Patent number: 10445770Abstract: An online system receives advertisement requests from one or more advertisers and determines whether an advertisement request includes malicious content before presenting content from the advertisement request to a user. To determine whether the advertisement request includes malicious content, the online system identifies text in the advertisement request, identifies words in the text, and identifies characters in each word. The online system identifies a most common type of character in each word and generates a score for each word based on its constituent characters. For example, a word's score is based on the combination of characters in the word, such as a conditional probability of a word including a type of character given that the word includes a given number of the most common type of character. The scores are analyzed to determine if text in the advertisement request includes malicious content.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2014Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Joseph Schroeder, Benjamin Mark Dowling

Patent number: 9337426Abstract: A method of fabricating an organic electronic device using ink jet printing in swathes, comprises depositing an ink into a first set of locations in a column in a first print pass; wherein the first set of locations is less than a total number of locations in the column; and depositing an ink into a second set of locations in the column in a subsequent print pass; wherein the second set of locations is less than a total number of locations in the column. Preferably the number of nozzles used to fill all locations in a column is equal to the number of print passes needed to print the column. All locations in the swathe are printed after all print passes using a regular repeating randomized pattern, such that be ensured that print locations are not under filled, or over filled.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2009Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: CAMBRIDGE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Mark Dowling, Mark Ian Crankshaw

Publication number: 20160034949Abstract: A online system receives advertisement (“ad”) requests for presentation to online system users, with each ad request including advertisement content and identifying a landing page. The online system determines whether the advertisement content differs from content associated with a landing page identified by an ad request. One or more topics associated with the advertisement content are identified, as well as one or more topics associated with content on the landing page. By comparing topics associated with the advertisement content to topics associated with the landing page content, the online system determines if the advertisement content and landing page content differ. If the advertisement content differs from the landing page content, the online system may prevent the ad request from being presented or may identify the ad request for manual review.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2014Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventor: Benjamin Mark Dowling

Patent number: 9006715Abstract: A method of making an electronic device comprising a double bank well-defining structure, which method comprises: providing an electronic substrate; depositing a first insulating material on the substrate to form a first insulating layer; depositing a second insulating material on the first insulating layer to form a second insulating layer; removing a portion of the second insulating layer to expose a portion of the first insulating layer and form a second well-defining bank; depositing a resist on the second insulating layer and on a portion of the exposed first insulating layer; removing the portion of the first insulating layer not covered by the resist, to expose a portion of the electronic substrate and form a first well-defining bank within the second well-defining bank; and removing the resist. The method can provide devices with reduced leakage currents.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Cambridge Display Technology LimitedInventors: Mark Crankshaw, Mark Dowling, Daniel Forsythe, Simon Goddard, Gary Williams, Ilaria Grizzi, Angela McConnell
