Patent number: 8332409Abstract: A content device may select associated content, such as adverts, for a user selected content item based on textual characterizing data for the associated content and the user selected content item. A term set characterizing the user selected content item is expanded using semantic graphs and similarity values between the expanded term set and term sets describing associated content is calculated. A specific associated content item is then selected based on the similarity values. The semantic graph based term set expansion may allow improved accuracy in selecting appropriate associated content while providing a process that is suitable for resource constrained scenarios. In particular, communication resource, memory resource, and computational resource usage may be kept low.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Simon Waddington, Ben M. Bratu, Ioannis Kompatsiaris, Fotis Menemenis, Symeon Papadopoulos

Publication number: 20110104788Abstract: The invention provides materials and methods for modulating adenoviral tropism for hepatocytes and other cell types such as splenocytes. It relates to the findings that hypervariable regions (HVRs) of the viral hexon protein interact with the Gla domain of the blood clotting factor FX as part of the infective process in vivo. The invention provides means to disrupt the interaction between hexon and FX, thus reducing infection of hepatocytes and splenocytes, as well as use of targeting agents comprising the Gla domain or a fragment thereof to direct adenoviral vectors to desired target cell or tissue types.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Inventors: Andrew Baker, Simon Waddington, John McVey

Publication number: 20050106965Abstract: A multilayer structure comprising (A) a fabric and (B) a polymeric layer comprising a substantially random interpolymer comprising in polymerized form i) one or more ?-olefin monomers and ii) one or more vinyl or vinylidene aromatic monomers and/or one or more sterically hindered aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinyl or vinylidene monomers, and optionally iii) other polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer(s); layer (B) being free from a substantial amount of tackifier. The multilayer structure has desirable haptics and surprisingly good drape properties. It is useful in many applications, for example as water-impermeable clothes, tablecloths, tents, water-impermeable covers, curtains, artificial leather or upholstery.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventors: Ronald Wevers, Karin Katzer, Antonio Batistini, Emil Hersche, Simon Waddington, Alastair Hill, Dave Kelley, Stan Ng, Simon Lee
