  • Patent number: 9563335
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for suggesting uniform resource locators located at previously unknown hosts to users. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to record uniform resource locators (URLs) associated with web resources accessed by a user and usage details pertaining to the user's usage of the web resources. Responsive to receiving a request to access a hostname not stored in the recorded URLs, embodiments of the present invention can be used to receive URLs associated with web resources available at the hostname and assign weight values to the received URLs based, at least in part, on the usage details and a similarity between the received URLs and the recorded URLs. Embodiments of the present invention can then be used to generate a URL suggestion from the received URLs based, at least in part, on the assigned weight values.

  • Patent number: 9459769
    Abstract: Input is received to store information to access content displayed within a browser as a bookmark. A bookmark properties form is generated to include fields in which environments are identified as corresponding to the bookmark. Input is received that includes a first URL corresponding to the label of a first bookmark within a first environment. The bookmark is stored by including in the properties form, a label of the bookmark, the first environment corresponding to the bookmark, and the first URL corresponding to the first environment. A second URL is received that corresponds to the label of the first bookmark, but within a second environment, and includes the second environment in the properties form as corresponding to the label of the bookmark, and includes the second URL in the properties form as corresponding to the second environment, wherein the first URL differs from the second URL.

  • Publication number: 20150286661
    Abstract: A method and system for sizing databases. Multiple patterns of historical capacity usage by multiple databases are identified. The multiple patterns are statistically significant for multiple characteristics pertaining to utilization of multiple historic databases. The capacity usage is memory usage or central processing unit (CPU) usage. A weighted value of capacity usage is computed for each pattern as an average value of historical capacity usage for each pattern weighted by a function of a fraction of the multiple databases used for each pattern. A total value of capacity usage is computed as a sum of the weighted values of capacity usage. The computed total value of capacity usage is stored. A current database is sized, utilizing the computed total value of capacity usage. The database sizing may be based on query complexity in dependence on rates of occurrence of queries to the historic databases and to the current database.

  • Publication number: 20140351721
    Abstract: In a method for redrawing a two web page windows that are being moved from a first display screen to a second display screen, an indication is received that each respective web page window is being moved from a first display to a second display. A processor identifies different scaling factors corresponding to uniform resource locators (URLs) of each respective web page window for scaling the web page windows for display on the second display screen. The processor causes the first web page window to be scaled according to the first scaling factor and the second web page window to be scaled according to the second, different scaling factor, wherein each web page window is scaled differently relative to the other on the second display screen than on the first display screen.
