  • Publication number: 20140281943
    Abstract: A fast client-side spell checker is provided that builds efficient structures out of dictionary and a common misspelling lists and uses the structures to prune the number of searches required to identify misspelled words and provide suggestions for correcting the misspelled words. The spell checker is a browser-based application, which is provided by a server to a client device. The server also sends the dictionary and a list of common misspellings to the client device in the form of efficient data structures. The spell checker utilizes a set of rules to identify the words that are not in the dictionary but are intended to be correct as typed. The spell checker is used by different browser-based applications that utilize the same spell checker regardless of the browser platform used to access the applications. In this way, the spell checker provides a uniform spell checking user experience across different browser platforms.

  • Publication number: 20080034346
    Abstract: A method prepares a computer program for operation in a computer supply system that supplies portions, or program units, of program code or program data of the computer program as the program needs the portions. The method includes defining a program unit of the program and removing the program unit from the program, thereby producing a program skeleton that is missing the program unit. The method further includes inserting instructions in place of the program unit in the program skeleton. The instructions are operative to request the program unit when the program skeleton encounters the instructions. An information structure includes a program skeleton of a program. The program skeleton is missing a funclet of the program, but includes a placeholder in place of the funclet. The program skeleton additionally includes instructions in place of the funclet. The instructions are operative to request the funclet when the program skeleton encounters the instructions.
