Abstract: Tools and techniques for a polymorphic query box operating on a computing device are described herein. The polymorphic query box application provides an adaptive query box via a single graphical user interface that detects an input scenario based on the type of input received via the polymorphic query box. In accordance with the detected scenario, the polymorphic query box dynamically changes appearance and function. In some implementations, the techniques include the polymorphic application ordering web search and/or translation based on the input being received. In some implementations, the techniques include providing context sensitive controls for input editing before completing the query.

The load driver may include a voltage limiting circuit including a first polar capacitor and a second polar capacitor connected in inverse series, which are connected in parallel respectively with first and second current limiting elements, where the first and second current limiting elements limit the direction in which current flows so that current flows through different polar capacitors in positive and negative halves of a cycle of an alternating-current power supply.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for providing alternative market search results are provided. A user search query in a first market is received. Search results relevant to the user search query are identified for the first market in a first language. A user intent to receive search results for the user search query for a second market and in a second language is determined. A search results page is presented that includes headings and search results for the first market in the first language as well as a search result toggle that includes a user-selectable option to present alternative search results for a second market in a second language. Selection of the option to present alternative search results causes search results for the second market and in the second language to be presented in the search results page along with the search results page headings in the first language.

Abstract: A driving device for an illuminating device may include a plurality of sub illuminating units. The driving device may include a plurality of sub driving modules in series connected to an input voltage source to distributively store energy from the input voltage source. Each of the sub driving modules is allocated with and electrically connected with one sub illuminating unit so as to release the stored energy to the sub illuminating unit allocated thereto.

Abstract: In some disclosed aspects, a method of delivering messages over an electronic network includes retrieving, via an electronic processor, a first message from a message pool, determining, via the electronic processor, a delay associated with obtaining an identity of a remote receiver device of the retrieved first message, transmitting the first message to the remote receiver device if the delay is less than a threshold and storing the first message in a data store if the delay is greater than the threshold.

Abstract: A dimmer circuit may include: a rectification module, a control module and an output module, wherein the control module receives an input signal rectified through the rectification module and controls the output module to supply a load with an output signal in accordance with the input signal, and a compensation module which collects sampled signals characterizing dimming state of the dimmer circuit between the control module and the output module, and supplies the control module with a compensation signal in accordance with the sampled signals, the control module changing the value of the output signal according to the input signal and the compensation signal.

Abstract: Messages are received and retained in memory and are batch processed including transferring the messages to a cell pool having cells of predetermined size. The location and size of the messages are recorded in a table map with other pertinent information as is required. Messages in the cell pool are processed and delivered asynchronously.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for presenting video as at least a portion of the background of search engine home pages are provided. Upon receiving a request for presentation of a search engine home page, a static image is transmitted for presentation as at least a portion of the background for the search engine home page. Also transmitted is a streaming video file. The static image may or may not be associated with the streaming video file. After a predetermined amount of time, play of the streaming video file is initiated without user action, the streaming video file replacing the static image as at least a portion of the background of the search engine home page. In this way, the user receives a seamless transition from a static image to a video presentation and is provided a rich, immersive experience at the search engine home page.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for providing alternative market search results are provided. A user search query in a first market is received. Search results relevant to the user search query are identified for the first market in a first language. A user intent to receive search results for the user search query for a second market and in a second language is determined. A search results page is presented that includes headings and search results for the first market in the first language as well as a search result toggle that includes a user-selectable option to present alternative search results for a second market in a second language. Selection of the option to present alternative search results causes search results for the second market and in the second language to be presented in the search results page along with the search results page headings in the first language.

Abstract: The present invention is related to methods, processes, and systems that enable web users to quickly create, customize, and publish rich media contents via Internet. Web addresses and attributes with regard to the published rich media contents are also generated. The published rich media contents, web addresses and attributes are stored locally in a centralized place, but they can be called by any geographically distributed third-party websites or remote web users, and then be presented on the third-party websites or the terminal devices of the remote web users. Furthermore, the present invention also enables web users to quickly create and customize personal online stores at a centralized place, and then list the published rich media contents in their personal online stores.

Abstract: A non-cylindrically surfaced lens converts a collimated light beam into a light plane that increases a light intensity toward distal portions of the light plane's arc so as to substantially uniformly project a reference light line onto a reference surface onto which the light plane is projected. The non-cylindrically surfaced lens has first and second surfaces that remain constant over at least a portion of the z direction length of the lens. The second surface defines a multiple-radius curve in an x,y plane. The lens may be incorporated into a self-leveled optical device that projects a reference light line onto a reference surface at a predetermined angle relative to horizontal.
