Abstract: When using Web intelligence (“Webint”) to collect information regarding a target social network user, one of the most valuable pieces of information is the target user's List-Of-Friends (LOF). In some cases, however, the LOF of the target user is not accessible in his profile. Herein are described methods and systems for identifying the LOF of a target user. An analysis system crawls the profiles of social network users, other than the target user, and reconstructs the LOF of the target user from the crawled profiles.

Abstract: A device which maintains exit temperature of hot air from a hair dryer passing through a nozzle attachment seated on the hair dryer. The hair dryer heats air and blows it out of an opening, with the nozzle attachment seated on the hair dryer opening. The nozzle attachment channels the heated air from the hair dryer opening to and out of a narrowed slotted opening in the nozzle attachment. The device comprises a heat conductive element configured to be securely seated on an interior surface of the nozzle attachment at a position adjacent the narrow slotted opening in the nozzle attachment without substantially impeding heated air from exiting the slotted opening. The heat conductive element is of sufficient dimensions to substantially maintain hot air exit temperature from the hair dryer opening as it exits the slotted opening of the nozzle attachment, without significant heating of the nozzle attachment.

Abstract: A response activity pattern may be ascertained from a set of computing devices obtained during a monitoring mode of operation. The monitoring mode of operation can be initiated when a user command is determined to be a new or unknown command The response activity pattern may be used to generate a response profile indicating an activity to carry out using one or more user devices to perform a task associated with the user command. When an indication of a previously unknown user command to perform a task is received, the generated response profile can be used to perform the designed task by carrying out the activity using the one or more user device. In this way, the activity that should be carried out to perform the task can be learned based on the monitored user activity related to the one or more user devices.
