Abstract: According to the present invention, physical health indicators computed for a particular user are received in a common transmittable data format at a computer system, wherein each of the physical health indicators is output by an electronic health measurement device from among multiple diverse electronic health measurement devices monitoring the physical health of the particular user. Each of the physical health indicators is analyzed at the computer system in view of acceptable health levels retrieved at the computer system from a personal storage device proffered by the particular user. Output of an indicator of acceptability of the physical health indicators for the particular user is controlled from the computer system, in response to the analysis of each of the physical health indicators, such that a computer system monitors the physical health of an individual in view of acceptable health levels retrieved from the personal storage device.

Abstract: A bookmark set is created from search results. First, a search request from a client browser is sent for pages in a distributed database which satisfy a search condition. A set of pages which satisfy the search condition are returned. In the page which presents the search results, each page is associated with a user input sensitive selection means, such as a checkbox. Responsive to user input, i.e. selection of certain pages, a bookmark set comprised of a path to selected pages is created. The created bookmark set is served as a unit to the client browser.

Abstract: Concurrently displaying a set of pages in a distributed database with a minimum of user interaction is disclosed. A set of bookmarked web pages in a browser interface are concurrently displaying a list of bookmarks in the interface, each bookmark associated with a respective one of the web pages. At least a subset of the web pages are displayed in a cascade of windows, each web page assigned to a respective window in the cascade in the order in which the associated bookmark is listed in the list of bookmarks. Each window in the cascade is arranged so that a title bar is visible and the alphanumeric content of the title bar can be easily related to an entry in the bookmark list.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system, method, and computer-readable medium for providing a highly efficient locking mechanism for an object's shared data. The locking mechanism is bound to an object during program execution (i.e. during run-time) when synchronization is first requested for the object's shared data. Thus, there are no changes to the actual code, either source code or binary code, which defines the object. A locking mechanism is bound to an object by defining a memory area within the object's header, which either contains the locking mechanism or a pointer to a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism remains bound to the object for the life of the object. Efficiency is gained by limiting the use of operating system semaphores (i.e. kernel semaphores). Operating system semaphores are not used unless blocking (i.e. contention) occurs. Rather, the locking mechanism bound to the object is used during non-blocking situations. Additional efficiency is gained by not assigning or initializing an object's locking mechanism until the first synchronization request is received for the object's shared data. In one embodiment of the present invention, the object's header memory area contains the actual locking mechanism. In another embodiment of the present invention, the object's header memory area contains a pointer or index to a locking mechanism.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于为对象的共享数据提供高效锁定机制的系统，方法和计算机可读介质。 当对对象的共享数据进行首次请求同步时，锁定机制在程序执行期间（即在运行期间）被绑定到一个对象。 因此，定义对象的实际代码（源代码或二进制代码）没有任何变化。 锁定机制通过定义对象头部中的内存区域来绑定到对象，该内存区域包含锁定机制或指向锁定机制的指针。 锁定机构在对象的使用寿命期间保持绑定到对象。 通过限制操作系统信号量（即内核信号量）的使用来获得效率。 除非发生阻塞（即争用），否则不使用操作系统信号量。 相反，在非阻塞情况下使用绑定到对象的锁定机制。 直到收到对象的共享数据的第一个同步请求为止，才能分配或初始化对象的锁定机制，从而获得额外的效率。 在本发明的一个实施例中，对象的头部存储区域包含实际的锁定机构。 在本发明的另一个实施例中，对象的头部存储器区域包含指向锁定机构的指针或索引。

Abstract: A method for presenting content from the page in a distributed database. In a preferred embodiment, a server receives a request from a client for a page from the database wherein the page has a plurality of links to linked pages in the database. The server retrieves the page and generates a set of thumbnails of the linked pages in the database. The server then sends the page and the set of thumbnails to the client.

Abstract: A method, system, and program for specifying monitored user participation in a messaging session is provided. A time status for a messaging system element is determined. The time status corresponds to a type of participation by at least one user in a messaging session. An output attribute is assigned to the messaging system element according to the time status, such that output of the messaging system element is specified to depict time status for the messaging session. A client messaging system, receiving the messaging system element with the output attribute, graphically displays the messaging system element in order to graphically reflect user participation in a messaging session.

Abstract: A method, system and program for selectively adjusting transparency of windows within a user interface are provided. An n-level is determined within a z-order of at least one displayable object from among multiple displayable objects distributed within the z-order. A transparency level is selectively adjusted of the at least one displayable object within a user interface positioned at the n-level within the z-order, such that the transparency level of the at least one displayable object is selectively adjusted without adjusting the z-order of the displayable objects.
