International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

The field of the invention relates to multi-user online gaming systems, and more particularly to systems and methods that enable a spectator's experience for online active games. In a preferred embodiment, an online multiuser game system includes a user matching system configured to match users for a game session, wherein the user matching system is enabled to match a first user with another user based at least in part on behavior data in the first user's profile.

Appl. No.:

8/610108

Inventors:

Wingyu Leung - Cupertino CA
Jeffrey J. Lin - Danville CA

Assignee:

Monolithic System Technology, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G11C 700

US Classification:

36523006

Abstract:

A method and structure for generating a boosted word line voltage for a memory array, such as a DRAM array. To ensure that an adequate voltage is applied to the word line of the memory array during write operations, the word line driver circuit is connected to a boost voltage generator which provides a substantially constant, regulated voltage which is boosted to a level which is approximately equal to the V. sub. CC supply voltage plus the threshold voltage of the memory cell pass transistor. A bias voltage generator provides a negative voltage which is used to bias the substrate of the memory array. The boosted voltage generator and the bias voltage generator can be operated in response to the same clock signal used to operate the memory array. A latch-up prevention circuit is provided to ensure that the word line driver circuit does not latch-up during power-on before an adequate boost voltage has been established.

Appl. No.:

17/167949

Inventors:

- San Mateo CA, US
Jeffrey LIN - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

B01L 3/00

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides microfluidic device comprising microfluidic valves with low or substantially no dead volume. The valves may comprise an actuation layer, a fluidic layer and a membrane between the actuation layer and the fluidic layer. The fluidic layer may comprise a fluidic channel, which fluidic channel may have a cross-sectional area having a curved shape. The actuation layer may be configured to apply positive or negative pressure to the membrane to deflect the membrane towards or away from the fluidic layer. The membrane may comprise one or more polymeric layers.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing one or more content objects associated with a first user of an online social network; generating a set of tag candidates by extracting one or more n-grams from the content objects, wherein each tag candidate comprises one or more text strings or ideograms from the extracted n-grams; calculating, for each tag candidate of the set of tag candidates, a quality-score for the tag candidate based on an affinity coefficient between the first user and a respective content object from which the n-grams or ideograms comprising the tag candidate were extracted; and sending, to a client system for display, one or more of the tag candidates as suggested tags for the first user, wherein each suggested tag has a quality-score greater than a threshold quality-score.
