  • Publication number: 20180248978
    Abstract: An electronic device associated with a media-providing service has one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors. The electronic device accesses a listening history of a user of the media-providing service. Based at least in part on the listening history of the user, the electronic device assigns a first personality trait of a plurality of personality traits to the user. The electronic device provides personalized content to the user based on the first personality trait.

  • Publication number: 20180246961
    Abstract: An electronic device is associated with a media-providing service. The electronic has one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors. For each track of a plurality of tracks consumed by a user of the media-providing service, the electronic device determines, based on a listening history of the user with the media-providing service, whether the track has previously been consumed by the user. The electronic device determines, for the user, a discovery score based on a number of the plurality of tracks determined to not have been previously consumed by the user. The electronic device provides personalized content to the user based on the discovery score.

  • Publication number: 20180246694
    Abstract: A server system of a media-providing service has one or more processors and memory that stores instructions for execution by the one or more processors. The server system accesses a listening history of a user that specifies tracks consumed by the user. The tracks have respective characteristics that describe the tracks. The server system determines for the user, using the listening history, a diversity score based on variation of the characteristics across the tracks consumed by the user. The server system provides personalized content to the user based on the diversity score.

  • Patent number: 10033474
    Abstract: A server system accesses a listening history of a user of the media-providing service, where the user is in a demographic group. For each track of a plurality of tracks in the listening history of the user, the server system calculates a first metric based at least in part on an affinity of members of the demographic group, as compared to members of other demographic groups, for the track. The server system averages the first metrics for the plurality of tracks in the listening history of the user to determine a second metric. In accordance with a determination that the second metric satisfies a threshold, the server system selects content for the user and provides the selected content to a client device associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 9962492
    Abstract: A syringe assembly having a barrel for containing one or more medicaments and a stopper disposed in the barrel defining and separating a first volume and a second volume within the syringe assembly. The stopper includes a permanent seal fluidly sealing the stopper to the barrel about the entire perimeter of the stopper intermediate the first volume and second volume, and a channel bypassing the permanent seal, the channel having a first opening in fluid communication with the second volume and a second opening selectively sealed from the first volume by a resilient seal. The resilient seal is moveable between a sealing configuration and an open configuration to selectively seal the channel from the first volume and is moveable from the sealing configuration to the open configuration upon fluid pressure in the first volume or second volume exceeding a first pressure threshold.

  • Publication number: 20180104416
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device (10) comprising a syringe (12) having a barrel with an open end, and an axially moveable stopper (18) received in the barrel separating a first chamber axially forwards of the stopper from a second chamber axially rearwards of the stopper. The medicament delivery device further including an expandable drive housing (24) arranged to receive a propellant from a propellant source (36) for providing a vapour pressure, the expandable drive housing having a narrow channel in fluid communication with the second chamber. The expandable drive housing is expandable upon receiving propellant from the propellant source and, upon expansion, causes forward axial movement of the syringe.
