20150220110 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PORTABLE PROCESSING AND APPLICATION EXECUTION - A portable computing device, such as a wristwatch, is described. The portable computing device contains ample processing, battery and memory resources for executing applications, but provides insufficient display output capability to render a graphical user interface during application execution. Instead, the device includes a short-range wireless communication system for relaying real-time display data to an external display device for rendering a graphical user interface on the external device. By not incorporating power-hungry display technology, speakers, other communication components, such as cellular, or other battery-draining components, the portable computing device avoids the need for bulky batteries and maintains a suitable charge over a reasonable period of time. In addition, the easy portability of the device means that it can turn any external display device into its own user input/output device such that users need not mirror their applications and data to multiple devices. | 08-06-2015 |

The client accesses one or more sources of document information about the documents available on a website, such as the file system, access logs, or pre-made URL lists. Document information is extracted from the sources and one or more sitemaps are generated based on the extracted document information. A notification is transmitted to a remote computer, informing that the sitemap(s) are available for access and likely have been updated. If the remote computer is associated with a web crawler, the remote computer may access the sitemap(s) and use the sitemaps to schedule a crawl of documents included or available on the website. | 12-16-2010 |
20120036118 | Web Crawler Scheduler that Utilizes Sitemaps from Websites - Methods and systems for a web crawler scheduler that utilizes sitemaps from websites are described. A web crawler scheduling system receives a notification from a website or web server. In response to the notification, the system accesses one or more sitemap(s) for documents associated with the website or web server. The system schedules crawls of the documents based on information identified from the sitemaps. The system crawls at least a subset of the documents scheduled for crawling. | 02-09-2012 |
20130226898 | Web Crawler Scheduler that Utilizes Sitemaps from Websites - Systems and methods for scheduling documents for crawling are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining sitemap information for a plurality of websites; and analyzing the sitemap information to identify a website, in the plurality of websites. The website has sitemap information that is at least potentially out of date. The method also includes updating the sitemap information for the identified website by downloading updated sitemap information for the identified website; and scheduling documents for crawling in accordance with the updated sitemap information for the identified website. | 08-29-2013 |
20140046925 | MOBILE SITEMAPS - A method of analyzing documents or relationships between documents includes receiving a notification of an available metadata document containing information about one or more network-accessible documents, obtaining a document format indicator associated with the metadata document, selecting a document crawler using the document format indicator, and crawling at least some of the network-accessible documents using the selected document crawler. | 02-13-2014 |
20140163952 | CONVERSION OF INPUT TEXT STRINGS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for transforming text strings. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving input string having a plurality of terms, the input string being in a first form; transforming the input string from the first form to a second form including: applying one or more rules to the input string to identify one or more terms for translation, the one or more identified terms being fewer than the plurality of terms, translating the identified one or more terms to one or more translated terms in the second form, and transliterating the remaining terms of the plurality of terms into transliterated terms in the second form; and concatenating the translated and transliterated terms to form a hybrid output string in the second form. | 06-12-2014 |

20140192056 | DISPLAYING DYNAMIC CONTENT ON A MAP BASED ON USER'S LOCATION AND SCHEDULED TASK - Graphic elements for a computer-implemented mapping system may be displayed based on scheduled task data, routine data, or other data corresponding to an application of a client computing device. The application data may include a location and a scheduled time. A user may request a map for the scheduled task location. If a difference between the request time and the scheduled task time is below a threshold, then the mapping system may display or modify graphic elements for the location that are relevant to the scheduled task. For example, a user may include appointment data for an airline flight in a calendar application of a mobile computing device. If the user requests a map of the departure airport within a short amount of time before the flight, the map may include only relevant graphic elements such as a check in counter, a security checkpoint, and a departure gate. | 07-10-2014 |

20150019625 | PROVIDING INDOOR MAP DATA TO A CLIENT COMPUTING DEVICE - A map data server may provide map data to a client device by generating a description of a geographic area that includes outdoor map features including a multi-story building. The multi-story building includes a “default” floor. The map data server may also provide data to the client device to graphically represent the indoor features of the default floor in the description of the geographic area. The indoor map features may be annotated to allow the client device to selectively activate or deactivate the display of the indoor map features. | 01-15-2015 |
20150020008 | ENABLING QUICK DISPLAY TRANSITIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MAP DATA - A map data server may provide metadata about available indoor map data that accompanies map data for drawing a base map. For example, map data may include vector data for drawing a footprint of a building, and the metadata may include information about the physical properties of the building (e.g., an indication of how many floors the building has and if detailed map data is available for the indicated floors, etc.). A mapping application running on the client can use this metadata to display an interface that allows a user to select floors or otherwise interact with the floor data. Further, the metadata accompanying map data can include a bounding box, or a bounding polygon, for one or more floors. The mapping application can use these bounding shapes to properly reposition the viewport as map data for a new floor is being loaded, for example. | 01-15-2015 |

A portion of skin of the eyelid and underlying tissue is held between the first and second structures and treatment energy is transmitted from the energy source, from the first location away from the eye, through the tissue, toward the second location on the skin of the eyelid, while withholding transmission of treatment energy from the second location on the skin of the eyelid, toward the eye, through the portion of tissue, toward the first location on the skin of the eyelid. Other embodiments are also described. | 11-22-2012 |
