Abstract: Context data processing is described herein. One or more contexts are selected. Each context includes one or more attributes, and a plurality of data objects that satisfy the attributes. A list of data objects contained in the selected contexts is displayed. At least some of the data objects in the selected contexts are processed. Such processing may involve generating claim trees, citation trees, and data object families, which may be displayed using hyperbolic trees. In an embodiment, the contexts are groups. In other embodiment, the contexts are each associated with a data object type. In this latter embodiment, the contexts include data objects of their respective data object types.

Abstract: Apparatii to facilitate texting to both textable and non-textable telephone numbers may include a user interface module, a destination verification module, a destination selection module and a routing module. The user interface module may render a map or a list on an electronic display that includes contact information for one or more entities. The destination verification module may use the contact information to access a texting registry to determine if an entity has a texting address. In response to determining that a texting address is available for an entity, the user interface module may display a textable indicator proximate to contact information for the entity. Similarly, information from a destination field of a text message may be used to retrieve a texting address from the texting registry and route the email message to the texting address. Methods corresponding to the apparatii are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A user is allocated a first period of limited free access to content; the user's activity during the first period is monitored; and the user is assigned to a particular cohort based on the user's activity during the first period. Each cohort prescribes one or more conditions governing additional free access by users assigned to that cohort. The user is allocated a usage allowance based on the conditions prescribed in the cohort to which the user was assigned; and the user's actual usage is enforced according to the conditions prescribed in that cohort. After a time period prescribed by that cohort, the user is given an opportunity to become a subscriber to the system. If the user does not become a subscriber then the user's usage allowance is adjusted based on conditions prescribed in that cohort.

Abstract: High resolution distributed temperature sensors using fiber optic distributed temperature sensing systems deployed on various carriers to significantly improve spatial resolution and provide high resolution temperature profile and detection of fluid or fluid interface levels.

Abstract: The controlling of a plurality of smoke and heat evacuation and ventilation (SHEV) devices is shown, in which the devices are connected to field wiring that also includes fire detection devices and alarms. A constant limited current (705) is supplied in a first direction for fire detection. A non-limited voltage is applied to supply alarm current 708 in a second direction for sounding alarms and opening the SHEV DEVICES. A non-limited positive voltage 712 is applied to supply reset current in the first direction for closing the SHEV devices.

Abstract: A subsea electronics module or pressure bottle with greatly enhanced capabilities for conducting heat away from internal electronics boards by means of an adjustable heat conduction wedge system.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for processing data are described herein. The system maintains first databases of patents, and second databases of non-patent information of interest to a corporate entity. The system also maintains one or more groups. Each of the groups comprises any number of the patents from the first databases. The system, upon receiving appropriate operator commands, automatically processes the patents in one of the groups in conjunction with non-patent information from the second databases. Accordingly, the system performs patent-centric and group-oriented processing of data. A group can also include any number of non-patent documents. The groups may be product based, person based, corporate entity based, or user-defined. Other types of groups are also covered, such as temporary groups.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calibrating a temperature sensing system are disclosed. In one respect, a line may be placed in operative relation with a first reference cell and a second reference cell. The temperatures of the first and second reference cells may be adjusted. In one non-limiting example, the temperature of the first reference cell may be adjusted to a temperature above an ambient temperature and the temperature of the second reference cell may be adjusted to a temperature below an ambient temperature. The temperature sensing system may be calibrated based on the temperature data of the first and second reference cells.

Abstract: A method of displaying data, comprising the steps of defining a set of documents, each document having a unique identification and optionally citing other documents by their respective unique identification, the set being defined by selecting at least one starting document, with the set further comprising documents being included based on predetermined relationships with at least one other document in the set; generating a hierarchal tree representation of the at least one subset of documents, a subset inclusion and hierarchy thereof being defined by said predetermined relationships between documents within the set; and selectively focusing on a node of said hierarchal tree, to define a graphic display representation of at least a portion thereof to emphasize the selected focus while depicting the hierarchal relationships.
