Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for independently configurable sub-profiles that can be used to express intent within a user profile. A sub-profile is a portion of the user profile that can be assigned an independent set of visibility settings from the other portions of the user profile. A user may add profile data to a sub-profile and select visibility settings for the sub-profile that define access to the profile data included in the sub-profile. Accordingly, access to the profile data included in the sub-profile is managed according to a different set of visibility settings that the profile data included in other portions of the user profile (e.g., profile data not included in the sub-profile). This allows user to make certain profile data available to a different audience of users, either through accessing the user profile and/or through search.

Abstract: A beverage preparation apparatus for preparation of a beverage from a capsule in a clamp assembly (30). The clamp assembly has a first clamp member (31) and a second clamp member, where the inner surfaces of the first clamp member and the second clamp member form a clamp chamber (33) for substantially enclosing and supporting a capsule (10) during beverage preparation. The second clamp member comprises a rigid peripheral frame (32) having a central void and a resilient layer (37) extending across said central void. There is a piston (36) positioned in the central void and resiliently coupled to the peripheral frame (32) to allow limited resilient movement of the rigid peripheral frame (32) relative to the piston (36).

Abstract: A gas turbine engine may include a high pressure compressor coupled to a high pressure turbine by a high pressure shaft, a core combustor located downstream of the high pressure compressor and upstream of the high pressure turbine, and a low pressure compressor provided upstream of the high pressure compressor. The low pressure compressor may be configured to direct core airflow to the high pressure compressor and first bypass airflow which bypasses the high pressure compressor, core combustor and high pressure turbine through a first bypass duct. The engine may further include a mixer downstream of the high pressure turbine and low pressure compressor, the mixer being configured to mix the core and first bypass airflows. The engine also may include a re-heat combustor configured to combust fuel with both core airflow and first bypass airflow.

Abstract: In an example, first and second machine learned models corresponding to a particular context of a social networking service are obtained, the first machine learned model trained via a first machine learning algorithm to output an indication of importance of a social networking profile field to obtaining results in the particular context, and the second machine learned model trained via a second machine learning algorithm to output a propensity of the user to edit a social networking profile field if requested. One or more missing fields in a social networking profile for the user are identified. For each of one or more of the one or more missing fields, the field and an identification of the user are passed through the first and second machine learned models, and outputs of the first and second machine learned models are combined to identify one or more top missing profile fields.
