  • Publication number: 20160134576
    Abstract: A social networking system selects a set of groups for presentation to a user of the social networking system. To select groups, the social networking system determining scores for various groups representing a likelihood of the user interacting with the groups. When determining a score for a group, the social networking system accounts for a likelihood of the user providing content to the group as well as the user accessing or viewing content associated with the group. Based on the scores, one or more groups are selected and presented to the user. Additionally, the social networking system may apply one or more diversity rules so that the selected groups have a variety of characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9006953
    Abstract: A stator assembly structure for an axial flux electric machine is designed. The back iron for each silicon steel disk stator is formed into a specific structure with tooth-like protrusions for allowing the same to be integrated with the disk-type stator seat, while the disk-type stator seat is made of a material suitable for casting or mold forming. A coil is mounted on the disk stator, and a stator assembly is achieved by integrating the stator, the coil and the stator seat. The stator and the disk-type stator seat of the stator assembly are manufactured by using a one-piece cast or one-piece mold forming method so as to enable the contact surfaces of the stator and the stator seat to engage with each other even more tightly, and consequently enable the heat generated from the coil to be transmitted rapidly from the disk stator to the disk-type stator seat.

  • Patent number: 8775551
    Abstract: A network system uses a staging server. The network system comprises an existing server and a client device that transmits session traffic comprising an HTTP request message. The HTTP request message is duplicated to form duplicated HTTP request messages. It is determined whether the HTTP request message has a first session identifier. If so, a mapping relation between the first session identifier and a second session identifier is searched for. The duplicated HTTP request messages to the existing server and the staging server, respectively, are transmitted, wherein the session identifier of the HTTP request message to the staging server is replaced with the second session identifier based on the first session identifier and the mapping relation. One embodiment may also comprise receiving an HTTP reply message from the existing server and an HTTP reply message from the staging server. The HTTP reply message from the existing server and the HTTP reply message from the staging server are compared.
