Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for providing a rich search experience utilizing entity-type characterization are provided. A search query is received and an entity type is determined for the query. A Web search is then performed for the query against a predefined list of sources determined to be authoritative for the determined entity type. The results of the source-specific searches are filtered based upon the entity type providing a filtered list of results that each pertains to an entity of the entity type determined to be associated with the query. The filtered list are then compared to a list of resolved entities to determine equivalent entities identified by different searched sources, the equivalent entities being combined into a single potential search result. The consolidated search results are then ordered based upon rank values. At least a portion of the results may then be presented to the user.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing devices method of facilitating presentation of actions and providers associated with entities. The method includes determining a query intent of a received query. Entity sets having an entity that matches the determined query intent are recognized. Each entity set includes an entity, an action, and a provider. Actions and/or providers associated with the entity that matches the determined query intent are identified. The actions and/or the corresponding providers associated with the entity are provided for integration with a representation of the associated entity on a search results page.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems for generating user interfaces across multiple form factor devices are provided. A server is configured to group a plurality of templates into one or more sets having a different layout for categories of devices or applications. The server receives a request from a device for user interface content. In response, the server parses the request to determine a type for the device or a type for an application requesting the user interface content. The devices or applications are classified by the server based on the identified type for the device or application. A set of appropriate user interfaces is selected based on the type of the device or application. The server maps values to one or more attributes associated with the selected set and transmits the user interface content to the device for rendering.

Abstract: Baluns according to the present invention use both distributed and discrete elements connected together in a multilayer dielectric structure. As distributed elements, coupled striplines are provided in the multilayer dielectric structure. The discrete components are placed on the surface of the multilayer structure and connected with the distributed elements through via-holes. The operating frequency of the balun can be changed by changing values of the discrete components without changing the multilayer structure itself.
