An example embodiment includes obtaining graph data including information related to a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes corresponding to search queries performed on a particular host site; constructing a plurality of sub-graphs, the sub-graphs being clusters of search results that are formed based on an amount of overlap among the search results produced from the search queries; rendering the graph by displaying each of the plurality of nodes at a respective absolute position within the graph and generating a plurality of tiles representing images of the plurality of sub-graphs; and displaying a sub-graph image corresponding to a selected position and zoom level.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, a method is illustrated as retrieving a plurality of search queries and defining relationships between search queries in the plurality of search queries based on semantic data associated with the search queries. A visual representation of the of the plurality of search queries may be generated and the visual representation may be partitioned into a plurality of tiles, each title representing a predefined portion of the visual representation.

Abstract: A collision warning assembly for collision avoidance includes a power module, a control module and a plurality of detector-alarm devices. The control module and the detector-alarm devices are operationally coupled to the power module. The detector-alarm devices are operationally coupled to the control module. The detector-alarm devices are configured for placement along paths to sites of potential collision, such as opposing sides of a doorway and along intersecting hallways. The control module is positioned to process motion signals received from the plurality of detector-alarm devices. Receipt by the control module of motion signals from more than one the detector-alarm device will motivate the control module to selectively actuate the plurality of indicators, such that a user is warned of a potential collision.

In other embodiments, methods are disclosed for manufacturing undercut and non-undercut stators using friction welding techniques to conjoin threaded end sections to stator sections having helical pathways formed therein.

Abstract: A Multimedia Alert and Response System for Urgent and Local Requests have been disclosed. In one version when an urgent request is received urgent rules are applied, a reverse call center is applied, and a service provider is connected telephonically with a live service provider person.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for distributing online ads with electronic content according to online ad request targeting parameters. One embodiment of this technique involves placing online test ads across multiple online ad request dimensions and tracking a performance metric for the online test ads. The performance of the online ad request dimensions is estimated based on the tracking of the performance metric for the online test ads and online ad request targeting parameters are established for spending a budget of a campaign to place online ads in response to online ad requests having particular online ad request dimensions. Online ads are then distributed based on using the online ad request targeting parameters to select online ad requests.

Abstract: The invention provides a wearable air purification device which actively generates a propelled stream of purified air for direct delivery to a region proximal to a user's mouth or nose for their immediate inhalation. An air chamber comprises a flexible diaphragm adapted to fluctuate between two extreme positions, thereby altering the volume within the chamber and alternately sucking and blowing air into and out of the chamber. Filtration elements are arranged in said air chamber. The filtration elements are arranged so as to make fluid communication with air displaced into the air chamber and, to make fluid communication with air displaced out of said chamber so that air is cleaned as it passes both into, and out of, the air chamber. The filtration elements actively remove particulate or gaseous pollutants. Embodiments of the invention may comprise a plurality of such air chamber assemblies, arranged so as to collectively deliver a continuous flow of air to a breathing zone of the user.

Abstract: An optical apparatus comprising: a source and a loop. The source generates a pump. The resonating cavity of the source includes: a gain medium; and a tunable filter for selecting a wavelength. The loop comprises: an input coupler; a waveguide; and an output coupler. The input coupler receives the pump and a signal and outputs the pump and the signal into the waveguide In the waveguide, energy in the pump is transferred into energy in the signal while a relative center position of the signal is crossing a center position of the pump in a first direction while both are passing through the waveguide and into the output coupler. The output coupler r outputs a first portion of the signal and a second portion of the signal is fed into the input coupler as the signal, completing the loop.
