Abstract: A method including receiving a request, via a network and from a remote user unauthorized to access a data package, for a quality score of the data package. A metric for evaluating the quality score is defined by the remote user. The method also includes receiving a rule. The rule is programmed to use, as input, the data package and generate, as output, the quality score. The rule is specified at least in part based on the metric. The method also includes generating the quality score by executing the rule on the data package. The method also includes transmitting, via the network, the quality score and a description of the data package while blocking access by the remote user to the data package.

Abstract: User experience parameters are applied in formatting results to a query for presentation. The user experience parameters correspond to at least one particular subject related to the query.

Abstract: A method of authorizing a transaction at a fuel pump includes receiving a user request to activate the pump, determining whether the user is authorized, determining whether the user is in the proximity of the pump, determining whether the pump is functional, determining whether the pump is already reserved for another user, and determining whether the pump is already in use. In response to those determinations, a message is displayed, either authorizing or declining the transaction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus of the present invention deposit fluorinated silicate glass (FSG) in such a manner that it strongly adheres to an overlying or underlying barrier layer or etch stop layer, and has a lower dielectric constant, among other benefits. In one embodiment, silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar) are used as the reactant gases, with the ratio of oxygen to silicon controlled to be at between about 2:1 to 6:1. Such O2 levels help reduce the amount of degradation of ceramic chamber components otherwise caused by the elimination of silane from the process recipe.
