Abstract: A method of operation of a content delivery system includes: determining a display dimension for measuring a device interface of a device; generating segment surface areas based on the display dimension, the segment surface areas having segmentation measures; and generating a foldable surface area based on the segment surface areas, the foldable surface area having surface folds in alternating angles at the segmentation measures for displaying on the device.

Abstract: A facility for replicating offline scheduling transactions directed to a server is provided. The facility is implemented as a client-side application that integrates with and utilizes components of a store-and-forward application, which is operable to execute on a client to guarantee that transactions submitted on the client are replicated and carried out on a service hosted on a remote server even in light of intermittent connectivity between the client, the server, and networks. Records describing transactions intended remote service are written to an outbox of the store-and-forward application on the client. If the item is intended for the scheduling application, the facility is invoked by the store-and-forward application to send the item to the scheduling application. Otherwise, the facility returns the item to the outbox for processing by other components of the store-and-forward application.

Records describing transactions intended remote service are written to an outbox of the store-and-forward application on the client. When online, the store-and-forward application first invokes the facility, which processes the items in the outbox by iteratively retrieving the items from the outbox and, for each item, determining whether the item is a transaction intended for the scheduling application. If the item is intended for the scheduling application, the facility sends the item to the scheduling application.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for detecting gradual transitions between frames of a video sequence such as fade and dissolve transitions. For each frame, the intensity values of pixels at corresponding positions within a window of frames including the subject frame are compared, and signs are allocated to the calculated differences. The number of each type of sign is determined for each pixel position and the larger number of matching signs is assigned as a measure of the monotonicity of the direction of intensity variations at the pixel position between the frame and the surrounding frames. A global monotonicity measure is then calculated for the frame as a whole using the monotonicity values for each pixel position. This is repeated for each frame to generate a temporal sequence of frame intensity change monotonicity measures. Slopes within this temporal sequence representative of gradual Transitions between video frames are detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to the isolation of novel cyclooxygenase type 1 (COX-1) variant enzymes. More specifically, the invention relates to the identification of cyclooxygenase transcripts harboring inton 1, or fragment thereof, of cyclooxygenase 1. The invention further relates to the diagnosis of aberrant cyclooxygenase type 1 variant gene or gene product; the identification, production, and use of compounds which modulate cyclooxygenase type 1 variant gene expression or the activity of the cyclooxygenase type 1 variant gene product including but not limited to nucleic acid encoding cyclooxygenase type 1 variants and homologues, analogues, and deletions thereof, as well as antisense, ribozyme, triple helix, antibody, and polypeptide molecules as well as small inorganic molecules; and pharmaceutical formulations and routes of administration for such compounds.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for customizing web part objects. A web part object 28 that is capable of providing a presentation is accessed. Once the web part object is accessed, a specification file 38 associated with the web part object is also accessed. The specification file contains additional code, such as HTML, JAVA Script, or other code. The additional code is applied to a web part to modify the presentation of the web part. Thus, the presentation of the web part is modified in accordance with the specification file to provide a modified presentation.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for pumping from a well. A pump includes a piston assembly reciprocably engaged in a cylinder assembly. Pressure applied to a column of fluid above the pump causes a pump chamber to fill with fluid. A spring mechanism coupled to an anchor point above the piston assembly provides upward force on the piston assembly. Alternate cycles of the application and release of pressure result in the pumping of a fluid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite of an exfoliated clay pillared in a carbonized matrix. A substantially complete exfoliation of the clay can easily be achieved by first dispersing the in a viscous, high dielectric organic matrix to form a precursor composite, which can then be carbonized to form the composite of the exfoliated clay pillared in a carbonized matrix. The composite is useful as a filler, for example, to enhance the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of polymers.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree, ‘PV 1027,’ originating as a mutation of the Malus sylvestris variety of ‘Arends’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,800). This new variety is unique from its parent because the fruit ripens 7 to 9 days before the parent and presents a larger, more reniform shape with a shinier finish.
