Abstract:
Systems and methods for performing task by entering a simple code. Combination of a unique marker and a simple code is arranged to represent a task, such as logging on a website or making a phone call. Marker info is arranged to be acquired automatically or through verbal input. Distinctive marker info may include location, time, image, object, entity, or combination. A simple code may include a one-digit, two-digit, or three-digit number. A user only needs to key in a simple code to execute a task.

Abstract:
A process of making an agglomerated particle cloud network coated fiber bundle containing forming a bundle of fibers, coating the bundle of fibers with a nanoparticle solution, and drying the solvent from the coated bundle of fibers at a temperature above room temperature forming an agglomerated particle cloud network coated fiber bundle comprising a plurality of agglomerated nanoparticles. The agglomerated nanoparticles are located in at least a portion of the void space in the bundle of fibers and form bridges between at least a portion of the adjacent fibers. Between about 10 and 100% by number of fibers contain bridges to one or more adjacent fibers within the agglomerated particle cloud network coated fiber bundle. The agglomerated nanoparticles form between about 1 and 60% of the effective cross-sectional area of the agglomerated particle cloud network coated fiber bundle.

Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer-readable storage medium for determining a crawling schedule. In an aspect, a method includes obtaining crawl history data for a Web site having Web pages, determining a status of the Web pages, determining a total quantity of Web pages that have a status of deleted, calculating a probability that another Web page of the Web site will be removed based on the total quantity, and storing data associating the calculated probability with the Web site. The method can further include determining, for a plurality of sets of the previous time periods, a respective crawl penalty as a combination of a penalty for crawling the Web site and a penalty for showing a deleted Web page based on the calculated probability, and determining a re-crawl schedule based on the crawl penalties.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums are provided to automatically identifying a classified website. A website is determined to be a candidate site based on a set of heuristics. From among pages constituting the candidate site one or more pages are determined to be listing page candidates and one or more pages are determined to be detail page candidates. Then a listing page score is determined using a listing page classifier. Similarly, a detail page score is determined using a detail page classifier. The listing page and detail page scores each indicate the likelihood that the pages are part of a classified website. A candidate site score is determined based in part on a combination of the listing page score and the detail page scores. Then when the candidate site score is above a threshold the candidate site is determined to be a classified website.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a concrete structure used for bank protection and scour prevention of river bank and coast. Its construct is a hollow circular truncated cone and concrete flat plates are plugged on the hollow circular truncated cone. By tearing, dispersing and stirring up water flow, the energy of local water flow is dissipated, and the scouring strength of the water flow is weakened, achieving the aim of scour prevention and bank protection. It has good mechanical property, not easy to be destroyed, has good stability in water and big overhead rate, and can save materials. Compared to previous various structures for scour prevention, the present invention has better effects of energy dissipation and scour prevention. It not only can be used in bank protection and scour prevention, but also can be used for supplementary energy dissipation when plugging and closure.
