  • Patent number: 11741112
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved categorization of queries are disclosed. In one aspect, a search query is received and determined to match a pattern having an uncategorized variable placeholder portion. In response to determining the search query matches the pattern, the pattern is used to identify a first portion of the search query based on the first portion of the search query corresponding to the uncategorized variable placeholder portion of the pattern. The search query is categorized by assigning, to the search query, a category associated with the first portion of the search query. Search results are generated for the search query using the category associated with the first portion of the search query.

  • Patent number: 11580115
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved categorization of queries are disclosed. In one aspect, first queries having query results limited to a particular category are identified. Second queries including a first query are also identified. For identified second queries, a pattern is generated based on the second query and the included first query, and a rank of the first query's particular category in results for the second query and a percentage of the second query's results having a category equivalent to the included first query's particular category are determined. The ranks and percentages are aggregated for matching patterns, and second patterns with aggregated ranks and percentages meeting a criterion are determined. Results for a third query are limited to a category equivalent to a particular category for a first query included in the third query, and then transmitted over a computer network to a client device.

  • Patent number: 11550984
    Abstract: A method for analyzing an analog circuit controlled by a plurality of digital inputs is presented. The circuit is represented with a data structure with nodes connected via edges, which represent a circuit component. The data structure can be traversed across all connected nodes; and said digital inputs can be toggled between two or more input states. The method steps include identifying a set of boundary nodes in the data structure which are at a digital-analog boundary of the data structure; for each digital input, identifying associated boundary nodes which are coupled with the digital input; grouping digital inputs into input sets, where each of the different input sets are associated with mutually exclusive sets of associated boundary nodes, and analyzing the circuit by successively analyzing one or more of the input sets for all possible combinations of inputs states within that set.
