20080238921 | Realistic transformation of 3D lighting models - A lighting model specified in light space may be transformed to a 3D scene, which may include numerous lights. When the lighting model is transformed to the 3D scene and is uniformly scaled or near-uniformly scaled, intensity or brightness of light at sample points, corresponding to points in the 3D scene, may be adjusted proportionately for a light source using a value based, at least partly, on a transform matrix. When the lighting model in the light space is scaled to non-uniformly stretch a lit area, the sample points may be transformed to the light space, using an inverse of a transform matrix. Distances from the light source to the transformed sample points in the light space may be used to determine attenuation and range with respect to the light source. | 10-02-2008 |

20090249280 | UPGRADING SIMPLE APPLICATIONS TO FULL SCALE SOLUTIONS - The architecture provides development tools for the occasional developer to build a substantial portion of an application interface for accessing and interacting with actual data. The lack in knowledge of the occasional developer to complete the project is then supplemented by a development service provider such that experienced developers complete the interface and integrate the interface into the application environment so the occasional developer can use the application to access data for which the interface was developed. The architecture provides tools that are understandable for building in a guided way the framework and the user experience for the application, and then passes on the more complex pieces to IT because coding may be needed or a model should be generated that is scalable for a large number of users, for example. IT then completes the development process and integrates the final solution into the application environment. | 10-01-2009 |

Query parameters are received from a user interface for defining a query for searching a number of content sources located on multiple, disparate content servers. A native search is executed on each of the content servers based on the received query parameters, and query statistics and other data regarding content items in the content sources matching the query parameters are received. The query statistics are aggregated across the content servers and presented in the user interface. The presentation of the query statistics may be broken out by each content source, by each query phrase segmented from the query, and the like. In addition, a preview of a number of content items matching the query parameters is presented based on the data received. | 05-16-2013 |

A trim job may be run periodically that removes content items from the preservation storage area that do not match the filter specification. | 11-07-2013 |
20140372525 | SMART NOTIFICATIONS USING A CALENDAR - Notifications are delivered to a user based in part on a user's current context. The notifications may be based on personal information (e.g. calendar events, tasks, alerts, and the like) as well as a context of a user. The notifications may be delivered using different types of notifications. The type of notification selected may be based on the current context of the user. Notifications may also be sent to other users (e.g. that are part of a trusted group) in response to a change in state of the event (e.g. the task completed). Instead of a user receiving notifications at preset times, notifications are delivered to the user using their current context. A group member may also create a message to another member requesting an action. When a response is made, the requesting group member receives a notification and the other group members may also receive notifications. | 12-18-2014 |
