  • Patent number: 10102199
    Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to complete partial natural language questions. Users enter a partial question. The system comprises a plurality of indexes, one index comprising common phrases associated with natural language questions and other indexes comprising short text entries associated with documents, such as document titles. The partial question is used to search one or more of the indexes. The search yields a ranked list of results. The top k entries of the list are selected and one or more language models are created from the top k entries. Each language model comprises n-grams from the top k entries from an index and an associated probability for each n-gram. A question completion generator creates question completion suggestions by matching n-grams with the partial question, removing ungrammatical candidate suggestions, and filtering the remaining suggestions per a filtering criteria. The top N results are returned as suggestions to complete the question.

  • Patent number: 8204915
    Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments disclose an apparatus and method for generating a database that maps metadata to peer-to-peer (P2P) content and, more particularly, to a database that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) can build to correlate metadata with P2P traffic. The database may collect metadata having a key that uniquely corresponds to particular P2P content. An ISP may use the database to identify malware in P2P files and tag P2P traffic that seeks to exchange material in violation of applicable copyright laws.

  • Publication number: 20100292229
    Abstract: The present invention concerns compounds and their use to treat cell proliferative diseases such as cancer. In general aspects, compounds of the present invention are tyrphostin-like in structure. Compounds of the present invention, in certain embodiments, display significant potency by causing, for example, inhibition of Stat3 activation, reduction in c-myc protein levels and/or induction of apoptosis in tumor cells. In general aspects, compounds of the present invention induce one or more of these activities at nanomolar concentrations and typically function through a unique mechanism involving the induction of stress granules that bind specific signaling molecules and prevent them from participating in signal transduction and oncogenesis.

  • Patent number: 7650770
    Abstract: A tool is used to split the coils of a key ring so that the key ring can be easily and efficiently placed on a key or other object. In one embodiment the invention includes a pair of guides, such as ribs or slots, incorporated into the bridge of the key ring grip. One rib or slot assists in getting the key ring onto the key and the other rib or slot assists in removing the key ring from the key. Alternatively, the tool could be separate from the key ring bridge and take the form of a plate having a pair of cut-out sections on opposite sides thereof. One cut-out has a sharp leading edge on the top of the plate and the other has a sharp leading edge on the bottom of the plate. A semicircular handle is attached to one side of the plate and assists it further by widening the gap between the coils so that a key can be threaded onto the free end of the key ring.
