20090157599 | SEGMENTATION OF SEARCH TOPICS IN QUERY LOGS - A system and method are disclosed for identifying the tasks that a user is attempting to perform when submitting a series of search queries. A task may be categorized hierarchically into a mission and a goal in order to classify a series of queries and determine the user's intent. The user's mission may be an extended task and the user's goal may be a specific task. A pair of queries may be analyzed to determine whether those queries have the same mission and/or the same goal. For a series of queries, boundaries may be identified between the queries to identify where a user has changed her goal or changed her mission. The identification of goals, missions and boundaries may be automated based on an analysis of features of the queries that are compared. | 06-18-2009 |

20130233273 | RECIPROCATING PISTON ENGINE - The invention relates to a reciprocating piston engine, comprising at least one main combustion chamber, which is formed between a piston and a cylinder and which is connected by means of a riser to a pre-chamber having a pre-chamber axis, so that gas-air mixture pushed from the main combustion chamber into the riser by the piston forms a rising flow in the pre-chamber, wherein a gas supply channel separate from the riser opens into the prechamber, and wherein the riser and the gas supply channel are oriented with respect to each other in such a way that gas fed into the pre-chamber by means of the gas supply channel hits the rising flow substantially head-on, wherein the riser runs at an angle from the pre-chamber axis. | 09-12-2013 |
20130276745 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head having a cylinder head base, a cylinder wall and a piston which is movable along a cylinder axis, and having a piston crown. A main combustion chamber is formed between the cylinder head base, the cylinder wall and piston crown. A precombustion chamber is inserted into a bore of the cylinder head and is fixed relative to the bore in the circumferential direction of the bore. The axis of the bore is at least substantially parallel to the cylinder axis, and a precombustion-type combustion chamber is formed in the precombustion chamber. At least one ring of transfer openings connects the precombustion-type combustion chamber to the main combustion chamber and in each case the angle which the transfer opening encloses with the cylinder axis differs for at least two transfer openings of the at least one ring. | 10-24-2013 |

20140024449 | Graphic User Interface for Cooking Game - Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for presenting Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in an online game. In one method, a “throw in the ingredients” animation is performed to place ingredients into a cooking appliance (e.g., a grill). Each time the player clicks on an ingredient, the ingredient goes into the cooking appliance. In one example, the last item has a special flair or a colorful animation indicating that the dish is ready to be cooked. In another interface, the user is given an option by the game to “show me” which teaches the player how to get that ingredient. The interface may also show which friends have the desired ingredient, and if the player clicks one of the friends, a game request is sent to the friend for the needed ingredient. | 01-23-2014 |
20140024460 | Regular Visitor to Friend Board in Viral Game - Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for presenting Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in an online game. In one method, a player becomes a “regular” visitor of a friend when the player visits the friend a predetermined amount of times within a certain period (e.g., three times within the last seven days). When a player becomes a regular visitor, the player may obtain items (e.g., pepper) that are not obtainable in any other way. As long as a player is a regular visitor, the player may continue visiting the friend to continue obtaining the special items. However, if the player falls below the threshold of visits required within the period, the status of regular visitor is lost by the player, and the player may regain the regular status by meeting the requirement again. | 01-23-2014 |

20140108519 | NAMESPACE AND STORAGE MANAGEMENT APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR USE IN MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES IN A STORAGE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT - A namespace and storage management (NSM) application includes an infrastructure configured to enable efficient management of resources in a storage system environment. The NSM application executes on a NSM console and interacts with an NSM server to integrate namespace management and storage management in the storage system environment. The NSM server, in turn, interacts with one or more remote agents installed on host machines in the environment to convey application programming interface (API) function calls that enable remote management of the resources. | 04-17-2014 |
