  • Patent number: 9348846
    Abstract: A method and system for providing user-navigable search results returns a resource representation for a resource, such as a web site or other Internet accessible object. The resource representation may be navigable by a user in a manner mirroring navigation of the resource. The resource representation may include a plurality of indicators representing menu links selected from resource links associated with the resource. Selection of an indicator may cause content associated with the indicator, such as resource links and related snippets, to be displayed. A hierarchical arrangement of elements in the resource representation may correspond to a hierarchical arrangement of navigable content in the resource.

  • Publication number: 20160121590
    Abstract: A method for adhesively bonding two substrates using an adhesive film that bonds adhesively by activation with heat, wherein the adhesive film is not adhesive at room temperature, in a first step the adhesive film is laminated in a heated state onto the first of the substrates to be adhesively bonded, after the lamination, the side of the adhesive film that is not in contact with the first substrate to be adhesively bonded is initially exposed in order to be able to be brought into contact with the second substrate to be adhesively bonded, the adhesive film is activated by irradiating with electromagnetic radiation in the near infrared range (NIR), by heating to a temperature TK above the lowest activation temperature TA,u, and the adhesive bonding with the second substrate to be adhesively bonded is brought about by means of the activation by the NIR radiation.

  • Patent number: 9298779
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. Search results responsive to a query are identified including a first search result in a top set of search results, the first search result associated with a first entity. A first eligible content item is identified for presentation along with the search results, the first eligible content item associated with the first entity. A combined content item is identified that is a combination of the first search result and first eligible content item and is to be presented as a search result responsive to the query. The combined content item is augmented including: identifying entities related to the first entity, identifying content items that are associated with the related entities, selecting at least one identified content item, and using content from the selected content items to augment the combined content item.

  • Patent number: 9047539
    Abstract: A medical information processing and storage system includes a medical images database storing medical images and metadata relevant to the medical images. A processor is configured to perform post-acquisition image processing on medical images. A medical images archiver is configured to store a medical image in the medical images database after the medical image has been processed by the processor. The medical images archiver stores the medical image in the database with processing-descriptive metadata that is descriptive of the post-acquisition image processing performed on the medical image by the processor.
