Patent number: 11436521Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can determine one or more actions that a user is likely to take on a page associated with a social networking system, based on one or more first machine learning models. One or more card types that correspond to the one or more actions can be ranked based on a second machine learning model. One or more cards can be generated based on the ranked card types, and each card can include a recommended action associated with the page.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Apaorn Tanglertsampan, Hannah Marie Hemmaplardh, Deepak Chinavle, Nigel Carter, Brendon Elias Manwaring, Bradley Ray Green

Patent number: 10142697Abstract: Various enhanced interactive TV experiences are supported by a real-time TV service that can interact over a network with applications running on interactive TV platforms. The real-time television service enables data, video, and communication user interface (UI) elements to be supported alongside the linear TV content in three discrete navigational states, each with a specific role aligning to user intent. In the case of one particular UI element—a focused companion panel—a live stream of personalized data is supported that enhances the user's comprehension and awareness of live events. The real-time TV service can further enable users to opt in to certain customizable events and be served notifications on the TV screen on which their attention is directed, and follow the notification into an application that lands them on a specific piece of content that satisfies specific conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tyler Bielman, Helen Lam, Michelle Tze Hiang Chua, Shannon Yen Yun Lee, Matthew Nigel Carter, Matthew Davy Walsh, David Seymour, Preetinderpal S.

Patent number: 9749701Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for enhancing a linear broadcast of a network television program by automatically displaying alerts over the linear broadcast relating to web content determined to be of interest to the linear broadcast or user. The alert may include a link such that, once actioned upon, web content may be presented to the user in addition to the linear broadcast or in the place of the linear broadcast.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: William Michael Mozell, David Seymour, Henry Stuart Denison Watson, Sang Young Park, Matthew Nigel Carter

Patent number: 5776001Abstract: The invention relates to thread formation and particularly to the formation of threads on deformed steel reinforcing rods. The method of forming a thread on the steel reinforcing rod comprises the steps of cold upsetting an end region (1) of a deformed steel reinforcing rod having a nominal diameter, the upsetting being arranged to increase the diameter of the end region to a new, upset, diameter greater than the nominal diameter, rolling a thread onto the end region (1) so as to produce a threaded region having a thread major diameter which is greater than the nominal diameter and a thread minor diameter which is less than the nominal diameter. The formation of such a thread enables the production of mechanical connections between pairs of rods, the connections having a strength greater than that of the rods being connected to one another.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1996Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: CCL Systems LimitedInventor: Nigel Carter
