Abstract: A user device for presenting eBooks generates a navigation history that allows a user to easily navigate to previously accessed positions within the eBook. The navigation history can be stored on an eBook server and shared with other user devices used by the same user. The navigation history may be generated by receiving actions regarding navigation within the eBook, an action navigating from a current reading position within the eBook to a corresponding navigation position in the eBook; filtering the received actions and the corresponding navigation positions to produce a filtered list of navigation positions; storing the filtered list of navigation positions in a navigation history; presenting the navigation history to the user; receiving a request from the user to navigate to a selected one of the navigation positions from the navigation history; and presenting a portion of the eBook at the selected navigation position.

Abstract: One or more embodiments are directed to creating a structure comprising a weak reference to an object, a strong reference to the object, a count of remote references to the object, and an identifier for the object, incrementing the count when a remote reference is created to the object and decrementing the count when a remote reference is removed, setting the strong reference in response to the count being greater than a first threshold in order to avoid a garbage collection of the object, clearing the strong reference in response to the count being less than a second threshold to enable a garbage collection of the object, and removing the structure and related resources based on a recognition of the object's collection through the weak reference.

Abstract: A similar document is retrieved by performing a search using diagram information within documents, without being influenced by the description language within documents or the wording of complex sentences. First, feature data (feature amounts) of images is extracted from diagrams that are dotted throughout a document, with respect to a designated document that is designated by a person doing the search. Thereafter, the similarity between documents is evaluated, by comparing the feature amounts of diagrams in the designated document with the feature amounts of diagrams in a document group serving as a search target that are extracted in advance. Ranking of similar documents to the designated document is realized, based on the evaluation result.

Abstract: A method and system for electronic content storage and retrieval using Galois Fields and geometric shapes on cloud computing networks. Plaintext electronic content is divided into plural portions and stored in plural cloud storage objects based on a created Xth dimensional geometric shape and a path through selected components of the geometric shape. Storage locations for the plural cloud storage objects are selected using a Galois field and the geometric shape. The plural cloud storage objects are distributed across the cloud network. When the electronic content is requested, the plural portions are retrieved and transparently combined back into the original electronic content.

Abstract: A method and system for archiving file data used by a virtual container. The container uses “real files” and “balloon” files. The “real files” are the container file system files that are mapped to corresponding blocks of the host file system. The “real files” are mapped upon creation. The “balloon” files are also created in the container file system, but any links to the blocks of the host file system are invalidated (mapping is removed) and the blocks of the host file system corresponding to a balloon file are marked as free. A hypervisor, a host OS or a Virtual Machine Monitor frees up real physical blocks completely, so these blocks become available for writes in the host file system. Thus, all references indicating that these blocks are occupied are removed.

Abstract: A programmable logic circuit assigns a value to an outlet of a power distribution unit (PDU) that comprises a power source at an input of the PDU and at least one light-emitting diode (LED) associated with the outlet. The programmable logic circuit sends the value to a program on a hardware device that comprises one or more power supplies. The programmable logic circuit receives information from the program. Subsequently, an illumination state of the LED is modified based on the information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for extracting products referenced in a document. A document is analyzed to identify a product type that is referenced in the document. Attributes are extracted from the document. A set of candidate products are identified corresponding to the extracted attributes. A score is calculated for the candidate products and the products are further selected or filtered based on the score, whitelist rules, and blacklist rules in order to identify one or more inferred products referenced by the document. The whitelist and blacklist rules may take as inputs a domain, a user identifier, and keywords included in the document. A set of sufficient attributes may be identified for each product type. Selection of a candidate product may be based at least in part on the document including all of the attributes in the set of sufficient attributes.

Abstract: A method and system for electronic content storage and retrieval using Galois Fields and information entropy on cloud computing networks.

Abstract: A method and system for electronic content storage and retrieval with Galois Fields on cloud computing networks. The electronic content is divided into plural portions and stored in plural cloud storage objects. Storage locations for the plural cloud storage objects are selected using a Galois field and the plural cloud storage objects are distributed across the cloud network. When the electronic content is requested, the plural portions are retrieved and transparently combined back into the original electronic content. No server network devices or target network devices can individually determine locations of all portions of the electronic content on the cloud communications network, thereby providing layers of security and privacy for the electronic content on the cloud communications network.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an alarm-based power saving mode and associated system implemented on a device for a microprocessor or a telematics circuitry, and more particularly, to an alarm and powered-up microprocessor-driven power latch for disabling a power source to a microprocessor or telematics circuitry at a power switch. A microprocessor and/or telematics circuitry are powered down by an instruction step from the microprocessor or the telematics circuitry by using a power switch to cut off power. The switch is controlled by a power latch, which is regulated by a wake-up value given to an alarm to enable the power latch and exercise power switch control, as well as by a value given directly by the microprocessor to enter the powered down mode.
