Abstract: A system and associated method for determining web analytics information. A Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request for a target page referred from a referring page by a mouse click is processed to calculate web analytics data in the target page. The web analytics data regarding a mouse cursor position, a 2-dimensional information of the target page, and the URL of the referring page is transmitted to a web analytics server to generate the web analytics information for the referring page in format of a heat map of the referring page.

Abstract: A method for simulating a circuit. The method includes, in response to a first mode change triggering event at a first time point and in response to a first data transfer triggering event at a second time point after the first time point, generating a random value of at least a first random value and a second random value. In response to the generated random value being the first random value, a first input value of an input of the circuit is assigned to an output of the circuit. In response to the generated random value being the second random value, an output value of the output of the circuit is maintained. In response to a second data transfer triggering event at a third time point after the second time point, a second input value of the input of the circuit is assigned to the output of the circuit.

Abstract: A method and system enabling a user to navigate through a repository of graphical displays and maintain knowledge of the location of any display in the repository. The navigation enables a user to create a slide presentation by searching, selecting, downloading and compiling slides from a central slide repository. Graphical displays are arranged in a repository in a grid-like configuration such that a list of groups displayed in one direction and the specific displays within that group are listed in another (e.g., perpendicular) direction. These groups of slides are arranged in a set of directories and sub-directories that are linked to each directory. A hierarchy of the display repository displays the particular directory and sub-directory path taken by a user to retrieve any particular graphical display. A user may navigate through the display repository and select displays and determine their location in the display repository.

Abstract: A method and system for efficiently answering a local neighborhood aggregation query over graph data. A graph which has a plurality of nodes is received and stored in memory. A local neighborhood aggregation query is received. A processing engine applies forward processing with differential index-based pruning, backward processing using partial distribution, or an enhanced backward processing that combines the backward processing and the forward processing. As a result of the forward, backward, or enhanced backward processing, nodes in the graph that have the top-k highest aggregate values over neighbors within h-hops of the nodes are determined. Identities of entities or persons associated with the determined nodes are presented and/or stored.

Abstract: A process for switching media streams of a video in a client system. The media streams are made available to the client system by a content providing system. A first media stream received from the content providing system is played in a SHOW mode in the client system. An environmental change in an environment within or adjacent to the client system is detected, resulting in executing a procedure for deciding whether to switch from playing the first media stream to playing a second media stream differing from the first media stream. The executed procedure decides to make the switch. The switch is made to playing the second media stream in the SHOW mode as the second media stream is being received from the content providing system in response having been requested from the content providing system. The switching preserves content continuity of the video.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure. The structure includes (i) a semiconductor substrate which includes a channel region, (ii) first and second source/drain regions on the semiconductor substrate, (iii) a gate dielectric region, and (iv) a gate electrode region, (v) a plurality of interconnect layers on the gate electrode region, and (vi) first and second spaces. The gate dielectric region is disposed between and in direct physical contact with the channel region and the gate electrode region. The gate electrode region is disposed between and in direct physical contact with the gate dielectric region and the interconnect layers. The first and second spaces are in direct physical contact with the gate electrode region. The first space is disposed between the first source/drain region and the gate electrode region. The second space is disposed between the second source/drain region and the gate electrode region.

Abstract: A selection method and system. The method comprises receiving by a tracking apparatus data comprising audio/video data segments with associated tracking data segments. The audio/video data segments and the associated tracking data segments are associated with a plurality of locations. The tracking apparatus is moved within a specified proximity of a first location of the locations. The tracking apparatus senses the first location. The tracking apparatus retrieves a first audio/video data segment of the audio/video data segments associated with the first location. The retrieving is based on a first tracking data segment of the associated tracking data segments associated with the first audio/video data segment. The tracking apparatus broadcasts a specified portion of the first audio/video data segment. The specified portion is dependent on a specified condition of the tracking apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating a business process communication and managing business processes. First business process data is obtained from at least one first trading participant and processed at a process management platform configured to automatically determine second trading participants to satisfy the first business process data. A second protocol is identified for conducting business transactions used by the second trading participants. Second business process data is generated from the first business process data. The second business process data includes a set of transaction messages having a data format in accordance with the identified second protocol. The second business process data is transmitted from the process management platform to the second trading participants. The first and second trading participants conduct the business transactions in accordance with their respective protocols for conducting business transactions.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes an outer body having a first end and an opposing second end, an inner body having a first inner end and a second inner end, and a post interconnected with the inner body. A fastener portion is at the first end of the outer body. A compression sleeve is disposed to fit on the second inner end. The post, the inner body, and the compression sleeve are movable with respect to the outer body between a first position in which the connector is not mounted to an equipment port and a second position when the connector is mounted to the equipment port. When the fastener portion is mounted to the equipment port, an indicator portion on the compression sleeve is made visible to a user.
