Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods convert linear displacement of expanding and contracting flexible reservoir into rotational displacement which can be correlated to volume of reservoir through numerical measurements. Sensor can comprises one or more components the rotational displacement of which can be correlated to the volume of the flexible reservoir through numerical measurements. Rotation can be converted into digital data indicative of measurement of volume of flexible reservoir. Medical devices for administering liquid drug therapy comprising a flexible reservoir can implement such devices, systems, or methodology.

Abstract: Described is improved resource utilization for multithreading. A first run-time stack is constructed for a first tasklet by allocating a contiguous block of memory between starting and ending memory addresses in a stack pool. The first tasklet executes using a first portion of the contiguous block of memory, up to an intermediate memory address, prior to being preempted by a second tasklet. A second run-time stack is constructed in the stack pool by allocating a second starting memory address, before the ending memory address of the first run-time stack. The second tasklet executes from the second starting memory address, without overlapping the first portion of memory used to execute the first tasklet prior to preemption. Memory addresses associated with the second run-time stack are freed after the second tasklet terminates. Execution of the first tasklet resumes, using memory addresses previously associated with the first run-time stack prior to being preempted.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request from a first user of an online social network, the request comprising a character string of one or more characters of text entered by the first user, identifying a first set of objects associated with the online social network matching at least in part the character string of the request, calculating a score for each identified object in the first set of objects, wherein the score for each identified object is based at least in part on connections between the first user and the identified object, and sending one or more suggested queries responsive to the request, each suggested query comprising the character string of the request and one or more keywords associated with one or more of the identified objects, wherein the suggested queries are displayed in a ranked list based on the calculated scores of the associated identified objects.

Abstract: Embodiments improve the ability of users of a social networking system to search for information that is likely to be relevant to them by learning and/or applying a search context associated with selector components used to search for objects of the social networking system. The search context is specific to the use of an individual selector and thus need not be as general as the context of an entire page or set of pages in which selectors can be embedded. The social networking system may learn the context of a selector by monitoring user selections from prior search results performed using the selector.

Abstract: Equivalent concepts expressed across multiple domains are matched and associated with a metapage generated by a social networking system. User preferences expressed on multiple domains, represented as pages in a social networking system, may be organized by concept and shared with advertisers, third-party developers, and other users of the social networking system using the metapages generated for the concepts. Aggregated social information may be presented to users of the social networking system viewing a page associated with a metapage. In one embodiment, a best page may be determined for a user based on information about the user.

Abstract: A flywheel device includes structures allowing the flywheel system to be assembled offsite, transported safely, and installed with relatively few steps. The flywheel includes a rotor and a housing enclosing the rotor, where the housing includes a bottom plate, a top plate and side walls. The bottom plate and the top plate each includes a hole aligned with the center axis of the rotor. The flywheel also includes multiple bearing housings substantially covering the holes of the bottom plate and the top plate that are aligned to the center axis of the rotor. The flywheel also includes posts that physically contact the primary rotational mass of the rotor to prevent motion of the rotor during transport of the flywheel system. Some or all of these posts may be repositioned or removed during installation so that the rotor can spin freely.
