20150066946 | Selectively Retrieving Search Results in Accordance with Different Logical Relationships - A search server system having one or more processors and memory receives a search query including filter criteria. The filter criteria specify operands and a logical relationship. In response to the search query the server identifies index portions sorted in a same sort order. The server identifies matching entities that match the search query by identifying index entries having a first identifier and matching filter(s) of a first operand and identifying, index entries having a second identifier that is sequentially adjacent to the first identifier in the sort order and matching filter(s) of a second operand. When index portion(s) associated with the first operand include index entries having a respective identifier between the first identifier and the second identifier and matching the filter(s) of the first operand, the server marks a respective entity associated with the respective identifier as matching the search query and sends search results to the client. | 03-05-2015 |

20090060134 | SCHLIEREN-TYPE RADIOGRAPHY USING A LINE SOURCE AND FOCUSING OPTICS - A system for observing the internal features of an object, such that the object's internal absorption, refraction, reflection and/or scattering properties are visualized, is disclosed. An embodiment may include one or more beams of penetrating radiation, an object with internal features to be imaged, a single or an array of radiation optics, and a detection system for capturing the resultant shadowgraph images. The beam(s) of radiation transmitted through the object typically originate from a line-shaped source(s), which has high spatial purity along the narrow axis, and low spatial purity in the perpendicular, long axis. In the long axis, radiation optic(s) capture and focus diverging rays exiting from the object to form a high resolution image of the object, without which optic(s) the shadowgraph would have blurring in this axis. Such shadowgraph is naturally well defined in the opposite axis of narrow beam origin and can reveal an object's refraction, reflection and/or scattering properties along that axis. An embodiment may also include discriminators (stops, phase shifters, analyzer crystals, etc.) in the beam exiting the object. An embodiment may also include mechanisms for scanning whereby a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image of a large object is made possible. An embodiment may also include an image of an object's internal features being derived from an analysis of the radiation and/or radiation waveform exiting the object. | 03-05-2009 |
