Some embodiments promote website credibility and the optimization of websites for people by automatedly quantifying various elements of a website into component credibility scores. In some embodiments, a set of encoded credibility scoring rules are used to compute each of the component credibility scores, wherein the credibility scoring rules are derived based on factors that have been identified by a grouping of people that preferably represent a primary demographic of users that consume the content of a particular classified type of website. In some such embodiments, the credibility scoring rules are derived from commonality that is identified from a sample set of known credible and / or non-credible websites of a particular classification. Once the credibility scoring rules are defined, the system applies the rules to other websites having the same classification as those from which the rules are derived to automatically generate credibility scores for the other websites.

A breathing assistance unit for providing pressurized heated humidified air at to a user is configured to increase user compliance. The breathing assistance unit comprises means for generating positive emotional and cognitive states of a user about the therapy.

Low resolution information streams are combined in a broadcast carrier and broadcast along with full resolution information streams down a television broadcast network. The low resolution streams may be decoded and displayed in mosaic display with multiple images from separate low resolution streams simultaneously displayed. When a user selects a particular channel to be displayed, a low resolution stream associated with the selected channel is displayed (video and audio) while the full resolution stream is processed for display. Once the full resolution stream is available for display, it replaces the low resolution stream. The user perceives a much lower channel change time by viewing the low resolution stream during the channel change delay. The low resolution stream may also be provided directly to a portable media player (PMP) in a low resolution format required for display by the PMP.

This invention relates to a system for organizing, storing, retrieving and displaying spatially related images where such images may also be relatable within time or image modality parameters. The system includes a dynamically manipulable user interface capable of visually depicting one or more images in a registerable manner, and also depicting the orientation of the image or images in relation to the surrounding neighborhood. The inventive system provides for display of panoramic image sequences consisting of multiple rows with multiple images per row, or image sequences consisting of only a single image. In a preferred embodiment, images taken from the same perspective at different times can be overlaid, and the user manipulates the display to perform real-time compare and contrast between images. In an alternate embodiment, the registered images include those created by means of different imaging modes or modalities such as, for example, visible light images and thermographic images.

The invention discloses a network access method and a network access system. The network access method comprises the following steps: performing identity authentication on a network terminal based on a Radius protocol through an operator network BNG (broadband network gateway) and an AAA (authentication authorization accounting) server; in response to passing of the identity authentication, sending an identity authentication passing message for the network terminal to an access management unit of a cloud computing platform by the AAA server, so that when the network terminal logs in a virtual dual-stack host system of the cloud computing platform, the access management unit of the cloud computing platform can directly identify the network terminal according to the identity authentication passing message sent by the AAA server, and allows the network terminal to log in the virtual dual-stack host system. According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, secondary authentication on the network terminal caused by isolation between the BNG equipment of a network layer and the cloud computing platform of an application layer is avoided, the authentication flow of a user is simplified, and meanwhile, the user can conveniently access the internet through the virtual dual-stack host system provided by the cloud computing platform.

The present invention provides a terminal application loading method and apparatus and a terminal. The method comprises: recording information about the numbers of times that applications installed on an operating system are started before the operating system installed on a terminal is closed; performing priority ranking on the applications according to the information about the numbers of times that the applications are started, and storing a result of the priority ranking; and during a next startup of the operating system of the terminal, loading the applications in descending order of priority according to the prestored result of the priority ranking. According to the scheme provided by the present invention, applications required by a user can be loaded preferentially during a starting process of a terminal, thereby improving using experience of the user.

The present invention relates to direct volume rendering based on a light model applied to a 3D array of information data samples. Gradients are first estimated for the individuals samples, and a simple shading is done on the samples with low gradient, i.e. homogenous areas.

A method for handling service failures for in a communications network comprising a user equipment, a first network element and a serving network element, the method comprising the following steps. Receiving at the first network element a first message from the user equipment. Transmitting the first message from the first network element to the serving network element. Detecting at the first network element that the serving network element is out of service. Determining at the first network element the type of the first message, and in dependence on the type of the first message sending from the first network element to the user equipment an error message including an indication that the serving network element is out of service.

The invention provides a dialing device bandwidth access method, a dialing device bandwidth access device, and a server. The method is characterized in that an internet access request information transmitted by a dialing device using a same user account number and / or password information for dial-up can be received; the internet access request information at least comprises the user account number and / or the password information and the Media Access Control MAC address information of the dialing device; the user account number and / or the password information, and the matching relation between the user account number and / or the password information and the Media Access Control MAC address information of the dialing device can be verified, and a verification result can be acquired; according to the verification result, the corresponding bandwidth can be allocated to the dialing device. By adopting the technical scheme of the invention, different dialing devices can be used for the independent internet dial-up by using the same user account number, and therefore the pressure of the database of the verification, authorization, and bookkeeping server can be relieved, the using experience of the users can be improved, and the embezzlement of the internet protocol television IPTV dialing device can be prevented.

A computer implemented method to display an industrial installation, which display may also display information about an event or an alarm in the installation. The method includes displaying an image which appears to the viewer to be a three dimensional holographic image including a view of the industrial installation. The image may also include one or more points in three dimensional space and which point or points are each mapped to a corresponding point or position in the industrial installation. A pointing device for actively indicating position on the image reflecting objects or positions in the installation is also described.
