Abstract: A user's request for a page to be provided in response to a browse request is fulfilled by determining a candidate set of pages based on the page displayed on the client when the browse request is sent. Scores for those candidate pages are used to rank the candidate pages and a page is provided to the client based on the ranking of the candidate pages.

Abstract: Populating a contact entry with selected entity information based on an identifier associated with a call (e.g., a telephone call, VoIP call, text message, electronic mail message, or any other communication). As the call is detected, entity information for the identifier (e.g., a telephone number, VoIP address, MAC address, etc.) is generated. The entity information is filtered based on a category of the entity information, user preferences, location of a computing device (e.g., mobile telephone) of the user, or other filtering criteria. The filtered entity information is associated with the contact entry for the identifier, thereby enhancing the contact entry while reducing typing on the computing device. In some embodiments, additional information such as advertisements for a competitor of the entity are provided to the user.

A wide range of measurements and analytical with respect to applications, device hardware, device software and network in various simulated and natural environments is obtained, and transmitted to the remote system for analysis and storage.

Abstract: A method for determining a user attention to at least one multimedia data element (MMDE) displayed in a web-page over a user computing device. The method comprises receiving a request to determine the user attention, wherein the request includes at least the web-page and an identification of the at least one MMDE in the web-page; receiving at least one sensory signal captured by at least one sensor connected to the user computing device; querying a deep-content-classification (DCC) system to find a match between at least one concept structure and the received sensory signal; receiving a first set of metadata related to the at least one matched concept structure; analyzing the returned set of metadata to determine the user attention with respect to the at least one MMDE; and associating the at least one MMDE with the determined user attention.

Abstract: System, computer readable medium and method for decryption. The method may include receiving, by a third computerized system and from a fourth computerized system, a first encrypted file entity key and signed access metadata. The first encrypted file entity key is created by encrypting a file entity key by a first computerized system using an encryption key of a second computerized system. The signed access metadata is signed by the file entity key. The encrypted file entity is created by encrypting a file entity by the first computerized system using the file entity key.

Abstract: Facilitating a request for oilfield services. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are systems including a data store to receive a services request from a services requestor through a data transfer protocol interface and update an entry in the data store to indicate one or more parameters associated with the services request. The system also includes a monitor tool and a configuration file creator. The monitor tool detects an update to the data store and, if an update is detected, verifies the correctness of the services request that corresponds to the detected update. The configuration file creator detects an update to the data store and, if an update is detected, identifies an affected receiving system, determines a configuration file format for the affected receiving system, and generates a configuration file for the services request having the determined format for the affected receiving system.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying common neighbors of two nodes in a graph are provided. One technique involves performing a binary split search and/or a linear search. Another technique involves creating a segmenting index for a first neighbor list. A second neighbor list is scanned and, for each node indicated in the second neighbor list, the segmenting index is used to determine whether the node is also indicated in the first neighbor list. Techniques are also provided for counting the number of triangles. One technique involves pruning nodes from neighbor lists based on the node values of the nodes whose neighbor lists are being pruned. Another technique involves sorting the nodes in a node array (and, thus, their respective neighbor lists) based on the nodes' respective degrees prior to identifying common neighbors. In this way, when pruning the neighbor lists, the neighbor lists of the highly connected nodes are significantly reduced.
