  • Patent number: 7788249
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and computing device for automatically generating a result set includes monitoring one or more actions taken by a user while browsing a website. One or more search terms are assigned to each of the one or more actions taken by the user, thus defining one or more initial search terms. An initial query is executed on a datastore based on at least a portion of the one or more initial search terms to generate an initial result set. The initial result set is presented to the user of the website.

  • Publication number: 20040128531
    Abstract: A security network includes a distributed computing network that has redundant data paths. A plurality of addressable security feed transmitting devices each transmit a data feed over one or more of the redundant data paths. The data feed is representative of the area being monitored by the security feed transmitting device. One or more security feed receiving devices access the data feed from each addressable security feed transmitting device.
