  • Patent number: 11694228
    Abstract: A method for optimizing target content on a search results webpage includes receiving source code defining the webpage from a search engine server. The method further includes processing the source code to identify a target source code block in the source code, the target source code block defining, at least partially, the target content. The method further includes processing the target source code block to determine a relative metric for the target content with respect to a layout of the search results webpage. Thereafter, the relative metric may be utilized to optimize advertising expenditures in order to improve a relative position of the target content.

  • Patent number: 11526653
    Abstract: A system and method is provided that ranks and sorts websites, apps, email, or VR environment content in real-time to increase engagement, CTR, conversions, and revenue. A client applies attributes to sections of the digital content. A server system tracks end user inputs and generates optimized layouts for the digital content, such as a webpage. The document layout is ordered or reorganized before or after the document is delivered to the end user.

  • Publication number: 20150307942
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method, kit and primers for detecting fetal deafness pathogenic gene mutations. The method of the invention comprises: (a) designing primers according to the pre-determined mutation loci of deafness pathogenic genes; (b) extracting plasma DNAs in a pregnant woman; (c) connecting the extracted plasma DNAs with pre-amplification linkers to obtain connected products; (d) PCR pre-amplifying the connected product to obtain pre-amplified products; (e) cyclizing the pre-amplified products to obtain cyclised DNAs; (f) PCR amplifying the cyclised DNAs using the designed primers to obtain amplified products; and (g) high throughput sequencing the amplified products and analyzing the mutations of the fetal deafness pathogenic genes. The invention can effectively determine whether the pre-determined loci on deafness pathogenic genes have been mutated as well as the mutation type.
