Patent number: 8285699Abstract: Embodiments are configured to provide a summary of information associated with one or more search results. In an embodiment, a system includes a summary generator that can be configured to provide a summary of information including one or more snippets associated with a search term or search terms. The system includes a ranking component that can be used to rank snippets and the ranked snippets can be used when generating a summary that includes one or more ranked snippets. In one embodiment, the system can be configured to include one or more filters that can be used to filter snippets and the filtered snippets can be used when generating a summary. Other embodiments are available.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dirk Groeneveld, Dmitriy Meyerzon, David Mowatt

Patent number: 8067830Abstract: A dual or multiple row package (300) is provided which comprises a first plurality of terminals (303, 304, 305) and a second plurality of terminals (306, 307), which first and second plurality of terminals are exposed outside the encapsulation at a first side of the package. The terminals of the first plurality of terminals (303, 304, 305) are arranged in a first row (301), wherein a distance between each pair of adjacent terminals in the first row (301) is greater or equal than a first threshold value. Furthermore, the terminals of the second plurality of terminals (306, 307) are arranged in a second row (302), wherein a distance between each pair of adjacent terminals in the second row (302) is greater or equal than a second threshold and a distance between the first row (301) and the second row (302) is smaller than at least the first threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2008Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Peter Dirks, Dirk Groeneveld

Patent number: 8035354Abstract: The present invention relates to a battery charge circuit (100) in a charge-and-play mode capable to reliably determine the completion of a battery charging operation has been described. Such a determination takes into account the behavior of the battery charge circuit (100) with respect to the temperature, the activity of the circuitry (30) and the source current limitation. Thus, a distinction can be made between a decrease of the battery charge current ICHG below the end-of-charge current level caused by the full-charge state of the battery (20) and by the activation of temperature and current regulation circuits. Furthermore, the battery charge circuit (100) is also configured such that it can be warned both that the activity of the circuitry (30) is to be limited and, by a timer (800) measuring the time interval during which the battery charge current ICHG has been reduced to zero, that the battery (20) is being discharged.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2006Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: ST-Ericsson SAInventors: Frank P.
