Abstract: A user interface for an electronic calendar represents different locations or different users or different user calendars in different portions of the display. Calendar entries can be associated with one or more locations, one or more users, and with one or more user calendars. The different locations may reside in different time zones and a timeline for each time zone is displayed. The position of the calendar entry provides a visual identifier of the timeline with which the event is associated. Travel time to and from events in the calendar are calculated for calendared events and shown adjacent to the beginning and end of the event. A user's future location at a point in time is inferred from patterns in the user's locations and by analyzing the user's calendared events and correspondence in order to calculate travel time to calendared events.

Abstract: A social network model, based on data relevant to a user, is used for semantic processing to enable improved entity recognition among text accessed by the user. An entity extraction module of the server, with reference to a general training corpus, general gazetteers, user-specific gazetteers, and entity models, parses text to identify entities. The entities may be, for example, people, organizations, or locations. A social network module of the server builds the social network model implicit in the data accessed by the user. The social network model includes the relationships between entities and an indication of the strength of each relationship. The social network module is also used to disambiguate names and unify entities based on the social network model.

Abstract: An entity recognition model is trained to use gazetteers to recognize entities referenced in documents. When a document associated with a user is received for recognizing entities referenced therein, a gazetteer is selected based on user contexts associated with the user. The document is analyzed using the gazetteer according to the entity recognition model to recognize an entity referenced therein. Additional facts associated with the recognized entities and actions applicable to the recognized entities are provided to enable the user to perform the applicable actions against the recognized entity.

Abstract: A user interface for a mobile device allows users to interact across applications with information relevant to known people, organizations, or locations, referred to herein as “recognized entities.” Every type of recognized entity has associated action options that populate a node menu for that type. The node menu options are selectable, for example, through a touchscreen interface, to rapidly execute the associated action. In another embodiment, a plurality of data windows, referred to as “spinners,” are viewed simultaneously on one display. Each spinner is a view of one or more data objects provided that are distinguished from one another by data type, context, parsing or sorting algorithms, or user interaction with this data. The spinners respond to user actions, to new information from the server, or external events by automatically visibly scrolling the data displayed in the spinner windows.

Abstract: A flow control apparatus for a boiling water nuclear reactor steam dryer is provided. The steam dryer includes at least one discharge plenum. In an exemplary embodiment, the flow control apparatus includes a support member, an elongate perforated plate member coupled to the support member, and at least one positioning member coupled to the support member.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for securing a tie rod to a shroud support structure are described. One embodiment of the apparatus is a toggle bolt assembly including a toggle bolt body having an upper threaded portion and a lower toggle engaging portion. A toggle is rotatably secured to the toggle bolt body at the lower toggle engaging portion. A crimp nut including a threaded nut portion and a crimp collar is threadedly secured to the upper threaded portion of the toggle bolt body. Such toggle bolt assembly also includes a sleeve sized to have at least a portion of the toggle bolt body and the toggle located therein. The sleeve has a toggle opening so that the toggle can rotate from a first position in which the toggle is substantially located within the sleeve to a second position in which surface engaging portions of the toggle extend beyond the sleeve. A lower portion of the sleeve has a toggle rotation surface to facilitate rotation of the toggle.

Abstract: Several approaches to serializing a disc may be used in the present invention. First, portions of a disc (such as sector(s) or track(s)) may be physically damaged to create a pattern of damage that somewhat uniquely identifies the disc. A number of different techniques may be used to damage the disc. For instance, laser devices may be used, sharp devices may be used or a master disc may be configured to create the damage. The physical damage may be used in conjunction with soft damage that is encoded in software on the disc. Alternatively, certain soft damage approaches may be used separately to serialize the disc.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nuclear reactor containment including a reactor vessel disposed within a cavity with capability for complete inherent decay heat removal in the earth and surrounded by a cast steel containment member which surrounds the vessel. The member has a thick basemat in contact with metal pilings. The basemat rests on a bed of porous particulate material, into which water is fed to produce steam which is vented to the atmosphere. There is a gap between the reactor vessel and the steel containment member. The containment member holds any sodium or core debris escaping from the reactor vessel if the core melts and breaches the vessel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nuclear reactor containment adapted to retain and cool core debris in the unlikely event of a core meltdown and subsequent breach in the reactor vessel. The reactor vessel is seated in a cavity which has a thick metal sidewall that is integral with a thick metal basemat at the bottom of the cavity. The basemat extends beyond the perimeter of the cavity sidewall. Underneath the basemat is a porous bed with water pipes and steam pipes running into it. Water is introduced into the bed and converted into steam which is vented to the atmosphere. A plurality of metal pilings in the form of H-beams extends from the metal base plate downwardly and outwardly into the earth.

Abstract: Television broadcast market survey data is recorded on microfiche and displayed on a microfiche reader. The data is recorded in basic data zones each of which is reserved for a single market, such as New York, Los Angeles, Detroit or one of the hundreds of other designated market areas of the U.S.A. Each data zone is of the same size regardless of the size of the market or whether the amount of data to be stored is sufficient to fill the zone. The data is divided into several parts, such as "network program averages," "program audience averages," "time period averages," "day-part summaries" etc. A separate location is reserved within each basic data zone for each type of data, and each type of data always appears at the same location in each data zone. Each fiche is assigned a code representing a broadcast market, and is selected by operating keys on the reader device.
