Abstract: Analyzing digital content associated with a entity to identifier the entity's interest and influence related thereto. A set of digital content, such as text, pictures, or video, which the entity has submitted to one or more social media services, is identified. A set of interests for the entity is identified. This may be performed, in part, by analyzing a set of pictures to identify a set of visual attributes for each picture. Then, one or more descriptive labels that characterize the content shown in each picture are determined based on the set of visual attributes for each picture. Next, one or more subject categories for each picture are determined based upon the one or more descriptive labels for each picture. Thereafter, a set of actual interests for the entity is identified based, at least in part, upon the one or more subject categories associated with each digital picture.

Abstract: We describe a method of fabricating an optical MEMS spatial light modulator (SLM). The method comprises providing an optical MEMS SLM wafer bearing multiple optical MEMS SLM devices and spin coating a glass wafer with an organic adhesive, in some preferred embodiments benzocyclobutene. The adhesive is patterned, preferably by uv lithography, to define multiple ring-shaped bond lines each sized to fit around one of the SLM devices, and the glass wafer is then bonded to the MEMS SLM wafer, preferably at a temperature of between 100° C. and 450° C., such that each of the ring-shaped bond lines encompasses a respective SLM device. A portion of the glass wafer adjacent an SLM device is then removed to reveal electrical connectors to the device and the devices are tested before dicing and packaging, to enable selective packaging of working devices.
