Abstract: Amino acid sequences of antibodies can be generated using a generative adversarial network that includes a first generating component that generates amino acid sequences of antibody light chains and a second generating component that generates amino acid sequences of antibody heavy chains. Amino acid sequences of antibodies call be produced by combining the respective amino acid sequences produced by the first generating component and the second generating component. The training of the first generating component and the second generating component can proceed at different rates. Additionally, the antibody amino acids produced by combining amino acid sequences front the first generating component and the second generating component may be evaluated according to complentarity-determining regions of the antibody amino acid sequences.

Abstract: A process for identifying, accurately selecting, and storing scientific data that is present in textual formats. The process includes providing scientific data located in a text document and searching the text document using a computer and selecting a plurality of key words and phrases using an algorithm. The selected key words and phrases are matched with a plurality of semantic definitions and a plurality of semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs are created. The created plurality of semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs are displayed to a user via a computer user interface and the user selects which of the created plurality of semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs are accurate. The process also includes storing the selected and accurate semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs in computer memory.

Abstract: A cycle, such as a bicycle, used forward and rearward movement of handlebars to provide an additional force for driving or propelling the rear wheel of a bicycle. A drive rod linkage extends from the handlebars to transmit the fore and aft movement of the handlebars to drive the rear wheel of the bicycle. The rod linkage transfers this fore and aft motion without interfering with conventional steering of the front wheel. Forward and rearward movement of the handlebars is consistent with the normal manner of riding a traditional bicycle.

Abstract: A method of optimizing a contact management system using a computerized system including a set of titles. The method includes storing a set of user identity records in an identity management site, wherein each record of the set of user identity records can be redeemed by a pointer. The method also includes generating a contact title including the pointer for the record; storing the contact title in a first title management site; selecting the contact title; redeeming the record from the identity management site; and displaying the record.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are describe for providing access to identity information corresponding to a first entity. The identity information includes a plurality of identity components stored in a distributed manner. A first identity access title object is generated which is operable to confer rights to access first selected ones of the identity components to a presenter of the first identity access title object. The first identity access title object is transmitted to a second entity. Access to the first selected identity components is facilitated in response to presentation of the first identity access title object by the second entity.
