  • Publication number: 20180211335
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for estimating user influence on a social network platform, and a computer storage medium. The method includes: obtaining user behavior data of a number of users on the social network platform; determining an influence transfer relationship between every two users among the number of users according to the user behavior data; estimating an influence-rank of a user of the number of users on the social network platform based on the influence transfer relationship; and determining influence of the user according to the influence-rank.

  • Patent number: 8886840
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for supporting 10 Gigabit digital serial communications. Many of the functional components and sublayers of a 10 Gigabit digital serial communications transceiver module are integrated into a single IC chip using the same CMOS technology throughout the single chip. The single chip includes a PMD transmit/receive CMOS sublayer, a PMD PCS CMOS sublayer, a XGXS PCS CMOS sublayer, and a XAUI transmit/receive CMOS sublayer. The single chip supports both 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation and 10 Gigabit Fiber Channel operation. The single chip interfaces to a MAC, an optical PMD, and non-volatile memory.

  • Publication number: 20130174187
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending media assets in a media guidance application are provided. One or more signals indicative of motion of a user input device may be received. In response to receiving one or more signals indicative of motion of the user input device, a region containing media identifiers may be animated, where the animated region may be used to randomly select a media identifier for presentation to the user.

  • Publication number: 20060149505
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting and monitoring wafer probe stability including the steps of, probing each die on a wafer, and for each die determining whether the result of the probe is a pass or a fail. If the result of a probe is a fail, re-probing the die and determining whether the re-probe is a pass or a fail. Once all the dies have been probed determining the rate of die re-probes that lead to passes, comparing the rate of passes on re-probes to a pre-determined limit, and if the rate of passes on re-probes is greater than the predetermined limit, assigning the probe status as unstable.
