  • Patent number: 9659067
    Abstract: A computer device is configured to identify a document; determine that the document includes an annotation, the annotation describing a user interface that is to be visually displayed in connection with information identifying the document when the information identifying the document is included in a search results document, the user interface including a user interface element that, when selected, causes an action to be performed in connection with the document, and the action being performed without obtaining the document after the user interface element is selected; determine information relating to the user interface based on the annotation; and store, in a search index, the information relating to the user interface in association with the information identifying the document.

  • Patent number: 9659065
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for ranking search results based on current and past presences of a user and a user's contacts from a social graph in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. A search query is received from a user and search results responsive to the search query are obtained from a search engine. Contacts from a user's social graph are obtained, and presence data for the user and the contacts is obtained. The relevancy scores of the search result entities are modified based on the current presence of a contact at an entity, the past presence of a contact at an entity, and the past presence of the user at an entity. The search results are ranked based on the modified relevancy scores and provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 9471691
    Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing search results having contacts from a user's social graph are provided herein. A search query is received from a user of client computer, and a point of interest responsive to the search query is determined. A person associated with the point of interest is identified, and a relationship in a social graph between the person and the user is identified. A search result that includes the point of interest and information about the person in the user's social graph associated with the point of interest is generated, and the search result is transmitted over a network to the client computer.

  • Patent number: 9465273
    Abstract: A coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation source is provided that includes a non-linear optical conversion material solid substrate disposed for nonlinear conversion of infrared (IR) coherent radiation into XUV coherent radiation, where the solid substrate includes an IR coherent radiation region, and an XUV coherent radiation waveguide region, where the IR coherent radiation region is optically coupled to the XUV coherent radiation waveguide region, where the XUV coherent radiation converted from the IR coherent radiation by the non-linear optical conversion material propagates in and outputs from the XUV coherent radiation waveguide region.

  • Publication number: 20150178289
    Abstract: A text selection module enables a user to quickly designate a semantically-meaningful phrase within a text region of a user interface. The text selection module may further automatically or semi-automatically take an action on the designated phrase, such as visually selecting the phrase, obtaining a definition of the phrase, or the like.

  • Patent number: 8923817
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system to establish a stable ownership relationship between an online identity and a mobile device. This relationship is persistent across device wipes and operating system reinstalls. Remote commands enable a user to: locate the mobile device; wipe user data off the mobile device; disable the mobile device; display a permanent message on the mobile device; and return a disabled mobile device to normal. Ownership is established when the mobile device is purchased. Thereafter, the ownership is maintained in a host sever through an association between a unique identifier of the mobile device and the owner's online identity. The owner of the mobile device may remotely send an encrypted command to the mobile device, for example, if the mobile device is lost or stolen. The encrypted command is decrypted by the mobile device and the result of the command may be returned remotely to the owner.

  • Publication number: 20050047321
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a disc has a substrate; a data layer on the substrate; an anomaly-feature in the data layer disc capable of generating a read anomaly having a predictable anomaly profile; and anomaly profile data recorded in the data layer for characterizing the anomaly-feature. A disc can be labeled by imposing an anomaly-feature in the data layer capable of generating a read anomaly having a predictable anomaly profile; and disposing anomaly profile data on the disc, wherein the anomaly profile data characterizes the anomaly-feature.
