| 20110060736 | Query Revision Using Known Highly-Ranked Queries - An information retrieval system includes a query revision architecture providing one or more query revisers, each of which implements a query revision strategy. A query rank reviser suggests known highly-ranked queries as revisions to a first query by initially assigning a rank to all queries, and identifying a set of known highly-ranked queries (KHRQ). Queries with a strong probability of being revised to a KHRQ are identified as nearby queries (NQ). Alternative queries that are KHRQs are provided as candidate revisions for a given query. For alternative queries that are NQs, the corresponding known highly-ranked queries are provided as candidate revisions. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20090196303 | SWITCH FABRIC WITH MEMORY MANAGEMENT UNIT FOR IMPROVED FLOW CONTROL - A method for controlling a flow of packet data in a memory management unit of a network switch fabric is disclosed. A first portion of a data packet is received at a port on an ingress bus ring of the network switch fabric. A class of service for the data packet is determined based on the first portion and the portion is stored in a packer RAM of the port based on the class of service. Subsequent portions of the data packet are stored in the packer RAM. Once the predetermined number of portions have been received, the predetermined number of portions is sent to a packet pool RAM. A reference pointer to a first predetermined number of portions is sent to a transaction queue once an end of packet is detected and an egress scheduler detects a presence of a ready packet in the transaction queue and notifies an unpacker of the ready packet. The unpacker puts the ready packet into a FIFO and the ready packet is sent to an ingress/egress module. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20110125754 | Reverse Dynamic Filter-Linked Pages System And Method - Systems and methods for linking to attribute or category pages from a product landing page are described. The landing pages are dynamic filter linked pages (DFLL). Reverse DFLL links specifications in the product landing page back to a result set for an attribute or category using the links. An index builder (one for each category) analyzes the product record data to identify the entire set of values for a category. The index builder then generates category metadata based on this analysis that identifies all of the values within an attribute and/or category. When a request for a particular page is received by the web application, the reverse DFLL links are created for that product page (i.e., the links are created in real time). The specification values for the requested product are compared to the category metadata. If a match is identified, a link is created for that specification in the product landing page that links back to the attribute or category. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100162362 | Enterprise Management of Public Instant Message Communications - Techniques are described that enable enterprise management of public instant message (IM) communications. When a user requests a connection with a public IM service, the connection request is redirected to a gateway server that is associated with a domain specified in the user's user ID. The gateway server acts as a pass through server between the user's IM client application and the public IM service. The gateway server may be configured to log IM communications in which the user participates. The gateway server may also be configured to control whether or not the user is able to participate in point-to-point communications through the user's IM client application. An enterprise routing server may also be implemented in a geo-distributed enterprise to route a redirected public IM connection request to an enterprise IM gateway server based on a geographic location associated with the user. | 06-24-2010 |
