Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved asymmetric synthesis of alpha-(diarylmethyl) alkyl amines (hereafter referred to as the compound (1)) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and derivatives. The process comprises an unusual substrate specific regioselective lithiation of alpha-diarylmethanes. followed by its highly diastereoselective addition to N-tert-butanesulfinylimines resulting in the selective formation of chiral alpha-(diarylmethyl) alkyl amines 4 and chiral amine 5; which on subsequently removing the sulfinyl group provides corresponding alpha-(diarylmethyl) alkyl amines (1) or relative chiral amines (1?).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved asymmetric synthesis of alpha-branched amines (hereafter referred to as the compound) and relative chiral amines (1?) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and derivatives. The process comprises an unusual substrate specific regioselective ortho lithiation of substituted arene compounds, followed by its highly diastereoselective addition to N-tert-butanesulfinylimines resulting in the selective formation of alpha-branched sulfinyl amine and chiral amine; which on subsequently removing the sulfinyl group provides corresponding alpha-branched amines or relative chiral amines (1?).

Abstract: According to some implementations of the present disclosure, a method that is executed by a processing system is described. The method includes receiving an ad request, determining a context category structure based on the ad request, and identifying one or more app-specific rules based on the category defined in the context category. The method further includes, for each app-specific rule: determining whether the identified entities in the context category structure are received by the template defined in the app-specific rule; generating a function identifier based on the set of identified entities and the template when the identified entities are received by the template defined in the app-specific rule; and determining a score for each of the generated function identifiers. The method includes selecting one or more of the generated function IDs based on the respective scores of the function IDs and generating an advertisement object corresponding to the function ID.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a search query from a user device, determining a geographic search location, and determining geographic endpoint locations for search lines. The search lines radiate outwardly from the geographic search location in predetermined directions. The method includes determining geographic boundaries of a search area for the search query by connecting stored ones of the geographic endpoint locations for the search lines. The method includes determining, from the entity records stored in the memory, search results entities that have geographic locations within the geographic boundaries of the search area and satisfy the search query. The method includes obtaining access mechanisms associated with the search results entities. Each access mechanism, when executed by the user device, causes the user device to transition an application to a corresponding specific state. The method includes transmitting, to the user device, the access mechanisms and link data for the search results entities.

Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms or apparatus to confirm reachability of data center virtual machines and virtual/nonvirtual entities necessary to support the virtual machines. State information associated with virtual machines and necessary supporting entities may retrieved and correlated with respective alarms/warnings to determine whether the respective alarms/warnings are consistent with the state information such that no further processing is necessary.

Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms or apparatus to manage virtual and nonvirtual elements in a data center (DC) by correlating necessarily supporting virtual and nonvirtual DC elements, such as the virtual and nonvirtual DC elements necessary to support a VM, a virtual port attaching the VM to an L2 service, a hypervisor supporting the L2 service, an L3 attachment point supporting the L2 service and the L3 service to which the L2 services attached.

Abstract: Architecture that provides a data structure to facilitate personalized ranking over recommended content (e.g., documents). The data structure approximates the social distance of the searching user to the content at query time. A graph is created of content recommended by members of the social network, where the nodes of the graph include content nodes (for the content) and recommending member nodes (for members of the social network who recommended the content). If a member recommends content, an edge is created between the member node and the content node. If a member is a “friend” (tagged as related in some way) of another member, an edge is created between the two member nodes. Each node is converted to a lower dimensional feature set. Feature sets of the content are indexed and the feature set of the searching user is utilized to match and rank the search results at query time.
