摘要： Embodiments of the present invention allow a user to master the music played among a social network. Users of the social network subscribe to the master's session and synchronize their media player under control of the master. The master then distributes various selections of music and controls their playback. The master may also add other data, such as voice over or images, to accompany the playback.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and system for allowing an open overlay service for a social network to interface with other online services. In particular, the open overlay service configures its clients to make requests on behalf of the social network. Responses to the requests are routed back to the open overlay service and the information is then provided to the social network. Since the requests come from the client the online services will simply treat them as normal requests, and thus, the open overlay service can seamlessly integrate with a user's online services.

摘要翻译： 本发明的实施例提供了允许社交网络的开放覆盖服务与其他在线服务接口的方法和系统。 特别地，开放覆盖服务配置其客户端以代表社交网络进行请求。 对请求的响应被路由回到打开的覆盖服务，然后将该信息提供给社交网络。 由于请求来自客户端，因此在线服务将简单地视为正常请求，因此，开放式覆盖服务可以与用户的在线服务无缝集成。

摘要： An optical inspection system includes a polarizing isolator that reduces error in measurements by preventing ghost light reflected or scattered from element of a detection subsystem from re-entering the illumination and detection optical paths. The polarizing isolator may include a polarizing splitter that isolates light directionally according the a linear polarization state and two quarter-wave plates for transforming linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light.

摘要： Methods and systems to manage users of a social network. The method includes receiving, at a server, a request to contact a user from another user of a social network based on a selected one of a plurality of associated identity resources of the user known by other users. The method also includes restricting views of other users for the identity of the user to the selected one of the plurality of associated identity resources.

摘要： Users searching for common subject matter on a computer network are identified and enabled to communicate with one another, such as by engaging in an on-line chat. The users' search queries are transmitted to a server and processed to identify which users are searching for common subject matter within a time window. A dialogue such as an on-line chat is launched and the identified users are invited to join. The users may preview the chat before joining. The users can share links to resources such as web pages and provide annotations to accompany the links. Additionally, the users' search queries may be shared in the chat. The functionality may be provided by a plug-in to web browser software, or by an executable script embedded in a web page of search results.

摘要翻译： 在计算机网络上搜索常见主题的用户被识别并且能够彼此通信，诸如通过参与在线聊天。 将用户的搜索查询发送到服务器并进行处理以识别在一个时间窗口内哪些用户正在搜索通用主题。 启动对话，例如在线聊天，并邀请已识别的用户加入。 用户可以在加入之前预览聊天。 用户可以共享链接到诸如网页之类的资源，并提供链接附带的注释。 此外，用户的搜索查询可以在聊天中共享。 功能可以由网络浏览器软件的插件或嵌入在搜索结果的网页中的可执行脚本来提供。

摘要： Methods and systems can manage the multiple identities used by a user. The user's existing contact lists, website accounts, buddy lists, and the like are analyzed to determine the identities used by the user. A graph is then constructed in order to track and integrate the multiple identities of the user in a social network. The social network graph may then be used by a social network overlay so that the user can share information across their different identities with different users that only know some of the user's multiple identities.

摘要： Systems and methods provide users with suggested content that is preloaded on a media player. The suggested content is selected based on playback data from individuals and groups in a social network or playback data from anonymous users, or explicit suggestions from peers of the user in the social network, such as friends or family. The user may set aside space on their media player, such as a DVR or PC hard drive. A service then populates this space with suggested content. In addition, systems and methods allow users to track and create recommendations of content and to automatically schedule recording of showings of this content. The user may automatically record everything suggested, or require the user make selections. Systems and methods also provide for automatic selections, based on content type, time of day, or a random pattern.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide users with suggested content that is preloaded on a media player. The suggested content is selected based on playback data from individuals and groups in a social network or playback data from anonymous users, or explicit suggestions from peers of the user in the social network, such as friends or family. The user may set aside space on their media player, such as a DVR or PC hard drive. A service then populates this space with suggested content. For example, the user may elect to populate this space with shows that their friends are watching, automatically. In addition, embodiments of the present invention allow users to track and create recommendations of content and to automatically schedule recording of showings of this content. The user may automatically record everything suggested, or require the user make selections. The present invention also provides for automatic selections, based on content type, time of day, or a random pattern. Finally, a user may acknowledge that they have watched a show suggested by their friends and automatically or manually send feedback about that show.
