20120144381 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING DIGITAL GOODS - A system and method for transferring digital goods facilitates bulk upload of file images to a central repository. The software gets a File ID and a path to each file image to be uploaded from a list, typically an XML file, of input attributes. After successful verification, the file image is uploaded to the central repository and linked with a corresponding metadata object. Each metadata object contains attributes that describe the corresponding file image. Although file attributes may be defined when the metadata object is created, the software determines file image attributes as the file image is being uploaded and records them in the metadata object. File images are either uploaded from a server, typically an FTP server, having been placed there by the goods vendor; or the file images can be uploaded directly from a computer operated by the vendor. | 06-07-2012 |
20150088881 | Measuring Web Browser Tag Properties Without True Unique Tags - Methods to estimate a statistic using web browser tags are disclosed. An exemplary method can include obtaining a data set of impressions. Each impression can be tagged with a first tag of a first type and a second tag of a second type different than the first type. A statistic of the data set of impressions can be estimated based at least in part on the first tag and the second tag of each impression. Computer systems and non-transitory computer readable media are also disclosed. | 03-26-2015 |

20140122684 | EARLY ACCESS TO USER-SPECIFIC DATA FOR BEHAVIOR PREDICTION - A device-indexed data server associates persistent device identifiers of client computing devices with user behavior data devoid of personally identifiable information (PII). User behavior data and PII are aggregated by an off-line data aggregator and associated with non-persistent non-PII user identifiers. Users visiting third party web sites are authenticated by their device identifiers, and identified to the device-indexed data server by the device identifier or by the non-PII user identifier. The device-indexed data server retrieves from the aggregator user behavior data associated with the non-PII user identifier, returns the data to the third party server, and maintains records of user behavior associated with persistent device identifiers without maintaining PII. Subsequent user visits to any third party server can thereby be customized according to known user behavior without first requiring the user to identify herself. | 05-01-2014 |

20140235461 | ALGORITHMS FOR SEQUENCE DETERMINATIONS - The invention provides methods of determining a consensus sequence from multiple raw sequencing reads of a nucleic acid target. The nucleic acid target includes an anchor segment of known sequence and an adjacent segment of unknown sequence. The anchor segment provides a means to assess the quality of a raw target sequencing read. Raw target sequencing reads meeting or exceeding a threshold are assigned to an accepted class. The consensus sequence of the adjacent segment can be determined from raw target sequencing reads in the accepted class. Successive polling steps determine successive consensus nucleobases in a nascent sequence of the adjacent segment. Raw target sequencing reads can be removed or reintroduced from the accepted class depending on their correspondence to the most recently determined consensus nucleobase and/or the nascent sequence. | 08-21-2014 |
