The present application discloses a bearing structural member, a support, a joint assembly and a tube section assembly, wherein the maximum counter force provided by the bearing structural member under an external load is an own designed threshold value, namely when the external load is greater than the designed threshold value of the bearing structural member, the bearing structural member deforms, and provides a counter force equal to the designed threshold value; the support includes at least one bearing structural member; and the joint assembly and the tube section assembly are both equipped with the support. When the external load is not high and is less than the designed threshold value, the bearing structural member may effectively suppress the deformation just like a rigid structural member; when the external load exceeds the designed threshold value, the bearing structural member may deform, and provide a stable counter supporting force less than the external load. The bearing structural member may be applied to the support, the joint assembly and the tube section assembly, plays a role in protecting the structures or key structural components, and may be widely applied to the fields of design of bridges, design of building structures, design of tunnels and the like.

Tools and techniques for a polymorphic query box operating on a computing device are described herein. The polymorphic query box application provides an adaptive query box via a single graphical user interface that detects an input scenario based on the type of input received via the polymorphic query box. In accordance with the detected scenario, the polymorphic query box dynamically changes appearance and function. In some implementations, the techniques include the polymorphic application ordering web search and/or translation based on the input being received. In some implementations, the techniques include providing context sensitive controls for input editing before completing the query.

Systems, methods, and computer media for providing alternative market search results are provided. A user search query in a first market is received. Search results relevant to the user search query are identified for the first market in a first language. A user intent to receive search results for the user search query for a second market and in a second language is determined. A search results page is presented that includes headings and search results for the first market in the first language as well as a search result toggle that includes a user-selectable option to present alternative search results for a second market in a second language. Selection of the option to present alternative search results causes search results for the second market and in the second language to be presented in the search results page along with the search results page headings in the first language.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for presenting video as at least a portion of the background of search engine home pages are provided. Upon receiving a request for presentation of a search engine home page, a static image is transmitted for presentation as at least a portion of the background for the search engine home page. Also transmitted is a streaming video file. The static image may or may not be associated with the streaming video file. After a predetermined amount of time, play of the streaming video file is initiated without user action, the streaming video file replacing the static image as at least a portion of the background of the search engine home page. In this way, the user receives a seamless transition from a static image to a video presentation and is provided a rich, immersive experience at the search engine home page.
