Abstract: An engine (1601) for link building in order to improve the visibility of a website to search engines is disclosed. Back links are generated that represent links from other websites, such as directories, to the website under consideration. Prospect directories are identified by identifying volumes of candidate directories and initiating an iterative search of these candidate directories. Candidate directories are dismissed that are already under consideration. Candidate directories are rejected in response to preselected criteria which continues until a proposed list (1604) up to a predetermined lists size has been generated. It is a technical aid to assist with the manual building of quality links and not a tool for bulk link submission.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for managing multiple sink devices in a computer system. During operation, the system performs a discovery operation to identify one or more sink devices which are coupled to the computer system, wherein the discovery operation determines an interconnection topology between the computer system and the one or more sink devices, and wherein multiple sink devices can be coupled to the computer system through the same connector. Next, the system associates the one or more sink devices with one or more frame buffers which are used to assemble content streams for the one or more sink devices. Finally, the system drives the one or more sink devices through the one or more frame buffers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for a wireless device locator system and determining whether a device has entered or exited a two dimensional geographic zone area and alerting the device user when the device has entered or exited the zone. The method and apparatus may further minimize the probability of false zone entry and exit zone area alerts to wireless tracking device users.
