Method Of Predicting And Optimizing Production

View page
US Patent:
6611735, Aug 26, 2003
Filed:
Nov 17, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/441964
Inventors:
Timothy J. Henly - Maidens VA
Thomas Patrick Stocky - Glen Allen VA
Assignee:
Ethyl Corporation - Richmond VA
International Classification:
G05B 2100
US Classification:
700266, 700 31, 700 44, 700272, 702 27, 702 30
Abstract:
A process for the prediction and the optimization of the output of a plant producing products form incoming materials. The incoming materials are classified according to various physical characteristics and costs. The desired or ordered products are also classified according to price and physical requirements. The incoming materials information and the product information is entered into a database which is accessible by a computing device. The computing device then calculates the optimal production process by calculating a plurality of production cycles and selecting the cycle with the optimum profitability. The computing device is programmed with non-linear equations derived from a regressive analysis of data collected from samples of incoming materials and products.

US Patent:
20170318024, Nov 2, 2017
Filed:
Jul 20, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/655461
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
Samuel Lessin - San Francisco CA, US
Thomas Stocky - Los Altos CA, US
Michael Vernal - San Francisco CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
H04L 12/58
H04L 12/58
H04L 12/58
G06F 17/27
H04L 12/58
G06F 17/24
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client device of an author of a message, a request for a restricted ideogram to be inserted into a message; accessing social-networking information for the author; determining, based on the social-networking information for the author, whether the author is authorized to access the restricted ideogram; accessing social-networking information for a recipient user; determining, based on the social-networking information for the recipient user, whether the recipient user is authorized to access the restricted ideogram; and if the author and the recipient user are authorized to access the restricted ideogram, then sending, to the client device of the author, information to insert the restricted ideogram into the message.

US Patent:
20170063870, Mar 2, 2017
Filed:
Nov 14, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/350597
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
Samuel Lessin - San Francisco CA, US
Thomas Stocky - Los Altos CA, US
Michael Vernal - San Francisco CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
H04L 12/58

US Patent:
20160019263, Jan 21, 2016
Filed:
Sep 25, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/866526
Inventors:
Ken Taro Deeter - San Carlos CA, US
Thomas Stocky - Los Altos CA, US
Robyn David Morris - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Facebook, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
Abstract:
A user saves a structured query defining connections between two or more objects maintained by a social networking system. The social networking system finds objects matching the structured query, either by periodically performing searches for new objects or by analyzing objects as they are added or modified. The user creating the saved query can subsequently view the matching objects.

Ordering Of Bookmarks For Objects In A Social Networking System

View page
US Patent:
20160019307, Jan 21, 2016
Filed:
Sep 25, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/866568
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
Ken Deeter - San Francisco CA, US
Thomas Stocky - Los Altos CA, US
Robyn David Morris - San Francisco CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
G06F 17/22
Abstract:
A social networking system analyzes a user's interactions with objects linked to bookmarks associated with the user to generate a score for each bookmark. The score represents or is based on the probability that the user will access the bookmark or the linked object. For example, the score is a predicted click-through rate for the bookmark. Based on the scores, a subset of the bookmarks is selected for presentation to the user. Additionally, the scores may be used to order the selected subset of the bookmarks. Hence, the bookmarks that the user is most likely to access are presented while the bookmarks the user is less likely to access may be hidden.

Ideograms For Captured Expressions

View page
US Patent:
20150220774, Aug 6, 2015
Filed:
Feb 5, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/173447
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
Samuel Lessin - San Francisco CA, US
Thomas Stocky - Los Altos CA, US
Michael Vernal - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Facebook, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
Abstract:
Particular embodiments of a method comprise analyzing an image to classify an expression displayed on a face shown in a captured image. Image analysis may include detecting the face in the image, generating a characterization of features of the face, and classifying the expression based on the characterization. The characterization of facial features may be based on benchmark metrics for a particular expression. One or more ideograms (e.g., written characters, symbols or images that represent an idea or thing) may be selected based on the expression. The selection may be based on one or more match scores for the expression. The match scores may be determined based on an ideogram dictionary or an ideogram usage history. The selected ideograms may then be presented, in association with the face, on a screen for the computing device.

Ideograms Based On Sentiment Analysis

View page
US Patent:
20150222586, Aug 6, 2015
Filed:
Feb 5, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/173470
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
Samuel Lessin - San Francisco CA, US
Thomas Stocky - Los Altos CA, US
Michael Vernal - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Facebook, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/58
G06F 3/0482
Abstract:
Particular embodiments of a method comprise analyzing a message to perform sentiment analysis with respect to at least a portion of the message. One or more sentiments associated with the at least a portion of the message may then be identified. One or more ideograms (e.g., written characters, symbols or images that represent an idea or thing), each corresponding to an identified sentiment, may then be suggested to a user for insertion into a message. Upon receiving a user selection of one or more of the ideograms in relation to some portion of the message, an association may be saved in a user-specific dictionary linking the user-selected one or more of the ideograms with the portion of the message. In particular embodiments, the sentiment analysis may incorporate social-networking information and/or historical ideogram usage information.

US Patent:
20150222617, Aug 6, 2015
Filed:
Feb 5, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/173425
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
Samuel Lessin - San Francisco CA, US
Thomas Stocky - Los Altos CA, US
Michael Vernal - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Facebook, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
H04L 12/58
G06F 17/22
Abstract:
Particular embodiments of a method comprise providing one or more ideograms (e.g., written characters, symbols or images that represent an idea or thing) for insertion into a message. A request may be received from a user for a restricted one of the ideograms. A determination may be made as to whether the user is authorized to access the restricted ideogram. This determination may be based on whether the user is a member of a group of authorized users, whether an attribute of the user meets a restriction requirement, or whether the request comprises an authorization code or token. If the user is authorized to access the restricted ideogram, then the restricted ideogram may be displayed to the user in association with the message. Otherwise, a restricted-content response may be generated.
