Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, receiving a search query from a user; determining that a voting user interface (VUI) is to be provided based on the search query, the VUI enabling the user to submit one or more votes in a vote-based campaign; receiving search results that are responsive to the search query; and transmitting instructions to display the search results and the VUI.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining navigational search results based on one or more signals are presented. A partial search query of a user may be received. A superset of candidate navigational search results may be determined based on the partial query. A subset of navigational search results may be selected from the superset based at least in part on one or more signals. The subset of navigational search results may then be provided for presentation to the user independently from presentation to the user of other search results that are responsive to the partial query.

Abstract: Systems and methods for conveying search results at a computing device are provided. The systems and methods provide a user interface for an email application. The user interface comprises a search field. User entry of a portion of a search term, comprising at least one character, is detected in the search field. In response, a recommended search completion term is also displayed in the search field. The recommended search completion term comprises the portion of a search term. A plurality of search results is then displayed in a graphical overlay panel that is overlaid on a portion of the user interface. These search results are from a plurality of sources independently selected from the group consisting of: contact information, email messages, documents, calendar entries, email labels, recent searches and web searches.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for reproducing grey values by reproducing pixels with specific dimensions and degrees of coverage. Use is made of a method based on error diffusion, wherein no clustering of identical pixels is the objective in edge zones while such clustering is the objective outside such zones.

Abstract: A method and device for parallel intralinear halftoning of digitized grey value images divided into lines pixels, including (1) successive thresholding of grey values of the pixels and (2) transportation of a quantization error for each pixel to at least one neighboring pixel still to be thresholded by adjusting the grey value of the at least one neighboring pixel with at least a portion of the quantization error. The halftoning includes: dividing each of the lines of pixels into at least two disparate groups of pixels; separately thresholding each group of pixels within each line; and transporting the quantization error from a pixel of one group to at least one pixel of at least one other disparate group.

Abstract: In the coding of image data corresponding to a raster of pixel values, a generalized run length coding is used in respect of the difference between the pixel values in the raster line to be coded and the pixel values in the same position in the preceding raster line, such that with respect to multi-value pixels (gray values), the generalized run length coding comprises an approximation of the course of the differences as a function of the position in the raster line with a linear function and the code then contains the number of pixels and a characterization of the approximating function, and with respect to binary pixels (on/off), the length is simply a determination of the series of pixel values each equal to the pixel value in the same position in the preceding raster line, wherein in a particularly effective embodiment, this generalized run length coding with respect to the preceding line is combined with generalized run length coding of the pixel values within a line, both methods each being performed in

Abstract: The original image reproduced on a pixel raster is taken apart into a number of adjoining pixel structures and these are each replaced by a resolution-independent replacement surface, in accordance with rules described in the application. The replacement surfaces together form a resolution-independent intermediate image which is mapped on a new pixel raster with the required different resolution.
