Abstract: One or more server devices receive a request associated with a link, where the link is further associated with a comment and where the comment provides an opinion of, or remarks upon, a content of a document. The one or more server devices retrieve a content of the comment associated with the link from a database and retrieve the document. The one or more server devices generate another document that displays the content of the comment and includes a frame that further displays the document, and send the generated another document to the client device.

Abstract: A computing device is configured to receive a configuration file. The configuration filed includes at least one reference to a static file associated with a web page of a website. The static file is ranked as a most-downloaded static file, of a plurality of static files, by a provider of the configuration file and the website. The computing device is further configured to retrieve the static file based on the reference; store the static file in a memory local to the computing device; receive a request for the web page; identify the static file for the web page; and use the static file to display the web page in a browser associated with the computing device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a process request, identifying a current state of a device in which the process request is to be executed, calculating a power consumption associated with an execution of the process request, and assigning an urgency for the process request, where the urgency corresponds to a time-variant parameter to indicate a measure of necessity for the execution of the process request. The method further includes determining whether the execution of the process request can be delayed to a future time or not based on the current state, the power consumption, and the urgency, and causing the execution of the process request, or causing a delay of the execution of the process request to the future time, based on a result of the determining.

Abstract: An automated technique compares two sets of documents (such as two source codebases) to automatically determine documents within each set that are similar to one another. The technique constructs a matrix relating pairs of documents from the first and second sets of documents to lines that occur in both documents in each of the pairs of documents. A similarity score is calculated for each of the pairs of documents based on the lines from the matrix.

Abstract: A device may maintain, in a database, a plurality of data items, each data item of the plurality of data items being associated with a respective category and supplemental information relating to deletion of the data item. The device may associate a group of counters with at least one of the categories and receive a deletion request corresponding to one of the group of categories, the deletion request including the supplemental information. The device may identify a counter associated with the category corresponding to the deletion request based on the supplemental information. The device may then increment the identified counters and selectively delete the data items based on values of the counters.

Abstract: An Augmented Lagrangian Pattern Search (ALPS) algorithm that attempts to solve a non-linear optimization problem subject to non-linear, linear, and, bound constraints is discussed. The present invention utilizes information from the linear and bound constraints, formulates sub-problems using Lagrange parameter estimates and appropriate penalty parameters (using a log barrier), and provides a robust update formulae for parameters which guides the algorithm towards a minimum. The present invention solves a general non-linear optimization problem without using any slack variables to convert the inequality constraints to equality constraints or equality constraints to inequality constraints.

Abstract: Perceived domain name service (DNS) lookup latency can be reduced for the user of a browser program. A server determines domain names that the user is likely to request in the future. In one implementation, a list of these domain names is transmitted to the browser program as a separate command. The browser program may then lookup up the domain names in the background before the user selects a link corresponding to the domain names. In another implementation, the domain names are transmitted to the browser program by embedding the domain names in a web document, in which the embedded information is not visible in the rendered version of the web document.

Abstract: A device may include logic configured to receive a packet, identify a flow associated with the packet in a flow table, and identify a rate limit associated with the flow in the flow table. A current rate associated with the flow may be calculated based on the packet. It may be determined whether the current rate associated with the flow exceeds the rate limit associated with the flow. If so, the packet may be discarded or tagged as “over limit.

Abstract: A method is provided for forming an interconnect in a semiconductor memory device. The method includes forming a pair of source select transistors on a substrate. A source region is formed in the substrate between the pair of source select transistors. A first inter-layer dielectric is formed between the pair of source select transistors. A mask layer is deposited over the pair of source select transistors and the inter-layer dielectric, where the mask layer defines a local interconnect area between the pair of source select transistors having a width less than a distance between the pair of source select transistors. The semiconductor memory device is etched to remove a portion of the first inter-layer dielectric in the local interconnect area, thereby exposing the source region. A metal contact is formed in the local interconnect area.

Abstract: A portable electronic communication device includes an image memory that stores an image in its original colors; a display that presents the image, in its original colors, when received from the image memory, based on an instruction, received from a user of the portable electronic communication device, to present the image without adjustment to the original colors; and a white balance adjustment device including multiple image signal adjusters that adjust signal levels of image signals corresponding to particular colors, where, when another instruction is received from the user to adjust the original colors, the white balance adjustment device controls the multiple image signal adjusters, based on user input, to select color adjustments and apply the color adjustments to create a color-adjusted image. The portable electronic device also includes another memory that stores the color-adjusted image, where the display is configured to present the color-adjusted image when received from the other memory.

Abstract: A device includes a memory that includes a number of banks. The device receives requests for accessing the memory, determines the banks to which the requests are intended, determines one or more of the banks that are available, selects one or more of the requests to send to the memory based on the one or more of the banks that are available and have a request to be serviced, and sends the selected one or more requests to the memory.

Abstract: Methods, systems and mediums are disclosed for aligning mass spectrometry data before the analysis of the mass spectrometry data. The mass spectrometry data may be received from a mass spectrometry machine, and re-sampled using a smooth warping function. To estimate the warping function, a synthetic signal is build using, for example, Gaussian pulses centered at a set of reference peaks. The reference peaks may be designated by users or calculated after observing a group of spectrograms. The synthetic signal is shifted and scaled so that the cross-correlation between the mass spectrometry data and the synthetic signal reaches its maximum value.

Abstract: A technique for analyzing a model, either statically or dynamically, checks the model for one or more specified patterns with respect to accessing a data store associated with the model. The patterns may include, for example, writing to the data store prior to reading the data store, reading the data store prior to writing to the data store, writing to the data store multiple times prior to reading the data store, reading the data store multiple times before writing to the data store, etc. The model may be an executable graphical model that is generated in a graphical modeling environment. A result may be generated based on analyzing the model and the result may be output.

Abstract: A device receives, from a wireless access point, a pairwise master key identification (PMKID) based on a known pairwise master key (PMK), and determines whether the received PMKID matches one of multiple PMKIDs stored in a cache associated with the device. The device dynamically generates a PMKID based on the known PMK when the received PMKID does not match one of the multiple PMKIDs stored in the cache, and performs a fast four-way handshake to establish a secure connection between the device and the wireless access point when the dynamically generated PMKID matches the received PMKID.
