Abstract: System and methods for creating a geospatial network model in a client environment are disclosed. The system residing on a client device receives Geographic Information System (GIS) data for a distribution network, which includes spatial information and non-spatial information (e.g., attributes) relating to features in the distribution network, from a remote GIS database. The system uses the spatial information in the GIS data to construct an undirected graph that is represented by a set of adjacency relationships between the features and utilizes the non-spatial information to traverse the undirected graph in order to construct a directed graph that is represented as a set of directed adjacency relationships between the features. The system stores the data structure corresponding to the directed graph in the form of an array or hashtable in the client device's cache memory for use in performing network analyses such as tracing analysis without accessing the GIS database.

In some aspects, the cells may use ferroelectric capacitor dielectric resulting in devices which hold charge indefinitely without refresh, but in most other respects operate similarly to the conventional cells.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and stored instructions are provided for selectively incorporating feedback from a remote audience into live content. The feedback is incorporated into one part of a segment at the same time that another part of the segment is played to an audience. A feedback manager may receive feedback from audience members on a first part of the segment while a second, later part of the segment is being played to the audience by a client machine and while a third, even later part of the segment is being generated by a content manager. The feedback manager may then compare feedback data to stored criteria to determine whether or not to change the playing content.
