The method further includes identifying one or more media forums to relate to the article. Each media forum includes one or more discussion threads, and each media forum is associated with an interest graph that changes over time. Responsive to the request, the method selects a media forum from the one or more media forums to associate with the article based on examination of the interest graph of the media forum and the assigned prominence scores of entities in the article.

Abstract: In one embodiment at least one user profile of a user may be obtained. Information may be provided to the user by one or more personalization engines based, at least in part, upon the at least one user profile. Each of the one or more personalization engines may be configured to operate according to a different one of a plurality of personas.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a message transmitted from a first individual to a second individual via a communication platform may be identified, where the message includes a media item, a hypertext link providing access to the media item, or a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) providing access to the media item. The media item, hypertext link, or URL may be obtained from the message. The media item, hypertext link, or URL may be inserted into a stream associated with the second individual. The stream may be transmitted to the second individual via a media platform.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the system obtains first information pertaining to one or more physical entities with respect to a user. The system creates or updates a profile pertaining to the user based, at least in part, upon the first information. The system provides second information to the user based, at least in part, upon the profile that has been created or updated.

Abstract: A first request for a creation of a social networking space is received, over a network, from a first user. The first request comprises a geospatial location, a start time, and an end time. A social networking space is creating, using a computing device, based on the request. The social networking space comprises facilities for posting messages visible to users signed into the social networking space. A second request is received, over the network, from second user to sign into the social networking space. The second request is transmitted from a mobile device associated with the second user. It is verified, using the computing device, that a first current time falls between the start time and the end time. It is further verified, using the computing device, that a first current geospatial position of the mobile device is within the geospatial location. In response to verifying the first current time and the first current geospatial position, the second user is signed into the social networking space.

Abstract: A first request for a creation of a first social networking space is received. The first request comprises a first geospatial location and an identification of an advertisement, the advertisement being associated with an advertiser and a monetization fee. A social networking space is created based on the request. The social networking space comprises facilities for displaying the advertisement such that the advertisement is visible to users signed into the social networking space. A second request is received from a first user to sign into the first social networking space, such that the second request is transmitted from a mobile device associated with the first user. It is verified, using the computing device, that a current geospatial position of the mobile device is within the first geospatial location. In response to verifying the current geospatial position, the first user is signed into the first social networking space.

Abstract: This invention relates to new compositions and methods for cleaning textile substrates, especially carpet and upholstery fabrics. More particularly, this invention relates to liquid compositions that contain absorbent particles in a flowable fluid dispersion, which dries to a soil ladened powder, that can be removed by vacuuming, brushing, and/or laundering methods. The composition includes dispersion stabilizing additives such that the composition is presented as a stable dispersion or as a composition that may be easily redispersed prior to application.

Abstract: A remote sensor and associated data processor, performs concurrent analysis of backscattered signals from a multi-beam (6-10) acoustic Doppler emitter/receiver (1) positioned against the inside wall of a conveying pipe (2) or channel. Range-gating of the return signals allows independent analysis of discrete volumes of backscattered signal data corresponding to the distribution, concentration and travel velocity of small individual volumes or bins of water and suspended solids (4). Velocity is derived from the measured Doppler frequency shift for each bin. Relative solids concentration is estimated as a function of the measured intensity of the backscattered signals.

Abstract: A caller calls a callback system. If the caller is not a subscriber, the caller is offered a subscription, and if the caller provides proper billing information, the caller becomes a subscriber. When a subscriber calls a callback system, the system identifies the subscriber's ANI and calls the subscriber back. The system connects the subscriber to a destination chosen by the subscriber.
