  • Publication number: 20150161656
    Abstract: An interactive advertising service may be provided using a software conversation agent configured to promote products and/or services via a trained classifier and a hierarchy of concepts related to the products and/or services. Upon request, an interactive advertisement is provided for display to a remote user via a third-party content page, the advertisement including a first creative asset and a linguistic communication control. A world state is obtained and updated during a conversational interaction with the remote user. When free-form linguistic input is received from the remote user, the input is classified and the world state updated. When the world state matches a product and/or service, the interactive advertisement is updated to display a second creative asset corresponding to the matching product and/or service.

  • Publication number: 20040002540
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for increasing the concentration of ascorbic acid in the cells of a subject which comprises administering to the subject an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the concentration of ascorbic acid in the subject's cells. This invention further provides a method for increasing the antioxidant potential of the cells of a subject which comprises administering to the subject an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the antioxidant potential of the subject's cells. This invention also provides a method for increasing the concentration of ascorbic acid in brain tissue of a subject which comprises administering to the subject an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the concentration of ascorbic acid in the subject's brain tissue.
