  • Generating content items for presentation to online system users from content included on a page maintained by the online system
    Patent number: 10489171
    Abstract: An online system maintains a page of content for a user that includes content provided to the online system by the user. To allow the user to more easily present content items to other online system users, the online system receives an objective specifying a desired interaction by users presented with the content item from the user and generates a set of content items from content included on the page. One or more content items of the set are selected and a budget for presenting the selected one or more content items is received, and the online system includes one or more of the selected content items in selection processes along with bid amounts based on the budget that select content for presentation to other users. The online system may update the selected content items of the set over time as content included on the page is modified.

  • Method of making a tubular body for a catheter, sheath or lead
    Patent number: 7824517
    Abstract: A method of forming a tubular body for a catheter, sheath or lead comprises extruding a polymer core having an integrally formed core wall, first lumen, and second lumen, placing a first layer over an outer circumferential surface of the extruded polymer core, and bonding the first layer to the circumferential surface of the extruded polymer cover via a reflow process. The first and second lumens are mandrel free during the reflow process, and a temperature of the reflow process is below a softening point of the polymer core to maintain a collapse free first and second lumen.
