Abstract: Methods, systems, and products generate web pages using elidable links to additional content. When a link is selected in a web page, elision is used to automatically remove a URL and its associated content from the web page, thus reducing previously visited material. When a user selects an elision-enabled link, the link is not displayed during subsequent displaying of the same web page.

Abstract: Distribution of content between publishers and consumers is accomplished using an overlay network that may make use of XML language to facilitate content identification. The overlay network includes a plurality of routers that may be in communication with each other and the publishers and consumers on the Internet. Content and queries are identified by content descriptors that are routed from the originator to a nearest router in the overlay network. The nearest router, for each unique content descriptor, generates a hash identification of the content descriptor which is used by remaining routers in the overlay network to provide the appropriate functions with respect to the content descriptor. In particular, this allows all routers in the overlay network except the nearest router to properly route content without processing every content descriptor.

Abstract: Systems, application programming interfaces, and other embodiments associated with internet measurements are described. Example systems and methods facilitate requesting that a control server acquire internet measurements from a set of distributed measurement points. One example application programming interface (API) includes a list request interface to provide a list request to a control server. The list request may request a list of measurement points from the control server. The example API may also include a list receipt interface to receive a list response from the control server. The list response may contain information concerning measurement points. The API may enable a user to perform a complex series of internet measurements by giving the user access to standardized function calls for accessing a distributed internet measurement system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with email address consumer reputation are described. One example method includes detecting a provision of an email address to an email address consumer. The example method may also include warning a user that the email address consumer may be associated with undesirable email traffic upon determining that the email address consumer satisfies a standard based on data acquired from a reputation system.

Abstract: The present invention provides an architecture that advantageously leverages multiple content distribution networks to provide enhanced services. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a share of content requests are served by each of a plurality of content distribution networks. The fraction of content requests served by a particular content distribution network can be determined dynamically, depending on the offered load or other traffic characteristics.

Abstract: A method of limiting reuse of domain name information includes the steps of requesting the information by a local domain name server from an authoritative domain name server, and providing this information to a requestor, such as a client or server. The domain name information includes an allowable usage limit that represents a maximum number of times that the information can be provided to the requestor before revalidating the information. A system for limiting reuse of domain name information includes an authoritative domain name server, a local domain name server, and a requestor. The authoritative server provides the information, which includes the allowable usage limit, in response to a request by the local server. The request from the local server may include the number of times that the local server provided the information to one or more requestors as an observed usage.

Abstract: A method and system are described to multicast with an adaptive dual state. The system receives multicast traffic over a membership tree including a first plurality of nodes connected in a first topology destined for a plurality of multicast members of a first multicast group. Next, the system determines a rate of multicast traffic that exceeds a predetermined threshold based on the receiving the multicast traffic. Next, the system generates a dissemination tree including a second plurality of nodes connected in a second topology to reduce a number of hops to communicate the multicast traffic to the plurality of multicast members of the first multicast group. Finally, the system forwards the multicast traffic to the plurality of multicast members of the first multicast group over the dissemination tree.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described to store state used to forward multicast traffic. The system includes a receiving module to receive request to add a first node to a membership tree. The membership tree includes a first plurality of nodes associated with a multicast group. The system further includes a processing module to identify a second node in the first plurality of nodes and to communicate a node identifier that identifies the first node over a network to the second node. The node identifier is to be stored at the second node to add the first node to the membership tree. The node identifier is further to be stored in the membership tree exclusively at the second node to enable the second node to forward the multicast traffic to the first node.

Abstract: Neural networks may be used to determine and predict formation dip angles and perform quality assurance assessments from data collected with a multi-component induction tool used for well logging. The neural networks make use of corrected, rotated and normalized data to provide the predictions and assessments. Synthetic data using various models is used to train the neural networks. The teachings herein provide for real-time determinations with a substantial degree of accuracy in the results.

Abstract: Multifrequency focusing is applied to measurements made with a multicomponent resistivity logging tool in an earth formation having resisitivity anisotropy. From knowledge of relative dip and azimuth of the borehole relative to the formation, two modes can be separated, one of which is dependent substantially on the horizontal resistivity. Alternatively, mode separation and angle determination can be made simultaneously.

Abstract: In an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) system, an IPTV server is configured to receive a request from an IPTV content storage device (CSD) to view a video stream. The IPTV server selects a set of peers for the IPTV CSD, and transmits the set of peers to the IPTV CSD. In the system, a capacity of a fiber to the node (FTTN) switch in a down linking direction is greater than or equal to a sum of a number of simultaneous viewers supported by the FTTN switch plus a number of viewers that receive video streams from peers in the same community.

Abstract: Measurements are made with a multicomponent logging tool in an earth formation. The measurements are inverted without using a selected cross-component measurement. The model is then used to predict the value of the selected cross-component. A misalignment angle of the tool is estimated from the predicted and actual values of the selected cross-component.

Abstract: Multicomponent induction measurements may underestimate the anisotropy in formations where the bedding changes with distance from the borehole. The measurements may still be used to determine horizontal and vertical resistivity, and to identify complicated bedding structure such as that associated with channel sands and turbidite deposits.

Abstract: Measurements made by a multi-component induction logging tool may be corrected for tool eccentricity or the presence of a fracture in the earth formation. The corrected measurements may then be used in conjunction with a multi-array measurement to determine horizontal and vertical formation resistivity.
