Abstract: Instant messages sent by a viewer of a video while the video is perceivable to the viewer may be monitored. An event of interest occurring in the video may be identified based on the monitored instant messages. Metadata that describes the event of interest may be generated and assigned to the video. A request for video content associated with the video may be received from a user. An indexed collection of videos that includes the video may be searched for the requested video content. Based on the search, it may be determined that the video satisfies the user's request. The event of interest occurring in the video may be identified based on the metadata assigned to the video. User perception of a scene from the video that includes the event of interest may be enabled.

Abstract: Collecting and distributing information related to recent content publication activity of an instant messaging (IM) user provides other users in a network with timely, relevant information about people known to the user or within the same social network. A user participating in a social network can quickly and efficiently perceive new information related to other users (referred to as co-users) in a social network by reviewing the co-users' recent content publication activity. A user may be made able to do so without requiring the co-user to send a communication directly to the user regarding the new facts or new content, and also without requiring the user to actively browse or request information about the co-user.

Abstract: One or more embodiments are related to a method of operating a phase-change memory array, including: providing the phase-change memory array, the phase-change memory array including a phase-change memory element in series with an access device between a first address line and a power line; causing a first current through the memory element from the first address line to the power line; and causing a second current through the memory element from the power line to the first address line.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for policy based dissemination control of controlled content (e.g., electronic messages). Upon detection at a receiving device that a user is attempting further dissemination (e.g., forwarding) of controlled content, the receiving device sends a query to a policy control server. The policy control server uses the information received in the query to perform a database lookup in order to determine dissemination control instructions. The dissemination control instructions are sent to the receiving device and the receiving device enforces the instructions with respect to the attempted dissemination. The dissemination control instructions may, for example, allow further dissemination, deny further dissemination, or allow further dissemination only upon receipt of permission from the content owner. The dissemination control instructions may also indicate that the content owner is to be notified of the attempted dissemination.

Abstract: A clamp for securing a tubular or hose-shaped object on a support. The clamp includes a clamp jacket having first and second ends, wherein a first leg protrudes from the first end of the clamp jacket and a second leg projects from the second end of the clamp jacket. The first leg has a lug which in the open state protrudes in the direction of the second leg. The second leg includes a fastening section which can be inserted into a gap between the lug and a neighboring portion of the first leg located opposite the lug, wherein, in the closed state of the clamp, the lug is plastically deformed toward the outer side of the fastening section facing away from the first leg.
