Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include executing a business application on a server device, the business application executing a service based on a base plurality of inputs, accessing a first service variant based on the service, generating a first plurality of input fields based on the first service variant, the first plurality of input fields corresponding to a first plurality of inputs, the first plurality of inputs being a sub-set of the base plurality of inputs, and executing the service based on the first plurality of inputs that is input using the first plurality of input fields.

Abstract: A system provides client access to customized news content. The system includes a custom news source server and a news search server. The custom news source server periodically sends one or more customized search queries to a news search server. The news search server fetches news content from multiple news source servers and aggregates the news content. The news search server also periodically receives the one or more search queries from the custom news source server, searches the aggregated news content based on the one or more search queries, and periodically provides selected news content to the custom news server based on results of the searches. The custom news source server permits access to clients, from across a network, to the selected news content provided by the news search server.

Abstract: An ablation catheter includes an elongated sheath configured for intravascular usage, and an inner tube disposed within the elongated sheath. The inner tube is rotatable and translatable relative to the sheath. An optical fiber is disposed within the inner tube and extends longitudinally therethrough. A proximal end of the optical fiber is optically coupled to a light source and a distal end of the optical fiber is connected to a beam director configured to focus energy on target tissue inside a blood vessel to ablate the target tissue.

Abstract: A system receives a search query, determines whether the received search query includes an entity name, and determines whether the entity name is associated with a common word or phrase. When the entity name is associated with a common word or phrase, the system generates a link to a rewritten query, performs a search based on the received search query to obtain first search results, and provides the first search results and the link to the rewritten query. When the entity name is not associated with a common word or phrase, the system rewrites the received search query to include a restrict identifier associated with the entity name, generates a link to the received search query, performs a search based on the rewritten search query to obtain second search results, and provides the second search results and the link to the received search query.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of a stabilizer which significantly enhances the compatibility of the binder (polymer dispersion) with the liquid ammonium polyphosphate, called APP for short, in a flame-retardant coating composition. In this flame-retardant coating composition, the liquid ammonium polyphosphate functions as active flame retardant. The flame-retardant coating compositions are highly suitable for all kinds of textiles, but also for paper, leather and fibre materials. The purpose of flame retardants is to retard the inflammation of combustible materials, such as plastics, textiles or wood, and to slow down or prevent entirely the spread of flame.

Abstract: A system customizes a news document associated with a user of a news aggregation service. The system includes multiple news source servers that store news content and a remote news aggregation server. The news aggregation server creates a customized news document based on one or more personalized search queries received from a user. The news aggregation server fetches the news content from the multiple news source servers, aggregates the news content, and searches the aggregated news content based on the one or more personalized search queries. The news aggregation server provides selected news content to the customized news document based on results of the search.

Abstract: A system identifies a first document that includes a number of first images, identifies a second document that includes a number of second images, and forms a cluster based on a relationship between the first document and the second document. The system identifies a first caption associated with one of the first images, identifies a second caption associated with one of the second images, selects the one of the first images or the one of the second images as a representative image for the cluster based on the first caption or the second caption, and associates the representative image with the cluster.

Abstract: A system ranks results. The system may receive a list of links. The system may identify a source with which each of the links is associated and rank the list of links based at least in part on a quality of the identified sources.

Abstract: A method relates to quality of services and management of diverse data connections to and from an application launched on a computing platform. The diverse types of data connections to and from the application may include, for example, one or more of HTTP, Web Services, OData/REST, OData/HTTP, SAP RFC, and SAP ALE types of data connections. The method includes providing a layer, in the computing platform, for quality of services and management of diverse types of data connections to and from the application and providing a common entry point to receive data destined for external receivers over the diverse types of data connections to and from the application.

Abstract: A system receives a search query, determines whether the received search query includes an entity name, and determines whether the entity name is associated with a common word or phrase. When the entity name is associated with a common word or phrase, the system generates a link to a rewritten query, performs a search based on the received search query to obtain first search results, and provides the first search results and the link to the rewritten query. When the entity name is not associated with a common word or phrase, the system rewrites the received search query to include a restrict identifier associated with the entity name, generates a link to the received search query, performs a search based on the rewritten search query to obtain second search results, and provides the second search results and the link to the received search query.

Abstract: A container comprises a shoulder portion terminating at an opening and a sidewall portion extending from the shoulder portion to a base portion. The base portion closes off an end of the container. The shoulder portion, the sidewall portion and the base portion cooperate to define a receptacle chamber within the container into which product can be filled. A barrier layer extends continuously along the base portion, the sidewall portion, and the shoulder portion to the opening and is made of a polymer based material.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for scoring documents in response, in part, to parameters related to the document, source, and/or cluster score. Methods and apparatus are also described for scoring a cluster in response, in part, to parameters related to documents within the cluster and/or sources corresponding to the documents within the cluster. In one embodiment, the invention may identify the source; detect a plurality of documents published by the source; analyze the plurality of documents with respect to at least one parameter; and determine a source score for the source in response, in part, to the parameter. In another embodiment, the invention may identify a topic; identify a plurality of clusters in response to the topic; analyze at least one parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of clusters; and calculate a cluster score for each of the plurality of clusters in response, in part, to the parameter.
