Abstract: Implementations disclose determining connections between sound recordings and compositions. A method includes maintaining, by a server device of a content sharing platform, a serving structure to represent resources comprising sound recording resources and composition resources and explicit connections between the resources, generating a hypothesis structure from the serving structure, the hypothesis structure comprising the resources and the explicit connections of the serving structure and inferred connections between the resources, the inferred connections identified based on data comprised in the resources of the serving structure, and upon receiving a user approval of at least one of the inferred connections, adding, by the server device, the at least one of the inferred connections to the serving structure.

Abstract: A method for representing online content item ownership information is provided. The method includes receiving information identifying a first content item and a first owner, and generating a first data object associating the first content item with the first owner. A plurality of data objects is maintained, including the first data object comprising first descriptive data, and a second data object comprising second descriptive data associating a second content item and a second owner. The method generates a first reconciled data object responsive to determining that the first content item corresponds to the second content item and that the first owner and the second owner are different. The method determines degree of overlap between third descriptive data associated with a third content item and the reconciled data objects maintained in the data store. The third data object is associated with the reconciled data object with the highest degree of overlap.

Abstract: In a rights system, a plurality of asserted and reconciled assets are maintained. For example, asserted and reconciled assets can be maintained in a table structure of the rights system. Each asserted asset can associated an asset with an owner and additionally include descriptive data describing the asset. Asserted assets can be created by the rights system based on descriptive data provided to the rights system by owners of assets. In contrast, reconciled assets are generated by the right system by associating one or more asserted assets. The set of asserted assets can be modified, both through updates to the descriptive data of existing asserted assets, and through the generation of new asserted assets based on additional descriptive data. Based on the modifications to the asserted assets, the set of reconciled assets can be modified to reflect new or corrected information present in the set of asserted assets.

Abstract: This application relates to antibodies reactive with a novel homogenous human cytokine, Natural Killer Stimulator Factor (NKSF), having the ability to induce the production of gamia interferon in vitro in human peripheral blood lymphocytes, and a pharmaceutical preparation containing such antibodies.

Abstract: A technique for employing polyimide as an inter-metal dielectric layer, while avoiding the difficulties usually associated with this material. An upper layer of silicon dioxide is employed as a hard mask over the polyimide, and is highly doped with phosphorous to prevent thermal cracking. Via holes are formed in a multi-stage etching process that includes a first dry-etching step that effects isotropic etching to form holes with desirably sloped sidewalls, and a second dry-etching step that effects anisotropic etching to extend the via holes through to a lower metal surface without significantly enlarging the holes in width. Finally, a dry-etching step is used to remove any residue of polyimide and to strip the silicon dioxide layer from over the polyimide. The bottom of the hole is then sputter-etched prior to metallization.
