  • Difference control for generating and displaying a difference result set from the result sets of a plurality of search engines
    Publication number: 20070100822
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for generating and displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set. According to the present invention, a method for displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set for a query comprises generating a primary result set and a secondary result set, the primary result set and secondary result set generated according to one or more respective disparate search algorithms. A difference result set is determined according to a difference between items in the primary result set and second result set, which is displayed to a user.

  • Emulating execution of smaller fixed-length branch/delay slot instructions with a sequence of larger fixed-length instructions
    Patent number: 6449712
    Abstract: A processor element, structured to execute a 32-bit fixed length instruction set architecture, is backward compatible for executing a 16-bit fixed length instruction set architecture by translating each of the 16-bit instructions into a sequence of one or more 32-bit instructions. The 32-bit instruction set architecture includes “prepare to branch” instructions that allow target addresses for branch instructions to be set up in advance of the branch. The 32-bit prepare to branch and branch instructions are combined to execute a 16-bit branch instruction coupled with a 16-bit Delay Slot instruction.
