Patent number: 11042599Abstract: According to an aspect, a method for identifying relevant messages in a conversation graph on a messaging platform includes transmitting, over a network, messages between a plurality of users on the messaging platform, generating a conversation graph based on relationships between the messages, where the conversation graph includes a plurality of messages related to a conversation, and the plurality of messages of the conversation graph include a root message and one or more reply messages connected to the root message. The method includes marking a subset of the plurality of messages of the conversation graph as relevant to the conversation, including marking a message from a user account having a credibility rating over a threshold level, and transmitting, over the network, digital information to render the subset of the plurality of messages on a user interface of a computing device.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Twitter, Inc.Inventors: Ross Cohen, Kyle Maxwell, Stuart Hood, Cara Meverden, Coleen Baik, Marcel Molina

Patent number: 10963468Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for identifying a relevant conversation. The method can include: identifying a conversation graph including identifiers of messages posted by a set of authoring accounts; identifying a relevance score for each authoring account; applying, by a computer processor, a first relevance filter to the conversation graph in order to modify the set of relevance scores; applying, by the computer processor and after applying the first relevance filter, a second relevance filter to the conversation graph in order to further modify the set of relevance scores; selecting, based on the set of relevance scores and after applying the second relevance filter, a subset of messages of the conversation graph for inclusion in the relevant conversation; and providing at least a portion of the relevant conversation to a client device.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Twitter, Inc.Inventors: Marcel Molina, Ross Cohen, Kyle Maxwell, Stuart Hood, Cara Meverden, Coleen Baik

Patent number: 10891348Abstract: A method and system for identifying relevant messages in a conversation graph includes identifying a context message within the conversation graph. The context message is marked as relevant and additional messages are marked as relevant based on various criteria. A plurality of authors of messages marked as relevant is identified and a plurality of unmarked messages authored by the plurality of authors is marked as relevant. In addition, a plurality of parent messages of messages marked as relevant are identified and marked as relevant. A list comprising messages marked as relevant is then provided to a user. Multiple steps can be repeated until convergence after which the list can be provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Twitter, Inc.Inventors: Ross Cohen, Kyle Maxwell, Stuart Hood, Cara Meverden, Coleen Baik, Marcel Molina

Publication number: 20160324363Abstract: The invention is comprised of a rotating glass coffee bean gas flame torrefaction drum which roasts and rapidly grinds fresh coffee beans. This feeds a brewing device designed to accelerate making solid ice as quickly as possible in order to arrest the hydrolysis kinetics of 2-furfuryrlthiol. The heat exchanger portion has exceptionally high surface area heat exchanger coils. Higher mass exchange of the device prevent specific chemical component flavor loss. In addition, the torrefaction process in the glass drum attached to the device with rapid grinding process allows for much higher levels of 2-furfurylthiol in ice cubes. The glass allows visualization of the flame. The consumer enjoys of the product visually and by smell prior to product consumption.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2015Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventor: Ross Cohen

Patent number: 9418117Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for displaying relevant messages of a conversation graph. A reverse chronological stream of messages broadcasted to a recipient account of a messaging platform is received. The set of authoring accounts having a predefined graph relationship with the recipient account. Among the stream of messages, a message determined to be a part of a relevant conversation is identified. Additional content associated with the conversation is then inserted into the stream. A client displaying the stream displays the conversation related content with one or more display elements depicting relationships among messages of the conversation.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Twitter, Inc.Inventors: Marcel Molina, Ross Cohen, Kyle Maxwell, Stuart Hood, Cara Meverden, Coleen Baik, Arya Asemanfar, Erin Moore

Patent number: 7793157Abstract: The subject matter herein provides for a method and apparatus for comparison of network systems using live traffic in real-time. The inventive technique presents real-world workload in real-time with no external impact (i.e. no impact on the system under test), and it enables comparison against a production system for correctness verification. A preferred embodiment of the invention is a testing tool for the pseudo-live testing of CDN content staging servers, According to the invention, traffic between clients and the live production CDN servers is monitored by a simulator device, which then replicates this workload onto a system under test (SUT). The simulator detects divergences between the outputs from the SUT and live production servers, allowing detection of erroneous behavior. To the extent possible, the SUT is completely isolated from the outside world so that errors or crashes by this system do not affect either the CDN customers or the end users. Thus, the SUT does not interact with end users (i.e.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shannon T.
