Abstract: A computer system for publishing content includes a categorization member, a rating module, a user profiling assembly and a suggested-reading engine. The categorization member enables an author-user and reader-users of an authored work to categorize content of the authored work using a fixed taxonomy, keywords, tags and/or keyword combinations. The rating module enables reader-users to rate authored works and makes a determination of quality of each authored work in the system. Rating includes reader-user response activity such as number of times the reader recommends, forwards or otherwise effectively promotes the authored work. The user profiling assembly measures words and word combinations used (written or read) by a user and generates therefrom a profile of the user. The suggested-reading engine is responsive to the rating module and provides a ranked list of suggested reading (authored works) for a user. The suggested reading is based on the user's ratings of authored works, respective relevance of authored works to the user and editorial promotion of certain articles/authored works.

Abstract translation: 用于发布内容的计算机系统包括分类成员，评级模块，用户分析组件和建议阅读引擎。 分类成员使创作作品的作者用户和读者使用者能够使用固定的分类法，关键字，标签和/或关键字组合对作者作品的内容进行分类。 评估模块使读者能够对作者的作品进行评分，并确定系统中每个作品的质量。 评级包括读者用户响应活动，例如读者推荐的次数，转发或以其他方式有效地促进创作的作品。 用户分析组件测量用户使用（书面或读取）的单词和单词组合，并从中生成用户的简档。 建议阅读引擎响应评估模块，并为用户提供建议阅读（作者作品）的排名列表。 建议的阅读基于用户对作者的评分，作者对作者的相关性以及对某些文章/作品的编辑推广。

In an exemplary embodiment the encoder includes a K-bit length shift register for receiving an input serial stream of information bits and providing for each input bit a K-bit parallel output to a self-doubly orthogonal code sequence generator. The encoded symbol stream is threshold decoded iteratively using the inversion of the convolutional self-doubly orthogonal parity code generators.

Abstract: There is described a system for measuring energy consumption of individual electrical devices amongst a plurality of electrical devices. The system is adapted to determine in real time energy consumption while reducing its own consumption of energy by adjusting a transmission rate to between status sensing devices and a consumption evaluation device. The transmission rate is adjusted as a function of learned energy consumption habits and/or consumption characteristics of individual electrical devices.
