  • Patent number: 12175495
    Abstract: A computer-based content delivery method includes receiving from a first user a request for content; based on said request, delivering particular content to said first user, wherein said particular content was selected based on information associated with a second user distinct from said first user. The first second users are members of a similarity group, and the second user is a leader of said group and said first user is a follower in said group.

  • Patent number: 11017881
    Abstract: A representation of a nucleic acid sequence encodes a particular gene having at least one intron. An intron signature value corresponding to the at least one intron is determined based on a first computational function applied to at least one portion of the representation of the nucleic acid sequence corresponding to the at least one intron. A protein signature value is determined, being based on a second computational function applied to a representation of a protein. In a database, an association is formed between the intron and protein signature values. This process is repeated for each of a plurality of nucleic acid sequences. Nucleic acid sequences in the database are ordered based on a sort of corresponding intron signature values. An ordering determined by the sort is used to determine or confirm a role or function of a portion of a given nucleic acid sequence.

  • Patent number: 10068017
    Abstract: A method obtains a first data item signature for a first data item, the first data item signature comprising an association between a plurality of synch points in the first data item and a corresponding plurality of block signatures. The process attempts to find one of the synch points in a second data item; and, if such a synch point is found, then a block signature of a corresponding block of bits in the second data item is determined. The process ascertains whether the synch point and corresponding block signature from the second data item correspond to a synch point and block signature in the first data item. If a predetermined number of synch points and corresponding block signatures match, the first and second data items are considered to match. In response to said determining, one or more actions associated with the first data item are performed.
