Generating recommendations for an individual based on a mood of the individual. Receiving information corresponding to one or more activities associated with an individual over a period of time. The received information corresponding to the one or more activities associated with the individual is processed to detect a mood of the individual. A recommendation is generated for the individual based on the detected mood of the individual and a future event associated with the individual. The future event has an occurrence at a later time instance.

A computer system and method where text is recognized from a real world image, and this recognized text is used as input data for a processing program selected by a user. A computer system and method where text is recognized from a real world image, and contextual information is used in conjunction with the text to develop a semantic denotation of the recognized text. The contextual information may include GPS location data. The contextual information may include previous images, captured shortly prior to the image with the recognized text. A computer system and method wherein text is recognized from a real world image, then normalized to be in the plane of the image, then translated and then the translated text is made into an image that is anti-normalized and inserted into the original image (or an image similar to the original image). In this way, the translated text will appear realistically in place of the original untranslated text of the real world image.

The shortcomings of the prior art are overcome and additional advantages are provided through the provision of a self-centering nest for testing of microprocessor chip modules. The self-centering nest includes two slideable jaws disposed on a base diagonally opposite each other. Each jaw includes a jaw pin that is receptive in a carrier, such that when the jaw pins are received in the carrier, the jaws are in an open position. The self-centering nest includes a transfer mechanism for urging a microprocessor chip module from the carrier into the self-centering nest. The self-centering nest includes a plurality of springs, each spring having a first end connected to the first slideable jaw and a second end connected to the second slideable jaw. The springs cause the jaws to move toward each other capturing and centering the microprocessor chip module when the jaws are pulled away from the carrier releasing the jaw pins.

A method of queue busting using a wireless computing device can include executing a portlet within a wireless computing device, wherein the portlet is configured to query for kiosk availability. The method further can include receiving a request to reserve a kiosk for use by a customer from the wireless computing device. The wireless computing device can be local to the kiosk. The method further can include determining availability of the kiosk according to scheduling information for the kiosk and reserving the kiosk for use by the customer for a period of time according to the step of determining availability of the kiosk. A message, which specifies reservation information, can be sent to the wireless computing device.

An impact of configuration changes on controllers is projected, in a computing environment including one or more bridge attached channels. This projection quantifies the impact for each controller affected by the change, such that it is known by a quantifiable value how much the change impacts the controller. In order to project the impact, a projected I/O velocity of the controller is determined. In making the projections, pseudo channels associated with a particular bridge attached channel are modelled as independent channels. Alternatively, a utilization metric of a bridge attached channel is determined and compared to a threshold; pseudo channels associated with the bridge attached channel are modelled as independent channels if the utilization metric is below the threshold.

An improved resistive touch panel is disclosed. The improved resistive touch panel includes a first plurality of stripes of a resistive coating on a front sheet running in a first direction and a second plurality of stripes of a resistive coating on a back sheet running in a second direction. The overlapping regions between the first and second plurality of stripes are scanned by a controller circuit to detect voltage drops at these regions. Because the overlapping regions are independent of each other, the controller circuit is able to detect the individual regions involved in the touch area. In this manner, the controller circuit is able to determine between small and large areas of contact by detecting adjacent contact areas.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for optimizing queries in a database management system, wherein the queries comprise content-based searches of data types that are supported through the use of appropriate indexing techniques not known or available to the database management system. The queries are automatically rewritten or optimized to take advantage of the indexing techniques.

An optical data transmission system includes an optical data receiver having a plurality of optical detectors and an optical switch which directs successive pulses of a serial data stream to different detectors. The switch includes one or more superconductive mirrors responsive to current pulses to change from a superconducting, reflective state to a non-superconducting, non-reflective state for the duration of a current pulse. In this manner, high speed optical data is received by detectors incapable of operating at the high speed of available optical data links and transmitters. The mirror is oriented at an angle to the data stream such that an optical pulse is reflected to one detector when the mirror is in the superconducting, reflective state and is passed through the mirror to another detector when the mirror is temporarily in the non-superconducting, non-reflective state under the control of a current pulse. A plurality of mirrors may be used to direct optical pulses of the incoming data stream to more than two detectors.

An approach for an automatic table cleanup process of use, implemented in relational databases, are provided. A method includes setting up a table cleanup process in a database which is operable to perform an automatic table cleanup on a table within the database using an auto purge value associated with the table. The method further includes altering the table with a virtual column to keep track of dates on the table. The method further includes turning on an automatic table maintenance capability of the database to include and initiate the table cleanup process. The method further includes running the table cleanup process to perform the automatic table cleanup using dates which are automatically filled in during an insert or update operation on the table, the table cleanup process comprising looking through the records and automatically purging the table when the auto purge value has been met.
