20160142354 | RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OF SOCIAL NETWORK APPLICATIONS - Applications in social networks support interaction between members through various types of channels such as notifications, newsfeed, and so forth. For each channel, applications are ranked based on their user affinity measures. User affinity is based on measuring positive and negative interactions by users as both senders and recipients of messages generated by applications. Metrics are computed for the different types of messages and interactions provided by applications. For each channel, an application receives user affinity score based on specific weighted combination of the metrics. Applications use channel resources to send messages to increase their user base. Given the large number of applications that are available, the extent to which applications are allowed to use channels is controlled, limiting their resource consumption. User affinity scores of applications calculated for a channel are used to decide the allocation of channel resources for an application. | 05-19-2016 |

The step is pivotal from a generally horizontally oriented deployed position to a vertically oriented retracted position. A retained includes a pair of resilient clamp members. Each clamp member engages the step and is deflected towards a corresponding one of the end plates as the step is moved into the retracted position. Each end plate engages the corresponding clamp member to limit deflection of the clamp member. | 04-24-2014 |
20140116658 | VEHICLE COOLING SYSTEM - A vehicle cooling system includes a fan, a first heat exchanger, an upper heat exchanger and a lower heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is spaced apart in front of the fan. The upper heat exchanger is positioned between a top portion of the fan and a top portion of the first heat exchanger. The lower heat exchanger is positioned between a bottom portion of the fan and a bottom portion of the first heat exchanger. A structural frame supports the first, top and lower heat exchangers, and the frame forming a fan shroud which surrounds the fan. | 05-01-2014 |

20110062172 | Apparatus for guiding motion of a receptacle - The present invention relates to a handle replacement apparatus, for guiding motion of a receptacle using an arm or forearm in place of a hand, without need for a handle. The apparatus comprises a receptacle retainer of varying dimensions and at least one handle replacement element extendable laterally outwardly from the receptacle retainer and connected thereto. The handle replacement element is dimensioned to rest on a user's arm or forearm, and to be engageable therewith, so that in use, positioning for guided motion at varying angles is directed by the user's arm or forearm. A kit comprising a receptacle retainer, a handle replacement element and means for connecting the handle replacement element to the retainer are disclosed. Methods of using the apparatus and the kit are also disclosed. | 03-17-2011 |

20140178954 | EXPRESSION OF XYLOSE ISOMERASE ACTIVITY IN YEAST - Expression of a xylose isomerase in a yeast cell that expresses the chaperonins GroES and GroEL was found to result in enzymatically active xylose isomerase, while there is little to no activity with expression of the bacterial xylose isomerase in a yeast cell lacking GroES and GroEL. A yeast cell expressing xylose isomerase activity, and a complete xylose utilization pathway, provides a yeast cell that can produce a target compound, such as ethanol, butanol, or 1,3-propanediol, using xylose derived from lignocellulosic biomass as a carbon source. | 06-26-2014 |

20140222132 | PERCUTANEOUS ENDOPROSTHESIS USING SUPRARENAL FIXATION AND BARBED ANCHORS - An endoprosthetic device for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms using suprarenal fixation. A stent ring is anchored in an area above the renal arties using self-flaring barbs that project during the nitinol expansion process. Sutures extend from the stent ring to an area below the renal arties to a bifurcated trunk portion comprising a nitinol fabric on a non-kinking frame. The bifurcated trunk is sealed proximal the iliac arteries and includes iliac leg holders having self-flaring retention struts for non-traumatic holding of iliac leg prosthetics. Suprarenal fixation and collapsible cells having retention projections and barbs that only flare during the nitinol expansion process assist in lowering the devices profile and sheathability for percutaneous delivery and may provide for recapturing the anchored device. | 08-07-2014 |

20140277340 | Hemostasis Valve and Delivery Systems - A hemostasis valve includes a longitudinal valve housing, a gasket, a grip assembly and an interference element. A x-valve includes a valve housing, at least one sealing component and a support layer. Stent graft delivery systems include a handle, an internal lead screw assembly, a lead screw nut, a support member fixed to the handle body, a sheath and a hemostasis valve. | 09-18-2014 |
20160081787 | VASCULAR REPAIR DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE - A vascular repair device assembly includes a main prostheses, first internal prostheses, an optional second internal prostheses, and at least two sub-prostheses. Methods for delivering vascular repair devices include delivering a vascular repair device through a blood vessel to the aneurysm site, aligning a proximal open end of a main prosthesis cranially to the site of the aneurysm patient and directing a distal end of at least one additional one vascular repair device through a proximal end of at least a first internal lumen, and aligning the proximal end of the additional vascular repair device into a distal end of the at least one sub-prosthesis. | 03-24-2016 |

20140044318 | Spoof Detection for Biometric Authentication - This specification describes technologies relating to biometric authentication based on images of the eye. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include obtaining images of a subject including a view of an eye. The methods may further include determining a behavioral metric based on detected movement of the eye as the eye appears in a plurality of the images, determining a spatial metric based on a distance from a sensor to a landmark that appears in a plurality of the images each having a different respective focus distance, and determining a reflectance metric based on detected changes in surface glare or specular reflection patterns on a surface of the eye. The methods may further include determining a score based on the behavioral, spatial, and reflectance metrics and rejecting or accepting the one or more images based on the score. | 02-13-2014 |
