380 results about "Delimiter" patented technology

A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters for specifying the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text or other data streams. An example of a delimiter is the comma character, which acts as a field delimiter in a sequence of comma-separated values. Another example of a delimiter is the time gap used to separate letters and words in the transmission of Morse code.

Method and apparatus for integrating resolution services, registration services, and search services

An input request may be processed by a device such as a network access apparatus, servlet, applet, stand-alone executable program, or a user interface element such as a microphone, text box object or location field of a web browser. When such an input request is determined to include a valid domain name, it may then be determined whether to perform a search request with the input as a literal string. A search request may be initiated by selecting an exact phrase option from a listbox or by surrounding the input with a delimiter such as the quote sign (e.g., “example.com”) to process the detected domain name as a literal string, otherwise a domain name detected from input may be processed as a registration and / or resolution request. When it is determined that the input is instead processed as a resolution and / or registration request, then the resolvability and / or availability of the domain name may be determined. When the domain name is determined to be not resolvable, then the domain name may be processed as a registration request.

Graphical device for comprehensive viewing and input of variable data via a browser-based display

A graphical input device, preferably in a browser-based display, resembles a pull-down menu, with a displayed data entry field. The set of possible entries to be displayed along with the graphical input device varies depending on the user. The minimum display width needed for full-width display of the entries is evaluated by scripting and the actual display of the set is generated accordingly. The drop-down list and its listed entries may be wider than the data entry field. The user can thus view and select customized possible entries that cannot fit within the displayed data entry field. According to another aspect of the preferred embodiment of the invention, when the user is making selections from the drop-down list, multiple keyboard entries can be used to cause rapid scrolling to entries that match not only the first character entered, but also to entries whose first n characters match n characters entered while viewing the list. For hierarchically structured and itemized entry lists, matching is preferably performed first to the right of at least one delimiter. The various novel aspects of the invention are implemented using scripting embedded within HTML code so that they are available to users who are browsing web content.

Lane keeping system and lane centering system

A lane keeping system for a vehicle sets a safe zone in which the driver can drive the vehicle. If the system determines that the driver is at risk of leaving the safe zone, the system takes a corrective action, such as notifying the driver or applying a steering correction to the vehicle. The system adjusts the width of the safe zone depending on the driver's capability to stay within the safe zone. A lane centering system may be capable of autonomously steering the vehicle to remain within a lane. The lane centering system may include a controller that determines a target path for the vehicle depending on certain parameters. The controller may model each of the lane delimiters in a simplified form. This facilitates the determination of one of the target paths (the centerline of the lane). The simplified form may be a 3rd order polynomial equation.

Computer file comparison method

A computer-implemented method and computer program product for comparing two data files to find matching data. The comparisons can be between dates, monetary units, or any other quantities. Comparisons are handled between files which differ by any predetermined function such as additive or multiplicative without using file wide delimiters, field boundary or field format information. An example of such a comparison are the additive differences resulting from aging files in a Year 2000 compliance testing method. The method can thus be used to test whether an effort to remediate a Year 2000 problem in a computer program was successful. Another example of such comparisons are the differences resulting from conversion between the monetary units of two countries or regions. The method can thus also be used to verify currency conversions. Data items are read from a first file and a second file and sequentially compared and, if a mismatch exists, it is determined whether the mismatch could be attributable to a difference in format, quantity, or both. An expected difference between two files may be input by a user of the program or may be automatically computed during operation.

Methods and apparatus for storing and manipulating variable length and fixed length data elements as a sequence of fixed length integers

Apparatus for storing and processing a plurality of data items each comprising supplied data values organized in one or more fields each of which stores typed data. Character strings and natural language text are converted to numerical token values in an array of fixed length integers and other forms of typed data (real numbers, dates, times, boolean values, etc.) are also converted to integer form and stored in the array. Stored metadata specifies the data type of all data in the integer array to enable each integer to be rapidly accessed and interpreted. When fixed length data types are present, the metadata specifies location, size and type of each fixed length element. When variable length data is stored in the integer array, size and location data stored in the integer array is accessed to rapidly and directly access the variable size data. The presence of implicit or explicit size information for each data structure, including variable size structures, speeds processing by eliminating the need to scan the data for delimiters, and by reducing the processing needed to perform memory allocation, data movement, lookup operations and data addressing functions. Data stored in the integer array is subdivided into items, and items are subdivided into fields. Items may be organized into more complex data structures, such as relational tables, hierarchical object structures, linked lists and trees, and the like, using special fields called links which identify other referenced items.

Shared namespace for storage clusters

Any client application uses a namespace application to resolve its pathname in order to reference a computer file. Computer files are stored in a fixed-content storage cluster and are accessed by retrieving a unique identifier for the computer file using the namespace application. Any type of pathname scheme from any client application is supported by the namespace. The namespace application uses a bindings table to record bindings between objects including the start date and end date for each binding, and direction and separator data used in the pathname scheme. An attribute table in the namespace keeps track of each attribute and its value for each object of the namespace including a start date and an end date for each attribute. The namespace provides syntactic generality in that any pathname scheme of a client application can be resolved to identify a unique computer file in the storage cluster. The namespace may be shared between applications because when one application modifies a file or its attributes using the namespace, another application using a different pathname scheme has access to the exact same data and modifications. The namespace provides a near instantaneous continuous backup for computer files in the storage cluster because of the use of start date and end dates for the bindings and attributes.
