A sling load computer-operated hook assembly for helicopter or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) use is provided. The hook assembly allows automated pick-up and delivery. The computer hook assembly also (1) directs navigation of the aircraft, (2) finds and engages loads for pickup, (3) controls stability of the sling load enroute, and (4) releases the load at the delivery point. The self-contained feature allows the hook assembly to be moved from aircraft to aircraft. The hook assembly senses weight, motion and position of the load for stability control. An integral GPS unit is used to direct navigation. These data are transmitted to the aircraft autopilot and flight director instruments to provide navigation to the designated points and to control load stability enroute. Mission data for pick-up and release points can be received remotely from a command and control tactical data net. Alternately, mission data can be locally entered.

According to one aspect, a computerized method and apparatus for generating and presenting search snippets that enable user-directed navigation of the underlying audio / video content. The method involves obtaining metadata associated with discrete media content that satisfies a search query. The metadata identifies a number of content segments and corresponding timing information derived from the underlying media content using one or more automated media processing techniques. Using the timing information identified in the metadata, a search result or “snippet” can be generated that enables a user to arbitrarily select and commence playback of the underlying media content at any of the individual content segments.

Embodiments are described for a system and method for redirecting Internet traffic away from illegitimate web sites. A redirect process includes a typo identifier engine and a direct navigation engine. The typo identifier engine generates a list of domain names based on common typographical variations of legitimate brand domains, and common direct navigation domains. A web crawler process verifies if the generated domain name are registered. The sites are classified as either legitimate or illegitimate based on a series of defined rules and analysis of parameters, such as site content, registrar identity, and owner. The direct navigation engine compares the user's request with the list of known illegitimate domains found by the typo identifier engine. If a match is found, the system replaces the user requested domain name with a redirected domain name.

A hierarchy improvement system and associated method automatically locate “weak spots” in a hierarchical organization of a Web site, where the visitors' expected locations of Web pages, Web sites, or Web points (i.e., nodes) do not coincide with their actual locations. The system mines the users' access patterns, such as backtracks, and determines the most likely locations of the Web pages by discovering or inferring backtracks. Once the expected locations are defined, the system either forwards the expected locations with a high frequency of repetition or a substantially high benefit value to the Web site administrator for corrective action, such as adding direct navigation links from the expected locations to the target pages, or automatically adding such navigation links.

A method allowing a reader of a document who is not the author of the document to reference and link to some specific portion or location in the document so that others may navigate directly to the specific portion of the document even where the author of the document has not provided an HTML anchor to the specific portion or location of the document is provided.

With a client connected to a server, an agent tool simulates user interaction and traversal of dynamic web pages, causing the server-side processes to serve HTML pages to the client. As these pages are served, they are collected by the agent, modified to include static hyperlinks to replace the server side directed navigation logic, and then persistently stored in local files where they are available for off-line navigation by a browser without the need for accessing the server(s). In effect, the HTML pages are published.

A navigation receiver mounted on a moving vehicle receives navigation signals transmitted from global navigation satellites. The navigation signals are separated into direct navigation signals, navigation signals reflected from an object, and navigation signals reflected from an environmental surface. The signal separation is based on algorithms including various combinations of signal strength, change in signal strength, delay time, spectral width, change in spectral width, and user-defined thresholds. The navigation signals reflected from an environmental surface are eliminated from further processing. The position of the navigation receiver is calculated based on the direct navigation signals. The object is detected, and the position of the object is calculated, based on the navigation signals reflected from the object. If the object is determined to lie in the path of the moving vehicle, a command can be generated to avoid collision between the moving vehicle and the object.
