  • Patent number: 9965549
    Abstract: Content uploaded by users of a computing system is found through a search. The method search receives a search term, retrieves content, identifies instances of the search term in the retrieved content, scores the retrieved content, ranks the scored content, and selects content from the ranked content. The uploaded content is created by a method where received text files are processed to remove formatting, tags, and non-printing characters. Uploaded content may be further associated with attributes used to narrow searches for content. The processed content is searched and may also be used as a source for excerpts for summarizing, representing, or otherwise embodying the content.

  • Publication number: 20160306947
    Abstract: Method, systems, and devices for designing a test molecule are disclosed. An example method includes using a molecular simulator to generate sets of simulation data. Each set of simulation data may include simulation data indicative of simulated locations in a solvent of (i) molecules of a reference molecule and (ii) molecules of one of M test molecules. The method may also include determining a probability of contact between an a species and a ? species for each set of simulated data. A contact may occur when a particle of the ? species is within a range of radials distances from a particle of the ? species. Each of the a species and the ? species may be one of the reference molecule, the solvent, or one of the M test molecules. The method may further include determining a simulation result based on at least one probability of contact.

  • Patent number: 9380073
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for computing a reputation score for user profiles of a social network according to actions taken by user profiles of the social network. The reputation score may be based on interactions of a user profile with a content item or based on interactions of user profiles with other user profiles. Actions may be weighted differently in calculating a reputation score as a sum of products of action counts and actions weights. Reputation scores calculated may be used to rank user profiles and to determine reputation levels for user profiles based on exceeding a threshold in reputation score or reputation ranking.

  • Publication number: 20150100576
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for creating a default network from a social network computing system. The default network contains user profiles of users who have one or more attributes in common. The attributes on which a default network is based may be chosen for users or may be chosen by users according to interest. A default network is used to suggest that a user having a user profile in the default network establish a connection with another user whose user profile is in the same default network. Users with user profiles in the same default network may participate in interactions such as making referrals, sharing content, and posing questions. User profiles in a default network may be filtered for display according to characteristics of user profiles.
