Abstract: A torsional moment acting on a component in a drive train of an aircraft may be determined using at least one sensor, where the determined torsional moment is used for adjusting at least one adjustable damping element located in or on the component and/or for regulating a torsional stiffness in the torque-conducting component. As a result, the torsional load in the component may be reduced.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a cover feed interaction history from a device associated with a user of a social-networking system. An order for a plurality of content boards may be determined based on the cover feed interaction history (e.g., viewing history, download status, the current order of content boards in the cover feed, user interaction history, whether the user bookmarked or pinned a particular content board), user information related to the user, and device information about device-based events and device status. Finally, the order for the content boards may be sent to the device. The determination of the order for the content boards may be based on the cover feed interaction history, recency of content included in the content boards, popularity of the content, relevance of content to the user, or device-based events.

Abstract: In one embodiment, user information for a user of a social-networking system is retrieved. Device information is determined for a device associated with the user. Based on the device information or the user information, content associated with the user is retrieved. Using the retrieved content, a content board is composed for use in a cover feed displayed on the device The content board may comprise a background image. Finally, the content board is sent to the device. In one embodiment, updated information for content associated with the user is retrieved. The updated information may be associated with content that was included in a previously-provided content board. Using the updated information, an update to the previously-provided content boards is composed. Finally, the updates may be sent to the previously-provided content boards to the device.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to a system (1) for handling performance issues of a production Complex Event Processing, CEP, system (2) during runtime. The production CEP system (2) includes at least one event source, at least one continuous query and at least one event sink. The system (1) includes: at least one monitoring sensor for producing a stream of status events relating to the production CEP system (2); and a monitoring CEP system (10) for executing at least one continuous analysis query on the stream of status events to produce a stream of monitoring events. The stream of monitoring events indicates performance issues of the production CEP system (2) relating to the throughput, the latency, and/or the memory consumption of the production CEP system (2).

Abstract: To generate stories for presentation to social networking system users, one or more story generation engines receives a set of actions of social networking system users. Various story generation engines output stories of different types that collect particular types of actions and arrange the actions in a specified format for presentation. The story generators may avoid selecting the same actions for different stories. Stories generated by the various story generators may be ranked and the ranking used to select stories for presentation to one or more social networking system users.

Abstract: Technology for optimizing policy evaluation is disclosed. A policy may include an ordered rule set. When evaluated, the highest priority rule in the order that does not skip may control the outcome of the policy. Rules within a policy may have associated costs and an associated probability of not skipping. The rules of a policy may not need to be executed in a particular order for a system to determine the correct evaluation of the policy and groups of rules, or “batches,” may be run simultaneously. Technology is disclosed to optimize policy evaluation by creating batches and orderings of those batches which have a lower expected cost than other ordered sets of batches. The expected cost for each ordered set of batches may be calculated based on: rule costs, probabilities associated with one or more rules, the organization of the rules into batches, and the ordering of batches within sets.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a heating block (100) for a continuous flow heater in which a water flow system with channels is arranged in the heating block (100). A heating path (300) of the water flow system forms a hottest channel (340) with a hottest heating element (341) during operation of the continuous flow heater. The hottest channel (340) is arranged downstream of at least one channel (310, 320, 330) of the heating path (300) in a flow direction (110). The hottest channel (340) of the heating path (300) is surrounded by at least four channels which are located between an outer surface (120) of the heating block (100) and the hottest channel (340). Accordingly, the hottest channel (340) of the continuous flow heater is surrounded by at least four channels and is shielded relative to an air space (160).

Abstract: One embodiment selects from a plurality of actions performed by one or more users of a social networking system a first action and one or more second actions, wherein each action has one or more attributes; computes a score for each second action by comparing the one or more attributes of each second action with the one or more attributes of the first action; ranks the one or more second actions according to the score computed for each second action; and selects from the one or more second actions one or more highest-ranking second actions as being related to the first action.
