Abstract: An architecture and method for efficient termination of variable length keys in a PATRICIA trie is disclosed. By adding a null-labeled link, it is possible to terminate such variable length PATRICIA trie nodes, allowing to overcome the need for complex termination solutions. Specifically, a ternary PATRICIA block is introduced.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于有效终止PATRICIA trie中的可变长度密钥的体系结构和方法。 通过添加空标签链接，可以终止这种可变长度的PATRICIA特里节点，从而克服复杂终端解决方案的需要。 具体来说，引入了三元PATRICIA块。

Abstract: Enabling a first user to preview content as it would be seen by a second user, if the second user had a selected user relationship with the first user. The selected user relationship may comprise a relationship degree, a relationship category, a relationship rating, and/or other form of relationship. In one embodiment, a user interface enables the first user to assign user relationships to portions of content and to other users. The first user selects a user relationship, which is used to access those portions of content that are associated with the first user and assigned the selected user relationship. The corresponding portions of content are used to generate a preview display for the first user, illustrating the portions of content that would be accessible to other users assigned the same user relationship or assigned a closer user relationship. Preview may be generated by a server or a local client.

Abstract translation: 如果第二用户具有与第一用户的选择的用户关系，则允许第一用户预览内容，如第二用户将看到的内容。 所选择的用户关系可以包括关系度，关系类别，关系评级和/或其他形式的关系。 在一个实施例中，用户界面使得第一用户能够将用户关系分配给内容的部分和其他用户。 第一用户选择用于访问与第一用户相关联并分配所选择的用户关系的内容的那些部分的用户关系。 内容的相应部分被用于为第一用户生成预览显示，示出了被分配了相同用户关系或分配了更密切的用户关系的其他用户可访问的内容部分。 预览可能由服务器或本地客户端生成。

Abstract: A device, system, and method are directed towards sending a status of a user in a social network to a recipient. In one embodiment, a status of the user is received over a channel. The channel may include an application protocol. The recipient is selected based on a membership in the social network, a preference of the recipient, or a media format of the status. Another channel is selected based on information about a mode of communication between the recipient and the user and/or another member related to the user in the social network. The status may be modified based on social network information, preferences of a recipient, receiving device information, channel information, or the like. The status is forwarded to the recipient over the other channel. Forwarding may comprise unicasting, multicasting, and/or delaying sending the status until the other channel is available.

Abstract: Enabling a content publisher and a receiving user to control access to content updates based on user relationships. The content publisher and the receiving user may assign a relationship degree, relationship category, and/or relationship rating to each other and to other users. The content publisher and/or receiving user also specify a required relationship that is needed to access or accept a content update. The content publisher and receiving user may further specify acceptable types of content updates, such as blog entries, product reviews, photos, and the like that are accessible or acceptable. Upon logon or other event, a summary of content updates is provided to each receiving user that meets each content publisher's required relationship, and the content updates are delivered according to a selected delivery method from those content publishers that meet the relationship requirements of the receiving users. Delivery includes email, instant message, RSS feeds, and the like.

Abstract translation: 使内容发布者和接收用户能够根据用户关系控制对内容更新的访问。 内容发布者和接收用户可以将彼此的关系度，关系类别和/或关系评级分配给其他用户。 内容发布者和/或接收用户还指定访问或接受内容更新所需的关系。 内容发布者和接收用户可以进一步指定可访问或可接受的可接受类型的内容更新，诸如博客条目，商品评论，照片等。 在登录或其他事件时，向满足每个内容发布者所需关系的每个接收用户提供内容更新的摘要，并且根据所选择的传递方法从满足接收用户的关系要求的那些内容发布者传送内容更新 。 交付包括电子邮件，即时消息，RSS Feed等。

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a Modified Sequitur algorithm (MSA) using pipelining and indexed arrays to identify trending topics within a plurality of documents having user generated content (UGC). The documents are parallelized and distributed across a plurality of network devices, which place at least some of the received documents into a buffer for which the MSA may then be applied to the documents within the buffer to identify n-grams or phrases within the documents' contents. The identified phrases are further analyzed to remove extraneous co-occurrences of phrases, and/or words based on a part of speech analysis. A weighting of the remaining phrases is used to identify trending topic phrases. Links to content in the plurality of UGC documents that is associated with the trending topic phrases may then be displayed to a client device.

Abstract translation: 实施例针对使用流水线和索引数组来修改具有用户生成内容（UGC）的多个文档内的趋势主题的修改的序列算法（MSA）。 这些文档被并行化并且分布在多个网络设备上，这些网络设备将至少一些接收到的文档放置在缓冲器中，然后可以将MSA应用于缓冲器中的文档，以识别文档中的n个或多个短语， 内容。 进一步分析识别的短语，以消除基于词性分析的短语和/或单词的无关共存。 使用剩余短语的加权来识别趋势主题短语。 然后可以将与趋势主题短语相关联的多个UGC文档中的内容的链接显示给客户端设备。
