Abstract: A server automatically generates a response to a request received from a first user. The server generates response templates for the second user. The server receives the request from the first user, where the request includes request values for request fields. The server selects the second user to respond to the request received from the first user. The server automatically selects one of the response templates for generating the response to the request. The selected one of the response templates is determined to be the response template that most closely matches the request received from the first user. The server automatically generates the response using the selected response template including populating one or more placeholder values with information extracted from the request received from the first user. The server transmits the generated response to the first user.

Abstract: An image displaying system and an image displaying method are provided. The image displaying system includes a liquid crystal screen with a display area. Firstly, an original frame corresponding to an image signal is shown on the display area at a first time point. Then, an adjusted image is shown on the display area at a second point according to a setting information. The adjusted image and the original frame have different contents. Then, the adjusted image is not shown but the original frame is shown on the display area at a third time point. The time difference between the third time point and the first time point is not larger than a response time period corresponding to the human persistence of vision. Consequently, the image sticking problem or an image retention phenomenon of the liquid crystal displaying technology is overcome.

The server system provides the set of primitives to the client devices of multiple types, and the client devices render the set of primitives in the native application.

Abstract: The present invention provides copybook flat data conversion with inline transformation. Specifically, a streaming intermediary formatted data message is generated as a result of converting/transforming a flat file format (non-XML (Extensible Markup Language) format), such as raw fixed-length field COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) copybook format or the like. The streaming intermediary format is not fully held in memory, but rather is directly transformed/converted, using XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) processing, into a target format, such as structured XML or the like. By directly streaming the intermediary format to the XSLT process without holding the entire data message in memory, the present invention utilizes less memory and, as such, less memory is needed to be reclaimed.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for graphically displaying recommended mappings between a source data object and a target data object in a design time of a cloud-based integration service. The system can include a recommendation engine that provides recommended mappings between the source and target data objects, so that the recommended mappings can be graphically displayed in a mapping interface. The recommended mappings can be filtered based one or more filtering criteria. Each recommended mapping can be displayed differently from an actual mapping, and can be associated with a reliability/quality indicator. A particular recommended mapping can be accepted to become an actual mapping, or to be rejected. The system allows a user to toggle between actual mappings and recommended mappings between the source and target data objects.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an innovative circuit structure for control insertion into a multiple-word wide data stream. The control-insertion circuit structure is advantageously scalable as the data width increases. An exemplary implementation of the control-insertion circuit structure includes a multiple-layer shifting circuit. The multiple-layer shifting circuit has some similarities with a barrel shifter. However, unlike a barrel shifter, the multiple-layer shifting circuit moves data words in both directions and moves portions of the data to create spaces or holes in the data (rather than moving the entire width as a barrel shifter does). The output of the multiple-layer shifting circuit is a “swiss-cheese-like” structure of data, where the spaces or holes in the data are available for control insertion. Other features, aspects and embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for implementing an improved rendering engine for rendering network content that utilizes a shared memory block. A client computing device executes a browser software application that generates a document object model (“DOM”) tree. The improved rendering engine analyzes the DOM tree and identifies repeating patterns of nodes or branches whose content is rendered to a separate memory block.

Each node on the shared memory block may have a coordinate translation function to relate the node position on the shared memory block to a corresponding position in a composite memory block. Additionally, transformations and filters may be applied to the shared memory block as a whole, rather than applying them to the nodes individually.
