20110265616 | ULTRA-PURE, SINGLE-CRYSTAL SIC CUTTING TOOL FOR ULTRA-PRECISION MACHINING - Systems and methods that use a single-crystal boule SiC sharpened into a cutting tool for ultra-precision machining of ferrous alloys are disclosed. Conventional ultra-precision machining uses single-crystal natural diamond. Despite the exceptional mechanical properties of diamond, its chemical properties have inhibited the extension of ultra-precision machining to iron-containing (ferrous) alloys. A single-crystal SiC cutting tool can be used to cut many materials for which diamond cutting tools are conventionally used. Additionally, a single-crystal SiC cutting tool can be used to cut materials for which diamond cutting tools are inappropriate, such as ferrous metals or nickel. | 11-03-2011 |

20140188747 | DETERMINING SHIPPING COSTS USING A LOGISTICS TABLE - Example methods and systems to determine shipping costs using a logistics table are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems access a base cost associated with shipping an item to a destination at a base level (e.g., at a standard shipping method), select one or more destinations to which to ship the item, and determine shipping costs for every selected destination by inputting the base cost into logistics table. The systems and methods may also display an indication of the determined costs via a user interface, such as via a displayed map or other graphics that present shipping cost information along with destination information. | 07-03-2014 |

20100125614 | SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR FUNCTIONALLY INTERPOLATED INCREASING SEQUENCE ENCODING - Systems and processes for compressing a plurality of integers are provided. The plurality of integers is accessed. Each integer in the plurality of integers references an address in a record in a plurality of records stored in computer readable memory. The plurality of plurality of integers is fit to a fitting function having a plurality of coefficients thereby establishing a value for each coefficient. A lookup table is built. The table comprises, for each of the integers, other than the first and last integer, a residual that remains when a value of the fitting function is removed from the value of the integer. A representation of the fitting function, the value for each of the one or more coefficients, and the lookup table, are stored, thereby compressing the plurality of integers. | 05-20-2010 |
20140188664 | SURFACING ITEMS THAT SATISFY PURCHASING CONSTRAINTS - Methods and systems to surface, display and/or otherwise present items for sale that satisfy purchasing constraints are described In some example embodiments, the methods and systems access information associated with a purchasing constraint to buy items via an online retail site, determine and/or select items that satisfy the purchasing constraint, such as via information contained by a logistics table, and surface the identified items based on the determination. For example, the methods and systems ma display items available for purchase that satisfy the purchasing constraint via listing of items that satisfy a search query, among other things. | 07-03-2014 |

20090157469 | System and Method for Management of Multi-Session, Sequential, Synchronized Electronic Conferencing - A method, apparatus and computer program product for management of multi-session, sequential, synchronized electronic conferencing is presented. A schedule of meetings is defined for each of a plurality of users. Each user logs in to a website for taking part in the meetings according to the pre-defined or dynamically defined schedule. Each user also connects to a server (phone or video) for taking part in the meetings according to the schedule. Each user is placed into a holding area until a scheduled meeting is about to take place. A user is placed into a private conference room with at least one other user in accordance with the schedule of meetings, wherein each user can speak with another user in a same meeting and view details regarding the other user in the same meeting via the website. | 06-18-2009 |

20130031564 | Asynchronously Refreshing, Networked Application with Single-Threaded User Interface - An invention is disclosed for updating a networked, single-threaded application's data model without blocking the application's entire user interface. In embodiments of the invention, a client executes a networked application with a single-threaded user interface that communicates with a server to refresh its data model. The client sends a message to the server that requests a refresh of the data model. Before the data model has been refreshed, the client receives local user input to perform an action on the data model. The client sends a message to the server to cancel the refresh. When the client receives an acknowledgement from the server that the refresh has been cancelled, the client performs the action. After performing the action, the client sends a second message to the server that requests a refresh of the data model, and then refreshes the data model upon receiving the refreshed data model from the server. | 01-31-2013 |

20130328923 | DIALOG NOTIFICATION - A user interface in which a notification is to be displayed in the context of a dialog already being displayed over a primary application work area. Rather than pop up an additional dialog to show the notification, the notification is displayed adjacent the existing dialog. If the notification is a confirmation request, the display of the confirmation request disables an advancement control in the dialog that would otherwise enable the user to advance to the next step in the dialog, or to close the dialog. | 12-12-2013 |
20130332865 | ACTIVITY INITIATION AND NOTIFICATION USER INTERFACE - A user interface that includes an activity initiation area that includes an activity initiation control that may be interacted with in order to initiate respective activities, and a notification area in which one or more notifications related to the activity may be displayed. The notification area is spatially related to the activity initiation control in a fixed manner for multiple activities. The activity initiation area may appear along a lower boundary of the display much as a partially pulled out drawer as viewed from above. The notification area may also appear along the lower boundary of the display, but extend further vertically, much as a fully pulled out drawer as viewed from above. This helps give a contextual understanding of the subject matter of the notifications in relation to the activities that have been, or may be, initiated from the activity initiation area. | 12-12-2013 |
