Patent number: 11931400Abstract: Therapeutic compositions and an associated method for improving a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-related condition, including determining a set of peptide sequences associated with a microorganism-related modulator of a TLR, determining a first set of binding parameters for the set of peptide sequences in relation to the TLR, selecting a target subset of peptide sequences from the set of peptide sequences based on the first set of binding parameters, reengineering the target subset of peptide sequences based on mutating amino acid residues of the target subset of peptide sequences, determining a second set of binding parameters for the reengineered target subset of peptide sequences in relation to the TLR, and identifying a first peptide for use in a therapeutic composition for improving the TLR-related condition, based on the second set of binding parameters for the reengineered target subset of peptide sequences.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: PSOMAGEN, INC.Inventors: Zachary Apte, Jessica Richman, Daniel Almonacid, Melissa Alegria, Valeria Marquez, Eduardo Morales, Rodrigo Ortiz, Janet Torres, Paulo Covarrubias, Javier Gimpel, Ingrid Araya

Patent number: 10540620Abstract: In one example, an activity feed server may describe events in a project by collecting events from across multiple services into an activity feed personalized to the user. The activity feed server may store an event set describing activities related to the project. The activity feed server may rank a mature event set from the event set of events older than a period matching a processing delay based on a relevance weighting for a user to generate a curated event list. The activity feed server may queue a recent event set of events younger than the processing delay in chronological order to generate a recent event list. The activity feed server may generate an event list having the curated event list and the recent event list. The activity feed server may send the activity feed having the event list to a client device for presentation to the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Melissa Torres, John DeMaris, Janet Longhurst, Yimin Wu, Jeremy Mazner, Dmitriy Meyerzon, Nicholas Anthony Buelich, II, Nikita Voronkov, Adam Ford

Patent number: 10346352Abstract: A notification based on a destination of a file operation is provided. A file management service initiates operations to provide the move notification upon detecting the move operation to move the file from a source location to a destination location. A stakeholder is identified with an access to the destination location prior to executing the move operation to move the file from the source location to the destination location. After executing the move operation, a move notification is generated to inform the stakeholder of the move operation. The move notification provides information such as a description of the file, the source location, the destination location, and/or an identification of an initiator of the move operation. Furthermore, the move notification is transmitted to the stakeholder.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Carlos Perez, John Lincoln DeMaris, Melissa Torres

Patent number: 10289741Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of using relevant objects to add content to a collaborative repository. The relevant objects are selected from URI-addressable objects based on each relevant object satisfying one or more relevance criteria. The relevant objects are recommended via a user interface. A determination is made that a specified relevant object is selected from the relevant objects. In one example, the content may be added to (e.g., created in) the collaborative repository based on the specified relevant object. In another example, the specified relevant object may be used to represent a new object type in a new content menu. For instance, the new object type may be selectable to cause an object of the new object type to be created in the collaborative repository.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Melissa Torres Acosta, Benjamin N. Truelove, Victor Poznanski, John L. DeMaris, Carlos G. Perez

Publication number: 20160140139Abstract: A mount point folder in a collaborative service library may reference contents of a mounted folder that resides elsewhere and includes actual files. File operations may be performed on files inside the mounted folder that may actually live across domains and changes to the contents of either folder may appear in the other. The mount point folder may be represented on the server as a file with .url extensions but in the client user experience, it may be represented as a folder. Mount point folders may be created at a root of a document library or within any other folder of the document library.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2014Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Melissa Torres, Zhenguang Chen, Carlos Perez, Qinjia Hackett, John D.

Patent number: 9141709Abstract: Relevant files are determined for a user upon detecting a user action such as save, load, open, view, share, or comparable ones associated with a file. The relevancy may be determined through one or more queries based on, a number of criteria, where the queries are executed on local or remote data stores related to the user. For example, files on the local computing device of the user, files in an enterprise network associated with the user, files on a social network subscribed by the user may be evaluated for various relevancy criteria. Files determined to be relevant may be prioritized, ordered, and/or grouped for suggestion to the user and presented through a user interface of an application performing the detected action.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jonathan Keslin, Mary David, Carlos Perez, Reed Pankhurst, Joshua Stickler, Manfred Berry, Marius Tennoe, Oleg Melnychuk, Ricardo Escutia, Berit Herstad, Melissa Torres, Skye Lee Pazuchanics
