Patent number: 10729491Abstract: A probe includes a shaft and an applicator head designed to treat irregularly-shaped hollow cavities, such as a cavity in breast tissue created by a lumpectomy procedure. The applicator head has a fixed geometry, and a plurality of electrodes can be advanced from an exterior surface of the applicator head in an omnidirectional pattern. The electrodes are used to deliver radiofrequency current or other energy to ablate the marginal tissue.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Inventors: Robert F. Rioux, Tyler R. Wanke, Yearnchee Curtis Wang, Adam Piotrowski, Tyler Graf, Aldo Ansel

Patent number: 10440144Abstract: A notification platform for distribution of notification content in an on-line social network system, on-line and in near real time, is described. As a new notification is detected in the continuous stream of notifications triggered by time-sensitive events, the near real time notifications distribution system determines member profiles representing potential recipients of the notification by traversing a relationship graph. The relationship graph has nodes representing member profiles, as well as other entities maintained in the on-line social network system. The edges of the relationship graph represent relationships between entities represented by the associated nodes. For each member profile representing a potential recipient of the notification, the near real time notifications distribution system generates a relevance score, which is used to determine whether the notification is to be delivered to the potential recipient.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pingjie Xiao, Shaunak Chatterjee, Shipeng Yu, Ankit Gupta, Swapnil Ghike, Vivek Nelamangala, Banu Muthukumar, Curtis Wang, Parinkumar Shah, Eric Brownrout, Changji Shi

Patent number: 10116756Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which provide a relevance engine for determining a relevance of an individual (either a non-member or another member) to another individual (either a non-member or another member). This relevance engine may use signals in the form of data that the social networking service may learn about the individuals to determine how relevant the individuals are to each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Samir M. Shah, Mitul Tiwari, Roshan Rajesh Sumbaly, Curtis Wang

Publication number: 20170177588Abstract: A system and method for contextual connection recommendation includes obtaining, with a processor from a database, contextual data and social graph data. related to a pair of members of a social network who are not currently connected on the social network. A connection base score between the pair of members is generated based on the social graph data. A recommendation modifier is generated based on the contextual data. A connection recommendation modified score is determined by applying the recommendation modifier to the base score. A connection recommendation is provided to at least one of the pair of members based, at least in part, on the connection recommendation modified score.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2017Publication date: June 22, 2017Inventors: Mitul Tiwari, Curtis Wang, Aastha Jain

This relevance engine may use signals in the form of data that the social networking service may learn about the individuals to determine how relevant the individuals are to each other. Example applications may include ordering of connection invitations in a social networking service.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Samir M.
