Abstract: An electronic computing device can be configured to act as a text-entry device and a cursor control device for a second device. The first device can include a touch-sensitive display capable of receiving text inputs and cursor inputs for controlling operations performed on the second device which is communicatively coupled to the first device. The first device can be configured such that selection of a field displayed by the second device can cause information such as text from a focus field to be displayed by the first device. The second device can be configured to send information pertaining to the focus field to the first device. The information can include a warning that the maximum length of input for the focus field has been, or is about to be, exceeded.

Abstract: A particulate loader for transferring particulates. The particulate loader comprises an air-particulates separating chamber for separating the particulates from an air stream caused by suction provided thereto. A suction mechanism is connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for providing the suction thereto. The particulate loader comprises a conveying mechanism for conveying the separated particulates from the air-particulates separating chamber to a remote location. A vacuum pickup hose is in fluid communication with the air-particulates separating chamber for transmitting the airstream with the particulates therethrough. An inlet conduit is in fluid communication with the vacuum pickup hose at a first end and with the air-particulates separating chamber at a second end for transmitting the airstream with the particulates from the vacuum pickup hose to the air-particulates separating chamber.

Abstract: A particulate loader for transferring particulates. The particulate loader comprises an air-particulates separating chamber for separating the particulates from an air stream caused by suction provided thereto. A suction mechanism is connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for providing the suction thereto by removing air from the air-particulates separating chamber and exhausting the air. A conveying mechanism is connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for conveying the separated particulates from the air-particulates separating chamber to a remote location. The cyclone has an inlet connected to an exhaust outlet of the suction mechanism, an air outlet for discharging the air after separating the dust therefrom, and a dust outlet for discharging the collected dust.

Abstract: A method for forwarding data from the store instructions to a corresponding load instruction in an out of order processor. The method includes accessing an incoming sequence of instructions, and of said sequence of instructions, splitting store instructions into a store address instruction and a store data instruction, wherein the store address performs address calculation and fetch, and wherein the store data performs a load of register contents to a memory address. The method further includes, of said sequence of instructions, splitting load instructions into a load address instruction and a load data instruction, wherein the load address performs address calculation and fetch, and wherein the load data performs a load of memory address contents into a register, and reordering the store address and load address instructions earlier and further away from LD/SD the instruction sequence to enable earlier dispatch and execution of the loads and the stores.

Abstract: A method of funneling user responses in a voice portal system to determine a desired item or service includes (a) querying a user for an attribute value associated with a first particular attribute of the desired item or service; and (b) determining if the attribute value given by the user satisfies an end state. If the end state is not satisfied, steps (a) and (b) are performed with a new particular attribute.

Abstract: An automotive safety device, specifically, an automobile safety device that assists drivers to remain in their proper driving lane when driving a moving vehicle. One embodiment of the present invention can include a flat planar body member, a plurality of light emitting members connected to the planar body member, wherein the light emitting members are configured in a predetermined arrangement, a power source electronically connected to the light emitting members, and a selectively engageable dimmer switch electronically connected to the power source and the light emitting members. The plurality of light emitting members can be configured in an angled position such that when the planar body member is positioned on the dashboard of a motor vehicle, between a steering wheel and a windshield of the motor vehicle, the reflection of the light emitting members appears to project outwardly in a straight line in front of the windshield.

Abstract: A region classification server classifies a region based on region distribution information. The region classification server may include several databases to facilitate the classification of the region, including a classification type database, a classification evaluation database, and a region classification database. The region classification server may also include one or more interfaces for receiving region distribution information, such as an automated business listing interface and a user-input classification interface. The region classification server may also classify a region by modifying a classification evaluation stored in the classification evaluation database, where the modification is based on received user information. Moreover, the region classification server may provide the region classifications to other systems in communication with the region classification server, such as search engine providers, augmented reality developers, or other third-party entities.

Abstract: When lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate is included in fermentation medium, the broth resulting from biocatalyst production is complex with low filterability. A heat treatment was found to increase filterability, allowing efficient separation of a liquid fraction from a solid fraction, which is further processed for water recycle and syrup production.

Abstract: A method of transforming and canonicalizing semantically structured data includes obtaining data from a network of computers, applying text patterns to the obtained data and placing the data in a first data file, providing a second data file containing the obtained data in a uniform format, and generating interface specific sentences from the data in the second data file.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for providing composite user interface controls and a library or online storefront for same. In one aspect, there is provided a method for a client computer of sharing a custom control, comprising: receiving by a browser an encrypted custom control comprising a number of user interface elements which are positioned in a specified manner with respect to each other, wherein each of the user interface elements has one or more properties; receiving by the browser a decryption key; and decrypting by the browser the encrypted custom control using the decryption key.

Abstract: A method for executing a transaction related to an item or a service using a telephone includes providing information identifying the item or the service, providing a query as to a transaction to be performed in which the transaction is related to the identified item or service, and sending to a server system a request to execute the transaction related to the identified item or service in response to a user answer. The transaction is executed without the user performing a single action on a computer interface.

Abstract: An electronic device or system and method are provided for selectively normalizing or modifying content element attributes that are defined using absolute values, such as absolute font sizes expressed in length measurements such as points and pixels. A document containing structured content, such as an HTML-formatted email message or webpage, is obtained. When any such content element attributes are included with the document, a determination is made whether those attributes can be changed for that document. The determination may be dependent on the complexity of the structured document. If so, the absolute values are converted to relative values, and the document is subsequently rendered for display.
