  • Publication number: 20250024237
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a personalized entity repository. For example, a computing device comprises a personalized entity repository having fixed sets of entities from an entity repository stored at a server, a processor, and memory storing instructions that cause the computing device to identify fixed sets of entities that are relevant to a user based on context associated with the computing device, rank the fixed sets by relevancy, and update the personalized entity repository using selected sets determined based on the rank and on set usage parameters applicable to the user. In another example, a method includes generating fixed sets of entities from an entity repository, including location-based sets and topic-based sets, and providing a subset of the fixed sets to a client, the client requesting the subset based on the client's location and on items identified in content generated for display on the client.

  • Publication number: 20230140634
    Abstract: It is therefore an object of the present invention a multi-convolutional two-dimensional (2D) attention unit to be applied in performing MTS three-dimensional (3D) data analysis, of input data (1) with cyclic properties, using an RRN architecture. This unit is able to constructs one independent attention vector a per variable of the MTS using 2D convolutional operations to capture the importance of a time-step inside surrounding segments and time-steps area. For that purpose, the two-dimensional attention unit is comprised by a splitting block (2), a attention block (3), a concatenation block (4) and a scaling block (5).

  • Patent number: 11587044
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a user interface uniting two primary components, a list view and a reading pane, within a message reading application. Technologies are also described for synchronizing status and parameters between the two primary user interface components. In particular, a user interface for reading messages can represent all components of a conversation with both a list view for presenting a message map, and a reading pane for presenting a content view. The list view can present a list of messages grouped by conversation. The reading pane window can contain smaller windows or frames. Each of the smaller windows or frames can contain a message within a given conversation. Synchronization provided between the list view and a reading pane can allow message selection in one of the user interface components to cause display and selection of the corresponding message in the other user interface component.

  • Patent number: 11484593
    Abstract: This invention relates to atroipsomers of reduced tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives with halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br) in the ortho positions of the phenyl groups, particularly halogenated tetraphenylchlorins and halogenated tetraphenylbacteriochlorins, which can be used in photodynamic therapy. According to the formulae of the invention, the ortho-phenyl substituents X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 and X8 may be identical or different and represent halogen atoms or hydrogen atoms, provided that at least all of X2, X4, X6 and X8 are halogens, and the meta-phenyl substituents R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently chosen from —OH, —OR or —SO2R?, where R? are each independently chosen from —Cl, —OH, -aminoacid, —OR, —NHR, or —NR2, where R are alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms or R2 represents cycloalkyl with 2 to 12 carbon atoms. The atropisomers of this invention have the majority of the substituents R1, R2, R3 and R4 on the same side of the plane defined by the macrocycle.

  • Patent number: 10726155
    Abstract: A method of processing a query on a genome to produce a report is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a first secret, a second secret and a query request over a communications network during a first communications session and storing a proxy value associated with the query request in a database. The first secret is used to determine a genome key enabling access to genome data stored in the database and associated with the first secret. The proxy value and a query key are associated using the second secret such that the query key can only be found using both the proxy value and the second secret. An association is stored between the genome key and the query key in the database and the first and second secrets are deleted subsequent to determining the genome key and associating the proxy value and query key, during or at the end of the first communications session, to ensure anonymity.
