Abstract: According to an example, a security apparatus to house a device may include a chassis, a front stop having a front stop wall and a front stop opening, a rear stop having a rear stop wall and a rear stop opening, a front cover to be positioned in front of the front stop having a front cover opening, in which the front stop wall blocks direct line of sight into the front opening of the chassis through the front cover opening when the front cover is positioned in front of the front stop, and a rear cover to be positioned behind the rear stop having a rear cover opening, in which the rear cover blocks direct line of sight into the rear opening of the chassis through the rear cover opening when the rear cover is positioned behind the rear stop wall.

Abstract: Methods and systems for efficient query rewriting and the like are described here. One such described method comprises: offline mapping frequently-seen search queries to rewritten queries that may be better for searching; offline caching the mapping in a cache memory; and upon receiving a search query from a user similar to one of the mapped search queries, obtaining a corresponding rewritten query from the mapping in the cache memory based on predetermined conditions, and issuing a search of the rewritten query to the backend data system in order to avoid having to issue a search query to the backend data system twice while the user is online.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying substitute terms. According to one implementation, a method includes receiving an original query that includes one or more query terms; obtaining initial search results in response to the original query; identifying an over-represented term in text associated with a subset of the initial search results; determining that the over-represented term is associated with a particular query term; and in response to determining the over-represented term is associated with the particular query term, revising the original query to include the over-represented term.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for searching and ranking linked information sources. The techniques include receiving multiple content items from a corpus of content items; receiving digital signatures each made by one of multiple agents, each digital signature associating one of the agents with one or more of the content items; and assigning a score to a first agent of the multiple agents, wherein the score is based upon the content items associated with the first agent by the digital signatures.

Abstract: A system receives a search query from a user and performs a search of a corpus of documents, based on the search query, to form a ranked set of search results. The system re-ranks the set of search results based on preferences of the user, or a group of users, and provides the re-ranked search results to the user.

Abstract: A method of recambering an aerofoil section. A position on one of the surfaces that intersects with a passage shock between adjacent aerofoils is determined and then projected as a shock position onto the camber line. A shock region encompassing the shock position and extending in a chordal direction towards the leading and trailing edges is defined. The camber line is recalculated in an upstream region using semi-inverse design. The camber line is extrapolated across the shock region to match a geometric criterion. The camber line is recalculated in a downstream region using semi-inverse design.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for permitting users to efficiently identify a desired branch location for a rental vehicle reservation. For example, a user-selectable link can be provided on a website page that, upon user selection, restricts a list of available branch locations in an area to only airport branch locations in that area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for expediting how rental vehicle reservations can be booked by employing deep-link uniform resource locators (URLs) that encode aspects of a rental vehicle reservation transaction to relieve users of a need to enter reservation data themselves when booking a rental vehicle reservation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for improved control over how customers can interact with a rental vehicle reservation booking site, including user interfaces for defining customer accounts and user interfaces for defining promotional offers with respect to rental vehicle reservations.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a reservation booking website wherein customers who plan to travel via general aviation (GA) are provided with a GA reservation creation path that is responsive to their GA travel needs.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a reservation booking website for rental vehicle reservations wherein the customer profiles include “favorite” or “preferred” branch locations for rental vehicle reservations to expedite the customers' rental vehicle reservation booking experiences.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for expediting the ability of a customer to book a new rental vehicle reservation after booking a previous rental vehicle reservation. A link can be provided on a screen such as a confirmation page for a previous rental vehicle reservation that, upon customer selection, causes a new reservation transaction to be automatically loaded with data from the previous rental vehicle reservation.

Abstract: Compositions of flupirtine for management of neuropathic or inflammatory pain optionally including one or more other analgesics including opiates, NSAIDS and other active agents in immediate and controlled release forms. Methods and systems for administration of these compositions.
