20100169302 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR GROUPING DATABASE LEVEL OBJECT ACCESS COUNTS PER PROCESSING MODULE IN A PARALLEL PROCESSING SYSTEM - A system, method, and computer-readable medium for grouping of database object access counts per processing module in a parallel processing system are provided. Each processing module manages an intermediate cache allocated thereto that stores database object access counts local to the respective processing module. The processing modules are configured in a hierarchical configuration and processing modules at the lowest level of the configuration forward their respective intermediate cache to a processing module configured as a parent to the respective processing module. On receipt of intermediate cache(s) from lower level processing modules, a processing module merges the received intermediate caches with the intermediate cache allocated to the processing module. The process is iteratively repeated until a root processing module receives the intermediate caches from processing modules configured as child nodes thereto. The root processing module merges the received intermediate cache(s) with the root processing module's intermediate cache thereby generating a final cache. An objects access count data structure is then generated by the root processing module. The object access count data structure of the final cache includes data blocks of object access counts where each data block is associated with a particular access module processor (AMP). The data blocks may then be forwarded to the associated AMPs. | 07-01-2010 |

20140317289 | DYNAMICALLY AFFINITIZING USERS TO A VERSION OF A WEBSITE - Systems and methods for providing user's access to a particular version of an electronic resource (e.g., a website, web resource or the like) where versions of such electronic resources are stored across a set of servers are disclosed. In one embodiment, user's requests may be received—either requesting a particular version or as an unversioned request. A version control module (for example, a load balancer) may receive these requests and assign the user's request to a first server according to different metrics, e.g., regarding version control rules and/or effective load balancing considerations. If the initial server assigned is not able to handle the user's request, the user's request may be proxied to another server, according to different metrics. If there is no server that may handle the user's request (after a certain number of proxied requests), the request may be returned to the user as not handled. | 10-23-2014 |

20080215368 | STANDING ORDER DATABASE SEARCH SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERNET AND INTRANET APPLICATION - An internet and/or intranet based database search system and method for conducting searches of highly confidential records such as individual patient medical records and to automate the process of securing required approvals to make such records available to a properly authorized and authenticated requesting party. The system's central premise is that the patient has a fundamental right to the confidentiality of their personal medical records and should control that right through specific, informed consent each time that a party requests to receive them. It reinforces the widely held conception of privacy in general as well as of the sanctity of the doctor/patient relationship by granting the doctor the right, subject to the patient's express permission, to initiate a search request. At the same time, it provides an expedited and cost-efficient means for transfer of such records as demanded by many healthcare reform proposals and gives the repositories where these records are held the right to stipulate the specific terms and conditions that must be fulfilled before they will release documents entrusted to their care, thereby substantially reducing the risk of litigation alleging breaches of patient confidentiality. And it carries out all of these legitimate interests in a way that is fast, simple to use and easy to audit. The system optionally includes a billing mechanism to pay for any added cost associated with providing this additional protection; and in its preferred embodiment, is applicable to both digital as well as non-digital records. | 09-04-2008 |

In one aspect, the enhanced toolbar has a bounded perimeter and comprises a plurality of icons visibly displayed on a display of a computing device. Each icon occupies a first space within the bounded perimeter of the toolbar. Upon a selection of a first icon in the plurality of icons by a user, the first space associated with the first icon expands horizontally along a longitudinal axis of the toolbar to display information in a second bounded space within the perimeter. The information is not visible absent the expansion. | 06-17-2010 |
20150319506 | DISPLAYING DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A PROGRAM BASED ON AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION - In one approach, a controller computer performs a pre-processing phase involves applying automatic facial recognition, audio recognition, and/or object recognition to frames or static images of a media item to identify actors, music, locations, vehicles, and props or other items that are depicted in the program. The recognized data is used as the basis of queries to one or more data sources to obtain descriptive metadata about people, items, and places that have been recognized in the program. The resulting metadata is stored in a database in association with time point values indicating when the recognized things appeared in the particular program. Thereafter, when an end user plays the same program using a first-screen device, the stored metadata is downloaded to a second-screen device of the end user. When playback reaches the same time point values on the first-screen device, one or more windows, panels or other displays are formed on the second-screen device to display the metadata associated with those time point values. | 11-05-2015 |
