Abstract: Architecture that enables a user to designate acceptance to receiving social cards from other user in a social network using a personal digital assistant. A mapping component maintains the mappings of all users who have accepted to participate in card sharing and the acceptance level. A whitelist of users can be created that lists the users to whom a social card can be sent from an endpoint. The user can create local groups dynamically at runtime on the local endpoint, where the local groups enable the sharing of the personalized content with multiple users concurrently. The shared card is selected by the sending user and becomes available to the PDA on the proactive canvas of the recipient's PDA along with other cards. Based on the user engagement history, these cards can be ranked among other cards social or non-social PDA cards. Conflation, push notifications, and filtering are also provided.

Abstract: A framework for enhanced search is provided to enable the user to contextually search documents, based on specified events. A management framework provides systems for obtaining a user's contextual data and the user's interaction data for which a Context Graph and an Interaction Graph are created, respectively. The user's context data include the various events associated with the user. The user's interaction data include times and locations the user interacted with a particular document, which device was used, the type of interaction, etc. The data from the two graphs are correlated and joined into an event graph. Upon receiving a natural language query from a user, one or more contextual query elements are identified, and the event graph is spanned to identify matching results which are then provided to the requesting user device.

Abstract: A lower carbon steel alloy with specific substitutional alloying additions. The alloy is useful in the production of ASTM A516 grade pressure vessel steel plates with excellent HIC resistance. The material has a ferrite-pearlite microstructure, in normalized and stress relieved condition, appropriate for resisting hydrogen induced cracking, with isolated ferrite and pearlite constituents and no continuous pearlite bands. The material exhibits significant low temperature toughness.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for geocoding. An example method encompasses receiving, from a delivery data corpus, a delivery data comprising one or more addresses. The method thereafter comprises identifying, one or more tokens from said one or more addresses. Further the method leads to calculating, for each of said one or more tokens, an end token score and a sub-sequence token score. The method thereafter encompasses chunking, said one or more addresses based on said end token score and said sub-sequence token score to generate one or more address chunks. Further the method comprises generating, one or more polygon regions for each generated address chunks based on said chunking. Thereafter the method comprises merging, one or more generated polygon regions for each of the generated address chunks.

Abstract: An IP address for a resource node may be discovered. In a method, a first client receives an IP address request. The IP address request includes destination geographical location information associated with the resource node. The first determines whether the destination geographical location information is within a geographical coverage area of the first client. The first client forwards the IP address request to a next client that is geographically closer to the resource node based on the destination geographical location information if the destination geographical location information is not within the geographical coverage area of the first client.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods of offloading user equipment communication traffic between communications drones. The methods may include receiving, at a candidate communication drone, a replacement request from a requesting communication drone. Radio frequency (RF) communication parameters may be set for the candidate communication drone to take over communications of the requesting communication drone. The RF communication parameters may be determined based on the replacement request and may distinguish the candidate communication drone from the requesting communication drone and at least one neighboring communication drone. The candidate communication drone may move toward a target position adjacent a position of the requesting communication drone without radiating RF communications for taking over communications of the requesting communication drone.
