Patent number: 11685482Abstract: Watersport board fins with fin retention systems and associated watersport boards and methods. A fin includes a hydrodynamic blade and a fin base extending from the hydrodynamic blade. The hydrodynamic blade defines a fin plane and includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a foil surface. The fin further includes a fin retention system with a selective retention system that includes a retainer and an actuator coupled to the retainer via a pivot shaft. The actuator forms a portion of the hydrodynamic blade when the selective retention system is in a locked configuration and is configured to rotate away from the fin plane when the selective retention system transitions from the locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. The retainer is configured to rotate away from the fin plane when the selective retention system transitions from the unlocked configuration to the locked configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Vista Outdoor Operations LLCInventors: Wim de Jager, Jason Brewer

Publication number: 20230156075Abstract: A machine learning engine identifies training data that includes historical user data and historical content data. A machine learning classifier is trained on the training data to generate a relevancy value for each of a plurality of given content items associated with a given user. The relevancy value for each given content item is indicative of a likelihood that the given user will perform a first user device input action and of a likelihood that the given user will perform a second user device input action, in response to being presented with the given content item. The machine learning classifier receives a plurality of candidate content items associated with a first user. The machine learning classifier generates a relevancy value for each candidate content item. At least one of the candidate content items is identified for inclusion in a first content collection based on the generated relevancy values.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Jason Brewer, Rodrigo B.

Publication number: 20200259912Abstract: Particular embodiments detect an indication of an event that is initiated on an online social network by a user and that is related to an entity associated with an activity that the user has engaged in. Based on the received indication, a social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information about the activity. After the follow-up information is received, the social-networking system retrieves contacts of the user and identifies contacts that have engaged in social activities on the online social network related to the entity. Recommendations for the entity are then sent to those identified contacts.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Joshua Williams, Daniel Jeng-Ping Hui, Mao Xue, Jason Brewer, Justin Moore, Keegan Jones

Patent number: 10733678Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a plurality of candidate entities for recommendation to a user of a social networking system. A predicted activity objective value model configured to calculate activity stores for candidate entities is established. The activity score is indicative of the probability of future activity on the social networking system by a candidate entity. A first activity score is determined for each of the plurality of candidate entities based on the predicted activity object value model and a first set of feature values. A second activity score is determined for each of the plurality of candidate entities based on the predicted activity object value model and a second set of feature values that is different from the first set of feature values. A first entity is selected of the plurality of candidate entities based on the first and second activity scores.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Komal Kapoor, Jonathan Daniel Sorg, Bradley Ray Green, Jason Brewer, David Tomotsu Sasaki

Patent number: 10681158Abstract: Particular embodiments detect events associated with information about events and activities that a user has engaged in. The events may be of a particular type. An entity associated with an event may request that the user provide further information on the event and, based on the received information, the social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information after an appropriate time delay. The time delay may vary based on the user activity and the type or context of the event that triggered the request. After the follow-up information is received, such information is stored in the social-networking system and may be used to determine recommendations, sponsored stories, advertisements, etc. to send to friends of the user. The information may also be used for ranking or filtering recommendations.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Williams, Daniel Jeng-Ping Hui, Mao Xue, Jason Brewer, Justin Moore, Keegan Jones
