Publication number: 20150161274Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing topical search suggestions are provided. Topical search suggestions allow a user to receive search results related to the designated topic or subject matter. Multiple topics may be generated based on search input provided by a user. The search input may be a search prefix that includes one or more words entered into the search query box before the completed search query is submitted to the search engine. A search interface may then present the topics derived from the search prefix to a user before the user submits the query. In another embodiment, the user designates multiple search inputs. Search results may be generated based on the search inputs and then present topics extracted from the search results. In one embodiment, the topics are extracted by performing a natural language analysis of search result metadata.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2015Publication date: June 11, 2015Inventors: Daniel Jason Tomko, Vikas Rajvanshy, Michael Gradek, John Lynn, William J.

Patent number: 8665883Abstract: A generalized multi-homing capability is depicted and described herein. The generalized multi-homing capability supports use of a generalized multi-homed site object and associated generalized multi-homed site identifier for Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS). For example, a generalized multi-homed site object may be generated using a multi-homed site object by associating an Ethernet endpoint object and a pseudowire endpoint object with the multi-homed site object. For example, a generalized multi-homed site object may be generated using a multi-homed site object by associating an Ethernet endpoint object with the multi-homed site object and associating one or more Ethernet-related objects with the Ethernet endpoint object. The generalized multi-homed site object is configured to support multiple types of endpoints, thereby enabling multi-homing to be supported for various types of devices in various types of networks (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Florin Balus, Wim Henderickx, Nehal Bhau, John Lynn

Publication number: 20120243829Abstract: The present invention is to provide a multi-diameter optical fiber link, which includes a first cable and a second cable connected in series with the first cable through an adaptor (or adaptors) and is characterized in that a first optical fiber enclosed in the first cable has a smaller diameter than a second optical fiber enclosed in the second cable. Hence, when the first and second cables are connected in series, an end surface of the first optical fiber is easily and precisely aligned within an end surface of the second optical fiber, thus allowing the second optical fiber to receive all optical signals transmitted from the first optical fiber. Consequently, the optical signals pass through the first and second optical fibers in succession, and a unidirectional signal transmission is realized in the multi-diameter optical fiber link without signal deterioration which may otherwise result from misalignment of the optical fibers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2011Publication date: September 27, 2012Applicant: Netgami System LLC.Inventor: John Lynn

Patent number: 7761256Abstract: A method is provided for analyzing vibrations of a variable speed rotating body. The method includes producing a signal that is proportional to an acceleration of the rotating body and producing a plurality of pulses. Each pulse represents a revolution of the rotating body and is indicative of a vibration sample at a rotational position of the rotating body. The signal is converted to a numeric value that is indicative of a vibrational amplitude of the rotating body. The plurality of pulses are converted to revolution time periods indicative of a rotational rate of the rotating body. The method also includes producing a harmonic vibrational amplitude at a harmonic of the rotational rate of the rotating body, and representing a phase of the harmonic vibrational amplitude relative to the rotational position of the rotating body.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John Henry Studer, John Lynn Abbott

Publication number: 20080312166Abstract: A medication delivery system is disclosed to mitigate or reverse the pharmacologic effect of a medication beyond the desired therapeutic window. The system provides sequential delivery of medications including a first agent which induces a physiologic change, a second agent for reversing the physiologic change, and a medication release delaying agent for delaying the release of the second agent so that, upon receipt of the medication delivery system into the body the first agent is released before the second agent so that the physiologic effect of the first agent is mitigated by the second agent. The system can be a pill with the first agent comprising an outer medication and the second agent an inner medication with the medication release delaying agent intermediate the outer medication and the inner medication. In an example, the first agent can comprise a sleep aid and the second agent an arousal agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2008Publication date: December 18, 2008Inventors: Daryl John Lynn, Tracy L.
