Dec 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/433605

Inventors:

Jacob Green - Baltimore MD, US
John Schultz - Baltimore MD, US

Assignee:

The Johns Hopkins University - Baltimore MD

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707 3, 707 6, 707 10

Abstract:

A dynamic-content web crawler is disclosed. These New Crawlers (NCs) are located at points between the server and user, and monitor content from said points, for example by proxying the web traffic or sniffing the traffic as it goes by. Web page content is recursively parsed into subcomponents. Sub-components are fingerpinted with a cyclic redundancy check code or other loss-full compression in order to be able to detect recurrence of the sub-component in subsequent pages. Those sub-components which persist in the web traffic, as measured by the frequency NCs () are defined as having substantive content of interest to data-mining applications. Where a substantive content sub-component is added to or removed from a web page, then this change is significant and is sent to a duplication filter () so that if multiple NCs () detect a change in a web page only one announcement of the changed URL will be broadcast to data-mining applications (). The NC () identifies substantive content sub-components which repeatably are part of a page pointed to by a URL. Provision is also made for limiting monitoring to pages having a flag authorizing discovery of the page by a monitor.

International Classification:

H01P 1/10
H01P 5/12

US Classification:

333104000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an electrical space switch matrix having m input ports and n output ports, the switch matrix comprising (m.n)/(i.j) switch blocks, each having i input ports and j output ports, where i is less than m and j is less than n; and a plurality of input elements and a plurality of output elements, the plurality of input elements and plurality of output elements being arranged so as to connect the switch blocks to the input and output ports of the switch matrix. In an embodiment of the invention, the input and output elements can be power splitters and power combiners respectively and are arranged so as to include crossover connection paths therebetween, with the result that crossover of connection paths is distributed between the power dividing/combining function and the switching function.
