Abstract: There is provided a computerized method and system of data management using extended Structured Query Language (SQL). The method includes executing an extended SQL script created in response to a data query request and comprising at least one operator of: a first operator embedding a SQL statement, or a second operator embedding a named entity. The executing comprises identifying the at least one operator in the extended SQL script; for each of the at least one operator, evaluating the embedded content thereof in runtime to dynamically generate SQL code based on a runtime input; replacing each of the at least one operator and the embedded content thereof in the extended SQL script with the generated SQL code thereof, giving rise to a standard SQL script; and running the standard SQL script to obtain a processing result of the data query request.

Abstract: A sensing unit is disclosed. The sensing unit includes: a first compartment which includes a first group of polymer beads carrying genetically engineered cells configured to produce a reporter when exposed to a target material; and a first detector configured to detect the reporter; and a second compartment having: a second group of the polymer beads carrying the genetically engineered cells configured to produce the reporter when exposed to the target material; and a second detector configured to detect the reporter. The second compartment is impenetrable to the target material and the first compartment is penetrable to the target material.

Abstract: A method for generating of a blog post respective of a blogger personalized web page is provided. The method comprises allocating a first display area within the blog post; generating at least one snippet of information received from at least one information source of relevant information, the relevant information being respective of a plurality of identifiers that uniquely characterizing a blogger of the blogger personalized web page, wherein the at least one snippet of information is placed in the first display area; generating a personal note display area within the blog post for the blogger to enter comments; allocating a viewer display area within the blog post for viewers to enter comments respective of the blog post; and feeding the blog post to at least one information source.

Abstract: A method for management of information streams delivered for use by a user of a user device comprises discovering information streams relevant to the user using a plurality of uniquifiers, wherein each uniquifier of the plurality of uniquifier characterizes the user; adding the discovered information streams to a list of approved information streams; registering to at least one information stream in the list of approved information streams; filtering data provided by the at least one information stream using the plurality of uniquifiers; and providing a feedback based on the user usage of the filter data to enable improved future discovery and filtering.

Abstract: A method for providing an answer to an input query respective of a user using a user device comprises collecting data respective of the user by using a plurality of sensors on the user device, wherein the plurality of sensors sense the user activity on the user device; generating a plurality of uniquifiers from the data, wherein each uniquifier of the plurality of uniquifier characterizes the user; evaluating periodically the plurality of uniquifiers; storing at least the evaluated plurality of uniquifiers in a memory of the user device; and responsive to the input query, providing an answer based on at least one evaluated uniquifier of the evaluated plurality of uniquifiers stored in the memory

Abstract: A system for generating a customized web page is provided. The system comprising an identifier generator and manager (IGM) for generating a plurality of identifiers from data collected respective of usage of information by a user over time and for providing an answer responsive to a query. The query answer is based on the plurality of identifiers. Also provided is an auto-discovery and management unit for determining relevancy to the user of information retrieved from an information source in which the determination is based on answers received from the IGM and a web page generator for generating a web page containing at least a snippet of the relevant information in a designated display area of the generated web page.

Abstract: A method for personalization of television content comprises determining if input information respective of the television content matches one or more uniquifiers of a user of a set-top box (STB), wherein a uniquifier characterizes a user of a user node that is associated with the STB; updating a personalized content list if the match is determined to exist; and displaying the personalized content list on a television screen coupled to the STB.

Abstract: A method for displaying a map on a mobile client device. The method includes storing map data on a server, the map data including road data with respect to roads of multiple different road types. The server determines a route from a starting point to a destination within an area covered by the map data, the route including one or more route segments. The server defines a corridor map including the route segments and the roads of the different road types that are within different, respective distances, determined by the road types, of the route segments. The server downloads the road data with respect to the route segments and the roads of the different road types included in the corridor map to the client device. The client device, using the downloaded road data, renders one or more images, each image comprising at least a respective portion of the corridor map.
