Ordered binder document sections having different file formats stored within a binder file. The binder file maintains the order of binder document sections and the native file format of each section. The ordered sections can be viewed and edited through a viewport of a frame displayed by a binder program module. By selecting graphical images displayed in a selection area of the frame the content of a binder document section can be viewed and edited without viewing the content of other binder document sections. The graphical images can be icons or graphical images derived from the content of sections called thumbnail images. A thumbnail image can be derived from either the first page or from multiple pages of an individual section. The binder program module can also dispatch the underlying application program modules that created each binder document section to print, spell check, and grammar check the binder document sections as a single data processing task. In this manner, selected sections of a binder document can be printed as a single consecutively printed document without having other print jobs interrupting or intervening between printed sections of the binder document.

In the file storage system, each portion belonging to a data file is identified by its file ID and an offset along the data file, where the offset is a constant for the file and every file data portion is always kept at the same position within a memory page to be read or programmed in parallel. In this way, every time a page containing a file portion is read and copy to another page, the data in it is always page-aligned, and each bit within the file portion can always be manipulated by the same sense amplifier and same set data latches within the same memory column. In a preferred implementation, the page alignment is such that (offset within a page)=(data offset within a file) MOD (page size). Any gaps that may exist in page can be padded with any existing page-aligned valid data.

A hierarchical storage system includes file servers and a policy engine server. Offline attributes are added to file system inodes in a primary file server, file system parameters are added in the primary server, offline read and write access method fields are added to a connection database, and the primary file server uses these attributes and parameters for selecting a particular read method or write method for access to an offline file or section of an offline file. The write methods follow a “write recall full” policy, a “pass-through write” policy, a “pass-through multi-version” policy, or a “directory write pass-through” policy. The pass-through multi-version policy results in a new offline version of a file each time that a client opens and writes to a multi-version file. The directory write pass-through policy results in a new offline file when a file is created within a write pass-through directory.

A method and apparatus identifies the existence of differences between two files on a personal computer, such as two versions of a Windows registry file. Portions of each of the files are hashed into a four byte value per portion to produce a set of hash results, and the set of hash results is combined with a four byte size of the portion of the file from which the hash was generated to produce a signature of each file. If the two files are different versions of a Windows registry file, the portion of the file hashed are the values of the Windows registry file. If the two files are different, there is a high probability that the signatures of the two files will be different. The signatures may be compared to provide a strong indicator whether the two files are different. Each four-byte hash from one file can be compared against its counterpart from the other file to determine the portion or portions of the files that differ. Stored portions of one file that are determined to differ may be inserted into corresponding portions of the other file to cause the two files to be equivalent.

Methods and apparatus implementing a technique for retrieving requested data. In general, in one aspect, the technique includes receiving a request from an application to read a portion of an application file and consulting a filter-system file. The filter-system file contains processed data that corresponds to data in the application file and correspondence information indicating how the set of processed data corresponds to the data in the application file. The technique also includes deriving the requested portion of the application file from the processed data using the correspondence information, and delivering the requested portion of the application file to the application. In another aspect, the technique includes receiving data to be retrieved in response to a request from an application with reference to the application's view of the application file, processing the received data to generate processed data that corresponds to the received data, producing correspondence information indicating how the processed data corresponds to the received data is produced, and storing the processed data and the correspondence information in a filter-system file.

A method and implementing computer system are provided for enabling a document section block selection including the insertion and display of endpoint markers at the beginning and end of the selected block. In an exemplary embodiment, a selected block of text may then be either shortened or extended by using a pointing device to move a corresponding displayed endpoint marker in a selected direction.

The assembly of documents assembled by a team is simplified. Document sections are assigned to a team member from within a word-processing document. Once a document template is opened by a user, the different sections within the document may be assigned to team members. Once a section is assigned, a notification is sent to the team members indicating the assignment. The team member may access their assigned section(s) through the notification. The team member may also access a central location to edit the sections they have been assigned. Team members from within the document may also search and use content from one or more content libraries to assist in the document assembly. Newly created content may also be saved to a new and/or existing content library. The content is then available to other team members working on the same or different projects.

Video streaming is delivered through a communication network to one or more client computing devices/systems. A number of video display or bandwidth control profiles are used in part to control an amount of bandwidth used by each client to stream video at various quality levels or audio-only. Video display profiles can be configured according to a particular device/system being used to stream video.

A document analysis, commenting, and reporting system provides tools that automate quality assurance analysis tailored to specific document types. As one example, the specific document type may be a requirements specification and the system may tag different parts of requirements, including actors, entities, modes, and a remainder. However, the flexibility of the system permits analysis of any other document type, such as instruction manuals and best practices guides. The system helps avoid confusion over the document when it is delivered because of non-standard terms, ambiguous language, conflicts between document sections, incomplete or inaccurate descriptions, size and complexity of the document, and other issues.

Systems and methods for differential document analysis and storage are provided. Specifically, the system can be configured to perform one or more differential analyses on a set of documents to detect and measure changes in language across entire sets of documents of a similar type, as well as changes in language in the specific objects (e.g., document sections, paragraphs, clauses) of the documents. The system comprises three primary components: document parsing, textual near-duplicate detection, and morphological analysis. The document parsing component breaks documents down into objects and creates indexes for each full document and components of the document. These indexes enable documents and objects to be compared for similarity using the near-duplicate detection component, which implements various similarity analysis algorithms. The morphological analyses component is configured to search the documents for particular language or sections and compare documents in which the searched language is present.

Disclosed are apparatus and methodology subject matters for upgrading firmware associated with one or more metrology devices and adjunct devices. Methods are disclosed for broadcast transmission of portions of a firmware image file from an originating device over a network connecting multiple devices to be upgraded. The entire image file may be transmitted as segments to be assembled by the end devices. Broadcast segments not properly received from the originating device may be retried directly from the originating device or from neighbors correctly receiving the segment. A viral propagation methodology is disclosed as an alternative to portions of the broadcast methodology.

A system and method for facilitating the processing and the use of documents by providing a system for categorizing document section headings under a set of canonical section headings. In the method for categorizing section headings, there may be a process of training a database and matching methods to categorize different but equivalent document section headings under canonical headings and categories. Once trained, the system may match and categorize the document sections with little to no supervision of the categorization for large sets of documents.

The invention discloses a subject similarity based case retrieving method, and belongs to the technical field of data retrieving. The method is characterized in that the document layout and the keywords are treated as the constraint conditions, and the automatic extraction algorithm is utilized to extract three sections, namely, the case facts of the document, the dispute focus and the judgment result; the subject terms of each document section are correspondingly extracted through a subject mode based on the field word list, thus obtaining the subject word blocks and non-subject word blocks of each document section; a feature inverse index is created according to the property words in the subject word blocks and the non-subject word blocks of each document section; the feature inverse index is mapped into a feature vector; the similarity of searching statements and documents in a document data set is calculated through a subject similarity model; the similarity of searching statements and documents in the document data set are sequenced, and the sequencing result is output, thus finishing document retrieving. According to the method, the document is described in a two-dimension manner, namely, the judicial feature words and the judicial subject, and the similar-case retrieving efficiency and accuracy can be improved.
