Abstract: The system provides a method and apparatus for generating a profile of a first user, where the profile comprises interaction parameters associated with the user. The system can generate a profile of a second user, also comprising interaction parameters of the second user. The system can then provide suggestions to either or both the first and second user for interacting with each other.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a list of selective contacts are described. An address book of the user may be stored on a relational database to free up the memory space occupied by the address book. Further, selection parameters for evaluation of the plurality of contacts are determined. A plurality of contacts is filtered, based on the determined selection parameters, to generate a first set of selective contacts. Thereafter, dynamic filtering parameters are identified and based on the dynamic filtering parameters, the first set of selective contacts are filtered to generate a second set of selective contacts, wherein the second set of selective contacts are stored in the memory space of the device, and wherein the second set of selective contacts are available to the user for utilization for a predetermined time period.

Abstract: An abradable coating includes a matrix and particles that are dispersed in the matrix, the particles being made of a material switching into a fluid phase under the effect of the increase in temperature upon contact between a tip of a blading and the abradable coating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an abradable coating for a turbine engine part, characterized by the fact that said coating includes a layer made of an abradable material, the surface asperities of which are filled with thermally bonded ceramic grains, forming a smooth, free surface having a low roughness.

Abstract: A testing environment in which offline simulations can be run to identify policies and/or prediction models that result in more valuable content being included in content pages is described herein. For example, the offline simulations can be run in an application executed by an experiment device using data gathered by a production content delivery system. The simulation application can test any number of different policies and/or prediction models without impacting users that use a production content delivery system to request content.

Abstract: A system uses a trained classifier to identify or predict the item attributes of an item depicted in an image, and compares these attributes to those specified in a corresponding item description. The system may, for example, be used to verify the accuracy of listings submitted by users to an electronic catalog. For example, if an item description submitted by a user does not specify all of the item attributes identified from the item image(s) submitted by the user, the system may generate a suggested edit to the item description.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an abradable coating of varying density, and such an abradable coating of varying density. According to the invention, the method comprises the following steps: providing a substrate (32) having a first portion with its surface situated at a first level (A), and a second portion with its surface situated at a second level (B) different from the first level; depositing a precursor material on the first and second portions of the substrate (32); compressing the precursor material between the substrate and a bearing surface; and sintering the precursor material as compressed in this way in order to obtain an abradable coating (36) having a first portion (36a) on the first portion of the substrate, and possessing a first density, and a second portion (36b) on the second portion of the substrate, and possessing a second density distinct from the first.

Abstract: A material for a component of a vehicle seat. The material includes a cover layer and a foam layer.

Abstract: A device applies a coating to a surface of an turbomachine annular casing, wherein the casing has an abradable layer obtained by polymerising a resin. The device includes first support means and, optionally, second automated means movable relative to the first support means. The automated means includes means for depositing said resin on the surface of the casing. The automated means further includes means for spreading the resin on the surface of the casing, and means for unwinding a plastic film that is intended to be interposed between said spreading means and the resin.

Abstract: Technologies for optimized selection of content for delivery to a user that both optimizes the expected return from the delivery of the content to the user and that enables exploration of delivery of new content to users are disclosed. Content is selected for delivery to a user based on an exploitation score that defines an estimate of the feedback expected from the delivery of the content to the user and an exploration score that varies inversely with the number of times that the content has been transmitted to all users. The use of the exploration score enables the exploration of delivery of new content to users. The content might be delivered via e-mail messages, a web site, or using another mechanism.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an abradable coating of varying density, and an abradable coating of varying density. The method comprises the following steps: providing a substrate having a first portion and a second portion; depositing a first precursor material on the first portion of the substrate compressing the first precursor material between the substrate and a first bearing surface; sintering the first precursor material as compressed in this way in order to obtain a first abradable coating portion on the first portion of the substrate, and possessing a first density; depositing a second precursor material on the second portion of the substrate; and compressing the second precursor material between the substrate and a second bearing surface.

Abstract: A system that verifies the attributes included in the description of an item using artificial intelligence is provided. For example, the system may use a feature extractor to identify color, shape, and/or texture features of a provided image. The system may then use a linear classifier to process the extracted features to identify attributes of the item depicted in the image. The system may compare the identified attributes with the attributes listed in the item's description. If there are any discrepancies, the system may revise the item description to include the identified attributes or provide suggested revisions to a user based on the identified attributes.
