摘要:
A method and system for providing information related to content accessed by a user of an electronic device is provided. An implementation involves determining content of interest to the user for access via an electronic device; obtaining metadata for said content; prefetching information related to said metadata; upon detecting availability of further metadata for said content, pre-fetching additional information related to said further metadata; and upon access to the content by the user via the electronic device, selectively providing the prefetched information to the user.
摘要:
A framework identifies data that a user would likely be interested to access, then extracts and stores such data for the user to efficiently use when desired. Thereby, the framework allows the user to access several types of information efficiently, without the user having to request the information.

A system implementing a method for providing sponsored information on an electronic device determines information of interest to the user as relevant information, accesses sponsored information, and provides sponsored information based on said relevant information.
摘要:
A method and a system for searching for information using an electronic device, such as a consumer electronic device, that can be connected to a network. Such searching for information involves determining a context for a search for information, forming a search query based on the context of search for information, and performing a contextual search based on the search query. Performing the contextual search further includes performing a query refinement.
摘要:
A configurable system brings Internet services, designed for PCs, to consumer electronics (CE) devices, and allows using external services such as Internet Services on CE devices. This reduces the need for input devices such as keyboards and mice, thereby making the configurable system suitable for CE devices. The configurable system relies on the structure of HTML/XML embedded in a Web page for information extraction by scrapping. Since cosmetic changes made to the Web site alter the embedded HTML/XML, the configurable system is updated whenever the Web site changes.
摘要:
A system and method in which network packets sharing a common destination are bundled into one or more larger packets. In one embodiment, an originating server, gateway, or other network device recognizes the presence of multiple, small IP packets having a common IP address. The network device according to the present invention is configured to concatenate or bundle two or more such small packets. The bundled packet as a whole is then given a new header, the bundle header, that includes the network destination address and information that informs the receiving protocol processing device that the packet is a bundled packet. The receiving device can then strip off the bundle header and process the component packets individually according to an existing protocol.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a compound material wafer. The technique includes forming a weakened zone in a source substrate, attaching the source substrate to a handle substrate to form a source-handle assembly, and thermally annealing the source-handle assembly to further weaken the weakened zone. The method also includes holding the assembly at a holding temperature, and detaching the source substrate from the assembly at the weakened zone at the holding temperature. The holding temperature is greater than room temperature but does not promote further weakening of the weakened zone.

摘要:
A process for separating hydrocarbon gases of low boiling point, particularly methane, ethane and ethylene, from nitrogen. The process is performed using a membrane made from a super-glassy material. The gases to be separated are mixed with a condensable gas, such as a C.sub.3+ hydrocarbon. In the presence of the condensable gas, improved selectivity for the low-boiling-point hydrocarbon gas over nitrogen is achieved.
