapted to receive a cable. A pad-deforming portion is defined in the moveable member, which is displaceable between an open position in which a portion, of the moveable member is separated from the base to provide access to the channel, and closed positions, in which the moveable member is releasably connected to the base. A resilient pad is located in the pad-deforming portion to contact the cable received in the channel. The resilient pad is sized to deform from a rest state to a deformed state by the pad-deforming portion during insertion thereinto. The resilient pad is held captive after insertion into the pad-deforming portion by reforming toward the rest state.
