  • Patent number: 8862991
    Abstract: The optimal version of a document can depend on the user's need and the presentation device, and can govern choices of content as well as style. The content needed for multiple versions of a document can be included in a single document structure and identified by means of tags or by a content selection node. Tags allow the user to specify a desired version, while selection nodes allow the content to be automatically selected, styled and formatted to optimize a set of constraints. Content alternatives may be generated automatically from original content.

  • Patent number: 7391885
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for determining a document's overall effectiveness or quality using a technique that employs detecting correlation between document citation rate and document presentation elements such as style and layout. A document's citation rate is the number of citations of or references to that document from other documents. This is taken as an indicator of a document's overall effectiveness. This invention employs automated means to obtain, for a sample of documents, both presentation data and citation rate data. Presentation data is obtained, for each document in the sample, by automated inspection of the document, for stylistic elements. The citation rate for each document is based on the number of citations (e.g., hyperlinks) to that document from another set of documents, the larger the set the better.

  • Patent number: 7243109
    Abstract: A method of organizing electronic document-related information at least includes generating a collection of electronic documents, forming from the collection, at least one cluster of documents based upon a user's selection of a subject, and determining for each author of documents in the cluster, the number of times each the author is an author of a document corresponding to the subject. The authors are ranked and presented to the user in the form of an index. The ranked index can be interpreted as a ranking of subject matter experts.

  • Patent number: 6119156
    Abstract: In an SNMP-based network management system, an agent within the system maintains a quantity of memory which serves as a "lock table." The lock table is a set of object identifiers (OID's) relating to objects associated with the agent. When a manager on the network requests a particular object associated with the agent, the agent retains the OID of the object in the lock table. If another manager simultaneously wishes to set an object associated with the agent, the OID of the proposed object is compared to any OID currently in the lock table, and if the proposed object intersects with one of the objects in the lock table, access to the object is denied. The method permits locking of specific objects, while leaving other objects associated with the same device available to others.
