  • Patent number: 8990183
    Abstract: The deep application crawling technique described herein crawls one or more applications, commonly referred to as “apps”, in order to extract information inside of them. This can involve crawling and extracting static data that are embedded within apps or resource files that are associated with the apps. The technique can also crawl and extract dynamic data that apps download from the Internet or display to the user on demand, in order to extract data. This extracted static and/or data can then be used by another application or an engine to perform various functions. For example, the technique can use the extracted data to provide search results in response to a user query entered into a search engine. Alternately, the extracted static and/or dynamic data can be used by an advertisement engine to select application-specific advertisements. Or the data can be used by a recommendation engine to make recommendations for goods/services.

  • Patent number: 8924362
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for data processing and storage management. In an illustrative implementation an exemplary computing environment comprises at least one data store, a data processing and storage management engine (B-File engine) and at least one instruction set to instruct the B-File engine to process and/or store data according to a selected data processing and storage management paradigm. In an illustrative operation, the illustrative B-File engine can generate a B-File comprising multiple buckets and store sample items in a random bucket according to a selected distribution. When the size of the B-FILE grows to reach a selected threshold (e.g., maximum available space), the B-File engine can shrink the B-File by discarding the largest bucket. Additionally, the B-File engine can append data to existing buckets and explicitly cluster data when erasing data such that data can be deleted together into the same flash block.

  • Patent number: 8883725
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods useful in studying or modulating melanin pigmentation in the skin. Particularly, the invention relates to compositions comprising a substance capable of modulating the activity or expression of ALK6 (SEQ ID 2) or Cdc42 which in turn are capable of modulation of the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to keratinocytes and potentially from keratinocytes to keratinocytes. The invention also relates to assays for identifying such compositions, and methods of modulating skin pigmentation.

  • Publication number: 20140279026
    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to prefetching advertisements for mobile advertising. A prediction model for estimating a number of advertisements that a mobile client is likely to request during an upcoming prediction time period can be employed. An estimated total amount of time of likely interaction with application(s) executed by the mobile client can be predicted; based upon such prediction, a number of advertisement slots likely to be available and a probability of each of the advertisement slots being available can be computed. Moreover, an ad server can allocate advertisements in a pending advertisement queue and/or disparate advertisements collected from an ad exchange to the mobile client based upon the number of advertisement slots likely to be available, the probability of each of the advertisements slots being available, and aggregated probabilities of the pending advertisements in the pending advertisement queue being displayed prior to corresponding deadlines for expiration.

  • Patent number: 8805833
    Abstract: The personal data search technique uses data input by users for a given user's personal data on a social networking site to enrich the given user's personal data. The technique annotates personal data stored on a personal computing device or in a computing cloud with data obtained from social networking sites (for example, tags, comments, likes/dislikes and so forth) provided by friends/other users in the given user's social network or networks. Such annotations can later are used by search engine to enhance the search functionality and/or to improve the ranking of search results. Since the data is entered by actual human users it is very accurate and since the data is already readily available on social networks the cost to obtain it is very inexpensive.

  • Patent number: 8683316
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for populating and submitting electronic forms by proxy over a data-packet-network. The apparatus comprises software running on a system of network-connected servers that enables a user, connected to one of the servers, to navigate to a site containing an electronic form and obtain data about the site and the form. The data obtained is used in conjunction with data about the user to construct a machine readable job order upon user request that may be executed for the purpose of automatic form population and submission to a host sponsoring the site. Upon acceptance of the submitted form, data used for log-in is stored where it is entered along with site data as a new registered site item for a user such that future navigation to the site, auto log-in and data return is performed automatically on behalf of the user.

  • Patent number: 8673837
    Abstract: A shaped solid cleaning composition, especially in bar format, which utilises the detergency properties of new materials which are more efficient, relatively inexpensive and are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional soaps or synthetics surfactants; more particularly, a shaped solid cleaning composition which comprises a specific amount of structuring agent and a specific amount of a treated particle. The precursor of the treated particle is an asymmetric 1:1 or 2:1:1 clay particle having alternating tetrahedral and octahedral sheets terminating with a tetrahedral sheet at a first external surface plane and an octahedral sheet at a second external surface plane. Either or both of said external surfaces is attached with a fatty acid or derivative thereof.

  • Patent number: 8637679
    Abstract: The present invention relates to two main components, mahanine and mahanimbine (dehydroxy-mahanine) from Murraya koenigii for the treatment of glioblastoma and cervical carcinoma. Mahanimbine exhibited anti-cancer activity against lymphoid leukemia, myeloid leukemia, glioma, cervical carcinoma, pancreatic, colon and lung cancers in nineteen cells of different genetic status. C-3 hydroxy and NH groups are responsible contributing groups for their cytotoxicity. Mahanine reduced the doses of cisplatin and paclitaxel in cervical cancer showing better efficacy and useful as an adjunct chemotherapeutic agent to reduce toxicity these two drugs. A new cheap process for this preparation was established. EtOAc extract containing alkaloids enriched with mahanimbine and mahanine, is active against glioma and cervical cancers.
