Publication number: 20190167794Abstract: This invention relates to atroipsomers of reduced tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives with halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br) in the ortho positions of the phenyl groups, particularly halogenated tetraphenylchlorins and halogenated tetraphenylbacteriochlorins, which can be used in photodynamic therapy. According to the formulae of the invention, the ortho-phenyl substituents X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 and X8 may be identical or different and represent halogen atoms or hydrogen atoms, provided that at least all of X2, X4, X6 and X8 are halogens, and the meta-phenyl substituents R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently chosen from —OH, —OR or —SO2R?, where R? are each independently chosen from —Cl, —OH, -aminoacid, —OR, —NHR, or —NR2, where R are alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms or R2 represents cycloalkyl with 2 to 12 carbon atoms. The atropisomers of this invention have the majority of the substituents R1, R2, R3 and R4 on the same side of the plane defined by the macrocycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2016Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: Nuno Paulo FERREIRA GONCALVES, Tania Patricia CERCA MARTINS DOS SANTOS, Goncalo PEREIRA NASCIMENTO COSTA, Carlos Jorge PEREIRA MONTEIRO, Fabio Antonio SCHABERLE, Sonia CORREIA ALFAR, Artur Carlos REIS DE ABREU, Maria MIGUENS PEREIRA, Luis Guilherme DA SILVA ARNAUT MOREIRA

Patent number: 10178527Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: December 8, 2015Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Matthew Sharifi, Jorge Pereira, Dominik Roblek, Julian Odell, Cong Li, David Petrou

Publication number: 20180365446Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2016Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: 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

Publication number: 20170262810Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2017Publication date: September 14, 2017Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert Emmett McCann, Michael Anthony Affronti, Andrew Russell Brauninger, Jorge Pereira, James J.

Patent number: 9443332Abstract: A recently rendered section of a curve is redrawn to smooth the curve on-the-fly while a user moves a stylus or other input device. On receiving data points for the curve, an old rendered section for prior data points is deleted by curve redrawing code, and a new spline that's visually smooth through the new data points and at least one prior data point is added. “Visually smooth” is defined using tangents. The rendered spline is a cardinal or other cubic Hermite spline. The curve is redrawn for display by overwriting frame buffer data. A single instruction multiple data processing architecture simultaneously calculates multiple data points for the new section of the curve rendering. A digital ink rendering uses a pen-tip shape or an arc shape, based on data point locations. The pen-tip shape simulates a square-tip pen, highlighter, pencil, charcoal, paintbrush, or liquid ink pen.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing LLCInventors: Eric Brumer, Jorge Pereira Pedreira

Patent number: 9396566Abstract: With some splines, such as cardinal splines, irregularly spaced data points may cause undesired bumps. Bump moderation makes a spline curve more visually appealing by reducing bumps, and by doing so even if the curve happens to be already smooth in a mathematical sense. Data points P1, P2, and P3 are not suitably spaced an outlier is present in a set of linear distances between the points. The bump is moderated by moving a point of the spline along a pathway to a position for which the data points P1, P2, and P3 are suitably spaced. The pathway may be a Bezier segment or a line segment. A point is moved on the pathway to its midpoint, or to a particular portion of the pathway such as its central third or central fifth.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2015Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jorge Pereira Pedreira, Eric Brumer
