In some locations, such as airports, drivers that provide passenger transport must wait a significant distance away from the pickup location. To reduce the delay between a passenger requesting a ride and being picked up, drivers are pre-dispatched before being assigned to specific passengers. The demand for a future time period is predicted and the number of drivers that should be pre-dispatched to meet that demand is estimated. The estimated number of drivers is sent pre-dispatch instruction indicating they should leave the waiting area and head towards the pickup location.

A three-layer management protocol device emulator and method that emulates numerous Web management protocol devices using a single virtual machine. A client on a network believes that there are a large number of Web management protocol devices on the network. Embodiments of the emulator and method use a three-layer multiple-endpoint model. A proxy layer is used to emulate multiple devices by building an endpoint pool containing a large number of endpoint pairs corresponding to the emulated devices. The presentation layer is used to specifically translate and parse the Web management protocol, and the logic layer represents the logic for a specific Web management protocol device being emulated. Embodiments of the emulator and method receive a request from a client on the network, use the proxy layer, presentation layer and logic layer to process the request and obtain a response, and then send the response back to the requesting client.

A wind power generation system includes a wind turbine at a wind turbine location, a measuring device for providing a wind condition signal at a test location, a sensor for providing a wind condition signal at the wind turbine, and a controller. The controller is configured for receiving the wind condition signals, using a wind correlation database and the wind condition signal at the test location for providing a wind condition estimation at the wind turbine location, obtaining a difference between the wind condition signal at the wind turbine location and the wind condition estimate at the wind turbine location, and using the difference for adjusting the wind condition signal at the wind turbine location.

Multilingual document searches are performed by ordering and filtering localized documents in different languages based on user preferences. Documents are indexed in a global search engine index using an identifier property and a language property permitting all relevant documents to be retrieved in a single search engine query. By storing documents with their identifier and language properties, documents from different cultures but with same content can be treated as equivalent. Results of the initial search include a multilingual set of documents ranked in order of relevance. Result sets are then post-processed using a data resource indicating for each multilingual user interface combination, which language version of each document should be returned. The initial search result are then transformed into a relevance based ordered list treating documents in different languages having same content as equivalent. Based on the ordered list, a final document list is prepared using localized and non-localized content.

Method and system for performing multilingual document searches

Optimized storage and query of multi-value properties is enabled by generating a base table for single value properties associated with a user-defined schema and a number of row-based tables for each different type of multi-value properties. By combining multi-value properties into row-based tables or even into compatible type tables, a number of tables to be created for a database system such as SQL system is reduced at the same time optimizing create/read/update/delete operations.

Multi-value property storage and query support

A classifier is used to predict relevant results with arbitrary filtering conditions specified by the user. The classifier model is stored as a database table and joined with a metadata properties table instead of calculating the query result probability using the full classifier model. A user-specified query based filter is applied to the joined tables to obtain the list of documents satisfying the filter. The probability is then computed using the sub-model.

Dynamic metadata filtering for classifier prediction

Search and filtering of documents with different metadata schemata is enabled using a single index that supports a single schema through decorated namespaces. Each metadata schema submitted to a system is assigned a unique identifier and property names associated with the schema are prefixed with the unique identifier. A single-valued, decorated property is used to indicate whether a submitted document is part of a registered schema in the system. The single-valued properties are converted to a search index table that enables resource-optimized searching and filtering of documents eliminating documents of other schemata by simply checking the association property.
