A universal distributed search system allows users to find and distribute search results (possibly including advertisements) to those with whom they communicate. The search results can be easily distributed by the user via a simple interface that allows the search results to be easily added to the user's content. In one implementation, a content creation application includes a first interface configured to facilitate composition of a message by a user and a second interface configured to receive a search query from the user, display search results relating to the search query, and receive selections of the search results from the user. The messaging application automatically incorporates, in response to the selections, the selected ones of the search results into the message in the first interface.

The search results can be easily distributed by the user via a simple interface that allows the search results to be easily added to the user's content. In one implementation, the search results may be automatically generated by the system based on user input to a content creation application.

The present invention relates to the usage pattern, commonly found in many software applications, of defining sets of objects based on object attributes. A specifically designed set definition language for defining sets, called SDL, is described and a software system that implements this language efficiently on top of a standard relational database management system (RDBMS) is presented. The unique features of the SDL language are the implicit constraints that are enforced on the relational data that belong to the objects. Unique to the SDL system is also the logical metadata of dimensions that enables the SDL system to enforce these constraints across relations. The SDL system utilizes several optimization techniques to enable efficient implementation on top of RDBMS. It is also shown how the SDL language and the SQL language can be merged with bidirectional inlining using syntactic gates. Query composition tools are also described that facilitate the creation of SDL expressions.

Selective antagonists of A_2A adenosine receptors are provided. The novel A_2A blockers are useful for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other diseases.

Jigsaw connector pieces representing tasks to be performed are displayed on a computer screen, preferably hierarchically in a tree, to elucidate the relationships between tasks. To perform a task, a user positions an attachment jigsaw piece next to its corresponding connector piece. The user is then prompted to input or verify preferences in a properties panel. For example, a printer may be installed by interconnecting an attachment piece (corresponding to the printer to be installed) next to the printer connector piece in the tree. The user may be aided in the process of matching connector and attachment pieces through the use of matching colors and images on the pieces.

Provided herein are processes comprising providing a fermentation medium comprising a fermentable carbon source, a recombinant microorganism comprising an engineered butanol biosynthetic pathway, and butanol; contacting said fermentation medium with an extractant composition comprising an effective amount of antioxidant or antioxidant-like compound, whereby at least a portion of the butanol in the fermentation medium partitions into the extractant; recovering at least a portion of the butanol and extractant composition from the fermentation medium; recycling the extractant composition recovered in (c) one or more times in the fermentation medium; optionally adjusting the effective amount of antioxidant or antioxidant-like compound in the extractant composition, whereby the rate of oxidation or effect of oxidized products in the recycled extractant composition is substantially reduced and/or avoided such that the extractant composition may be recycled.

The present invention relates to adhesion promoting cleaner compositions which comprise at least one acid having at least one sulphur atom and a pK_a of less than 2, and also at least one wetting assistant and water. These adhesion promoting cleaner compositions promote the adhesion of adhesives and sealants to paints.

A method and apparatus for creating a compressed trace for a program, wherein events are compressed separately to provide improved compression and tracing. A sequence of events for a program is selected, and a sequence of values is then determined for each of the selected events occurring during an execution of the program. Each sequence of values is then compressed to generate a compressed sequence of values for each event. These values are then ordered in accordance with information stored in selected events (such as for example, branch events), where the ordered values correspond to the trace.

A Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) based short messaging system and method are provided for a digital broadcast-enabled mobile phone. A short messaging method for a mobile phone supporting digital broadcast service and a short message service includes receiving a broadcast stream; capturing a broadcast image from the broadcast stream; extracting text from the broadcast image; and composing a short message using the text.

A letter input method and system for inputting a sequence of letters are provided. The letter input method includes activating a toggle input mode in response to a stroke on one of toggle keys, detecting an input event on a letter key in the toggle input mode, and inputting a letter which is fixed to the letter key in association with the toggle key activated in the toggle input mode among multiple letters assigned to letter keys.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising tranexamic acid, kits thereof, and methods for treating bleeding by local administration.

A process for increasing the adhesion of a polymeric material to a metal surface, the process comprising contacting the metal surface with an adhesion promoting composition comprising: 1) an oxidizer; 2) an inorganic acid; 3) a corrosion inhibitor; and 4) an organic phosphonate; and thereafter b) bonding the polymeric material to the metal surface. The organic phosphonate aids in stabilizing the oxidizer and organic components present in the bath and prevents decomposition of the components, thereby increasing the working life of the bath, especially when used with copper alloys having a high iron content.

An animal, bird, and repellent formulation and method for warding off deer, geese, birds and insects from shrubs, grass, water, walks, parking lots in around buildings and the like. The formulation is a mixture of water, rosemary oil, mint oil, cedar oil, kaolin clay, a thickener, preservative, white distilled vinegar and dried eggs. This formulation can be applied to a support medium, such as crushed eggshells, nutshells, or corncobs and then disbursed over the surface to be protected. The mixture can also be formed into a viscous composition and sprayed over the area. Additionally, this mixture can be applied to stagnate water to kill mosquito larvae or on a variety of surfaces to repel insects such as flies, spiders, beetles, ants and so forth.

A two-wavelength semiconductor laser device includes a first semiconductor laser device including a first-conductivity type first cladding layer, a first guide layer made of AlGaAs mixed crystal, a first quantum well active layer having a barrier layer made of AlGaAs mixed crystal, a second guide layer made of AlGaAs mixed crystal, and a second-conductivity type second cladding layer, and a second semiconductor laser device including a first-conductivity type third cladding layer, a third guide layer made of AlGaInP mixed crystal, a second quantum well active layer having a barrier layer made of AlGaInP mixed crystal, a fourth guide layer made of AlGaInP mixed crystal, and a second-conductivity type fourth cladding layer. At least the barrier layer included in the first quantum well active layer, the first guide layer, and the second guide layer each have an Al molar ratio of more than 0.47 and 0.60 or less.
