Abstract: A computer system for determining traffic patterns and congestion and using the determined traffic patterns and congestion to determine an appropriate route using a global positioning system and related route map calculator. A vehicle is provided with an onboard computer system adapted to determine travel time of a vehicle in a road segment and calculate a route based on this information. In addition, this information can be distributed to or otherwise shared with other vehicles and similar information can be received from other vehicles to provide a distributed network for generating and sharing experienced traffic patterns. The information can also be used to predict traffic patterns as well.

Abstract: A user interface component and method of using the same navigate across a boundary coupled to a scroll bar display element only after user input to move a user control at least a predetermined distance beyond the boundary is received. A boundary may be defined within a scroll bar display element, or may be defined between a scroll bar display element and another display element (such as another scroll bar display element). By preventing navigation of a boundary until a predetermined distance beyond such boundary has been crossed, inadvertent user input which would otherwise result in accidental navigation of a boundary is disregarded.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for a secondary scroll bar that yields increased granularity in scrolling through a viewable object, such as a document displayed within a window of a graphical user interface of a computer system. Initially, an icon is displayed within the graphical user interface which, when activated by a user, provides this secondary scroll bar. Next, the secondary scroll bar is displayed within the window in response to a selection of the icon by a user, wherein the secondary scroll bar allows a user to scroll through a narrowly defined region of the viewable object, in response to activation of the icon. Delimiter marks are also displayed within a primary scroll bar upon which the secondary scroll bar is dependent, in response to the selection by the user of the secondary scroll bar. The delimiter marks indicate a searchable range of the viewable object by the secondary scroll bar. Thereafter, the user can scroll through the narrowly defined region of the viewable object by utilizing the secondary scroll bar. Additionally, multiple additional scroll bars can be activated by the user to provide increased granularity on multiple levels when scrolling through the viewable object.

Abstract: A censoring browser method and apparatus are provided for internet viewing. A user profile including user selected censoring parameters is stored. Data packet contents are received and compared with the user selected censoring parameters. Responsive to the comparison, the received data packet contents are processed and selectively displayed responsive to the user selected censoring parameters. The user selected censoring parameters includes user selected censored words and word fragments, and user selected categories. Compared word and word fragments matching user selected censored words and word fragments can be removed and selectively replaced with predefined characters or acceptable substitute words. Tallies of weights for user selected categories are accumulated and compared with used selected threshold values. A predefined message can be displayed responsive to an accumulated tally exceeding a user selected threshold value without displaying the received data packet contents.

Abstract: An apparatus and method helps a user to determine parts of an electronic document that are of interest by allowing the user to define preferences for processing an electronic document, and by automatically highlighting one or more portions of the document according to the user preferences. Highlighting includes any way to enhance or alter the appearance of text, including bold, italics, underlining, change in font style, change in font size, change in color, change in background color, etc. The automatic highlighting of portions of the document attract the user's eyes to that portion of the document, which helps the user to discern whether or not the highlighted portion is relevant or interesting. The preferred embodiments also include a document generator that takes an input document and generates therefrom an output document that has one or more highlighted portions that are hard-coded into the document according to the user preferences.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product select a pre-started job from among a plurality of pre-started jobs in which to perform a task in a computer system with a NUMA configuration. An attempt to perform a task is received as a connection. Information associated with the connection is compared to information associated with a plurality of pre-started jobs. In response to comparing the information, it is determined either that a pre-started job was previously used to perform the task or that no pre-started job was previously used to perform the task. In response to either determination, another pre-started job is determined in which to perform the task. The other pre-started job is determined based on affinity with the task, and may be reallocated to perform the task.

Abstract: A query facility for database queries saves and re-uses query execution strategies, and automatically detects that a strategy should be re-optimized as a result of changes to an indexed variable value. Preferably, the number of records evaluated and selected by the index value condition is dynamically monitored during execution, and an alternative query strategy is initiated when this number appears to be out of proportion to expectations. In an exemplary embodiment, an indexed search strategy is changed to a table scan strategy (or vice versa) as a result of a change to the number of records eliminated by the indexed value, although other examples are possible. Preferably, the query engine initiates an alternative search strategy and concurrently continues to execute the original search strategy as separate threads. Search results are obtained from whichever thread completes first.

Abstract translation: 用于数据库查询的查询功能保存并重新使用查询执行策略，并自动检测到由于对索引变量值的更改，策略应重新优化。 优选地，在执行期间动态地监视由索引值条件评估和选择的记录的数量，并且当该数量看起来与期望不成比例时，开始替代查询策略。 在示例性实施例中，作为由索引值消除的记录数的改变的结果，索引的搜索策略被改变为表扫描策略（或反之亦然），尽管其他示例是可能的。 优选地，查询引擎发起替代搜索策略并且同时继续执行原始搜索策略作为单独的线程。 搜索结果从无论哪个线程首先完成。

Abstract: A query engine (or optimizer) which supports database queries having user-defined functions maintains historical execution data with respect to each of multiple user-defined functions. The historical execution data is dynamically updated based on query execution performance. When executing a query having user-defined functions, the query engine uses the historical execution data to predict an optimal evaluation ordering for the query conditions and, preferably, to dynamically adjust the evaluation order when appropriate. Preferably, the historical execution data includes historical execution time of the user-defined function and proportion of evaluated records which satisfied the query parameters.

Abstract translation: 支持具有用户定义功能的数据库查询的查询引擎（或优化器）维护关于多个用户定义的功能中的每一个的历史执行数据。 历史执行数据根据查询执行性能动态更新。 当执行具有用户定义功能的查询时，查询引擎使用历史执行数据来预测查询条件的最佳评估排序，并且优选地，在适当时动态地调整评估顺序。 优选地，历史执行数据包括用户定义的功能的历史执行时间和满足查询参数的评估记录的比例。

Abstract: A database engine and a system running a database engine utilize a dynamic join reordering feature to change the order of two or more join operations while a query is executing. The database engine starts execution of the query with an initial join order setting but monitors the execution of the query to determine whether the initial join order or some other join order would provide better runtime performance. If another join order would provide better performance, then the database engine can change the join order during query execution and complete the query using the new join order.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product use a first index associated with a field in a database table to identify a range of records in the database table that includes instances of a first key value in the field and use the identified range of records to subset a second index associated with another field in a database table. The database query identifies the first key value for the field in the database table and the second key value for the other field in the database table. By doing so, information from an index may be carried over and applied to another index to subset the other index, often reducing the quantity of entries that are searched in the other index and improving performance.

Abstract translation: 方法，装置和程序产品使用与数据库表中的字段相关联的第一索引来标识数据库表中的记录范围，其包括该字段中的第一键值的实例，并使用所识别的记录范围来子集 与数据库表中另一个字段关联的第二个索引。 数据库查询标识数据库表中字段的第一个键值，数据库表中另一个字段的第二个键值。 通过这样做，来自索引的信息可以被转移并应用于另一个索引以对另一个索引进行子集，通常减少在另一个索引中搜索的条目的数量并提高性能。
