Abstract: A computer system for overlaying content in a designated area of a web page is disclosed. The computer system may be used to run executable code configured to identify a data field in a received web page, insert a visible user control substantially adjacent to the data field, display the web page comprising the user control, and cause a value in the data field to be tracked upon actuation of the user control.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for data retrieval by a computing system and a plurality of agent computers in a distributed network is disclosed. The computing system sends a request to each agent computer to perform a search at a node. The agents perform the searches. The agents thereupon send the resulting data to the computing system for storage in a central database.

Abstract: System and method for generating video frames. The system includes a frame generator which generates one or more intermediate frames based upon one base frames. Each of the base frames are comprised of a plurality of macroblocks. Furthermore, one or more of the macroblocks have a motion vector. The macroblocks are comprised of a plurality of pixels. In the frame generation process, the frame generator performs a number of steps such as: (i) determines whether frame generation is appropriate, (ii) examines the first and second base frames to check for the presence of textual characters, (iii) selects a frame generation method based upon information in the first and second frames, (iv) filters the generated frames. In one embodiment, the system includes a server computer having an encoder, a client computer having a decoder, and a network connecting the server computer to the client computer.

Abstract: A video system for coding a stream of video data that includes a stream of video frames divides each video frame into a matrix of a plurality of subblocks, wherein each subblock includes a plurality of pixels. The video system operates in accordance with nine prediction modes. Each prediction mode determines a prediction mode according to which a present subblock is to be coded. One of the nine prediction modes is selected to encode the present subblock, wherein the selected prediction mode provides for a minimum error value in the present subblock.

Abstract: A computing system for tracking price changes in assets like products and services includes a data storage device for storing executable code, and a processing system associated with the data storage device. The computing system receives an identity of an asset with a price that is subject to change over time. A rule is identified for determining whether a specified action is authorized in the event the price changes. The computing system tracks the price over time, identifies any changes in the price, and issues a notification regarding a change in the price when the rule authorizes the action.
