Patent number: 11443005Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described herein for unsupervised clustering of browser history using web navigational activities. For example, correlation scores are calculated that indicate correlations between web pages indicated in a browsing history of a user. Moreover, the correlation scores are calculated based on web navigational activities determined from the browsing history. In addition, the web pages are clustered into a plurality of clusters based on the correlation scores and the clusters are ranked for relevancy to the user based on a relevancy algorithm. The relevancy algorithm determines a likelihood that a user will access a corresponding web page for each web page of a cluster. A cluster having a greatest ranking is identified and an indication of a web page of the identified cluster as a suggested web page to revisit is provided to a user.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Ken M.

Patent number: 11103255Abstract: A reamer operably connected to a movable drive element by a translation assembly such that the movement of the movable drive element rotates the reamer. The reamer can be sized such that the reamer can be navigated through or around soft tissue to position the reamer adjacent the defect region and angled to align the reamer with a reamer axis perpendicular to the plane of the defect region. The translation assembly can be configured to translate rotation of the movable drive element to the reamer through an opening through or around the soft tissue. The translation assembly can permit axial reaming of the defect region when the perpendicular axis is obscured by soft tissue.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Rolfe Hopkins, Philippe Favre

Publication number: 20200097912Abstract: Techniques of selective surfacing email messages in computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes calculating an importance value corresponding to an incoming email based on one or more values of attributes of the incoming email and corresponding contribution values of the features toward the importance value. The method can then include performing a comparison between the calculated importance value of the incoming email and a preset importance threshold and, based on the performed comparison, selectively surfacing the incoming email to the user in a first section of an email inbox irrespective of a date/time of reception of the incoming email relative to other emails in the inbox.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2018Publication date: March 26, 2020Inventors: Philippe Favre, Huy Q.

Patent number: 8249999Abstract: Systems are provided for costing service proposals, each comprising a set of proposal elements (OEs) selected from a predetermined group of proposal elements. A proposal costing system has a proposal formulator for selecting a set of proposal elements (OEs) for a new service proposal from the predetermined group of proposal elements in response to user input. The system includes a cost controller for maintaining, for each OE, service data indicative of service tasks associated with that proposal element. The system is adapted for determining a total cost for a new service proposal in dependence on the service data for the selected proposal elements and cost data indicating a cost of service tasks indicated by the service data. In addition, the cost controller is adapted for automatically updating the service data for OEs in the group in dependence on maintenance data indicative of service tasks performed in operation of real services.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2004Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bernard Dakar, Philippe Favre, Patrick Gayrard, Emmanuel Lancon

Patent number: 7590138Abstract: A method and system for routing channels in which messages are transmitted from a source application to a destination application. The system includes a finite-state machine, source message queues, and a source queue manager for managing the source message queues. The source message queues include a transmission queue for holding a first message for subsequent transmission of the first message from the transmission queue over a first channel to a local queue of the destination application. The method includes: activating the finite-state machine; and performing or not performing a channel routing action, by the finite-state machine, depending on: a channel event having caused the first channel to be started or stopped, a channel sender set for the first channel, and an event type characterizing the channel event as normal or abnormal. The channel routing action is a function of the channel event, the channel sender, and the event type.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2004Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patrick Benard, Philippe Favre

Patent number: 5623742Abstract: A motor vehicle screen wiper comprises a screen wiper arm having a drive head fastened on an end portion of a motor shaft, which is part of a screen wiper drive unit. The motor shaft end portion comprises a conical portion which is received in a complementary through hole associated with the drive head, and which is extended by a threaded terminal shank on to which a fastening nut is screwed. The radial thrust face of the nut cooperates with a portion, in facing relationship with it, of the upper face of the drive head. The drive head comprises an orientation ring in which the conical through hole is formed, with one face of the orientation ring being formed with a set of ridges which cooperate with a complementary ridged engagement surface formed, in facing relationship with the ridged face of the orientation ring, on the body of the drive head. The body is formed with an oblong through hole through which the end portion of the motor shaft extends.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1995Date of Patent: April 29, 1997Assignee: Paul Journee, S.A.Inventors: Maurice Journee, Philippe Favre
