  • Patent number: 11343218
    Abstract: A disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) receiving, from a participant of a discovery service of a social networking system, a request for a friend of the participant to assist the participant in making connections with other participants of the discovery service, (2) identifying at least one set of information that is associated with the discovery service and that is designated as private to the participant, and (3) providing the friend of the participant with access to at least a portion of the set of information via a recommendation interface that enables the friend of the participant to make recommendations to the participant regarding the set of information to assist the participant in making connections with other participants of the discovery service. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20130335094
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for determining the charge of a battery are disclosed. Embodiments include determining the charge in batteries that exhibit mass diffusion during charging or discharging, such as by evaluating the response of the battery to vibration. Alternate embodiments include evaluating the amplitude response of the battery and the phase shift response of the battery. Still other embodiment include evaluating the H11 response of the battery to vibration. Further embodiment include vibrating the battery, for example, with a chirp frequency that may be in the acoustic range. Still further embodiments include performing a Fourier analysis of the battery response to vibration.
