20120016863 | ENRICHING METADATA OF CATEGORIZED DOCUMENTS FOR SEARCH - Methods for enriching metadata associated with a document that is categorized in a document category are described. Documents are pre-categorized within a document category. Uniform resource locaters (URL) that are related to a document category are identified and linked to the document category. Indications of tokens and relationships between the tokens and the URLs are received. The tokens are linked to the URLs. The tokens are propagated to the document categories and to the documents therein based on linking between the token, URL, and document category. As such the document category, and documents therein, are provided with metadata that is descriptive thereof. The documents and their associated metadata tokens are useable to generate a searchable index of the documents. The linking between the tokens, URLs, and categories is also useable to identify tokens that are too specific, too general, or documents that are miscategorized. | 01-19-2012 |

In this way, the storyline visualization may relate to a main story, which may branch into various storylines that respectively comprise one or more chapters. A user may be able to interactively explore the storyline visualization to understand the evolution of the main story (e.g., how a first storyline may have developed and/or be related to a second (developing) storyline). The storyline visualization may provide access to the underlying temporal documents. The storyline visualization may be presented as a timeline, a virtual storybook, a photo album, and/or other various visualizations. | 06-20-2013 |

The spatial visualization may be populated with events extracted from a data source (e.g., real-time events, news events, social network events, etc.), and may include relationships between events (e.g., based upon time, location, contextual similarity (e.g., social network check-in events at a restaurant), events referencing one another (e.g., an article describing a first event may comprise a hyperlink to an article describing a second event) etc.). Filter criteria (e.g., date, event type, location, etc.) may be applied to events and/or relationships when populating the spatial visualization. A sequence of events and corresponding relationships may be animated within the spatial visualization (e.g., as the events unfold over a (user) designated period of time). | 07-25-2013 |

20140216224 | TABLE SAW - A table saw includes a base, a work table having a cutting opening, a tank for receiving cooling liquid, a blade partly extending out from the cutting opening, and a guard assembly. The guard assembly includes a guard for covering the blade and for moving upwards under the action of a workpiece. In a working condition, at least a portion of the guard abuts against the workpiece, and the workpiece can slide relative to the guard. The guard has a guiding wall which abuts against the workpiece in the working condition and which guides the cooling liquid into a kerf in the workpiece formed by the blade. Because the table saw collects the cooling liquid brought by the blade and returns it to the tank for receiving the cooling liquid through the cutting opening of the work table, the table saw effectively controls the cooling liquid splashed during the cutting operation of the workpiece and prevents the cooling liquid from splashing to dirty the operator, the work table, and the workpiece, saves the time of cleaning the workpiece after cutting, and enhances the operating comfort of the operator. | 08-07-2014 |
