Abstract: Search results may include both objective results and person results. In one example, a search query is evaluated to determine whether it is the type of query that a user might want to ask to a friend. If the query is of such a type, then the search engine may examine a social graph to determine which friends of the user who entered the query may have information that is relevant to answering the query. If such friends exist, then the friends may be displayed along with objective search results, along with an explanation of each friend's relevance to the query. Clicking on a person in the results may cause a conversation to be initiated with that person, thereby allowing the user who entered the query to ask his or her friend about the subject of the query.

Abstract: A delay-locked loop (DLL) which receives a reference clock signal and outputs an output clock signal is provided. The DLL includes a phase detector, a delay chain, an anti-false lock (AFL) circuit, and a loop filter. The phase detector outputs a first comparison signal according to a phase comparison between the reference clock signal and the output clock signal. The delay chain generates a plurality of strobe clock signals and the output clock signal by delaying the reference clock signal for different intervals. The AFL circuit outputs a second comparison signal according to a phase comparison between the reference clock signal and the strobe clock signals. The loop filter controls the delay time of the output clock signal according to the first and the second comparison signals in order to lock the delay time of the output clock signal at a preset value.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enhance the search experience of a user by looking at the search history of one or more friends to provide search enhancements to the user. The search enhancements may also be based on information within a user's online social network. Search enhancements based on the user's online social network include identifying people within the user's social network that may have information relevant to a query, posts within the social network that are relevant to the query, and feed items. Examples of search enhancements include an annotation or graphic adjacent to a search result indicating the search result has been visited by one of the user's friends. In another aspect, alternative queries from the friends' search history may be suggested to the user during the search session.

Abstract: A metal loaded catalyst comprises a support and main active metal components and optional auxiliary active metal components, wherein the main active metal components are elementary substances and obtained by ionizing radiation reducing precursors of main active metal components. The catalyst can be widely used in the catalytic reactions of petrochemistry industry with high activity and selectivity. The catalyst can be used directly without being reduced preliminarily by hydrogen.

Abstract: Methods are provided for treating conditions characterized by dysfunction in protein homeostasis in a patient in need thereof. A method for treating a condition characterized by dysfunction in protein homeostasis in a patient in need thereof is provided which comprises administering to the patient a proteostasis regulator in an amount effective to improve or restore protein homeostasis, and to reduce or eliminate the condition in the patient or to prevent its occurrence or recurrence. The condition can be a loss of function disorder such as a lysosomal storage disease, or a gain of function disorder such as an aging associated disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for selectively hydrogenating C2-C10 greater unsaturated hydrocarbons (acetylenes and diolefins) at the upstream side of a front depropanizer or front deethanizer in an olefin production plant. After passing through a mixed phase hydrogenation reactor to selectively hydrogenate, the olefin plant process stream passes to a front depropanizer or front deethanizer. The process according to the present invention is able to selectively hydrogenate C2-C10 greater unsaturated hydrocarbons (including acetylene), to reduce the number of equipments, the amount of equipment fouling and the energy consumption.

Abstract: A selective hydrogenation catalyst for the seletive hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, a process for preparing this catalyst and its use. The catalyst of the invention comprises a support, active component Pd, rare earth metals, and auxiliary metal Bi, Ag etc. The catalyst is able to hydrogenate high-unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkyne with high selectivity at high space velocity while both green oil formation and carbon deposition on the catalyst are very low. It is applicable to an industrial cracking process.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for helping to protect a vehicle occupant (15) includes an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (20), an inflator (30), and a cover (40) for the protection device (20). The inflator (30) provides inflation fluid to inflate the protection device (20). The cover (40) has side walls (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d) and a front wall (44) for positioning between the vehicle occupant (15) and the protection device (20). The cover (40) has at least one strong tear seam (50) and at least one weak tear seam (60). The weak tear seam (60) tears when subjected to a first force by the protection device (20). The strong tear seam (50) tears when subjected to a second force by the protection device (20). The second force is larger than the first force. The strong and weak tear seams (50, 60) are located so that a first portion (22) of the protection device (20) initially ruptures the weak tear seams (60). The protection device (20) initially deploys primarily laterally relative to the vehicle occupant (15).

Abstract: An apparatus (12) comprises a first steering column member (40) rotatable about a first axis (26) and a steering wheel (20) mounted on the first steering column member. A second steering column member (100) is connected with the first steering column member (40) so that rotation of the first steering column member about the first axis (26) causes rotation of the second steering column member. The first and second steering column members (40 and 100) have a telescoping relationship and have axially overlapped portions (70, 108). An air bag module (30) is mounted on the steering wheel (20) and includes an inflatable air bag (32). An actuatable device (90) emits gas which causes the first and second steering column members (40 and 100) to telescope together and causes at least a portion of the air bag module (30) to move away from the vehicle driver as the air bag (32) is inflated.
