  • Patent number: 10291684
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enforcing publisher content item block requests. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a set of declared network locations for a content item and rendering the content item. A request is initiated for a resource that is referenced by the content item, and network locations fetched in response to the request are logged. A composite set of network locations that includes the fetched network locations and declared network locations is generated. The composite set of network locations is used to enforce publisher block requests.

  • Patent number: 9593414
    Abstract: Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is hydrogenated for use as a dielectric (e.g., an interlayer dielectric) for superconducting electronics. A hydrogenated a-Si layer is formed on a substrate by CVD or sputtering. The hydrogen may be integrated during or after the a-Si deposition. After the layer is formed, it is first annealed in an environment of high hydrogen chemical potential and subsequently annealed in an environment of low hydrogen chemical potential. Optionally, the a-Si (or an H-permeable overlayer, if added) may be capped with a hydrogen barrier before removing the substrate from the environment of low hydrogen chemical potential.

  • Patent number: 9455073
    Abstract: Provided are superconducting circuits, methods of operating these superconducting circuits, and methods of determining processing conditions for operating these superconducting circuits. A superconducting circuit includes a superconducting element, a conducting element, and a dielectric element disposed between the superconducting element and the conducting element. The conducting element may be another superconducting element, a resonating element, or a conducting casing. During operation of the superconducting element a direct current (DC) voltage is applied between the superconducting element and the conducting element. This application of the DC voltage reduces average microwave absorption of the dielectric element. In some embodiments, when the DC voltage is first applied, the microwave absorption may initially rise and then fall below the no-voltage absorption level.

  • Patent number: 8374983
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for classifying objects. Object (e.g., Website) classification can be performed using multiple models that are implemented in a distributed processing environment. In response to receiving a request to classify an object based on attribute values that characterize the object models that are configured to classify objects based on the attribute values are identified and the attribute values are provided to the identified models. Based on classification data received from selected models is used to generate a final classification for the object. The final classification can specify or correspond to a presentation availability status of the object that can be used to control availability of the object. For example, a Website having a final classification of “blacklisted” can be made unavailable for presentation based on the classification result.
