Abstract:
To integrate a parent application and a child application, the parent application receives events through a user interface. If the events are to be processed by the child application, they are propagated to the child application. The child application generates content data based on the received events, writes the content data into a storage module, and then notifies the parent application. The parent application reads out the content data written in the storage module.
Abstract:
An anti-spam tool works with a web browser to detect spam webpages locally on a client machine. The anti-spam tool can be implemented either as a plug-in module or an integral part of the browser, and manifested as a toolbar. The tool can perform an anti-spam action whenever a webpage is accessed through the browser, and does not require direct involvement of a search engine. A spam detection module installed on the computing device determines whether a webpage being accessed or whether a link contained in the webpage being accessed is spam, by comparing the URL of the webpage or the link with a spam list. The spam list can be downloaded from a remote search engine server, stored locally and updated from time to time. A two-level indexing technique is also introduced to improve the efficiency of the anti-spam tool's use of the spam list.
Abstract:
Ranking documents based on a series of web graphs collected over time is provided. A ranking system provides multiple transition probability distributions representing different snapshots or times. Each transition probability distribution represents a probability of transitioning from one document to another document within a collection of documents using a link of the document. The ranking system determines a stationary probability distribution for each snapshot based on the transition probability distributions for that snapshot and the stationary probability distribution of the previous snapshot. The stationary probability distributions represent a ranking of the documents over time.
Abstract:
A method and system for high-order co-clustering of objects of heterogeneous types using multiple bipartite graphs is provided. A clustering system represents relationships between objects of a first type and objects of a third type as a first bipartite graph and relationships between objects of a second type and objects of the third type as a second bipartite graph. The clustering system defines an objective function that specifies an objective of the clustering process that combines an objective for the first bipartite graph and an objective for the second bipartite graph. The clustering system solves the objective function and then applies a clustering algorithm such as the K-means algorithm to the solution to identify the clusters of heterogeneous objects.
Abstract:
A method and system for determining temporal importance of documents having links between documents based on a temporal analysis of the links is provided. A temporal ranking system collects link information or snapshots indicating the links between documents at various snapshot times. The temporal ranking system calculates a current temporal importance of a document by factoring in the current importance of the document derived from the current snapshot (i.e., with the latest snapshot time) and the historical importance of the document derived from the past snapshots. To calculate the current temporal importance of a web page, the temporal ranking system aggregates the importance of the web page for each snapshot.

Abstract:
The invention provides a photochromic dye of a structure containing a common structure of spirooxazine series compounds and three substituents. The photochromic dye according to the invention exhibits characteristics of a high heat stability, good light fatigue resistance, high sensitivity, extremely degradation rate and the like. This photochromic dye can be formulated with suitable organic solvents and used as photochromic functional colorants under UV light excitation. Further, this photochromic dye can be synthesized and purified in simple steps with cheap raw materials and hence at a greatly lowered production cost.
