  • Publication number: 20180025379
    Abstract: An online system determines a predicted performance of presenting a content item based on factors including a context in which the content item is to be presented. The context in which the content item is to be presented identifies other content presented in conjunction with the content item, content presented prior to presenting the content item, or actions performed prior to, after, or during presentation of the content item. Based on prior actions by users presented with content items in different contexts, the online system determines a quality score for each context. Using the quality score for the context in which the content item is to be presented and other factors, the online system determines the predicted performance of presenting the content item. The online system may modify determination of the predicted performance as the online system receives information describing results of presenting the content item.

  • Patent number: 9765102
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to ONO pincer ligands that can be in a trianionic, protonated or protonated equivalent form. The ONO pincer ligand can be combined with a metal comprising compound to form an ONO pincer ligand comprising transition metal complex. By choice of the ONO pincer ligand structure, the steric and electronic properties of the metal complexes therefrom can be controlled. The ONO pincer ligands comprise a central nitrogen atom that is disubstituted with a pair of three atom comprising bridges where the three atoms are a pair of sp2 hybridized carbons and an sp3 hybridized carbon.

  • Publication number: 20170116534
    Abstract: A process for recommending choices to a user uses a first model representing the user's subconscious and a second model representing the user's consciousness. The process comprises receiving data and performing, using the second model, a simulation by modeling the user and a third party to derive a simulation result that determines how the user would react to a situation based at least in part on the received data. Using the first model and the simulation, a first set of recommendation choices based at least in part on the received data is derived, and a set of recommendation choices for presentation based on the first set of recommendation choices is determined and presented to the user. As the user is making a selection, the user is monitored for conscious decisions and subconscious reactions, which are used to update the first model and the second model.

  • Patent number: 9547829
    Abstract: A method for recommending choices to a user comprises receiving data. A first set of recommendation choices based on the data is derived using a first model that models a user's subconscious reactions (i.e., intuition) to the data, and a second set of recommendation choices based on the data is derived using a second model that models the user's consciousness. The first and second sets of recommendation choices are blended using a blending function based on characteristics of a domain of the data to create a third set of recommendation choices that are arranged in an order, which is presented to the user. A conscious decision of the user and subconscious reactions of the user are monitored, and data representing the subconscious reactions of the user and data representing the conscious decisions of the user are appended to a first and second memory space, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9411856
    Abstract: A system and method for generating an overlay to share information on a website among users who are associated with a social network. A sharing application includes a social network engine, a code generator, a rating engine, a filter module, a dialog engine, a website annotator, a recommendation engine and a user interface module. The social network engine registers users with the social network to share information on websites. The social network engine generates user profiles for users including topics that the users are interested in. The rating engine rates the users based at least in part on the user's activities relating to the websites. The filter module filters users that are included in the overlay according to conditions. The dialog engine generates dialog boxes for users to communicate with each other. The user interface module generates the overlay.

  • Patent number: 9206266
    Abstract: Tridentate pincer ligand supported metal complexes are formed where the complex is a trianionic pincer ligand supported metal-alkylidyne complex or a tetra-anionic pincer-ligand supported metallacycloalkylene complex formed by addition of an alkyne to the trianionic pincer ligand supported metal-alkylidyne complex. The tridentate pincer ligand supported metal complex that includes a group 5-7 transition metal and an OCO trianionic pincer ligand or an alkyne adduct thereof and methods of preparing the complexes are disclosed. The use of the tridentate pincer ligand supported metal complex for the polymerization of alkynes is disclosed, where high molecular weight poly(alkyne)s can be formed in high yield. The poly(alkyne) can be a macrocyclic polymer.

  • Patent number: 8889879
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to bimetallic substituted triazole compounds and methods to prepare the compounds. The compounds include at least one 1,2,3-triazole that is substituted by two metal ions at the 1 and 4 or 5 positions of the triazole ring. An iClick reaction between a metal acetylide and a metal azide results in the bimetallic substituted triazole ring. Depending on the metal acetylide and the metal azide used, monomeric bimetallic substituted triazole compounds, oligomeric bimetallic triazole compounds, or polymeric bimetallic triazole compounds are formed. Polymeric bimetallic triazole compounds can be linear, branched, ladder, two-dimensional network, or three-dimensional networks.
