  • Patent number: 7958446
    Abstract: A browsing application for accessing resources over a network includes code for receiving a command from a user to translate textual material appearing on an arbitrary page displayed in the content display area, and code for causing the textual material to be passed to a translation resource on the network, whereby the display area of the browsing application is caused to display a page which includes a translation of the textual material. The application may display a menu accessible from an arbitrary page whereby the user may select among translation options such as a translate to language and a translate from language. The application may be configured to cause text selected by a user to be translated, and/or may cause an entire page to be translated. Translated text may be displayed along with graphics in a layout similar to that of the original page.

  • Patent number: 7836064
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for providing users of web-accessible E-mail services with improved access to their E-mail messages and other information. In one embodiment, access to a search tool is provided to users of a web-accessible electronic mail service by software which integrates with a mail-enabled application running on a user's client machine. The software displays a field within a user interface of the mail-enabled application for receiving user input of a search term. The search term is used to build a URL that is communicated to a web-accessible E-mail service. A browser is launched to display at least one page resulting from the communication of the URL.

  • Patent number: 7559250
    Abstract: A method for detecting a crack in a frame is disclosed. The method includes sensing with a first pressure sensor a first pressure within a first sealed cavity. The first sealed cavity is interior to a first structure of the frame. Additionally, the method includes detecting a first change in the sensed first pressure. The method also includes determining preliminarily that a crack has formed in the first structure based on the detected change in the sensed first pressure. In addition, the method includes determining a criticality of the crack.

  • Publication number: 20070174286
    Abstract: A browsing application in one embodiment includes instructions for accessing a resource over a network using a general purpose computer, the instructions comprising code for examining an address field of the browsing application and matching a first string input therein with at least one shortcut in a predefined list of shortcuts to search resources on the network, code for using the shortcut list to identify at least a portion of a predefined URL associated with the matched first string, and code for causing a second string input into the address field to be passed as a parameter to a resource on said network and associated with the predefined URL. In another embodiment, the browsing application includes instructions including code for using a string input into an address field of the browsing application to generate and display a task list which includes a plurality of possible resources to which the string can be passed.

  • Publication number: 20060265481
    Abstract: A method and user interfaces for permitting a user to define and edit a set of web sites to be loaded when a network browsing application is loaded. This allows the user to easily keep track of the latest changes to one or more of the user's favorite web sites, to track the status of corporate information, or the like. The set of web sites can be individually controlled, or an administrator or other entity may specify at least a subset of the set of web sites to be loaded.

  • Publication number: 20060239430
    Abstract: The present invention describes system and methods for warning users of or blocking access to known or suspected illegitimate or nefarious resources prior to accessing the requested resource. The system of the present invention maintains one or more data structures containing lists of legitimate, illegitimate and suspicious online and local resources, as well as characteristics thereof. The system compares the user requested resource against the lists of legitimate, illegitimate and suspicious resources and characteristics thereof and determines an appropriate resolution to the request, e.g., whether or not to allow user access to the requested resource.

  • Publication number: 20050080872
    Abstract: A learned upload time estimate is derived from historical uploading information. This involves reviewing historical uploading information for previous uploads. To determine if there is a match or likeness between information of files presently selected for uploading and the historical uploading information for any of the previous uploads, the size of these files is combined to produce an upload size. The size and timestamp of the current upload is compared against the size and timestamp of each of the previous uploads. If a match with a previous upload is found its actual time is used as the learned estimate upload time. If a match or likeness is not found, an average transfer rate is computed from the historical uploading information for the previous uploads. From the average transfer rate and upload size a learned upload time estimate is derived and provided to a client for display to a user.

  • Publication number: 20050066018
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer program product, and computer system for ensuring consistency between data displayed by multiple independent client programs that can simultaneously display server-provided data. The data are accessible only from a server that is not persistently connected to the client computer system(s) displaying the data, so the client programs cannot retrieve the data independently without sending a request to the server. Client programs do not poll the server by sending a request to learn that data capable of being displayed by the multiple client programs have been updated. Instead, client programs are notified by the server program receiving the request to change the data at the time the request is received.

  • Publication number: 20050050462
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, computer system, and computer program product to optimize space available for displaying text descriptions in a limited area, such as a sidebar. Space is optimized by displaying only the maximum portion of the text describing each selection that will fit within the limited area, thereby allowing space to display additional text descriptions in the remaining portion of the limited area. Positioning a pointer over the maximum portion of the text causes the complete portion of the text to be displayed. The complete portion of the text can serve as a link to content related to the text. Space is also optimized by providing a thin scroll bar to add space for displaying content within a window.

  • Publication number: 20050050301
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer system and computer program product that enable a server to provide information and control the display of the information at a client dynamically without being persistently connected to the client. Functionality of the user interface can be changed without changing a client application displaying the information, installing a new application on the client computer system, or maintaining a persistent network connection between the client computer system and the server computer system. A control program running on the client computer system is configured to operate according to instructions provided by the server. The instructions provide information such as particular modules to present within the user interface and the layout of windows that provide access to the modules. The server also provides instructions for responses to be performed upon receiving events.
