To locate images on the Internet, search engines like Yahoo or Google carry out their search based on text. The name or description that is sought is set in written form so that the search engine may carry out its function. view more (2004-05-25)
If at first you don't succeed, let the search engine try
No matter how good a search engine is, it is sometimes necessary to change the search terms to get the information you need. But what if you did not have to change the search terms yourself? What if the search engine could do that for you? view more (2009-06-08)
Ad click-through rate lower than previously thought
The rate of ad clicks from sponsored and non-sponsored links was reported in a recent study conducted by researchers from Penn State and the Queensland University of Technology. view more (2009-02-26)
Search engine experts look forwards to completely digital lives and backwards to Washington's letters
A conference at the University of Sheffield is set to celebrate ten years since the first Web search engines, and will reveal some of the capabilities of search engines of the future, and the way that our use of computers will lead them to new ways of archiving and retrieving information. Presentations at the conference will include ways that we... view more... (2004-07-23)
IU informatics researchers throttle notion of search engine dominance
Search engines are not biased toward popular Web sites, and may even be egalitarian in the way they direct traffic. view more (2006-08-08)
Adding more meaning from place searches
Trawling the web for place-related information is tedious at the best of times. A new search engine, being tested in Europe, recognises geographical terminology and has the intelligence to understand the searches and match them to places. view more (2005-02-14)
Researchers predict click-through behavior in Web searches
In the world of search engines, clicks mean cash, and in a sluggish economy, companies can benefit by maximizing click-throughs to their Web sites from search engines. view more (2009-03-11)
Swift searching for open source
Finding the open source code you need can often seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. But with the development of the AMOS search engine finding your way through today's maze of software code has just become considerably easier. Aimed at programmers and system integrators but with the potential to be used by a broader public, the AMOS... view more... (2004-07-20)
ESA and ANU make space propulsion breakthrough
The European Space Agency and the Australian National University have successfully tested a new design of spacecraft ion engine that dramatically improves performance over present thrusters and marks a major step forward in space propulsion capability. view more (2006-01-12)
University of Leicester engineers seek new way to control engine friction
An innovative engine testing rig is being developed in the Engineering Department at the University of Leicester. The rig will be used to study friction in engines, which is one of the main sources of inefficiency and energy loss. Frictional losses occur in all automotive engines, primarily in the piston system, the valve-train and the engine... view more... (2003-11-06)
Cleaner diesels thanks to laser light
Measuring soot formation in a diesel engine is far from easy. Due to the turbulent environment in the combustion cylinder, no two combustion cycles are the same. view more (2007-12-10)
An eco-friendly car engine that doesn't stall on performance
A novel type of engine which aims to use less fuel and reduce noxious emissions without detracting from the car's performance is being developed thanks to an investment of £93,500 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation that champions UK innovation. view more (2004-11-18)
Vulcain 2 engine now in full production
A small ceremony took place yesterday at the site of Snecma Moteurs in Vernon, France, to mark the beginning of industrial production of the Vulcain 2 engine, designed for the new Ariane 5 ECA and Ariane 5 ES ATV launchers. view more (2005-04-05)
First Cluster apogee burn completed
The long, complex process required to elongate the orbits of the first twoCluster spacecraft has begun. The Cluster mission control centre at the European Space Operations Centre(ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, has confirmed that the apogee raising manoeuvre #1was completed successfully early this afternoon. At 13.21 CEST today, the main engine of... view more... (2000-07-17)
Study shows Google favored over other search engines by webmasters
Web site policy makers who use robots.txt files as gatekeepers to specify what is open and what is off limits to Web crawlers have a bias that favors Google over other search engines, say Penn State researchers whose study of more than 7,500 Web sites revealed Google's advantage. view more (2007-11-16)
Iowa State engineer works to clean and improve engine performance
The five engines in Song-Charng Kong's Iowa State University laboratory have come a long way since Karl Benz patented a two-stroke internal combustion engine in 1879. view more (2008-09-18)
The mini that roared
ANTIPOLLUTION laws have taken all the fun out of driving, according to two American inventors who miss the meaty roar of engines. Their answer? A car radio that plays the throaty sound of the classic car of your choice in synch with your driving. So any rusting old hatchback can sound like a Ferrari, or even a... view more... (2002-09-20)
New metal alloys boost high-temperature heat treatment of jet engine components
Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree. view more (2007-07-25)
Online game feeds music search engine project at UC San Diego
UC San Diego electrical engineers and computer scientists are working together on a computerized system that will make it easy for people who are not music experts (like the senior author's mom) to find the kind of music they want to listen to - without knowing the names of artists or songs. view more (2007-09-26)
A new system preserves the right to privacy in Internet searches
A team of Catalan researchers has developed a protocol to distort the user profile generated by Internet search engines, in such a way that they cannot save the searches undertaken by Internet users and thus preserve their privacy. The study has been published in the Computer Communications magazine. view more (2009-11-06)
