Abstract: Indices or data structures used by an enterprise search system are stored across heterogenous storage devices. One or more characteristics associated with a data structure and one or more characteristics associated with a search query operator supported by the data structure are considered when determining which storage device should store each data structure.

Abstract: Users are most likely to search for documents “around” them, such as documents which are created, read, or modified by other users they work closely or collaborate with, documents on sites the user frequents, and/or documents trending around them, in addition to documents they've created or interacted with themselves. Therefore, embodiments are directed to relevance ranking of query results based on external context. A search service may receive a query and an external context list, determine a relevance value for each entry in the external context list, and perform the query, where a search index comprising items may be returned in response to performance of the query. The search service may then match entries in the external context list against associated properties of the items, compute a score for the items based on the matching, and rank results of the query based on the score computed for the items.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and products for isolating nucleic acids from samples containing biological material. In particular, the present invention relates to silica-coated magnetic particles, processes for their preparation and their use in methods of isolating nucleic acids samples containing biological material.

Abstract: A method for parameterizing a functional software of a vehicle, including: receiving information about a vehicle state, transmitting the information about the vehicle state via a communication interface addressed to a remote processing unit outside the vehicle, and receiving, at the local processing unit in the vehicle, information about at least one parameter for influencing the vehicle behavior, which was transmitted by the remote processing unit outside the vehicle, via the communication interface.

Abstract: At least one service product to be provided by a designed IT service is selected using a graphical user interface. Mandatory service elements required for the at least one service product are added automatically and displayed. A configuration of the designed IT service is output.

Abstract: A storage element (16) is formed to have a reset signal (R,RB) that overrides the operation of a clock signal (C,CB). The storage element has two voltage swings used for two different internal logic levels. The storage element (16) is also formed to ensure that the two voltage levels do not saturate the transistors within the storage element (16).
