  • Publication number: 20180295207
    Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions, and a computer-implemented method described herein are directed to a Quality Endorsement Engine. The Quality Endorsement Engine extracts content portions from content, accessible on a social network service, associated with a first member account. The Quality Endorsement Engine identifies at least one pre-defined skills identifier that corresponds to a respective topic of a respective content portion. The Quality Endorsement Engine determines that a second member account satisfies at least one quality endorser requirement with respect to the first member account. The Quality Endorsement Engine generates an endorsement prompt for the second member account. The Quality Endorsement Engine causes concurrent display of the content and the endorsement prompt in a social network content feed of the second member account in a user interface of a client device associated with the second member account.

  • Patent number: 7914568
    Abstract: A stent-graft which is particularly useful for applications in biliary ducts. An expandable stent is provided with a covering of a material which is substantially impervious to body fluids and tissue ingrowth and has an increased resistance to bacterial attachment due to its lack of porosity and reduced surface texture. A preferred covering is porous PTFE film rendered substantially non-porous by a coating of a polymeric material such as FEP. The resulting stent has a thin wall for minimum pre-deployment diameter and for minimum interference with fluid flow through the device after implantation. It has good flexibility, allowing its use in curved ducts.
