  • Patent number: 9460167
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing search results. In one aspect, a transition from a first search result environment to a second, different search result environment is done in a manner that preserves the user experience of focusing on a selected search result. The transition can be facilitated by an intermediate search result environment that appears during the transition from the first search result environment to the second search result environment. The intermediate search result environment displays search result data of a search result that was selected in the first search result environment. The search result data that is displayed is, for example, data that was provided for display in the first search result environment. For example, in the case of image search results, the search result data that is displayed is a thumbnail image of the image search result.

  • Patent number: 9385835
    Abstract: A system and method for adaptively managing frame size in a wireless multihop network is disclosed. In one embodiment, a packet is transmitted from a source to a destination. A acknowledgement packet is received and a successful acknowledgement packet counter is incremented if the acknowledgement packet arrives prior to a time-out of a timer. A frame size is increased if the successful acknowledgement packet counter reaches a specified value. If the acknowledgement packet arrives after the time-out of the timer, the successful acknowledgement packet counter is reset and the frame size is decreased. These procedures can be repeated until the frame size is greater than or equal to a maximum frame size or less than or equal to a minimum frame size.

  • Patent number: 9268469
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for processing image content items. In one aspect, a method includes generating an image display environment for a first image content item on an image content item page resource between a first row and a second row of image content items. The user device expands a thumbnail of the image content item from first dimensions to second dimensions, and displays the expanded thumbnail in the image display environment. Concurrently with the thumbnail processing, the user device requests a first image resource referenced by the first image content item, and, upon receipt of the first image resource, generates an adjusted version of the first image resource that meets the second dimensions. The user device then displays the adjusted version of the first image resource in the image display environment in place of the expanded version of the first image content item.

  • Patent number: 8588230
    Abstract: A method of determining whether to set up a delay-sensitive communication session over an internet protocol (IP) based network includes sharing link state information among the network nodes of the link state protocol controlled network, receiving an IP packet that conveys a request to set up a delay-sensitive communication session over the network; determining, based on the shared link state information, a shortest path through the link state protocol controlled network for the requested delay-sensitive communication session and whether the shortest path is deemed suitable for the delay-sensitive communication session, and setting up the delay-sensitive communication session over the shortest path only when the shortest path is deemed suitable for the delay-sensitive communication session.

  • Patent number: 8369322
    Abstract: Described are a method and system for determining whether to establish a call over an internet protocol (IP)-based network. A network device inspects an IP packet to determine that the IP packet conveys a message to initiate a call. The network device determines a shortest path through a link-state network to be taken by traffic associated with the call if the call is admitted. The network device also determines whether each link in the shortest path through the link-state network is available for supporting the traffic associated with the call and issues a message that rejects admission of the call if at least one link in the shortest path through the link-state network is unavailable for supporting the traffic associated with the call.
