  • Patent number: 9026426
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which an input method editor receives graphemes in a first writing system and identifies lexical items in a second writing system based on the graphemes in the first writing system. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes receiving a first grapheme in a first writing system; using a grapheme graph of graphemes in the first writing system to identify a first n-gram representation in the first writing system of a first morpheme in a second writing system; using the first n-gram representation to locate one or more first nodes in a morpheme graph; selecting a first lexical item from the one or more first lexical items based on a first score associated with each of the one or more first lexical items; and providing the first lexical item for display on a user device.

  • Patent number: 8085134
    Abstract: A sampling rate allocation method for a wireless sensor network is provided. In this method, a distributed computing method is adopted to allow each node to calculate and obtain its decision table and energy table and upload its energy table to its parent node, and finally, the number of samples to be provided by all the child nodes is determined according to the decision table of the root node and a total sample number. Compared to the conventional techniques, the present invention provides a wireless sensor network which has longer life time and can meet the requirements to both the total number of samples and the fairness.

  • Publication number: 20110238686
    Abstract: A potential user query that can be subsequently received from a user is identified. An interface exposed by a data service is invoked, which includes providing the potential user query to the interface. Search results in response to the potential user query are received from the interface and maintained in a complex data set store. If a user query is subsequently received that maps to a normalized query that is the potential user query, then search results for the normalized query are obtained from the complex data set store and returned as the search results for the user query.
