Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for analyzing media material having a layout. A media material analyzer includes a segmenter and an article composer. The segmenter identifies block segments associated with columnar body text in the media material. The article composer determines which of the identified block segments belong to one or more articles in the media material. The article composer can determine whether candidate block segments belong to a same article based on language statistics information, layout transition information, or both language statistics information and layout transition information. A system for searching media material having a layout over a network is also provided.

Abstract: A multi-position sleeping structure includes a sheet material envelope having an opening into a cavity defined therein. An inflatable mattress is received and substantially enclosed within the cavity of the sheet material envelope. A cover portion which, in conjunction with a top surface of the envelope, defines a sleeping area in which a person can lie and be supported by the mattress. The mattress has a plurality of transversely extending hinges that separate the mattress into a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The hinges allow the mattress to be moved between at least a substantially flat sleeping position and a seating position. The sheet material envelope has a retaining pouch on a bottom side thereof that is positioned to receive the first portion of the mattress when in the seating position so as to retain the mattress in the seating position.

Abstract: A wagering game is played with symbol indicia having an order or rank. A player places a first wager to play in an underlying game. The player receives at least or exactly two indicia which are positioned among three possible orientations by the player. There is one indicia each, in any of three indicia positions defining a player's hand. The player places the two indicia, leaving one indicia position unfilled. A third indicia is provided to the player in the unfilled indicia position. The first wager is resolved at least in part based on whether the third indicia forms a sequence of order or ranks among the three indicia provided to the player. There may be a similar dealer hand against which the player hand is compared. Playing cards are preferred indicia.
