  • Patent number: 11343210
    Abstract: A system and message for message selection and presentation, including: receiving a request for content, wherein the request is associated with a context account of a messaging platform; identifying a set of unviewed messages associated with the context account; identifying grouping criteria for grouping content based on messages; applying, by a computer processor, the grouping criteria to the unviewed messages to generate a content group, wherein the content group is associated with a subset of the unviewed messages; and providing at least a portion of the content group in response to the request.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8914962
    Abstract: A buoy split key (“BSD”) removal apparatus, system, and method are disclosed. The BSD utilizes a power screw to apply a steady and controllable compressive load onto the split key. The BSD applies a compressive force or load to the bitter ends of the split key in order to maximize the use of the moment on the split key. The spread and/or twisted split key is compressed by a compression assembly and compression power screw as supported by a compression frame. The compression assembly provides steady and controllable compression on a buoy split key. A compression power screw and extrusion power screw should be threaded in the opposite direction for maximum torque to remove the buoy split key. Once the split key is fully compressed by the compression assembly, the compressive load from the power screw and split key are then removed.
