20080288474CROSS-LANGUAGE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for cross-language information retrieval. A source query in a source language is received. The source query is translated into a target query in a target language. One or more target-language resources that satisfy the target query are identified. The identified resources are translated into the source language. Search results corresponding to the translated resources are presented.11-20-2008
20090083243CROSS-LANGUAGE SEARCH - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which a cross-language search can be performed. A search query can be examined to determine whether it is a candidate for cross-language searching. Upon identifying a candidate, the search can be performed using a translated search query associated with the search query. The results of the translated search query can be served to the client device submitting the search query.03-26-2009
20090193003Cross-Language Search - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which a cross-language search can be performed. A search query is received in a first language. A translated search query of the search query is obtained and evaluated to determine whether it is a candidate for cross-language searching. Upon identifying a candidate, a search can be performed using the translated search query to generate search results relevant to the translated search query.07-30-2009
20100286977CONDITIONAL TRANSLATION HEADER FOR TRANSLATION OF WEB DOCUMENTS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for translation of web documents. The original language of document text in the web document is identified. A translation header is displayed with the web document text only if the original language is different from a user's preferred language. The translation header provides the user with an option of translating the document text or portions of the document text to the user's preferred language.11-11-2010

20090004177Combination Treatment with t-PA Variant and Low Molecular Weight Heparin - The invention concerns an improved therapeutic regimen for the treatment of thrombolytic disorders, such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In particular, the present invention concerns the treatment of thrombolytic disorders, e.g., AMI, with a combination of a tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) variant having improved fibrin specificity and extended plasma half-life when compared with wild-type human t-PA and a low molecular weight heparin.01-01-2009
20100070588RELIABILITY FOR INSTANT MESSAGING BASED ON END POINT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS - A reliable IM system is disclosed including an end-to-end mechanism to make sending and receiving IM text messages more reliable. The reliable IM system may include a reliability-enabled client device server device, each including a reliability-enabled messenger component for adding message ID numbers to outgoing IM messages and sending message-specific acknowledgments (ACK) back to a sending client. The reliable IM system may resend a sequenced message N times when the message is identified as missing. The reliability-enabled client and server may be used to communicate with either reliable or non-reliable clients (for example, clients that do not have the reliability-enabled messenger component). An offline storage may be used to accept and store IM messages for offline clients while sending ACKs back for the received messages. Duplicate and lost sequenced messages are handled by deleting duplicate messages and resending lost sequenced messages at the client and/or server to maintain normal IM transactions.03-18-2010
20100196348COMBINATION TREATMENT WITH t-PA VARIANT AND LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HEPARIN - The invention concerns an improved therapeutic regimen for the treatment of thrombolytic disorders, such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In particular, the present invention concerns the treatment of thrombolytic disorders, e.g., AMI, with a combination of a tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) variant having improved fibrin specificity and extended plasma half-life when compared with wild-type human t-PA and a low molecular weight heparin.08-05-2010

20090066639VISUAL RESPONSES TO A PHYSICAL INPUT IN A MEDIA APPLICATION - A media application for providing outputs (e.g., audio outputs) in response to inputs received from an input device is provided. The media application may connect input mechanisms of an input device with parameters of channel strips (e.g., which may define output sounds) using an intermediate screen object. The media application may first assign an input mechanism to a screen object, and separately map a screen object to a channel strip parameter. The media application may map a screen object to several channel strips simultaneously such that, based on the value of the screen object, the volume of each of the several channel strips changes. The media application may provide a graphical representation of available channel strips using layers. As the media application accesses a channel strip, the appearance of the portion of the layer associated with the channel strip may change. The media application may also allow the patches, which may include several channel strips, to survive after a new patch is selected instead.03-12-2009

20090150690PERSONAL COMPUTING DEVICE HAVING SINGLE-CELL BATTERY - The present invention features a personal computing device that may be powered by a single battery having a single lithium-ion cell or by a plurality of lithium-ion cells connected in parallel. The personal computing device may provide computing power comparable to that of conventional laptop computers and execute an operating system and application software comparable to that executed by conventional laptop computers. Furthermore, the battery's time between charging, when used to power the personal computing device, may be similar to the time between charging of a multi-cell battery when used to power a conventional laptop computer.06-11-2009
20090207195SCREEN CONDENSATION WITH HETEROGENEOUS DISPLAY RESOLUTION - In one embodiment, a video signal is displayed on a display screen in two or more resolutions. The video signal may be of a first resolution and the display screen may be set to a second resolution. In one embodiment, the video signal resolution is of a size that is greater than the size of the display screen resolution. The method includes displaying a first portion of the video signal in a first resolution in a first region of the display. A second portion of the video signal is then displayed in a second resolution in a second region of the display. The second resolution is a resolution that displays at least a portion of the video signal that would be off screen if the video signal is displayed in the first resolution. Accordingly, more of the signal can be displayed on the screen.08-20-2009
20090303174CONTROL OF DUAL FUNCTION INPUT AREA - An apparatus is provided that may be a portable device, such as a portable personal computer, cellular phone, or other computing device. The apparatus includes an input device. The input device may include a first input area and a second input area. The first and second input areas may occupy the same area of the computing device, such as the second input area may be underneath the first input area. A controller is provided that includes a first control area and a second control area. The first and second control areas may also occupy the same area where second control area may be underneath first control area. In one embodiment, first control area may be responsive to a mechanical input and a second control may be responsive to a non-mechanical input. The second control area is configured to enable and disable the second input area of the input device.12-10-2009
20090303180COMPUTER DISPLAY CONTROL USING MULTIPLE INPUT DEVICES WITH DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF INPUT FUNCTIONS - In one embodiment, a computing device for providing navigation on a display is provided. The computing device includes a first input device that provides navigation on the display screen in two dimensions. For example, the first input device may be a trackstick or track ball that can be mechanically actuated by a user. When actuated, the first input device may cause a pointing device to move in two dimensions, such as in the X-Y directions. Also, a second input device is provided that is configured to provide navigation on the display screen in one dimension. For example, the second input device may be a scrollwheel that provides movement in the vertical or horizontal direction. The second input device is situated around the first input device and is configured to be physically turned around the first input device.12-10-2009
