  • Patent number: 9031942
    Abstract: A system and method for providing at least one search result responsive to receiving a search query includes receiving the search query, locating at least one record containing at least one search query term, and displaying a text representation of each of the records containing at least one search query term. The invention further includes displaying a representation of an object in relation with the text representation for each record that includes an object comprising at least one predetermined attribute. In another embodiment, the invention provides a method for indexing records in an index of an information network, including searching the record for an indication that an object comprising a specified attribute is to be displayed with the record, creating a representation of the object; storing the representation in association with the record to which it corresponds, and making an entry for the record in the index.

  • Patent number: 7886042
    Abstract: Scheduling searchable items such as web pages for crawling involves dynamically scheduling items for downloading based on capacity based on time. The workload is distributed over time, in advance, by anticipating and accounting for the discovery of new links on the particular host. Respective times to download items can be determined based on the current size of the host's crawl corpus relative to the maximum size of the host's crawl corpus. The respective times may be determined based additionally on respective freshness targets for the searchable items, which characterize how often an item's content should be refreshed by re-downloading the item, and on respective politeness factors for the host, which characterize the delay time between consecutive download requests to that host. As such, one can know precisely how the system is performing at any point in time and predict future performance.

  • Patent number: 7620622
    Abstract: A system and method for providing at least one search result responsive to a search query with search query terms, includes parsing pages for a plurality of text and non-text indexable elements. The invention further includes assigning a location identifier to one or more of the plurality of elements that corresponds to a location of a given element in a given page from the set of pages and is a pointer to the location of the given element. The invention further includes storing the elements and the corresponding location identifier for the elements in a computer readable medium as records, receiving the search query to request a stored record, from a user across a networked connection, searching the plurality of records to determine elements that correspond to the search query. The invention further includes transmitting a text element and a non-text element, to the user across the networked connection.

  • Patent number: 6015283
    Abstract: A mold assembly includes a stack of mold plates having a first plate and a second plate movable towards one another and away from one another in opening and closing directions between open and closed positions. The stack of mold plates includes a third plate disposed between the first and second plates. The mold assembly also includes a plate movement control device having at least one linkage. Each linkage may include a traveling element mounted to the third plate for movement along a predetermined path of motion relative to the third plate, a first arm having a first end pivotally connected to the traveling element and a second arm having a first end pivotally connected to the second plate and a second end pivotally connected to the traveling element.

  • Patent number: 5450973
    Abstract: A tamper indicating closure comprising a one-piece molded plastic closure which threads onto the finish of a container such that when the closure is removed from the container, a tamper indicating band becomes separated from a lower end of a cap member of the closure. The tamper indicating band is joined to the closure along a weakened frangible line. The band includes a flexible Y-shaped annular flap segmented into tabs and attached to the lower end of the annular tamper band. When the closure is applied to the container, the annular band folds radially inward and up toward the cap member. The interior surface of the band and the first leg of the annular band include corresponding ratchet teeth which are designed to accommodate a varying degree of finish tolerances and which engage upon removal of the cap from the container. A second leg of the annular flap extends outwardly beneath a peripheral bead on the finish of the container when the closure is fully attached.

  • Patent number: 5033632
    Abstract: A tamper-evident closure includes a cap having an interior, threaded peripheral skirt, a tamper-evident ring disposed below the lower edge of the skirt and a plurality of elongate bridge members interconnecting the tamper-evident ring to the cap. Each bridge member includes a lower end forming a lower juction with the ring an upper end thinner than the lower end forming an upper juction with a surface of a recess formed in the skirt. Each bridge member is designed to break at the upper end thereof when the closure is rotated in a direction to remove it from the container, and each bridge member is inclined upwardly at an acute angle to the ring from the lower to the upper junction, in the direction in which the cap is required to be rotated to remove it from the container.
