Patent number: 8997001Abstract: A system may receive a first user input that identifies an optical route in an optical network, may receive a second user input that identifies a direction with which to display the optical route, and may provide, based on the first user input and the second user input, a user interface. The user interface may display optical links associated with the optical route, and may display network entities associated with the optical route. The user interface may display a source entity, where the source entity identifies a source of an optical transmission carried by an optical link, and may display a destination entity, where the destination entity identifies a destination for the optical transmission. The interface may also display an optical power with which the optical transmission is transmitted from the source entity, and may display an optical power with which the optical transmission is received at the destination entity.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Jagadeesh Virupaksha Huliyar, Lam D. Hoang, Kiran Dintakurthi, Vasudha N. Bhaskara, Dharmendra Naik

Patent number: 8996976Abstract: Various embodiments utilize page scripting and parsing to identify the target destination of a hyperlink and provide a visual indication of the destination to the user without causing redirection to the target destination. In some embodiments, hyperlink color, highlighting, or icons are used to indicate the destination. Particular colors and/or icons selected to indicate the destination can, in some embodiments, be selected based on the domain hosting the target destination. In at least some embodiments, the destination of a link is determined by the page script run by a web browser on a user's device, while in other embodiments, information is transmitted to a web request handler on the server hosting the web site to determine the destination.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Hatem Zeine, Meir Shmouely

Patent number: 8996984Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatic visual preview of non-visual data. A visual preview of non-visual data is generated by obtaining the non-visual data; obtaining metadata describing one or more semantic data types in the obtained non-visual data; selecting one or more visual metaphors for the obtained non-visual data based on the metadata; and generating the visual preview of the non-visual data using the one or more selected visual metaphors. As used herein, non-visual data does not have an established automatic method for generating a preview of the non-visual data. A user can optionally interact with the visual preview.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Kissa, Zhen Wen, Qiang Zhang
