20140082468 | Browser for rating pages with respect to search goals - The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system for web content management, wherein ratings of page relevance to search goals are used to streamline the interface and enhance search engine accuracy. The usage model combines a “view queue” of pages marked for imminent inspection together with “rate and go” buttons that simultaneously record a rating of the current page's relevance to the present search goal and dismiss the current page, replacing it with another from the view queue. For no extra effort, the user is rewarded with more intelligent window and history management based on knowledge of the ratings, whilst the search and authoring community benefits from uploading of the rating data. In an advanced embodiment, search attempts are automatically grouped into “search contexts” within which the relevance ratings are scoped. | 03-20-2014 |

20130315201 | PROCESSING DATA UNITS - An embodiment of a method for processing data units is provided that includes receiving a plurality of data units, of a data stream, having respective sequence numbers and, employing a reordering window, determining whether a newly received data unit of the data stream is a new data unit or a repeated data unit at the receiver and defining a first and a second range of sequence numbers relative to the sequence number of a previously received data unit. A newly received data unit is determined to be either a new or a repeated data unit based on whether the sequence number of the newly received data unit falls within the first or second range, and processed at the receiver based on this determination. A handover condition is detected, and in response thereto the first and second ranges of the reordering window are adjusted for use during the handover condition. | 11-28-2013 |

The protocol indicates that the receiver is to use a reordering window to determine whether a data unit which is newly received from the transmitter is a new or repeated data unit the data stream by comparing the sequence numbers of the newly received data unit and a previously received data unit. A status report is received and based thereon, the sequence number of a next data unit to be transmitted in a new cell following a handover is selectively adjusted such that the next data unit will be determined to be a new data unit. The next data unit is transmitted with the adjusted sequence number to the receiver. | 11-28-2013 |

20130226641 | MONITORING PROJECT PLANS INTEGRATED WITH USER DATA STORES AND PROVIDING REWARDS - Embodiments enable the monitoring of project plans and the selection and application of rewards to motivate users. Project plans having one or more project content items are created according to a pre-defined schema. The project plans are integrated with user data stores, such as calendar appointments, tasks, and shopping lists. Progress indicators reflecting a completion status of the project plans are calculated for the project plans. Rewards are selected based on the progress indicators and on user preferences (e.g., collected user activity data). The rewards correspond to milestones associated with the project plans, and are integrated into the user data stores when the user reaches the corresponding milestones. | 08-29-2013 |
20130226647 | INTEGRATING PROJECT PLANS INTO USER DATA STORES - Embodiments enable the selection and application of project plans to user data stores. A project plan having one or more project content items is created according to a pre-defined schema. The project plan is analyzed to identify the project content items that correspond to user data stores available on a computing device. The user data stores include, for example, calendar appointments, tasks, and shopping lists. The project content items are integrated with the user data stores, such as by creating calendar entries, adding tasks, and adding items to the shopping lists. A manifest is defined to describe and record the integrated project content items and the corresponding user data stores. The manifest may also be used to remove or suspend the project plan. | 08-29-2013 |
20130226816 | CREATING CUSTOMIZED PROJECT PLANS INTEGRATED WITH USER DATA STORES - Embodiments modify project plans to create customized project plans for a user. A project plan having one or more project content items is created according to a pre-defined schema. The user customizes the project plan by adding, removing, and/or substituting project content items or properties (e.g., adjust the timing for accomplishing tasks). The customized project plan is analyzed to identify the project content items that correspond to user data stores available on a computing device. The user data stores include, for example, calendar appointments, tasks, and shopping lists. The project content items are integrated with the user data stores, such as by creating calendar entries, adding tasks, and adding items to the shopping lists. A manifest is defined to describe and record the integrated project content items and the corresponding user data stores. | 08-29-2013 |

20140113767 | Torque Converter with Stator Clutch - A torque converter includes a prime mover input and an impeller configured to rotate in response to the prime mover input. The torque converter further includes a turbine arranged with the impeller and configured to rotate in response to rotation of the impeller, a stator arranged with the impeller and the turbine, and a stator clutch configured to allow rotation of the stator in a first mode and configured to limit rotation of the stator in a second mode. The torque converter further including a stator clutch actuator configured to activate and deactivate the stator clutch to place the stator clutch in the second mode during particular operations and to place the stator clutch in the first mode. A vehicle and a process of converting torque for operation of a vehicle are also disclosed. | 04-24-2014 |

20120060579 | Bending tool - A bending tool for bending and shaping general purpose building wire and cable. The bending tool including a main body having a first end opposite a second end. The first and second ends each include a pair of metal dowels fixedly attached with couplings. Each pair of metal dowels are spaced apart and define a spacing sized for releasably receiving a cable wire such as the 500 MCM cable, between the pair of metal dowels. Preferably, each of the pair of metal dowels define an outer knurled surface. | 03-15-2012 |

20080271514 | System and Method for Precise Liquid Measurement in a Liquid Sampling Pipette - A device and method are provided for correcting a requested volume of liquid to aspirate/dispense by a liquid-handling pipette based on the requested volume and/or a physical condition at the pipene. The pipette includes a piston drive mechanism configured to contact a piston assembly and move a piston rod of the piston assembly within a tip holder thereby causing regulation of an amount of liquid in the tip holder. The method includes selecting a requested volume at a pipette, the requested volume representing the amount of liquid to regulate, calculating a correction volume using a volume characterization, wherein the volume characterization characterizes a difference in the amount of the liquid regulated in the tip holder as a function of the requested volume, and displaying the correction volume to a user of the pipette thereby regulating the requested volume of liquid in the tip holder. The volume characterization is determined using a calibration process. | 11-06-2008 |
