  • Publication number: 20160224560
    Abstract: A system and method for the federation of content items of a social network based on personalized relevance includes obtaining content items from first and second content item sources. Profile data for a member of the social network is obtained from the electronic data storage. A relevance score of the content item to the profile data of the member is determined for each of the content items. A utility value is determined based on the selection value, the value metric for content items from the first content item source, and the relevance score. A user device associated with the member displays the content items based on their respective utility values.

  • Publication number: 20160224681
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing diversity of content items of a social network includes determining a utility score individually for each of a plurality of content items. The plurality of content items are ranked according to their individually determined utility scores. At least some of the plurality of content items are assigned to positions in a user interface according to the rank. The assigning of positions is iteratively adjusted according to a diversity criterion. A user interface displays the at least some of the plurality of content items according to the positions as iteratively adjusted.

  • Patent number: 9304562
    Abstract: A server rack system including a plurality of power supply units, a monitoring circuit, a rack management controller (RMC), and a plurality of server nodes is provided. The monitoring circuit is for monitoring the power supply units. The RMC is for monitoring the power supply units. When the monitoring circuit and/or the RMC finds that at least one of the power supply units failed to output a normal voltage, an operation status of the server nodes is lowered or at least one of the server nodes is forcibly shut down.

    Abstract: A re-modularized sensing device is disclosed, which is especially for a sensing system having a power unit, a sensing unit, a processing unit, and a transceiver unit is disclosed. The power unit provides electricity for the modularized sensing device. The sensing unit derives at least one environmental data. The processing unit has a sensing device processing application program for calculating the environmental data and generating a first outcome. The transceiver unit transfers the first outcome and a first signal to the host. And one or more modules are formed by the sensing unit, the processing unit, and the power unit, and each module is individually removable and replaceable. And an initialization method of the sensing system using the re-modularized sensing device is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120102254
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a virtualized peripheral hardware platform system. The virtualized peripheral hardware platform system includes a first hardware platform and a software platform, which is executed in a second hardware platform. The first hardware platform is in signal communication with the second hardware platform. The software platform not only simulates the operation of the peripheral device of the first hardware platform but also simulates input signals of virtual peripheral devices and then transmits the input signals to the first hardware platform to conduct further calculations. Furthermore, the input/output (I/O) interface of the second hardware platform can be simulated as the I/O interface of the first hardware platform, so as to decrease the number of the I/O interface which the first hardware platform needed and downsize the first hardware platform.

  • Patent number: 7800603
    Abstract: An exemplary liquid crystal display (LCD) panel includes scan lines, data lines, a scan driver connected to the scan lines, a data driver connected to the data lines, a controller connected to the scan driver and the data driver, and pixels formed by the scan lines and the data lines. The LCD panel is divided into five detecting regions, and the first detecting region is in a center of the LCD panel, and others surround the center portion of the LCD panel. Each detecting region includes a photo sensor. The controller is used to control the five detecting regions to have substantially the same flicker level.

  • Patent number: 7436335
    Abstract: An exemplary data driver chip (23) includes a multiplexer (31); a first digital/analog (D/A) converter (32); and a second digital/analog (D/A) converter (33). The multiplexer receives a multiplex data stream and decomposes the multiplex data stream to a first signal and a second signal, and respectively sends the first and second signals to the first and the second D/A converters. The first D/A converter converts the first signal to an analog gamma voltage to the second D/A converter, and the second D/A converter converts the second signal to analog video signal according to the analog gamma voltage.
