Patent number: 10636072Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory to results for different search queries. The processing device communicates with the memory. The processing device generates signals for the first search query based on the first search terms, the user context, and behavioral data and interactional data from previous search queries, generates an overall result strategy for the search query based on the signals, determines a first set of results for the search query in response to a first probability that the first search query is directed to a first result strategy in the overall result strategy. The first set of results is a subset of a second set of results available for the first search query.

Publication number: 20170220638Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory to store a first search query including first search terms, and user context associated with the first search query. The processing device communicates with the memory. The processing device generates a first probabilistic strategy for the first search query based on the signals and a first result strategy. The first probabilistic strategy indicates a probability that the search query is directed to the first result strategy. The processing device also creates an overall strategy for the search query based on the first probabilistic strategy, and provides the overall strategy for use in altering results to be provided in response to the first search query.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2016Publication date: August 3, 2017Inventors: Richard L.

Publication number: 20150278765Abstract: A method for displaying an information collection includes collecting a plurality of user signals associated with a user of a device, and identifying a first subject from the plurality of user signals. The first subject has at least a first piece of information. A connection between the first subject and a second subject is determined, and a second piece of information from the second subject is determined. The second piece of information is relevant to the first piece of information. The first and second pieces of information are assembled into a user information collection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2014Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Jagannatha Raju Dantuluri, Marc Christopher Pottier, Karan Singh, Deborah Briana Harrison, David M.

Patent number: 5068427Abstract: A process for the preparation of alkane- and arenesulfonamides in high purity and yield is provided. Ammonia or alkylamine is reacted under boiling conditions with an alkane- or arenesulfonyl halide in the absence of an added solvent. The heat of reaction is dissipated by the heat of vaporization of the ammonia or alkylamine.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1989Date of Patent: November 26, 1991Assignee: Atochem North America, Inc.Inventors: Stanley R. Sandler, Steven G. Schon, David M. Gardner

Patent number: 5035777Abstract: A continuous method is provided for preparing alkanesulfonyl halides, particularly chlorides and alkanesulfonic acids in high yields without the formation of undesirable side-products, and without the net production of hydrogen chloride as a by-product. The method involves the continuous electrolysis of an alkanethiol (RSH) or dialkyl disulfide (RSSR') in an aqueous hydrochloric acid-containing solution, continuously removing the electrolyzed product mixture from the electrolysis zone, and recovering the alkanesulfonyl chloride (RSO.sub.2 Cl) or alkanesulfonic acid (RSO.sub.3 H) product from the mixture. The alkyl groups in the dialkyl disulfide (R and R') may be straight or branched chain, substituted or unsubstituted, have 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and may be different, but are preferably the same. The aqueous hydrochloric acid-containing medium and any unreacted sulphur compounds may be recycled through the electrolysis chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1990Date of Patent: July 30, 1991Assignee: Atochem North America, Inc.Inventors: David M.
