Abstract: A system and method for generating a stream of content with candidate content items associated with a likelihood of being interesting to a user. A model generation engine generates a model for a user. A scoring engine obtains candidate content items and compares candidate content items to a model to determine the most interesting content items. A user interface engine organizing first and second content items in a first direction and a third content item in a second direction. The user interface engine receives feedback that includes a request for additional content items or a request to remove an interest associated with a selected content item from the model. The model generation engine updates the model in response to feedback.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a stream of content for a channel. The channel application includes a content categorizer, a scoring engine and a channel engine. The content categorizer categorizes new content items received from heterogeneous data sources. The channel engine identifies a channel category for a user based at least in part on at least one of a historical trend and a user activity. The scoring engine queries the new content items based on the channel category and at least one other channel attribute. The scoring engine retrieves candidate content items that include the channel category and the other channel attribute. The scoring engine then generates a stream of content from the candidate content items for the channel.

Abstract: Embodiments include storing, using one or more computing devices, at least one image associated with each of a plurality of videos. Embodiments may also include transmitting instructions configured to display a plurality of video interfaces, each of the plurality of video interfaces configured to display an initial image of one of the plurality of videos at a first time, the initial image being different at each of the plurality of video interfaces. Embodiments may also include allowing a first transition from a display of the initial image at the first time to a display of a second image at a second time at one of the plurality of video interfaces. Embodiments may further include allowing a second transition from a display of the initial image at the second time to a display of a third image at a third time at a second of the plurality of video interfaces.

Abstract: A time domain reflectometry (“TDR”) testing method that includes storing test data resulted from a TDR test applied on an electronic component, displaying the test data, identifying a distinctive portion of the test data corresponding to a defective location in the electronic component, modifying the distinctive portion of the test data, and computing the modified test data to verify whether a predetermined requirement is satisfied.

Abstract: The invention provides a substrate layout method and structure of a ball grid array to reduce cross talk of adjacent signals. The substrate comprises a plurality of signal pads formed on a die, a ring around the die, and a plurality of signal fingers around the ring. The substrate layout method for reducing cross talk of adjacent signals is as follows: First, forming a guard pad between two adjacent signal pads. Second, forming a guard finger between two adjacent signal fingers. Next, forming a bonding wire to connect the guard pad to the ring. Then, forming another bonding wire to connect the ring to the guard finger. Subsequently, forming a guard trace to connect the guard finger to a via at the edge of the substrate, and connecting the guard trace to a short-circuiting place through the via.
