  • Publication number: 20130262176
    Abstract: Certain embodiments include methods, systems, and non-transitory computer program products for fulfilling supply and demand. The method includes receiving a demand for a resource, and determining a plurality of relationships among related resources. The related resources can represent dependent resources needing to be fulfilled in order to fulfill the demand for the resource. The relationships can group the related resources into levels according to the dependencies. For each level, the method further includes processing dependent resources depth-first proceeding down levels, if an importance of the related resources indicates there are no more important related resources to process at the level, and interrupting the depth-first processing to process related resources breadth-first at the level, if the importance of the related resources indicates there are more important related resources at the level.

  • Publication number: 20120324589
    Abstract: Embodiments enable content sharing using event notifications that include a global identifier and a private identifier. The event notifications are sent to potential participants to an event. Potential participants that accept the event notification or otherwise request to join the event use the private identifier to submit content to a content sharing service. Based at least on the private identifiers associated with event participants, the content from event participants is selectively shared among the other event participants.

  • Patent number: 8317116
    Abstract: A method and process line apparatus for processing a sized ore feed excavated from an ore deposit is disclosed. The method involves disposing a processing apparatus in a processing apparatus position relative to the ore deposit, and disposing a first mobile conveyor to receive a sized ore feed at a receiving location located along a length of the first mobile conveyor. The first mobile conveyor is operable to convey the sized ore from the receiving location to a discharge end of the first mobile conveyor. The method also involves disposing a second mobile conveyor to receive the sized ore from the discharge end of the first mobile conveyor at a transfer location along a length of the second mobile conveyor and to convey the sized ore from the transfer location to the processing apparatus. The first and second mobile conveyors are oriented at an operational angle between a length of the first mobile conveyor and a length of the second mobile conveyor.

  • Publication number: 20120260218
    Abstract: The present application relates to a multi-dimensional icon that includes a plurality of panels linked together in a user-configurable structure. Based on user input, such as a flick or other gesture, the multi-dimensional icon can rotate to the next of a series of linked panels. In one embodiment, each linked panel can also have functionality or content associated therewith that is customizable by the user. For example, the user can select the panel to launch an application, a web page, or view content (e.g., a photo). In another embodiment, data can also be associated with a panel so that if the user selects the panel, an application can be launched or a website opened, using the data as a customization parameter.

  • Publication number: 20120249560
    Abstract: In order to perform computation concerning a large sparse matrix of values, a computer stores in its memory the nonzero values of each row and as many null or preferably zero values as are required to make up a predetermined number of stored values for each row. Associated column indices are also stored. Storage in this format can be carried out by massively parallel processing using a graphics processing unit. The format is acceptable input for programs written to expect input in conventional compressed sparse row format yet avoids the constraints which enforce serial processing in order to store in that conventional format.

  • Publication number: 20120125826
    Abstract: An oil/water separator is provided that is suitable for use aboard an oil spill recovery vessel and elsewhere. The separator comprises a tank structure divided into first and second compartments that communicate via a bottom channel. An inlet pipe supplies an oil/water mix to be separated into the first compartment. An oil suction pipe draws oil out of the first compartment on a continuous or intermittent basis. Water discharges unassisted from the second compartment once the water level in the second compartment has reached a certain level. A heating compartment is provided adjoining the first compartment thereby to enable the oil in the compartment to be heated to reduce its viscosity in cold conditions; this heating compartment is arranged to serve as a reservoir for hydraulic fluid whereby heating of the oil results from heat given up by worked hydraulic fluid returned to the heating compartment after operational use.
