20110219008 | INDEXING MULTIPLE TYPES OF DATA TO FACILITATE RAPID RE-INDEXING OF ONE OR MORE TYPES OF DATA - A method and indexing system indexes the content of a body of documents into a content index, and the metadata of the documents into a metadata index which is a parallel index to the content index. The metadata is copied into a data store that is easily accessible by the indexing system and is stored in native form. The indexing system can dynamically re-index the metadata from the native metadata in the data store to produce a new metadata index which is used to replace the original metadata index. Search queries received by a search engine associated with the indexing system are applied to both the content and metadata index and the results are merged for return. | 09-08-2011 |

20090078833 | Rigidly Attached Cable Support for Ductwork Having At Least Three Flat Side Surfaces - A cable clamp-bracket combination for rigidly connecting to an item to be suspended, especially a HVAC duct suspended from the ceiling of a structure. The combination utilizing, e.g., a commercially available cable clamp rigidly but removably connected to the clamp in a position where openings in the bracket surfaces mate with the cable channels through the clamp and a slot through the bracket mates with a clamp release projection on the clamp. The cable clamp includes a clamp clutch adjacent each cable channel for holding a support cable. The combination resulting in a rigid connection between the clamp and the item (e.g., duct) and a non-slip connection between the supporting cables and the item. The bracket can be formed from a flat plate having preformed openings and connecting elements by bending the plate into the desired form for holding the clamp and being securable to the, e.g., duct. | 03-26-2009 |

20150369617 | Integrating Online Navigation Data with Cached Navigation Data During Active Navigation - When a portable device cannot connect to a network, offline navigation directions are generated and displayed by obtaining navigation instructions stored on the portable device which direct a user from a first location to a second location. When a network connection later becomes available, the portable device obtains online navigation directions from the first location to the second location from a navigation server. The portable device updates the offline navigation directions in a least disruptive manner, with information from the online navigation directions by determining the difference between the online and the offline navigation directions. If the online and offline navigation directions are similar, the portable device updates the display with estimated time data, traffic data, etc., from the online navigation directions. Otherwise, if there is a significant difference between the online and offline navigation directions, the portable device displays the online navigation directions as an alternative route. | 12-24-2015 |
20150370811 | Dynamically Integrating Offline and Online Suggestions in a Geographic Application - An initial sequence of one or more symbols is received via a user interface. An attempt is made to send a request for online suggestions to a network server via a communication network, the request including at least one symbol in the initial sequence. When the initial sequence is less than n symbols long, and if no response to the request is received, the initial sequence is displayed without generating offline suggestions. When the initial sequence is at least n symbols long, and if no response to the request is received within a predetermined period of time, offline suggestions consistent with the initial sequence are generated using offline geospatial data stored in the computing device, and the offline suggestions are provided via the user interface. | 12-24-2015 |
