Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for generating location-based playlists. The disclosed method includes providing a music service for generating playlists for a location, identifying users having respective user devices within the defined boundaries of the location, and aggregating music preferences of the identified users. Each of the user devices have access to the music service and the aggregated music preferences of the identified users identify a plurality of music tracks. The disclosed method further includes generating a playlist having the plurality of music tracks based on the aggregated music preferences and providing an access to the generated playlist to the identified users at the location. The plurality of music tracks of the playlist is provided for listening by the music service to one or more of the user devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving a search query, identifying a plurality of search results that are responsive to the search query, the plurality of search results including a plurality of items of digital content distributed using one or more social networking services, and determining that one or more terms provided in the search query is an active keyword and, in response: defining a first sub-set of items, the first sub-set of items including items of the plurality of items of digital content and being responsive to the active keyword, and providing items in the first sub-set of items for display as a discussion stream within search results.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus are described herein that includes identifying a partial query entered into a search field. A query completion template is then provided for display for a category of information associated with one or more terms within the partial query, the query completion template including an interactive field that is user editable. User interaction with the interactive field is the identified. Display of the query completion template is then updated to include the results of the user interaction within the interactive of the query completion template. User selection of the updated query completion template is then identified, and in response the updated display of the query completion template is transmitted as a search query.

Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method for displaying a list of entries for a social content stream is provided. A set of entries is obtained from at least one source associated with the social content stream. Information is extracted from each entry of the set of entries. A hierarchical order of the set of entries is determined based on the at least one of the user view count or the number of user hits. An arrangement of frames corresponding to the set of entries based on the determined hierarchical order is provided for display. The frames are displayable within a predefined area of a display on a user device. The size of each frame is based on the determined hierarchical order of the set of entries.

Abstract: System and method of dividing a window according to trail are provided. The system and the method record the moving trail of an indicating signal and then divide the window according to the moving trail into two independent blocks to display the file separately. By completing the procedures, the system and the method enable a user to divide a window according to a user-defined direction, and therefore further enhance the contrast effect between different parts of a file.

Abstract: Scatterometers and methods of using scatterometry to determine several parameters of periodic microstructures, pseudo-periodic structures, and other very small structures having features sizes as small as 100 nm or less. Several specific embodiments of the present invention are particularly useful in the semiconductor industry to determine the width, depth, line edge roughness, wall angle, film thickness, and many other parameters of the features formed in microprocessors, memory devices, and other semiconductor devices. The scatterometers and methods of the invention, however, are not limited to semiconductor applications and can be applied equally well in other applications.

Abstract: A message identification system and method, which is applicable to an electronic communication device capable of sending and receiving messages; includes the following steps: acquiring the communication number of a sending end whose sending message is received by the electronic communication device; comparing the communication number of the sending end with a default communication number, if the communication number of the sending end is identical to the default communication number, storing the received message in a first storage sub-unit, otherwise, the communication number of the sending end is not identical to the default communication number, creating a connection between the electronic communication device and the sending end; next, if the creating of the connection between the electronic communication device and the sending end succeeds, storing the received message in a second storage sub-unit, otherwise, the creating of the connection between the electronic communication device and the sending end fa

Abstract: In a method for data training, training is performed using multiple entries of data in a database of web pages, libraries, patent documents, etc., in combination with data selected or labeled by a user. The data training utilizes a scheme based principally on a machine learning algorithm but providing more efficient processing techniques. Thus, quick learning can be achieved with fewer feedbacks to save the user's time and to save computer computational resources, and data can be classified or filtered effectively.
