Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include systems for generating personalized avatar reactions during live video broadcasts. For example, the systems and methods described herein can access a social networking system user's profile to identify an avatar associated with the social networking system user. The systems and methods can generate an avatar reaction by modifying one or more features of the avatar based on a corresponding emoticon reaction. Once generated, the social networking system user can select the avatar reaction for addition to an ephemeral reaction stream associated with a live video broadcast. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A bottle, having an antimicrobial property is provided. The bottle has one or more components including a body, a cap, a seal, and a locking ring. One or more of the components of the bottle are treated with an antimicrobial agent or comprise an antimicrobial agent. The antimicrobial is a silver based antimicrobial, a silver-glass antimicrobial, or other antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: A reconnect restriction evaluator is described. After detecting that a certain number of the reconnect requests submitted by a member of an on-line social network have failed, the reconnect restriction evaluator performs additional evaluation of the history of reconnect requests stored as associated with a profile of the member and determines whether the high count of failed requests recorded against the member are offset by one or more offsetting factors. Based on the result of the additional evaluation, the reconnect restriction evaluator generates an exemption indicator and stores it as associated with the profile of the member.

Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods of using such apparatuses. One of the apparatuses includes voltage regulators in an integrated circuit device, and a frequency control block and a module included in the integrated circuit device. Each of the voltage regulators includes a current sensor. The frequency control block operates to provide a clock signal to each of the voltage regulators. The clock signal has a frequency based on digital information. The module operates to receive a current from the current sensor of each of the voltage regulators and provides the digital information to the frequency control block to control the frequency of the clock signal. The digital information has a value based on the current from each of the current sensors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a use of a strength composition for increasing wet dimensional stability of a moulded pulp article. The moulded pulp article is produced by a method which comprises obtaining a fibre slurry and feeding it to a forming tank of a moulding apparatus, forming a moulded pulp article from the fibre slurry, and drying the moulded pulp article. The strength composition comprises at least one permanent wet strength resin and the strength composition is added to the fibre slurry before the forming of the moulded pulp article.
