Abstract: As is disclosed herein, user behavior in connection with a number of electronic messages, such as electronic mail (email) messages, can be used to automatically learn from, and predict, whether a message is wanted or unwanted by the user, where an unwanted message is referred to herein as gray spam. A gray spam predictor is personalized for a given user in vertical learning that uses the user's electronic message behavior and horizontal learning that uses other users' message behavior. The gray spam predictor can be used to predict whether a new message for the user is, or is not, gray spam. A confidence in a prediction may be used in determining the disposition of the message, such as and without limitation placing the message in a spam folder, a gray spam folder and/or requesting input from the user regarding the disposition of the message, for example.

Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with menu interfaces for media source and content navigation. In embodiments, an apparatus to control a remote computing device may include a wireless transmitter; a capacitive touchpad; and logic operably coupled with the wireless transmitter and capacitive touchpad. In various embodiments, the logic may be configured to: detect a change in position and/or a velocity of a change in position of a tactile input received at the capacitive touchpad. In various embodiments, the logic may be configured to generate, based at least in part on the detected change in position and/or velocity of the change in position, a signal configured to cause the remote computing device to perform an operation associated with provision of a media content for consumption. In various embodiments, the logic may be configured to transmit the signal with the wireless transmitter directly to a wireless receiver of the remote computing device.

Abstract: The invention provides modulators for the orphan nuclear receptor ROR? and methods for treating ROR? mediated diseases by administrating these novel ROR? modulators to a human or a mammal in need thereof. Specifically, the present invention provides compounds of Formula (1) and the enantiomers, diastereomers, tautomers, solvates and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media (transitory and non-transitory) are described that are associated with contextual information interfaces. In various embodiments, a contextual information interface may be presented in association with a media content on a display. In various embodiments, contemporaneously with the presentation of the contextual information interface, information pertinent to the media content and/or a source of the media content may be obtained from a remote computing device. In various embodiments, one or more selectable elements may be selectively rendered, as part of the contextual information interface, based on the obtained information. In various embodiments, the one or more selectable elements may be operable to cause a computing device to present on the display one or more other media contents pertinent to the media content and/or the source of the media content.

Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with menu interfaces for media source and content navigation. In embodiments, a menu interface may be selectively rendered. In various embodiments, the selective rendering may include selectively rendering a first scrollable arrangement of selectable elements disposed along a first axis to represent sources of media content; and selectively rendering a second scrollable arrangement of selectable elements to represent media contents available from only a selected one of the sources of media content and not unselected ones of the sources of media content, wherein the second scrollable arrangement of selectable elements is disposed along a second axis that extends from the first axis.

Abstract: A process and an apparatus separate a volatile component from a substance mixture (raw product). The substance mixture is heated, the volatile component is at least partly evaporated and then the vapor formed is condensed. To improve the separating action, the condensate, in the region of the point of condensation, is contacted with a liquid in which the condensate dissolves.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds according to the general formulas (I) and/or (Ia), which bind to the LXR receptors and act as agonists and antagonists of the LXR receptors. The invention further relates to the treatment of diseases and/or conditions through binding of said nuclear receptor by said compounds and the production of medicaments using said compounds.

Abstract: A graphics processor uses a line draw facility to receive first and second values indicative of the coordinates of respective first and second end points of a line. The reception of the second value is sensed by the line draw facility and line data is generated responsive to the sensing of the second value.

Abstract: Liquid culture media for improved mating efficiency of microorganisms with a sexual or parasexual life cycle are described along with methods for improving mating efficiency of yeast cells in yeast two hybrid systems. The improved mating efficiency of cells is observed with liquid culture media containing high-molecular weight, swellable compounds including polyethylene glycol.

Abstract: A graphics device includes first and second endpoint memories where coordinates of a line can be stored. State logic within the graphics device calculates line parameters from the first and second endpoints. The calculated line parameters include a line error term which can be stored in an error term memory. The error term memory is writeable from a source external to the graphics device, such as the CPU of a computer system, so that the external source can modify the contents of the error term register.
