Publication number: 20230379678Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a personalized entity repository. For example, a computing device comprises a personalized entity repository having fixed sets of entities from an entity repository stored at a server, a processor, and memory storing instructions that cause the computing device to identify fixed sets of entities that are relevant to a user based on context associated with the computing device, rank the fixed sets by relevancy, and update the personalized entity repository using selected sets determined based on the rank and on set usage parameters applicable to the user. In another example, a method includes generating fixed sets of entities from an entity repository, including location-based sets and topic-based sets, and providing a subset of the fixed sets to a client, the client requesting the subset based on the client's location and on items identified in content generated for display on the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Matthew Sharifi, Jorge Pereira, Dominik Roblek, Julian Odell, Cong Li, David Petrou

Patent number: 11587044Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a user interface uniting two primary components, a list view and a reading pane, within a message reading application. Technologies are also described for synchronizing status and parameters between the two primary user interface components. In particular, a user interface for reading messages can represent all components of a conversation with both a list view for presenting a message map, and a reading pane for presenting a content view. The list view can present a list of messages grouped by conversation. The reading pane window can contain smaller windows or frames. Each of the smaller windows or frames can contain a message within a given conversation. Synchronization provided between the list view and a reading pane can allow message selection in one of the user interface components to cause display and selection of the corresponding message in the other user interface component.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert Emmett Mccann, Michael Anthony Affronti, Andrew Russell Brauninger, Jorge Pereira, James J.

Patent number: 10726155Abstract: A method of processing a query on a genome to produce a report is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a first secret, a second secret and a query request over a communications network during a first communications session and storing a proxy value associated with the query request in a database. The first secret is used to determine a genome key enabling access to genome data stored in the database and associated with the first secret. The proxy value and a query key are associated using the second secret such that the query key can only be found using both the proxy value and the second secret. An association is stored between the genome key and the query key in the database and the first and second secrets are deleted subsequent to determining the genome key and associating the proxy value and query key, during or at the end of the first communications session, to ensure anonymity.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: CBRA GENOMICS, S.A.Inventors: André Dias Alves De Carvalho, Helder Lameiras Sousa, Nuno Manuel De Castro Arantes-Oliveira, Bruno Flávio Nogueira De Sousa Soares, Ana Sofia Pedrosa Pinto, Pedro Jorge Pereira Lopes
