A survey document is provided on a server, for delivery to a client on a network, having questions and potential answers in a format defining branches of the questions. Programming instructions are also provided on the server for delivery to the client on the network. The instructions are for causing the client to render questions on a user interface from the survey document. The questions initially rendered include a first one of the questions. The instructions are also for causing the client to branch to and render on the user interface second or third ones of the questions responsive to the survey document and an answer received for the first question.

The creator or author of the Web document or page at the Web site source of the page is enabled to prioritize all of the hyperlinks to other Web documents embedded in the Web page in order to optimize the needs such as the business needs of the host. The prioritization is applied in the determination of the order in which the Web documents linked to the activated embedded hyperlinks in the Web document are to be accessed. The system is implemented through the inclusion of a hypertext markup language tag associated with each of the prioritized hyperlinks indicative of the priority level of the associated hyperlink. The implementation for designating a priority level for each of the hyperlinks may be enabled to change any previously designated priority levels for said hyperlinks. Such changes in any previously designated priority levels could be made applicable to the priority levels in previously distributed copies of said Web document.

A method and apparatus for discovering services in a service registry. When an enterprise service bus receives a service request, the enterprise service bus determines whether the service name in the request exists in a service registry. If not, the enterprise service bus parses the service name into constituent words, obtains synonyms for each constituent word, and constructs new service names using the synonyms in the same word order as the constituent words in the service name. The enterprise service bus determines whether the constructed service names exist in the registry. If so, the enterprise service bus obtains an address of a service provider application associated with the constructed service name in the registry and sends a request for the service matching the constructed service name to the service provider application.

The user requesting the search is enabled to analyze the list of excessive hits in a manner organized through a Web content manager on the user's display screen, and reduce the excessive hits through the elimination of extraneous domains or subdomains captured by the search.An implementation for reducing an excessive number of hits in a search result received at one of the receiving display stations on the Web comprising conventional means for displaying at said receiving display station, Web documents received from sources on the Web, and means for conducting keyword searches on the Web. There are means associated with the receiving display stations for displaying the number of Web documents hit by said keyword searches, together with means, responsive to an excessive number of Web document hits, for enabling a user to display a hierarchical level of the domains of the Web documents hit by said searches with a count of the number of hits for each domain, and means enabling the user to interactively eliminate selected domains to thereby reduce the excess number of hits in said search.

A user is provided with a simple inexpensive and interactively intuitive implementation of selectively turning spam off his receiving E-mail terminal. An E-mail distribution system for eliminating nuisance electronic mail, e.g. spam, from mail sent to said receiving terminals from sending locations remote from such terminals. Respective conventional addresses are assigned to each of the receiving terminals and there is a conventional implementation for addressing mail respectively to each of these receiving terminals. An implementation respectively at each of the receiving terminals enables the user to modify the receiving terminal address to include the designation of a server intermediate the sending location and apparatus at the intermediate server identifies and eliminates nuisance electronic mail. A routing function routes to the intermediate server, electronic mail addressed to the receiving terminal with the modified address.

An apparatus, method, and system for determining the shape of a three dimensional object. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes an array of sensors and elastic connections between the sensors within the array. When placed over a three dimensional object, the array of sensors deforms to conform to the surface topology of the three dimensional object. The sensors are connected to a data processor in which the data from the sensors is taken to construct a three-dimensional representation of the actual physical three dimensional object.

A method, system, apparatus and computer program product are disclosed for screening electronic messages, wherein a sentry determines whether electronic messages to a receiver include respective passes from the receiver. Responsive to such a message having a pass, the receiver is notified about the message. Responsive to the message not having a pass, a notice for the sender is generated about a pass for the message. Ultimately the pass is generated and sent, on behalf of the designated receiver of the message, to the sender. Unless the sender of the electronic message receives the pass which was returned to the sender by a screening agent for the designated receiver, and the sender returns the pass to the receiver, then the screening agent discards the message and the receiver will not ever be burdened with the message. Thus, if the sender's message has an invalid electronic message reply address, as is frequently the case for mass marketing senders, the sender will never receive the pass, and the receiver's screening agent will discard the message. Both the pass generation and sender notification may be without regard for the identity of the sender. That is, responsive to every message for which the screening agent has not already generated a pass, the recipient's screening agent automatically generates a pass and sender notification. Therefore, no significant burden is placed on the designated recipient even to merely set up rules for screening messages.

A high performance voice transformation apparatus and method is provided in which voice input is transformed into a symbolic representation of phonemes in the voice input. The symbolic representation is used to retrieve output voice segments of a selected target speaker for use in outputting the voice input in a different voice. In addition, voice input characteristics are extracted from the voice input and are then applied to the output voice segments to thereby provide a more realistic human sounding voice output.

A method and implementing system are provided in which processor registers are divided into sectors and such sectors are individually renamed. In one embodiment, the register file is divided into sectors such that the smallest accessible unit for an instruction set in each register can be uniquely addressed and renamed thereby providing additional effective registers for renaming.

A system and method for compressing state transition data on a computer system is disclosed. The method and system include separating the state transition data into a plurality of segments and separating each of the plurality of segments into a plurality of subsegments. The method and system further include providing a plurality of code words. Each of the plurality of code words corresponds to a unique subsegment of the plurality of unique subsegments. The method and system also include providing a representation of each segment. The representation of each segment includes a portion of the plurality of code words. The portion of the plurality of code words replaces the plurality of subsegments in each of the plurality of segments. Thus, the present invention allows compressed state transition data to be used without full uncompression, allowing a system to be explicitly checked without substantial loss of information and without consuming memory.
