Abstract: Methods and systems for enriching an information system containing information about companies with additional competitor information. The information system, which could be a database, a knowledge base, or a knowledge graph, is assumed to contain information about a plurality of single companies, the information comprising data such as industry codes, competitors, and possibly also keywords for each company. The disclosed methods determine new competitor pairs by combining (i) the generation of new competitor candidate pairs by inference from existing competitors and other company-specific knowledge with (ii) the validation of such competitor candidates pairs by checking for joint occurrence in documents of a document repository.

Abstract: A method including receiving at least one search term (e.g. HIV) from an interface (e.g. a web browser on a personal computer). The method may search a network for documents (e.g. web pages) that include at least a portion of the search term. The method may determine the source (e.g. news outlets such as National Geographic or the National Enquirer) and sort the documents based on the source of the documents. A search engine may implement a method that uses the source to qualify (e.g. sort) search results based on the source of the documents.

Abstract: A system for authentication, encryption and/or signing, as well as corresponding devices and methods, that use temporary but repeatable encryption keys uniquely connected to the user and generated from a unique set of input parameters. The system comprises an input device designed to extract predetermined characteristic values from value input by the user, which value is specific to the user, by means of a given algorithm, which algorithm is designed to remove the natural variation in the characteristic values in order to yield an identical set of characteristic values upon input of the same value, and a device designed to generate at least one user specific encryption key comprising said characteristic values.

Abstract: A system for authentication, encryption and/or signing, as well as corresponding devices and methods, that use temporary but repeatable encryption keys uniquely connected to the user and generated from a unique set of input parameters. The system comprises an input device (105) designed to extract predetermined characteristic values from value input by the user, which value is specific to the user, by means of a given algorithm, which algorithm is designed to remove the natural variation in the characteristic values in order to yield an identical set of characteristic values upon input of the same value, and a device (106) designed to generate at least one user specific encryption key comprising said characteristic values.
