Patent number: 11537273Abstract: An online system presents a content item to users and receives selections of reaction icons from the users. The online system generates a background animation with the selected reaction icons and a foreground animation to be layered on top of the background animation. The online system sends the background and foreground animations to a client device to be cached. Further, the online system presents the content item to a viewing user associated with the client device and receives a selection of a reaction icon from the viewing user. The online system selects a subset of the users based on the viewing user's affinity to the users, retrieves images of the selected users, and send the images to the client device. The client device customizes the background and foreground animations based on the images and the viewing user's reaction icon to generate a compound animation for display to the viewing user.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Robert Benson Walton, Zachary W. Stubenvoll, Julia Harter Toffey, Skyler Bock, Silvia Chyou, Jordan Richard Honnette, Wei-Sheng Su, Jerod Wanner, Stefan Casey Parker, Renyu Liu, Rajat Bhardwaj

Patent number: 11295504Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive render instructions for rendering an animation. The animation comprises a plurality of layers, each layer comprising one or more layer properties, and a first dynamic property to be defined at runtime prior to rendering the animation. The first dynamic property is mapped to a first set of layer properties of the one or more layer properties. A first dynamic property value is received for the first dynamic property. The first set of layer properties are defined based on the first dynamic property value. The animation is rendered on a computing device based on the render instructions and the first dynamic property value.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Robert Alexander Allen, Jr., Michael O'Brien, Nicholas J.

Patent number: 9670264Abstract: Described herein are recombinant integral membrane proteins having multiple transmembrane domains that have been engineered to be less hydrophobic, through alteration of the amino acid sequence of the native protein, but retain the ability to bind their natural ligand. The decreased hydrophobicity of the described proteins makes them more water soluble than the native protein, which allows the described proteins to be expressed in bacteria in large quantities and isolated in the absence of membranes, all while retaining the ability to interact with known ligands.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: The Trustees Of The University Of PennsylvaniaInventors: Renyu Liu, Jeffery G Saven, Jose Manuel Perez-Aguilar, Felipe Matsunaga, Jin Xi
