20090241089 | Converting a First Graphical Program into a Second Graphical Program Using an Intermediate Abstract Representation - System and method for programmatically generating a second graphical program associated with a second programming development environment based on a first graphical program associated with a first programming development environment. The second graphical program may be generated programmatically, without relying on user input, or may prompt for user input to determine various options to use in generating the second graphical program. The second graphical program may implement the functionality of, or a portion of the functionality of, the first graphical program. The method preferably generates the second graphical program such that the second programming development environment is operable to treat the second graphical program identically to a graphical program interactively developed by a user using the second programming development environment. Thus, once the second graphical program has been generated, the user may use the second programming development environment to edit the second graphical program, execute the second graphical program, etc. | 09-24-2009 |
20090292511 | Controlling or Analyzing a Process by Solving A System of Linear Equations in Real-Time - System and method for controlling/analyzing a process by solving a system of linear equations in real-time. Linear equations that model the process are stored. In an off-line stage a partitioning strategy is determined based on the linear equations, including determining groups of values for recursively partitioning a set of values measured and/or computed from the process. In an on-line stage: current process data are received from the process, including measurements from the process, and composing a set of values; the linear equations are recursively solved for a first group of the set, where the first group partitions the set into respective subsets of values, and where the recursively solving produces solved values for respective first groups of the set/subset of values; the linear equations are solved for remaining unsolved values in the set, thereby producing solved values for the set, which are stored and are useable to control/analyze the process. | 11-26-2009 |
20110087468 | Approximating a System Using an Abstract Geometrical Space - System and method for approximating a system. A multi-parameter representation of a family of systems is stored. An embedding of the family into an abstract geometrical continuous space with a metric and defined by the parameters is determined. Coordinates of the space specify values for the parameters of systems of the family. The space includes a grid of points representing respective discrete approximations of the systems. A first point corresponding to a desired instance of a system is determined. The first point's coordinates specify values for the parameters of the instance. The space is sampled using a mapping of a well-distributed point set from a Euclidean space of the parameters to the abstract space. A nearest discrete point to the first point is determined which specifies values for parameters for an optimal discrete approximation of the desired instance, which are useable to implement the discrete approximation of the desired instance. | 04-14-2011 |
20110318724 | EQUATION-BASED ASSESSMENT GRADING METHOD AND PARTICIPANT RESPONSE SYSTEM EMPLOYING SAME - A computerized assessment grading method comprises creating a syntax tree for a received equation-based response to at least one assessment question and a syntax tree for at least one solution to the at least one question, comparing the syntax trees, and grading the response based on the results of the comparison. | 12-29-2011 |
20130196330 | Identifying Microparticles in a Plurality of Images to Perform Polynucleotide Sequencing - Performing sequencing of a polynucleotide. A first image of microparticles that are distributed in a random fashion on a substrate may be received. Each of the microparticles may include a plurality of similar oligonucleotides of the polynucleotide. A second image of the microparticles may be received. A plurality of first subportions of the first image may be determined. Each subportion may include a respective plurality of microparticles distributed in a random fashion. The second image may be analyzed to identify a plurality of second subportions in the second image. Each of the plurality of second subportions may correspond to a respective one of the plurality of first subportions. A plurality of the microparticles may be matched from the first and second images based on said analyzing. At least a portion of the sequence of nucleotides of the polynucleotide may be determined based on said matching. | 08-01-2013 |

20090074299 | INCREASING ACCURACY OF DISCRETE CURVE TRANSFORM ESTIMATES FOR CURVE MATCHING IN FOUR OR MORE DIMENSIONS - System and method for estimating a rotational shift between a first discrete curve and a second discrete curve, where the second discrete curve is a rotationally shifted version of the first discrete curve. First and second discrete curves are received. A rotational shift between the first discrete curve and the second discrete curve is estimated based on the first discrete curve and the second discrete curve. A cumulative rotational shift is updated based on the estimated rotational shift. A rotationally shifted version of the second discrete curve is generated based on the cumulative rotational shift. The estimating, updating, and generating are performed in an iterative manner using the respective rotationally shifted discrete curve for each iteration until a stopping condition occurs, thereby determining a final estimate of the rotational shift between the first discrete curve and the second discrete curve. The final estimate may be used to perform curve matching. | 03-19-2009 |

20130324111 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK PERFORMANCE ANOMALY EVENTS DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION - In order to provide an early and more accurate determination of network problems, current NPI OMs are compared with samples of recent historical NPI OMs so that changes in the NPI OM are detected based on current overall network conditions rather than on conditions that may have existed at statistically insignificant earlier operational periods. By constantly adjusting a performance threshold, against which the current NPI OM is compared, by using a smaller and very recent sampling of NPIs (in the case of sudden and abrupt performance-NPI degradation detection) or a larger and greater number of NPIs over a wider time priod (in the case of slow and persistent NPI degradation detection) to establish the threshold, detection results are more accurate and meaningful. | 12-05-2013 |

20090152718 | STRUCTURE WITH DIE PAD PATTERN - A structure includes a semiconductor die that has an arrangement of die pads on a surface of the semiconductor die. A first row of die pads consists of a first group of four die pads and run in a first direction. A second row of die pads are adjacent to the first row and consist of a second group of four die pads running in the first direction. The second row begins at a first offset in the first direction from where the first row begins. A third row of die pads are adjacent to the second row and comprise a third group of four die pads that run in the first direction. The third row begins at a second offset in the first direction from where the second row begins. This allows for relatively easy access to all of the die pads. | 06-18-2009 |
