Described herein is a system and method for associating process priority with I/O queuing. The system can receive a first I/O request from a first process; store the first I/O request in an I/O queue; receive a second I/O request from a second process; store the second I/O request in the I/O queue; and sort the I/O queue based, at least in part, on a first priority of the first process and a second priority of the second process.

A metaverse system and method for allowing a user to attend a recorded past event in a metaverse application. The metaverse system includes a client computer, a metaverse server, and a time travel engine. The client computer interfaces with the metaverse application. The metaverse server records an event environment of a past event in a metaverse application. The time travel engine serves, in response to a request from a user, a playback of the recorded event environment to the client computer… Show more

In a method for searching for a previously visited web page, a first computer receives a plurality of search parameters from a second computer. The plurality of search parameters include a parameter identifying a characteristic of an element of a previously visited web page and a parameter identifying a weight of confidence in a recollection of a user that the element has the characteristic. The first computer searches for the characteristic of the element in a database including one or more… Show more

In a method for searching for a previously visited web page, a first computer receives a plurality of search parameters from a second computer. The plurality of search parameters include a parameter identifying a characteristic of an element of a previously visited web page and a parameter identifying a weight of confidence in a recollection of a user that the element has the characteristic. The first computer searches for the characteristic of the element in a database including one or more characteristics of elements of indexed web pages. The first computer finds a match between the characteristic of the element and a characteristic of an element of an indexed web page of the indexed web pages. The first computer creates a list including an identification of the indexed web page. The first computer sends the list to the second computer. Show less

A method for managing observable information in a front of a vehicle and providing a representation of the information to a rear of the vehicle in the form of a local optical signal is disclosed. The method comprising monitoring, at the vehicle, a remote signal, the remote signal being one selected from the group consisting of: interrupted, changed brightness and steady; determining a status of the monitored remote signal; determining a distance between a vehicle transmitting the remote signal… Show more

A method for managing observable information in a front of a vehicle and providing a representation of the information to a rear of the vehicle in the form of a local optical signal is disclosed. The method comprising monitoring, at the vehicle, a remote signal, the remote signal being one selected from the group consisting of: interrupted, changed brightness and steady; determining a status of the monitored remote signal; determining a distance between a vehicle transmitting the remote signal and said vehicle; determining a speed of the vehicle; determining an action responsive to the monitored signal status, the determined distance and the speed, activating a local signal in response to the action, the action causing at least one of an interruption of the local signal at a first known rate and a changed brightness; initiating the local optical signal in response to a local action at the vehicle, wherein the initiation causing at least one of an interruption of the local signal at a second known rate and a changed brightness of the local optical signal, the activation of the local optical signal supplementing any initiation of the local optical signal, wherein a condition of interruption of the local optical signal at the second known rate inhibits the supplemental activation of the local optical signal.
