Abstract: A method implemented on a computing device having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for predicting a next word comprises generating a suggestion database including a plurality of suggestions; receiving an input from a user including a first word and at least one character of a second word; obtaining one or more indices associated with the at least one character from the suggestion database; retrieving one or more suggestions corresponding to the one or more indices from the suggestion database; and presenting the one or more suggestions to the user.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to providing a query suggestion. In one example, a request is received for query suggestions with respect to a query prefix input by a user. Personal data of the user are obtained. One or more spelling correction candidates are generated based on the personal data and the query prefix. Each of the one or more spelling correction candidates represents a possible spelling correction of the query prefix that was likely input incorrectly in view of the personal data. One or more query suggestions are determined based on the one or more spelling correction candidates. The one or more query suggestions are provided as a response to the request.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for automatically determining when to trigger instant search. In one technique, while a user is entering text to formulate a search query, and prior to receiving an indication that the user has completed formulation of the search query, a search assistant system determines the most popular queries that include the text the user has already entered. The search assistant system then determines whether to proactively provide, to the user, search results for the top-candidate of those completed queries. That determination may take into account factors such as whether the top-candidate qualifies as a dominant completed query, a richness metric determined for the search results for the particular completed query, and/or a satisfaction metric determined for the search results for the particular completed query.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a portion of a search query may be obtained from a client device. A set of suggested search queries may be obtained or generated from a plurality of phrases stored in memory, where the portion of the search query matches a portion of each suggested search query in the set of suggested search queries. The set of suggested search queries may be provided to the client device. The plurality of phrases may include phrases extracted from documents published via a network.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing enhanced search term suggestions. A set of incomplete search terms indicating a sequence of search terms entered may be received. It may be detected that the sequence contains a descending phase followed by an ascending phase. In response to the detection, a pair of misinput term and corresponding corrected term may be identified in the set of incomplete search terms. A probability with respect to the misinput term is a misinput of the corresponding corrected term may be determined based on a historical context. Using such a probability, an incomplete search term containing the misinput term may be corrected. One or more proposed search terms may be determined based on the corrected incomplete search term for suggestion to the user.

Abstract: Methods, systems and programming for providing query suggestions based on user's previous search query. In one example, an input including a prefix of a first query is received from a user in a user session. At least a second query that was previously received from the user in the user session is then obtained. A third query is obtained based on the second query and the prefix of the first query. One or more query suggestions are provided to the user as a response to the input. The one or more query suggestions include the third query.

Abstract: Provided is a wafer level lens array, in which a plurality of lens sections arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally and a substrate section connecting the lens sections are integrally made of a resin material, capable of preventing the substrate section from being deformed. A wafer level lens array includes: a plurality of lens sections that are two-dimensionally arranged; a substrate section that connects the lens sections to each other; and a rib that is disposed on the substrate section and extends along the surface of the substrate section. The lens sections, the substrate section, and the rib are integrally made of a resin material.

Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a shaped article having a plurality of lens sections arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally and a substrate section connecting the lens sections, the lens sections and the substrate section being integrally made of a resin material. The resin material is cured between a transfer surface of a first mold, which is fit to one side surface of the shaped article, and a transfer surface of a second mold which is fit to an opposite side surface of the shaped article. A space between the transfer surface of the first mold and the transfer surface of the second mold is narrowed in accordance with contraction of the resin material caused by the curing, and the transfer surface of the first mold and the transfer surface of the second mold are kept in tight contact with the resin material.

Abstract: An electronic circuit unit includes a circuit substrate having electronic components mounted on the component mounting side thereof, an insulating layer which is layered and crimped onto the component mounting side so as to cover a wiring pattern and electronic components, and a shield layer, made of a metal foil, which is formed on the insulating layer. Since the shield layer conducts with a grounding pattern via columnar conductive sections provided at the four corners, a shield case made of a metal plate is not required. A large number of electronic circuit units is obtained by dividing a large-area laminate, and each columnar conductive section is formed by dividing a through hole filled with a conductive material into four portions. The insulating layer is formed by heat-crimping a semi-cured prepreg material.

Abstract: The ion implanting apparatus is provided with a control device which controls the operating state thereof in a period during which ion implantation is not carried out for a substrate in the state in any mode selected from the above (a) twilight mode in which the flow rate of the raw gas supplied to an ion source and the power supplied from a plasma producing power source are reduced to values capable of keeping plasma production in the ion source, (b) magnet-off mode in which in addition to the state in the twilight mode, the outputs from an energy separating magnet power source, scanning magnet power source and beam paralleling magnet power source are stopped, and (c) shut-down mode in which the supply of the raw gas is stopped and the outputs from the power sources are stopped.
