Abstract: Some embodiments are implemented in a communication system that includes a first wireless communication system and a second wireless communication system that includes a Femtocell access point (FAP) and a network controller that can communicatively couple the FAP to the first wireless communication system. In some embodiments, the network controller can communicatively couple to the first wireless communication system through a UTRAN Iu interface. Some embodiments provide a resource management method that determines that a user equipment (UE) has roved in a region serviced by the FAP. The FAP includes a generic access resource control (GA-RC) protocol sub-layer. The method creates a separate GA-RC state dedicated to the UE in the GA-RC protocol sub-layer. The method also sets the GA-RC state dedicated to the UE to a deregistered state to indicate that the UE is not registered to use the services of the second wireless communication system.

Abstract: Systems and methods that designate read/write consistency models based on requirements of a distributed store to increase performance or scale. Such sever loads can be determined via a plurality of mechanisms, including delays in responses by the primary node; setting predetermined threshold limits that if exceeded results in contacting secondary nodes; polling services of the distributed cache periodically and maintaining track of loads on the servers, and the like. The weak or scalable read can occur when read requests are directed to a secondary node, and upon over loading of the primary node.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for transmitting data in a broadcast mode to multiple devices operating in a network. The invention enables the efficient utilization of bandwidth while providing a desired level of quality of service for the applications executing on the devices that utilize the broadcasted data. The invention utilizes a set of bandwidth constraints in combination with a set of heuristics and rules for the allocation and re-allocation of bandwidth among multiple applications in a manner that minimizes the impact on the quality of service metrics of importance to the affected applications when contention exists for the network resources. The present invention implements processes to cause the quality of service provided to each application to degrade smoothly, with certain priorities and guarantees being maintained.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing a mechanism for dynamically switching between the licensing modes on the remote presentation host to handle different kinds of licenses. In one embodiment, the mode switching may be based on the configuration of the users that are connecting to the remote presentation host. In an embodiment, users may be provided with remote presentation session files that define what type of license to be used for the current connection to the remote presentation host. In some embodiments, mechanisms are disclosed to provide the ability to convert a remote client access license from one type to another by using a convertibility matrix.

Abstract: The current subject matter provides the ability to infer a richer customer profile using purchase transaction data in conjunction with various hierarchical groupings of products as well as an ability to characterize products such that they can be used to enrich customer profiles. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: For generating a word space, manual thresholding of word scores is used. Rather than requiring the user to select the threshold arbitrarily or review each word, the user is iteratively requested to indicate the relevance of a given word. Words with greater or lesser scores are labeled in the same way depending upon the response. For determining the relationship between named entities, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is performed on text associated with the name entities rather than on an entire document. LDA for relationship mining may include context information and/or supervised learning.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and advertising server network for automatic internet advertising campaign variable optimization. The advertising server network comprises a module for receiving an advertising campaign specification containing a keyword template. The keyword template contains a plurality of keywords or bid phrases (which are selected to correspond to a particular business type). Then, based on one or more selected keywords, a module serves for collecting historical and/or forecasted keyword click data using a historical dataset. The keywords and click data are used as inputs into a linear programming optimization problem, which linear programming optimization technique is employed for calculating a bid amount for bidding on one or more display positions. The bid is optimized based an objective function subject to policy constraints. Given an optimized bid, a module places the bid using an auction server.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for providing an adaptable licensing platform. In one embodiment, a declarative remote presentation client access license is described that provides for the dynamic introduction of new client access licenses and redefinition of existing client access licenses. For example, remote presentation client access licenses may be declaratively defined in terms of features or capabilities, the client access license enforcing model, supported remote presentation server versions, and other attributes. The client access licenses may be defined in a client access license details configuration file that can be used to assist the remote presentation licensing platform to adapt to the dynamic business model. In another embodiment, a feature rank based selection of suitable client access licenses may be used to provide a “best client access license selection” feature.

During the paging window, a control channel for a cellular network is found by the wireless terminal, and a page is received from the server at the wireless terminal.

Abstract: An exhaust system for use with a combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust system may have an exhaust passage, a reduction catalyst disposed within the exhaust passage, and an injection device configured to inject reductant into the exhaust passage. The exhaust system may also have a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a concentration of an exhaust constituent and the reductant, and a controller in communication with the sensor and the injection device. The controller may be configured to make a comparison of a value indicative of a rate of change of the signal for a period of time with a threshold amount, and make a determination of whether the sensor is sensing a concentration of the exhaust constituent or the reductant based on the comparison. The controller may also be configured to adjust operation of the injection device based on the determination.
