  • Patent number: 7761118
    Abstract: Techniques for providing access to databases from handheld devices are disclosed. Techniques can be used to implement a database system. The database system provides a graphical user interface which can be displayed on handheld devices. This allows users of handheld devices to conveniently by interacting with the graphical user interface. As will be appreciated, the user can access the database to perform a variety of operations. Moreover, the user can perform these operations without having to write programs and virtually in real time. Thus, the user can conveniently access the database and be provided with up-to-date information. In addition, the user can be provided with hyperlinks which allow the user to conveniently perform various tasks without having to switch between different operation modes.

  • Publication number: 20100115614
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for classifying behavior of an application based on its data access pattern is described. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring file access events associated with an application, and determining whether at least one of the file access events indicates the application's attempt to manipulate data of a file. If at least one file access event indicates the application's attempt to manipulate the data within the file, then at least one action is caused to be performed.

  • Publication number: 20100083377
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for defining the scope of a search is described. In one embodiment, user input is received, and the scope is defined, based on the user input, for a search of free-form text for information from any random rows within a tabular structure of source data. In one embodiment, the search is intended for finding, in the free-form text, a sub-set of data fragments that matches information from any single row within the tabular structure of the source data.

  • Publication number: 20070196852
    Abstract: The current invention restates substituted indole nucleosides as both terminal as well as internal building blocks of labeled oligonucleotide probes for the detection, analysis and quantitation of nucleic acids. The substituent comprises a linker and a detectable group or a linker and a reactive group for post synthesis coupling. These modified nucleosides grant access to a wide application area. These new substituted indole nucleosides can be used as labeling reagents for the facile preparation of e.g. optimized hybridization probes, Taqman-probes, or molecular beacon probes.
