  • Patent number: 11947915
    Abstract: A document is divided into sections based on a characteristic of the text in the document. Characteristics may include specific characters such as paragraph breaks or selected punctuation, the topics or categories of the text, or a quantity of text in each section. Each section of the document may be represented by an embedding vector in a semantic embedding space. Values are determined based on the text in each section and the semantic characteristics of each section, such as word order, capitalization, punctuation, and word meaning. When a query is received, a vector value representing the query is determined based on the text and semantic characteristics of the query. Based on the similarity between the values determined for the query and those determined for the sections of a document, the specific section of a potentially large document that most closely matches the query is determined and included in a response.

  • Publication number: 20230206257
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a brand value growth and retention system for brand drugs commercialized by brand drug advertisers through a brand drug's lifecycle during patent exclusivity and after loss of exclusivity. The brand value growth and retention system iteratively analyzes combined computational models of consumer, healthcare provider retailer and payor segment data to produce brand drug promotional campaigns that are predictive with modifying parameters that transform the promotional campaigns over time. As a result, the brand drug promotional campaign generates an increased number of brand drug purchases while predicting the point where incremental promotional campaign investments produce a diminishing number of incremental brand drug purchases.

  • Publication number: 20230095077
    Abstract: A system stores resources such as text articles, videos, and so forth for an organization. During operation, the system receives a query and provides a response. During initial use of the system, there is little or no historical data available to help determine which resource is most relevant to a particular query. In this “cold-start” situation, the system determines attributes associated with a user account of the user making the query. The query is used to search a data store and retrieve a set of resources based on a term match with the query and to find the resources which correspond to the attributes of the user account. This allows the system to provide simplified output that is more likely to be relevant to that particular user in the “cold-start” situation.

  • Patent number: 9952128
    Abstract: The invention provides systems or apparatuses for dispensing aqueous materials for electron microscopy (EM). The systems allow dispensing of aqueous materials onto an EM sample grid at individual specimen locations in an ordered array of specimen locations, with each individual specimen location in the array of locations. The systems contain a holder for reversibly receiving an EM sample grid, and a dispenser containing one or more dispensing elements that are configured to discretely dispense one or more aqueous solutions from the dispensing elements onto a plurality of individual specimen locations. The dispenser is able to provide an ordered array of discrete specimen locations discontinuous with one another. In the systems, at least one dispensing element is configured to dispense picoliter volumes of one or more of the aqueous solutions.
