    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for the online convex optimization problem, in which the decision maker has knowledge of the all past states and resulting cost functions for his previous choices and attempts to make a new choice that results in minimum regret. The method does not rely upon the structure of the cost function or the characterization of the states and takes advantage of the similarity between successive states to enable the method to converge to a reasonably optimal result.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for operating and managing a re-fueling business. The method includes contracting with a customer to fuel a fuel consuming vehicle for the customer, providing a locking device with a fuel tank of the vehicle, the locking device being unlockable by the re-fueling business and the customer, and transporting a fuel containing structure from the re-fueling business to various locations of the customer's vehicle whenever a fueling of the vehicle is desirable to the business and the customer, the locations being remote of the business, unlocking the locking device of the fuel tank upon arrival at the locations, filling the fuel tank with an amount of fuel from the fuel containing structure upon the transporting of the fuel container to the locations, and re-locking the locking device after filling the fuel tank with the amount of fuel.

    摘要: A novel method is employed for collecting optimizer statistics for optimizing database queries by gathering feedback from the query execution engine about the observed cardinality of predicates and constructing and maintaining multidimensional histograms. This makes use of the correlation between data columns without employing an inefficient data scan. The maximum entropy principle is used to approximate the true data distribution by a histogram distribution that is as “simple” as possible while being consistent with the observed predicate cardinalities. Changes in the underlying data are readily adapted to, automatically detecting and eliminating inconsistent feedback information in an efficient manner. The size of the histogram is controlled by retaining only the most “important” feedback.

    摘要: Methods are provided for maximizing the throughput of a computer system in the presence of one or more power constraints. Throughput is maximized by repeatedly or continuously optimizing task scheduling and assignment for each of a plurality of components of a computer system. The components include a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) each operating at a corresponding operating frequency. The components also include a plurality of disk drives. The corresponding operating frequencies of one or more CPUs of the plurality of CPUs are adjusted to maximize computer system throughput under one or more power constraints. Optimizing task scheduling and assignment, as well as adjusting the corresponding operating frequencies of one or more CPUs, are performed by solving a mathematical optimization problem using a first methodology over a first time interval and a second methodology over a second time interval longer than the first time interval. The first methodology comprises a short term heuristic solver for adapting to computer system changes that occur on a short time scale, and the second methodology comprises a long term solver having greater accuracy and greater computational complexity than the first methodology.

    摘要: A system, method and search engine for searching images for data contained therein. Training images are provided and image attributes are extracted from the training images. Attributes extracted from training images include image features characteristic of a particular numerically generated image type, such as horizontal lines, vertical lines, percentage white area, circular arcs and text. Then, the training images are classified according to extracted attributes and a particular classifier is selected for each group of training images. Classifiers can include classification trees, discriminant functions, regression trees, support vector machines, neural nets and hidden Markov models. Available images are collected from remotely connected computers, e.g., over the Internet. Collected images are indexed and provided for interrogation by users. As a user enters queries, indexed images are identified and returned to the user. The user may provide additional data as supplemental data to the extracted image data. A chart, representative of the supplemented data, may be generated and provided to the user in response to a particular query.

    摘要: A system, method and program product for computer program development. A new computer program to be developed is outlined and the outline organized to identify required modules. Required modules are provided to the system, which categorizes them and posts a list of required modules with corresponding requirements on, for example, a dedicated web site. Module requirements may include module specifications, a corresponding price and a deadline. Software developers intending to participate may provide an intention to submit. If fewer than two developers intend to submit module candidates for one or more required modules, the computer program outline may be reorganized to encourage more participants. For each required module where at least two module candidates are received, the candidates are tested for compliance with corresponding module requirements. A module candidate is selected for each required module for inclusion as a module included in the software package and payment is transferred to developers of the selected module candidates. The selected module, candidates may be included in the computer program and the computer program may be tested.

    摘要: A system and method enhance a buyer's performance by gathering information, presenting to sellers sophisticated buyers who do not pay more than the minimum and indicating to sellers when they are competitive, influencing them to lower prices. The system operates through a web site and creates a major web portal where a consumer obtains advice about prices of just about anything and initiates transactions using various services provided by the system. Fictitious user names are generated and used by the system to work with different sellers to generate and store specific quotes. This information is later used to purchase goods on behalf of buyers who do not want to reveal their identities. I addition, the system can also uncover hidden fee structures associated with sellers and businesses.
