20080276613 | DISCRETE VARIABLE GEOMETRY COMPRESSOR - A variable geometry compressor having a housing, a compressor wheel and a plurality of vanes positioned between an exducer of the compressor wheel and a housing volute. The vanes are adjustable through a range of positions, but a vane actuation system is configured to actuate the vanes through three discrete positions from among the range of positions. The actuation system has an actuator that includes an actuator housing containing a diaphragm that divides a housing chamber into two portions. Through the application of a vacuum to either chamber portion, the diaphragm drives a rod to actuate the vanes between two of the discrete vane positions, while a spring returns the vanes to the third position when no vacuum is applied. The actuator is controlled by an open-loop controller. | 11-13-2008 |

20110093472 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DETERMINE AGGREGATED SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS - Some aspects include determination of a first relationship between a first entity and a second entity, determination of a first trust coefficient associated with the first relationship based on a first generation rule, determination of a second relationship between the first entity and the second entity, determination of a second trust coefficient associated with the second relationship based on a second generation rule, and determination of a trust value of an aggregated relationship between the first entity and the second entity based on the first trust coefficient and the second trust coefficient. In some aspects, it is determined that the trust value exceeds a threshold, the aggregated relationship is presented to the first entity, a confirmation of the aggregated relationship is received from the first entity, and at least one of the first generation rule and the second generation rule is changed based on the confirmation. | 04-21-2011 |
20120095996 | SEARCH IN A MULTI-RELATIONSHIP SOCIAL NETWORK - Some aspects include reception, from an entity, of a search query to identify entities, determination of one or more entity clusters associated with the entity, determination of a search result based on the search query, the search result including two or more result entities, and presentation of the two or more result entities in an order based on the one or more entity clusters. | 04-19-2012 |
