Google has recently made available at http: / / news.google.com an automated “newspaper”, which searches continuously about 4,500 news sources, and lets users view automatically generated headlines in a few general areas or lets users search for news by keywords. The automatic determination of which news items or news stories are most important is done by 3 main criteria: In how many sources the news item appeared, how important are the news sources in which it appeared, and how close it is to the top in each of these news sources. However, many problems still remain, such as for example: a. The choice of a single main news source and a single image for each item seems arbitrary to the user and limits the user. b. If the user clicks on the “related items” link for that item the user always gets a linear list of typically hundreds or even more than a thousand links to related news items, sorted either by relevance or by time, however, the new list is now without any images and without any clustering, so that many times news stories that are about the same event or even identical, may appear at different positions in the list of related links, and various other news items may appear between them and are typically also dispersed in various places. This makes it vary hard for the user to take advantage efficiently of the list of related items. The present invention solves the above problem by creating recursive clustering, so that preferably at any level in the tree the user can preferably either choose a specific news item from the cluster or from the shown sub-clusters or continue in the tree. Another improvement is that searching the Meta News by keywords can generate an automatic newspaper in a way similar to the original automatically generated newspaper. Many additional improvements to the concept of automated newspapers and / or news MetaSearch are also shown. Other improvements are suggested for improved shareware MetaSearch, improved Web pages search, and other types of searches.

Disclosed herein are inventions that integrate a home television set top box (“STB”) or home media center with a smart voicemail system of a telephone service provider. Smart voicemail features, such as email notification of voicemails, or online playback of voicemails, may be used to obtain digital voicemail audio files that are then stored and maintained in a home computer network. These files can be served over the network via a networked television STB or a media center computer, to a display monitor during normal usage. Embodiments cause new voicemail notifications to be displayed during typical operation of a television with the STB or media center computer and provide users with an interface for responding to new voicemail notifications, and reviewing, managing, and playing back voicemail. Messages received thus can be easily identified and reviewed through an interface with which subscribers are extremely comfortable.

A query may be applied against search engines that respectively return a set of search results relating to various items discovered in the searched data sets. However, presenting numerous and varied search results may be difficult on mobile devices with small displays and limited computational resources. Instead, search results may be associated with search domains representing various information types (e.g., contacts, public figures, places, projects, movies, music, and books) and presented by grouping search results with associated query domains, e.g., in a tabbed user interface. The query may be received through an input device associated with a particular input domain, and may be transitioned to the query domain of a particular search engine (e.g., by recognizing phonemes of a voice query using an acoustic model; matching phonemes with query terms according to a pronunciation model; and generating a recognition result according to a vocabulary of an n-gram language model.)

A multi-dimensional graphic user interface displays selected types of information regarding items included in one or more databases or returned by a search in accordance with locations on a two-dimensional display area or projection of a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional area and provides for selective display of information about respective items in a database (e.g. metadata) as additional dimensions of the display which may be suppressed and / or selectively introduced to avoid user distraction or obscuring information or for comparison between screens which may indicate to a user the degree to which a particular item may or may not be germane to an issue or particular subject matter of interest. The graphic user interface thus provides an effective tool for evaluating search results and organizing detailed review thereof.

The graphical user interface may be configured to allow a user to initiate queries and communicates with a report servlet coupled to the graphical user interface, the report servlet recalling stored event objects in response to user queries from the graphical user interface and displaying recalled event objects on the graphical user interface display screen. An application reporter coupled to the report servlet receives and processes user queries and performs searches of stored event objects within a database accessible by the application reporter. The database is configured to recall event objects in response to searches executed by the application reporter.

Improved techniques for validating timestamps used in a client-server environment are disclosed. A client can associate client-provided timestamps with events that occur at the client. The client can then send event information as well as the timestamps to a server. Preferably, the event information and timestamps are sent in a batch pertaining to a plurality of events that have occurred at the client. The server, which has greater time accuracy, can then validate the client-provided timestamps. The server can also modify the client-provided timestamps so as to improve accuracy of the timestamps. Once modified, the timestamps can pertain to a range (e.g., window) of time during which the associated events can be known to have reliably occurred. In one embodiment, the client-server environment is a distributed file security system in which the events and event information pertain to audit files. The distributed file security system provides efficient and reliable techniques to ensure accuracy of client-provided timestamps.

The present invention provides a technique for verifying pacing capture of a ventricular chamber, particularly to ensure desired delivery of a ventricular pacing regime (e.g., “CRT”). The invention also provides ventricular capture management by delivering a single ventricular pacing stimulus and checking inter-ventricular conduction during a temporal window to determine if the stimulus captured. If a loss-of-capture (LOC) signal results from the capture management testing, then the applied pacing pulses are modified and the conduction test repeated. If LOC, an alert message can issue. Other aspects include: use of a trend of A-RV / LV and LV-RV timing intervals to monitor changes in the patient's heart conduction properties; bi-ventricular verification test and search—while still pacing BiV by detecting latent sense; single-V pacing threshold search, use of timing of sense in other V chamber to establish capture and LOC windows; (iv) use of a premature V pace rather than short AV interval if VV cannot be discriminated from AV; (v) option to run a threshold search only if the Bi-ventricular verification test fails.
