20130268261 | SEMANTIC ENRICHMENT BY EXPLOITING TOP-K PROCESSING - Proper representation of the meaning of texts is crucial to enhancing many data mining and information retrieval tasks, including clustering, computing semantic relatedness between texts, and searching. Representing of texts in the concept-space derived from Wikipedia has received growing attention recently, due to its comprehensiveness and expertise. This concept-based representation is capable of extracting semantic relatedness between texts that cannot be deduced with the bag of words model. A key obstacle, however, for using Wikipedia as a semantic interpreter is that the sheer size of the concepts derived from Wikipedia makes it hard to efficiently map texts into concept-space. An efficient algorithm is proved which is able to represent the meaning of a text by using the concepts that best match it. In particular, this approach first computes the approximate top- concepts that are most relevant to the given text. These concepts are then leverage to represent the meaning of the given text. | 10-10-2013 |

20080310328 | CLIENT-SIDE ECHO CANCELLATION FOR MULTI-PARTY AUDIO CONFERENCING - A “Client-Side Echo Canceller” provides a unique system and method for reducing Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) computational overhead in a multi-point audio conference. In general, the local audio input signal of each client is transmitted in real-time to the MCU. The MCU then combines the audio input signals of all clients to create a single composite signal that is transmitted back to all clients in real-time. Each client then locally processes the composite signal to remove each client's local contribution to the composite signal prior to local playback in order to eliminate a local echo of each client's local audio input. In various embodiments, local cancellation of the local audio input from the composite signal is performed on either a time domain or a transform domain representation of the composite signal. Further, since each client receives the same signal, MCU transmission bandwidth can be reduced via multicast transmissions. | 12-18-2008 |

20120217472 | BROADBAND LIGHT EMITTING DIODES AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME - A III-Nitride semiconductor LED provides broadband light emission, across all or most of the visible light wavelength spectrum, and a method for producing same. The LED includes a polarization field management template that has a three-dimensional patterned surface. The surface may be patterned with an array of hemispherical cavities, which may be formed by growing the template around a temporary template layer of spherical or other crystals. The method involves growing a quantum well layer on the patterned surface. The topographical variations in the patterned surface of the template cause corresponding topographical variations in the quantum well layer. These variations in spatial orientation of portions of the quantum well layer cause the polarization field of the quantum well layer to vary across the surface of the LED, which leads to energy transition shifting that provides “white” light emission across a broad wavelength spectrum. | 08-30-2012 |
