  • Publication number: 20180097800
    Abstract: An online system receives a variety of identifiers associated with a user of the online system and generates a federated list of identifiers for the user that includes each of the received identifiers. Identifiers may be browser identifiers, device identifiers, Internet protocol address, personally identifiable information, or a user identifier of a different online system. For each identifier in the federated list of identifiers, the online system generates metadata information such as a confidence score indicating a degree of certainty that the identifier can be used to accurately identify the user of the online system. The online system aggregates features associated with the identifiers in the federated list of identifiers to generate a comprehensive user profile of the user and uses the comprehensive user profile to better serve the user.

    Abstract: An open coiled pacemaker lead is provided that has improved structural stability and functional life in vivo. The open coiled lead includes an electrically conductive material that is coated or covered by a thin layer of electrically insulative material. The coated coiled lead has adequate spacing between adjacent coils, and has a lumen of sufficient diameter, to allow for infiltration of biological connective tissue onto the surface of the coated coil when maintained in vivo for a sufficient amount of time. Infiltration of the connective tissue essentially uniformly along the entire coiled lead strengthens and lengthens the functional life of the coated coil lead.

  • Patent number: 9900321
    Abstract: Online system users interact with one or more third party systems, with the online system maintaining an account for each of its users and each third party system maintaining a third party account for each of its users. The online system compares information in a user's account to accessible information in third party accounts and establishes connections between the user's account and o third party accounts based on the comparisons. A connection between the user's account and a third party account includes a confidence level indicating a likelihood of the third party account being associated with the user of the online system corresponding to the account. A third party system may request information from the online system about a user specifying a threshold confidence level, allowing the online system to return information from third party accounts having connections to the user's account with at least the threshold confidence level.

  • Publication number: 20170353564
    Abstract: An online system tracks identities of users that interact with the online system. The online system sends a browser identifier for storing on a client device that interacts with the online system. The browser identifier uniquely identifies a browser of the client device used for interacting with the online system. A content provider system receives the browser identifier from the client device and uses the browser identifier for logging user actions associated with content provided by the content provider system. The content provider system sends user action logs to the online system and the online system determines users that used the client device at a timestamp associated with the user action log. The online system provides the user identifiers to the content provider system. The content provider system uses the user identifiers to generate reports.
