摘要： Techniques are described for controlling the climate in a data center. Using the input of an administrator, multiple desired attributes of a data center (e.g., temperature, energy consumption, costs, or system performance) may be balanced using a utility function that maximizes the utility of the computing systems in the data center according to the administrator's preferences. Additionally, a cooling model is generated that represents the affect of a control parameter (e.g., the fan speed of a CRAC) on the desire attributes of the data center. The cooling model may then be substituted into the utility function to replace the desired attributes. Using this new utility function, the control parameters may be varied such that the maximum utility is achieved.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for the dynamic placement, management and monitoring of Internet advertising. A provider of Internet content distributes the Internet content by embedding an advertisement placeholder in the Internet content; and provides the Internet content to an aggregator web site. The aggregator web site presents the Internet content to at least one end user with at least one advertisement in the advertisement placeholder. The advertisement placeholder is processed by a third party agent to automatically share revenue from the at least one advertisement with the provider of the Internet content and a provider of the aggregator web site. The advertisement placeholder can optionally be embedded in the Internet content using one or more templates. The third party agent also evaluates the content and at least one policy of multiple parties to identify at least one advertisement to present in the advertisement placeholder. The advertisement placeholder embodies a three party agreement between the provider of the Internet content, the provider of the aggregator web site and at least one advertiser.

摘要： Documents returned by a search engine may be good keyword matches to the search query terms, but may not historically have been very effective in addressing user needs. Documents which have historically been effective in addressing user needs are said to have high efficacy. Disclosed are methods that try to assess the beginning and ending of user search sessions, assume that documents that are the last document looked at are those with the highest efficacy, and incorporate this notion of efficacy in returning-search results.

摘要翻译： 搜索引擎返回的文档可能与搜索查询术语的关键字匹配很好，但在历史上可能无法非常有效地满足用户需求。 据说历史上有效解决用户需求的文件具有很高的效能。 公开的是试图评估用户搜索会话的开始和结束的方法，假设作为最后一个文档的文档是具有最高效力的文档，并且将这种功效概念并入返回搜索结果中。

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for facilitating coinless transactions by rounding a fractional transaction cost up or down to a whole-unit amount. A fractional transaction cost is rounded up or down to a whole-unit amount based on a generated random number that ensures fairness to both buyers and sellers, over time. If a transaction purchase price is N.C units, where N is any non-negative integer and C is an integer between 0 and 99 indicating the fractional cost between 0 and 0.99, then a buyer will be charged N+1 units with a probability of p equal to C/100 and N units with a probability of 1−p. The random number generation process can ensure that the rounding process does not favor buyers or sellers, for example, by (i) incorporating a buyer-provided offset, or (ii) having the generation of the random number performed or supervised by a trusted third party. The buyer can increase his or her odds of having the final purchase price rounded down by exposing more than just the amount by which the rounded up cost exceeds the fractional cost.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种方法和装置，用于通过将分数交易成本向上或向下舍入到全单位量来促进无触点交易。 随着时间的推移，基于产生的随机数确定买方和卖方的公平性，分数交易成本向上舍入或下调至全单位金额。 如果交易购买价格是NC单位，其中N是任何非负整数，C是0到99之间的整数，表示0到0.99之间的分数成本，那么买方将以n的概率为N + 1单位 等于C / 100和N个单位，概率为1-p。 随机数生成过程可以确保舍入过程不利于买方或卖方，例如，通过（i）结合买方提供的抵消，或（ii）产生由受信任的第三方执行或监督的随机数 派对。 买方可以通过暴露多于四舍五入的成本超过分数成本的金额来增加他或她的最终购买价格下滑的可能性。

摘要： Techniques are provided for discovery and monitoring of an environment using a plurality of robots. A plurality of robots navigate an environment by determining a navigation buffer for each of the robots; and allowing each of the robots to navigate within the environment while maintaining a substantially minimum distance from other robots, wherein the substantially minimum distance corresponds to the navigation buffer, and wherein a size of each of the navigation buffers is reduced over time based on a percentage of the environment that remains to be navigated. The robots can also navigate an environment by obtaining a discretization of the environment to a plurality of discrete regions; and determining a next unvisited discrete region for one of the plurality of robots to explore in the exemplary environment using a breadth-first search. The plurality of discrete regions can be, for example, a plurality of real or virtual tiles.

摘要： Mechanisms are provided for determining the location of computing assets within an organization. These mechanisms determine first location information identifying a location of at least one first physical asset housing in a predetermined physical area of the organization relative to a predetermined coordinate system, and second location information identifying a location of at least one second physical asset housing within the at least one first asset housing. The mechanisms automatically determine third location information identifying a location of at least one computing asset within the at least one second physical asset housing. In addition, the mechanisms generate an asset location map data structure for the organization based on the first, second and third location information. The mechanisms also perform at least one management operation for managing resources of the organization, based on the asset location map data structure for the organization.
