Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a transistor comprising a gate region and an epitaxial region, the transistor comprising a frontside opposite a backside.

Abstract: A personalized search engine system and corresponding method which is used by an identified user for retrieving documents on a corporate network or intranet. The identified user being related to a unique personalization identifier (UPID) and to a list of group personalization identifiers (GPIDs). The system comprises a search engine interface for obtaining a query from the identified user; a search engine for finding documents matching the query; and a ranking engine for ranking the documents matching the query in order of relevancy, where the ranking is partly based on a previously calculated document rating for the UPID of the identified user, where the ranking is further based on a previously calculated document ratings for each of the GPIDs of the identified user.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for indexing documents during CPU idle time. The method can include the steps of determining at regular intervals if CPU usage is above a threshold value and pausing the indexing when CPU usage rises above a threshold value. If the CPU usage is below a threshold value the indexing is continued. Unlike traditional document systems, the document database described herein can be updated without interrupting the use of the computer.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for indexing documents in a quasi real-time manner. The method can include the steps of indexing documents and storing document information in a database, registering with an operating system for notification of changes to the documents, and responding to received notification of changes by updating the database to reflect the addition, modification, renaming and/or deletion of documents. Unlike traditional document systems, the document index described herein can be updated without rescanning all the indexed documents.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for indexing documents in a quasi real-time manner. The method can include the steps of indexing documents and storing document information in a database, registering with an extended MAPI layer of an e-mail program for notification of changes to the documents, and responding to received notification of changes by updating the database to reflect the addition, modification, and/or deletion of documents. Unlike traditional document systems, the document index described herein can be updated without rescanning all the indexed documents.
