  • Patent number: 9274774
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to provide for software installation. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes detecting selection of one or more applications by a user; creating a manifest for the one or more applications, the manifest including a reference to the one or more applications and a reference to one or more installers, where each of the one or more applications is associated with a unique one of the one or more installers; and providing the manifest to a target system where each of the one or more applications can be installed, none of the applications or installers being provided in the manifest.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8326689
    Abstract: Different advertisers that may have different value propositions and that may desire different types of ad spots may effectively participate in an advertising network. An advertiser may express various value propositions using various types of offers, such as offers (or maximum offers) per impression, selection, and/or conversion (or some other user event). Probabilities of events, associated with offers, occurring may be used to allow different advertisers with different value propositions to compete against one another in an arbitration such as an auction. Advertisers may target the serving of their ads to keywords (search and/or content), particular publications or properties, particular vertical categories, other types of ad spots, etc.

  • Patent number: 8261258
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to provide for software installation. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes receiving a manifest, the manifest including a reference to one or more applications to be installed, obtaining an installer associated with an application, and using the associated installer to install the application on a target system, the application and the associated installer not being provided in the manifest.

  • Patent number: 7788245
    Abstract: A search engine link provider receives content of a document from a remote computer. Topics for the content are identified and search terms are generated based on the topics. Search engine links are generated based on the search terms. The search engine links are embedded into the content for matches within the content to the search terms. Selection of a search engine link by a user initiates a search for the search term associated with the search engine link.

  • Patent number: 7376877
    Abstract: A computer data signal comprises a first code group and a second code group. The first code group has a first symbol and an error detection code for the first symbol. The second code group has a second symbol different from the first symbol and an error correction code. The error correction code provides error correction for a third symbol that includes the first symbol and the second symbol.

  • Patent number: 7089460
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to detecting leaks in computer memory. Memory leaks are detected by analyzing computer component memory usage records. The first derivative of the memory usage data is computed. If the area under a curve created by a plot of the first derivative of the memory usage data is greater than zero, the second derivative of the memory usage data is computed. If the area under a curve created by a plot of the second derivative of the memory usage data also is greater than or equal to zero, the memory usage data is analyzed to determine how many minima points are present in the memory usage data. If less than four memory usage data minima points are present, a memory leak exists. If four or more minima points are present in the memory usage data, the minima points are further processed to determine if a memory leak exists.

  • Patent number: 6948094
    Abstract: Processor implementation-specific instructions save a processor state in a system memory and attempt to correct the error. Control is then transferred to processor-independent instructions. Control is returned to the processor implementation-specific instructions which then return to an interrupted context of the processor by restoring the processor state.
