  • Sperm separation devices and associated methods
    Patent number: 9034161
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, devices, and kits for separating and selecting top sperm from a sperm sample of a subject. In one aspect, for example, such a method can include removing a portion of negatively charged protein from sperm in the sperm sample, immobilizing the sperm, electrophoretically separating the sperm, and selecting mature sperm based on electromotility properties.

  • ENTITY RELEVANCE FOR SEARCH QUERIES
    Publication number: 20140365454
    Abstract: The relevance of entities to search queries is determined using a triangulation approach. The triangulation approach determines the relevance of entities to documents and the relevance of documents to a search query. The relevance of each entity to the search query is then determined as a function of the relevance of the entities to the documents and the relevance of the documents to the search query. The entity/query relevance determination may be employed when returning a search result experience in response to search queries.

  • Answer model comparison
    Patent number: 8554700
    Abstract: This patent application pertains to answer model comparison. One implementation can determine a first frequency at which an individual answer category appears in an individual slot on a query results page when utilizing a first model. The method can ascertain a second frequency at which the individual answer category appears in the individual slot on the query results page when utilizing a second model. The method can calibrate the second model so that the second frequency approaches the first frequency.
