Patent number: 12608428Abstract: A method for automatically generating a response to a current request for information about an electronic document associated with a particular domain of knowledge includes interpreting, using a first language processing machine learning model, the electronic document to obtain interpreted data. The method includes selecting, based on the current request, a subset of feedback data included in a first knowledge store and selecting, based on the current request, a subset of domain data stored in a second knowledge store. The method includes injecting a prompt into the first language processing machine learning model or a second language processing machine learning model based on the current request, the subset of feedback data, the subset of domain data, and the interpreted data. The method includes generating, by the first language processing machine learning model or the second language processing machine learning model, the response to the request based on the injecting.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2025Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: John Samuel, Gokul Elumalai, Sanjay Kumar, Snehal Shaevya, Baljinder Singh, Karthik Nayak, Srivathsal Venkataramu, Sandeep Mewara

Publication number: 20260087563Abstract: A system for automated tax return analysis that streamlines the process of examining and optimizing tax returns. The system employs a partial tax return interpretation engine that uses natural language processing to analyze tax data from multiple years. This data is fed into a genAI module, which compares the processed information and identifies changes over time. The system's knowledge store, containing up-to-date tax rules, works in tandem with a tax situation identifier to cross-reference the detected changes and pinpoint relevant tax situations. Based on these findings, a deductions identifier determines applicable tax deductions. A report generator produces a human-readable document outlining the detected tax situations and potential deductions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2024Publication date: March 26, 2026Applicant: INTUIT INC.Inventors: John SAMUEL, Sandeep MEWARA, Sanjay KUMAR, Srivathsal V

Patent number: 6939561Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for reducing the toxicity of certain hydrophobic therapeutic agents, especially polyene antibiotics, in particular, Amphotericin B (AmB), and therapeutics such as paclitaxel, tamoxifen, an acylated prodrug or an acylated cis-platin, by incorporating these agents within micelles comprising an amphiphilic block-forming copolymer. Where the polyene is amphotericin B, desirably the spacer is an alkyl molecule of aabout 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, desirably 6 carbon atoms, and the core is an N-alkyl molecule of about 8 to about 28 carbon atoms, desirably 12 to 22 carbon atoms, advantageously, 12 to 18 carbon atoms, and as specifically embodied, 18 carbon atoms (stearate moiety). For the formulation of a larger polyene, the spacer and core are proportionately larger than those for amphotericin B. As specifically exemplified herein, the polymer backbone is a PEO of about 270 units with about 10-30 core-forming PLAA subunits, and advantageously about 14-24.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Glen S.

The battery has anolyte and catholyte tanks 6,7, with respective pumps 8,9 and a pipework 10, 11. In use, the pumps circulate the electrolytes An,Ca to and from the tanks 8,9, to the compartments 2,3 and back to the tanks. Electricity flows to a load L. The electrolyte lines are provided with tappings 21,22 via which fresh electrolyte F can be added and further tappings 23,24 via which spent electrolyte S can be withdrawn, the respective tappings being for anolyte and catholyte. On recharging, typically via a coupling 25 for lines 26 to all the tappings, a remote pump 27 pumps fresh anolyte and fresh catholyte from remote storages 28 and draws spent electrolyte to other remote storages 29.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2003Publication date: July 21, 2005Inventors: John Samuel, Peter Ridley

Patent number: 5242799Abstract: A heterologous sandwich immunoassay has been developed for human TF antigen using a monoclonal antibody as the catcher and labelled peanut agglutinin as the probe. Since human TF antigen is shed by tumor cells, a positive determination of the TF antigen in a patient sample indicates the presence of cancer. The test can also be used to monitor the course of conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy by monitoring the amount of TF antigen in a fluid sample from a patient being so treated. Because of the sensitivity of the assay method, cancer can be detected in very early stages by the assay method of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1992Date of Patent: September 7, 1993Assignee: Biomira, Inc.Inventors: John Samuel, B.

Patent number: 5110911Abstract: Human tumor associated Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF) antigen is purified from adenocarcinoma conditioned media, adenocarcinoma cell detergent extracts or plural effusion fluid by affinity chromatography using an insolubilized TF-specific monoclonal antibody, MAb 49H.8. The TF antigen is a glycoprotein characterized by a non-cryptic Gal .beta.(1.fwdarw.3) GalNAc epitope, a molecular weight in excess of 1,000,000 daltons, and extractability with perchloric acid, the epitope being sensitive to alkali and periodate but resistant to acid. A heterologous sandwich immunoassay has been developed for human TF antigen using a monoclonal antibody as the catcher and labelled peanut agglutinin as the probe. Since human TF antigen is shed by tumor cells, a positive determination of the TF antigen in a patient sample indicates the presence of cancer.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1989Date of Patent: May 5, 1992Assignee: Biomira, Inc.Inventors: John Samuel, B.
