  • Patent number: 10223464
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a search query from a client system of a first user; parsing the search query into n-grams, and calculating confidence-scores for entities in a set of query-analysis-entities based on the n-grams, each confidence-score representing a probability that one or more of the n-grams are intended to reference a respective entity; determining a set of search results matching the search query, and calculating entity-frequencies corresponding to entities in a set of results-analysis-entities based on a histogram analysis of the set of search results; calculating a filter-score entities in a set of prospective-entities, which includes entities from the set of query-analysis-entities and the set of results-analysis-entities, based on the respective confidence-score and entity-frequency; and sending, to the client system, suggested filters corresponding to entities having a filter-score greater than a threshold filter-score, the suggested filters being selectable to modify th

  • Patent number: 5925250
    Abstract: A fecal parasite concentrator which has a cylindrical body (20) with connections for a sample vial (24) on one end having a protective recess (27) for receiving the sample vial and a centrifuge tube (28) on the other. An integral filter (36) is disposed within the body at right angles coaxially covering the cross sectional area of the hollow body. The filter contains a series of closely spaced square openings for filtration of a liquid diluted fecal specimen. A hollow stem (40) with truncated end (44) extends upwardly from the filter having orifices (46) which permit air to pass therethrough when the diluent specimen flows through the filter.
