Patent number: 10846803Abstract: A social networking system permits users to store content presented by the social networking system and subsequently access the stored content associated with the users. A content item is stored in association with a user profile of a user that stored the content item and with one or more rules specifying criteria causing presentation of the stored content item to the user when satisfied. Additionally, a rule associated with a stored content item may specify a format in which the stored content item is presented when criteria associated with the rule are satisfied. When characteristics associated with a user satisfy criteria associated with a rule associated with a stored content item, the stored content item is included in a selection process determining content that is presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Gueorgui Nikolov Djabarov, John Graham Keggi, Daniel Joseph Giambalvo, Ash Wahi, Mao Xue

Patent number: 10430421Abstract: When a user sees a content item presented by a social networking system, the user may select an option to save the content item. When a user saves a content item, views saved content items, or otherwise indicates a present interest in a particular saved content item, the system recommends one or more additional items for the users to consume or save based on the seed saved content item. To find the additional content items, the system identifies other users who also saved the seed item and then finds other content items that these other users also saved at a rate that is disproportionately higher than the global save rates for the content items (which may be normalized by opportunities to save the content). Relevance for content items in other contexts may also be determined based on content items that have been saved by a user.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: John Graham Keggi, Daniel Joseph Giambalvo, Mao Xue

Patent number: 10270733Abstract: A first notification of a first action by a user with respect to a first content item may be received by a computer system, the first content item having a first relationship to the user. A second notification of a second notification by the user with respect to a second content item may be received by the computer system. The second content item may have a second relationship to the user, and at least a portion of the second content item may correspond to at least a portion of the first content item. A first property of the first relationship may be managed by the computer system based on the second notification.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Keith Andrew Birney, Daniel Joseph Giambalvo, Christopher Alexander Gist, Ashish Wahi

Publication number: 20090119607Abstract: A method and a processing device may be provided in which a number of disparate rendering platforms may be integrated to render a single integrated scene. The disparate rendering platforms may include logical trees of controls, which may define relationships among the controls. An integrated logical tree may formed from the logical trees of the disparate rendering platforms. At least some of the controls, related to a first rendering platform, may act as placeholders with respect to a second rendering platform. One of a number of different hosting modes may be employed to build upon the integrated logical tree to integrate the first rendering platform and the second rendering platform to produce a single integrated scene. Because the hosting modes may build upon the integrated logical tree, various embodiments may be capable of easily switching among the hosting modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2007Publication date: May 7, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Daniel Joseph Giambalvo, Karim Taji Farouki, Gregory David Swedberg, Daniel Jason Tomko

Patent number: 6928443Abstract: A modular and flexible framework for creating search systems of networked resources. The framework utilizes an abstraction layer between a user of network resources and the underlying resource types and access methodologies to allow the processing of different resource types simultaneously. The system framework accepts resource types and access methodologies through self-contained modules which can be easily deployed and combined. The end result is a unified search system capable of handling heterogeneous network resources and resources from heterogeneous network access methodologies with a single point of access for the user, and simplified setup for the administrator.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2002Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Inventor: Daniel Joseph Giambalvo

Patent number: 4249773Abstract: A collapsible table and seat assembly, preferably a picnic table, can be conveniently folded into relatively small and compact form for storage or transportation. The table includes folding braces which connect the table legs and support the braces holding the table top. The braces open from a jack-knife position to a stop position slightly beyond rectilinear. Self-locating hook and guide elements ensure proper alignment of the two halves of the table tops when placing the table into the opened position. The table is preferably made with top and seats of wood, and remaining portions of lightweight metal.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1979Date of Patent: February 10, 1981Inventor: Joseph Giambalvo

Patent number: 4241669Abstract: A shelf arrangement includes two or more wire bracket members positively connected to a shelf member, each of the bracket members including an angularly extending upper extension terminating in a hook, and a generally horizontally extending lower extension, with the hook and the end of the lower extension being adapted to be lockably but detachably supported by apertures in a support arrangement. The shelf includes a notch in the vicinity of the intersection of the angularly extending upper extension and the horizontally extending lower extension of each bracket which maintains the bracket perpendicular to the shelf when inserting the bracket into the apertures of the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1979Date of Patent: December 30, 1980Inventor: Joseph Giambalvo
