Abstract: A trocar assembly can include a cannula, a seal cartridge, and an obturator. The seal cartridge is configured to be releasably coupled to the cannula and to be disposed at least partially within the cannula in a coupled configuration of the seal cartridge. The obturator is configured to directly latch to the cannula and to extends through the cannula and the seal cartridge in a coupled configuration of the obturator.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for expanding a social network. A method includes retrieving contact lists from a plurality of devices, generating a list of associations between identifiers in a first communication channel and identifiers in a second communication channel, removing, from the list of associations, one or more associations that include identifiers that do not represent contacts that are not members of the online social networking service, and transmitting an invitation to join the online social networking service to the second identifiers on the second communication channel for associations that remain in the list of associations.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium, and computer-implemented method for maintaining an accurate organization chart, are presented. The method may include accessing organization chart data defining a hierarchy of an organization comprising a group of users. At least one user of the group of users may be prompted to provide verification information pertaining to the accuracy of a portion of the organization chart data. Upon receiving the verification information from the at least one user, the method may include updating the organization chart data in accordance with the verification information.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying members of a social network service that exhibit recruiting intent are described. According to various embodiments, a set of members of an online social network service that self-identify as recruiters may be identified. The set of members that self-identify as recruiters may then be clustered into a group of engaged recruiters and a second group of non-engaged recruiters, and the group of engaged recruiters may be categorized as members exhibiting recruiting intent. Behavioral log data associated with the members exhibiting recruiting intent may then be accessed and classified as recruiting intent signature data. Thereafter, prediction modeling may be performed based on the recruiting intent signature data and a prediction model, to identify members of the online social network service that are associated with behavioral log data matching the recruiting intent signature data.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for deriving, for each member of a social network service, a metric representing the job-seeking propensity of the member. Additionally, techniques for classifying each member with a job-seeking status (e.g., active job-seeker, passive job-seeker, or non-job-seeker) are described. A score-generating algorithm will analyze a variety of input data—including member profile data, social graph data, and activity or behavior data—to derive a job-seeker score, representing the job-seeking propensity of a member. Once derived, the metric is used to customize, personalize or otherwise tailor a user-experience.

Abstract: Systems and methods for referring members of a social network as job candidates are described. In some examples, the systems and methods receive information associated with a job or a company associated with a job, identify members of a social network based on attributes for the members, and perform an action (e.g., send an email or update a widget on a profile page) associated with a member of the social network that is connected to the identified members and affiliated with the company.
