20150356570 | PREDICTING INTERACTIONS OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM USERS WITH APPLICATIONS - A social networking system provides instructions to third-party application developers for inclusion in applications. When executed, the instructions communicate information from an application to the social networking system describing user interactions with the application. Based on received information describing a user's interaction with an application, the social networking system determines likelihoods of the user performing various types interactions with applications and classifies the user based on the determined likelihoods. A user's interactions with additional applications similar to an application may be used to determine the likelihoods of the user performing different types of interactions with the application. Classifications associated with users may be used as targeting criteria for advertisements, allowing advertisers to target advertisements to users having a threshold likelihood of performing certain types of interactions with an application. | 12-10-2015 |

20140167924 | Methods and Systems for Using RFID in Biological Field - Biological reagent carrier devices and methods are disclosed, which employ RFID techniques to associate information with biological reagents. | 06-19-2014 |
20140317502 | VIRTUAL ASSISTANT FOCUSED USER INTERFACES - Conversation user interfaces that are configured for virtual assistant interaction may include contextual interface items that are based on contextual information. The contextual information may relate to a current or previous conversation between a user and a virtual assistant and/or may relate to other types of information, such as a location of a user, an orientation of a device, missing information, and so on. The conversation user interfaces may additionally, or alternatively, control an input mode based on contextual information, such as an inferred input mode of a user or a location of a user. Further, the conversation user interfaces may tag conversation items by saving the conversation items to a tray and/or associating the conversation items with indicators. | 10-23-2014 |

20140208233 | USER INTERFACE FOR BOOKMARKS IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM - A bookmark displays one or more bookmark tiles each linked to an object in a social networking system, allowing faster and easier access to the linked objects. The bookmark tiles are arranged in a tile region displayed proximate to a page of content from the social networking system. For example, the tile region is a horizontal row proximate to the page content. The tile region may be accessed by performing a scrolling input when the page is displayed by a client device. The bookmark tiles may be navigated using a search region for receiving input to search the bookmark tiles. The search region may be accessible by performing a second scrolling input while the client device displays the page. | 07-24-2014 |

20140149888 | VISUALIZING REACH OF POSTED CONTENT IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM - Effects of content communications propagated to users of a social networking system may be tracked and measured by the social networking system. Identifiers of content presented to users within a time period before the users interact with the content are recorded. As users interact with the content, additional data describing the interactions with the content and the users interacting with the content are stored. Various metrics may be determined from the data describing interactions with the content. For example including virality metrics and reach metrics, may be determined and presented to the user that posted the content. | 05-29-2014 |
20140173399 | ORDERING OF BOOKMARKS FOR OBJECTS IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM - 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. | 06-19-2014 |
20140188914 | SAVED QUERIES IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM - 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. | 07-03-2014 |
20140207860 | CATEGORIZING STORIES IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM NEWS FEED - A social networking system generates stories based on actions taken by entities of the social networking system. The system applies a set of rules to the stories to categorize each story and displays the news feed as multiple sections, each displaying a category of generated stories. A story may be categorized according to its content and/or the user associated with the story. In addition to stories about a user's direct connections, stories may be generated by the user's soft connections. Supplemental content may be generated based on a section of the newsfeed currently being accessed and displayed in a related content unit adjacent to a news feed section. | 07-24-2014 |
20150106326 | Saved Queries in a Social Networking System - 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. | 04-16-2015 |
20150222721 | CUSTOMIZED PRESENTATION OF EVENT GUEST LISTS IN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM - A user creates an event in a social networking system specifying a location, a time, and a guest list of other users invited to the event. The social networking system generates a page associated with the event that provides information about the event and identifies whether users have responded to invitations to the event. The content of the page may be customized for the user viewing the page to encourage the viewing user to attend the event. For example, the viewing user's relationship to and/or similar characteristics with other users on the guest list is determined and used by the social networking system to identify the users whose responses to invitations are shown to the viewing user via the page. Additionally, a notification method more prominently distributes acceptances of invitations to other users to encourage attendance. | 08-06-2015 |

20150159314 | ANTIMICROBIAL FABRIC APPLICATION SYSTEM - An antimicrobial supply system employs a process water supply and incorporates a metallic ion supply connected to the process water supply to provide a high ion concentrate to an output. A dilution reservoir is connected to the metallic ion supply output and has an input from the process water supply. A pump is connected to an output of the reservoir. A manifold connected to the pump provides a dilute concentrate to at least one washing system. An electronics control module is connected to a first flow controller between the process water supply and the metallic ion supply and a second flow controller between the metallic ion supply and the reservoir for dilution control establishing a desired metallic ion concentration. | 06-11-2015 |
