Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for enabling all wins multiplier features on gaming devices during multiplayer gaming tournament play. The all wins multiplier features may be simultaneously engaged on multiple gaming devices at a predetermined point in time, and may generally all simultaneously terminate the all wins multiplier feature at the same time. Multiple different all wins multiplier features using different multiplier values may be enabled at different times during a particular tournament session.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for selecting an application to be used to manipulate a file in a computing environment. The technique includes receiving a request to manipulate a file, the file having a file type, identifying a plurality of applications associated with the file type in the computing environment, and selecting an application from the plurality of applications associated with the file type based at least in part on context information representing a context of the computing environment. Each of the identified plurality of applications associated with the file type are capable of manipulating files of the file type.

Abstract: A method and a system is provided to process data. For example, the method and system may be used to store (e.g., archive) documents. In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving a quantum of data and creating n data pieces of size s from the quantum of data. The method may comprise generating k random numbers of size s, wherein k defines a minimum number of processed data pieces required to reconstruct the quantum of data, and performing polynomial arithmetic modulo prime on the n data pieces. The polynomial arithmetic may utilize polynomial of order k and the prime may be selected based on a bit processing capability of a processor used to process the data. The prime may be 28+1 when the bit processing capability of a processor is 16 bits and 216+1 when the bit processing capability of a processor is 32 bits.

Abstract: In general, a genre classification can be determined for a document, the genre classification including multiple terms and corresponding scores indicating confidence levels for the terms with respect to the document. A relevant node in a document control policy ontology can be identified in accordance with the genre classification, and a confidence level for applicability of the relevant node can be assessed based at least in part upon at least one of the scores. A parent node of the relevant node in the document control policy ontology can be selected to stand in for the relevant node if the assessed confidence level for applicability of the relevant node falls below a threshold. At least one document control policy can be recommended to govern access to the document based on the identified or selected relevant node in the document control policy ontology.

Abstract: A method and a system is provided of to process data. For example, the method and system may be used to archive documents. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving original data for archiving and converting the original data into a plurality of shares using secret sharing. The plurality of shares may be distributed (e.g., to a plurality of remote repositories that each store a share. The plurality of shares may be distributed via a wide area network to a plurality of Internet Service Providers, for example, via an email message which is stored thereby to archive the share. A header of the email message may be used as a time stamp for each share. The repositories may be independent and geographically dispersed and a monitor may be provided to monitor a share stored at each repositories.

Abstract: This specification describes technologies relating to identifying an appropriate document control policy for a given document. In general, a method can include determining for a document a genre classification including multiple terms and corresponding scores indicating confidence levels for the terms with respect to the document; identifying a relevant node in a document control policy ontology in accordance with the genre classification; assessing a confidence level for applicability of the relevant node based at least in part upon at least one of the scores; selecting a parent node of the relevant node in the document control policy ontology to stand in for the relevant node if the assessed confidence level for applicability of the relevant node falls below a threshold; and recommending at least one document control policy to govern access to the document based on the identified or selected relevant node in the document control policy ontology.
