Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080263022SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING AND DISPLAYING TEXT-BASED INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN DOCUMENTS ON A DATABASE - This invention provides a system method for search and displaying text-based documents, based upon user-input search terms that organizes and displays documentary search results in a series of clusters of documents that have been sorted in a manner that relates to the general relevance of those documents to the search terms. In particular, this system and method allows for the searching of large databases of related documents by utilizing citations between those documents to improve search efficiency as well as visualization of search results. The document databases (DD) are used to generate a document connectivity index (DCI), of which a copy is stored on (or remotely accessed by) the client computer. The client issues a search request to a DD server, which returns a list of matching documents. The client compares this list against the DCI to generate a sorted list of document clusters. Using a graphical interface, the user can view and navigate these clusters to identify and view documents of interest. The clusters can be displayed as nodes in which each document is a node and the selected (or, by default, highest ranking) document/node is centered on the screen with linked documents placed around it with appropriate link lines (the surrounding node-and-link display). Each node can be activated to re-centered the nod-and-link display and show the underlying document text body.10-23-2008

20080285628COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLED VEHICLES - A remote controller and a remotely controlled vehicle employ, at least in part, frequency hopping spread spectrum communications to communicate information between them. The remote controller transmits information for controlling the remotely controlled vehicle on substantially all of the frequencies of a hop sequence established by the two devices, but only transmits information indicative of the established communications between the devices on a subset of the frequencies of the sequence, the subset of frequencies comprising less than substantially all of the frequencies of the sequence. Additionally, the remote controller continues to transmit the information for controlling the remotely controlled vehicle on substantially all of the frequencies of the sequence even if the remotely controlled vehicle loses communication with the remote controller. A mathematical function is applied to identifiers associated with each device to generate an identifier representative of the established communications link between them.11-20-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120066109SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DERIVING DATA - Best bid and best offer rate data from deals concluded on an anonymous trading system in a fungible instrument such as a foreign currency pair are processed to derive indicative rates. A minimum indicative rates spread between bid and offer prices is defined. The indicative rate bide and offer prices are set to the received best bid and offer prices and alternatively an amount is added to the indicative offer rates and subtracted from the indicative bid rates until the spread between the indicative bid and offer rates is greater than or equal to the predefined minimum indicative rates spread and greater than the spread between the best bid and offer prices.03-15-2012
