  • Patent number: 9244934
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to architectures, methods and systems and structures that facilitate the sharing and synchronization of electronically stored files among and between cloud entities and a number of computers, systems, devices and/or users. One particular exemplary architectural aspect includes the serial processing and ordering of work items associated with file system changes such that correct parallel execution of the work items may proceed resulting in the synchronization of the cloud file system and the client computer file system.

  • Patent number: 9239846
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to architectures, methods and systems and structures that facilitate the sharing and synchronization of electronically stored files among and between cloud entities and a number of computers, systems, devices and/or users. One particular exemplary architectural aspect includes the concurrent determination of file system changes within a cloud file system and a client file system, the serial ordering of necessary file system operations in response to the determined file system changes, and the concurrent execution of file system operations such that the cloud file system and the client computer file system are synchronized.

  • Patent number: 8655727
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying advertisement and search term combinations for placing advertisements along with search results. The advertisement system includes multiple advertisement generators that automatically create advertisement sets that each contain one or more advertisements, one or more search terms, and a link to an advertised item. The advertisement system also includes an advertisement manager that receives the advertisement sets from the advertisement generators, identifies a fee to be associated with each advertisement set, and selects which advertisement sets are to be submitted to various search engine services. The advertisement system may also include a fee calculator that generates a fee amount or bid for each advertisement set.

  • Publication number: 20130282830
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to architectures, methods and systems and structures that facilitate the sharing and synchronization of electronically stored files among and between cloud entities and a number of computers, systems, devices and/or users. One particular exemplary architectural aspect includes the aggregation of change events associated with a local file system into higher order change events that are then used to effect sharing and synchronization of electronically stored files between a client file system and a cloud file system.

  • Publication number: 20060195467
    Abstract: A data organization system comprises an interface component that receives input that relates to properties associated with a first item type. A set generator component filters a collection of items of the first item type as a function of select properties associated with the input and creates and stores a first filtered set of items of the first item type. The first filtered set of items can, for example, be stored as one of a dynamic set and a static set.

  • Publication number: 20060041536
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying search terms for placing advertisements along with search results is provided. The advertisement system selects a description of an item that is to be advertised. The advertisement system then retrieves documents that match the selected description. The advertisement system generates a score for each word of the retrieved documents that indicates relatedness of the word to the item to be advertised. After generating the scores for the words, the advertisement system identifies phrases of the words within the documents that are related to the item. The advertisement system then generates search terms for the item to be advertised from the identified phrases. The advertisement system submits the search terms and an advertisement to a search engines service for placement of a paid-for advertisement for the item.
