  • Patent number: 10225228
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining an effect on dissemination of information related to an event based on a dynamic confidence level associated with the event. For example, an event and an event confidence level of the event may be determined based on a message of a user. An effect on dissemination of information related to the event may be determined based on the confidence level. A new confidence level may be determined based on additional data associated with the event and the effect on dissemination of information may be adjusted based on the new confidence level. In some implementations, the additional data may be based on a new message that is related to the message, such as a reply to the message.

  • Patent number: 10091147
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to providing additional information related to a vague term in a message. For example, in some implementations, one or more messages sent by a sender and received by one or more recipients may be identified, a vague term in the message may be identified, a user-restricted database may be identified that is associated with the sender or a recipient, and additional information related to the vague term may be determined from the user-restricted database. A vague term is a term which may have multiple meanings and that can be clarified with additional information. In some implementations, user-restricted databases may include additional information that is associated with the user that may be utilized to replace the vague term with a clarified term. In some implementations, a user-restricted database may be utilized to identify additional information in another database that may be utilized to clarify the vague term.

  • Patent number: 9862139
    Abstract: A three dimensional printing apparatus including a tank filled with liquid forming material, a platform disposed in the tank and immersed in the liquid forming material, and a curing tool disposed next to the tank is provided. The tank has at least two forming areas in step manner. The tank and the platform are controlled to generate a relative planer motion, wherein the platform moves from a forming area in higher step towards another forming area in lower step. When the platform moves to one of the forming areas, the curing tool cures the liquid forming material between the platform and the forming area to form a solidification layer on the platform. As the platform moves by at least two forming areas to form at least two solidification layers, the solidification layers are stacked to form a three dimensional object.

  • Publication number: 20170111298
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to identifying one or more messages sent by a user, identifying two or more contacts that are associated with one or more of the messages, determining a strength of relationship score between identified contacts, and utilizing the strength of relationship scores to provide additional information related to the contacts. A strength of relationship score between a contact and one or more other contacts may be determined based on one or more properties of one or more of the messages. In some implementations, contacts groups may be determined based on the strength of relationship scores. In some implementations, contacts groups may be utilized to disambiguate references to contacts in messages. In some implementations, contacts group may be utilized to provide suggestions to the user of additional contacts of a contacts group that includes the indicated recipient contact of a message.
