| 20090192807 | Identification of specialty drugs - Methods for determining whether a drug is a specialty drug, methods for creating tools to be used in making the determination, and the tools themselves are disclosed. The overall value of a drug depends on the drug's attribute values with respect to each of a set of drug attributes (concerning, e.g., the drug's route of administration, targeted disease, possible adverse reactions, risk of toxicity, cost, need for patient compliance with the treatment regime, and handling, preparation, and/or storage requirements. If the overall value or its partial overall values meet certain criteria, the drug is deemed to be a specialty drug. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20090006066 | Method and System for Automatic Selection of Test Cases - A system for selecting a test case. A test case with a high score is selected. A simulation job is run on a device under test on a plurality of processors using the selected test case. Simulation performance and coverage data is collected for the selected test case and the collected simulation performance and coverage data is stored in a database. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090043559 | Hardware Verification Batch Computing Farm Simulator - The exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for calculating the expected behavior of a group of hardware verification test cases. Batch simulation parameters are configured. A test case is submitted for evaluation. Historical performance data for test cases associated with the submitted test case is gathered. A set of performance statistics for the submitted test case is generated based on the historical performance data and the configured batch simulation parameters. A set of values for the submitted test is generated based on the generated performance statistics for the submitted test case and the historical performance data. The generated set of values and the generated set of performance statistics for the submitted test case are displayed to a user. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090112552 | Method, System and Program Product for Reporting Temporal Information Regarding Count Events of a Simulation - At a simulation client, a design is simulated utilizing a hardware description language (HDL) simulation model by stimulating the HDL simulation model with a testcase. The HDL simulation model includes instrumentation not forming a portion of the design that includes a plurality of count event counters that count occurrences of count events in the design during stimulation by the testcase. At multiple intervals during stimulation of the HDL simulation model by the testcase, the simulation client records count values of the plurality of count event counters. The simulation client determines, for each of the multiple intervals, a temporal statistic regarding the count values of the plurality of count event counters and outputs a report containing temporal statistics for the multiple intervals. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090112561 | Method, System and Program Product for Defining and Recording Threshold-Qualified Count Events of a Simulation By Testcases - A design is simulated utilizing a hardware description language (HDL) simulation model by stimulating the HDL simulation model with a testcase. The HDL simulation model includes instrumentation not forming a portion of the design that includes a count event counter for a count event in the design, and the simulation includes counting occurrences of the count event in the count event counter to obtain a count event value. A threshold is also established for an aggregate count event value for the count event counter. After completion of the testcase, a determination is made whether addition of the count event value to the aggregate count event value for the count event counter would cause the aggregate count event value to exceed the threshold. If not, the count event value is recorded in a testcase data storage area, and the count event value is accumulated in the aggregate count event value. If so, the count event value is discarded without recording the count event value in the testcase data storage area. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20090059316 | Enhanced Scanner Design - Improved scanner designs are provided to improve imaging and reduce errors during the scanning process. Embodiments disclosed include, for example, the use of dual cameras to improve imagery and reduce the scanner enclosure size, synchronized lighting techniques during the scanning sequence, shielded lens for the camera scanner, a scanner enclosed on at least three sides, adjustments to scanner lighting based on the levels of ambient lighting, a combined branding and scanner apparatus, a gimbaled scanner mount, and a tilted platen with stop for document alignment. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090065574 | LOTTERY TICKET BAR CODE - Security can be provided for lottery tickets having data printed thereon in a bar code or other machine readable media by covering only a portion of the bar code with a scratch-off material. Removing the scratch-off material, or in some cases only a portion of the scratch-off material, can permit machine validation of the lottery tickets. For bar codes having a specified level of redundancy, it is desirable to cover at least enough of the bar code to prevent the machine reading of ticket validation data encoded in the bar code. Also, a lottery ticket can include a bar code printed on the ticket having both inventory and validation data along with a bar code printed on the front of the ticket including the validation data. All or part of the bar code printed on the front of the ticket can be covered by a scratch-off material. Also, the validation and redemption process can be expedited by having a player ticket checker read a ticket identifier printed on the lottery ticket so that this information can be checked and automatically entered in an agent terminal. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090163263 | Method and System for Multiple In-Lane Lottery Ticket Sales at a Retail Establishment - A lottery sales method and related system utilize an in-lane lottery sales computing device that is configured to interface with a point-of-sale terminal and determine when the point-of-sale terminal has identified a code corresponding to a desired lottery product. A request identifying the desired lottery product is transmitted to a lottery central system device used to administer and coordinate the sales of lottery products. | 06-25-2009 |

| 20100239118 | Optical Signature to Enable Image Correction - A method and system for performing document image correction using a document reader is disclosed. The method includes generating a document image representative of a document having a deformation; decoding an optical pattern embedded in the document from the document image to determine an optical signature for the document; receiving document classification data associated with the optical signature; and applying an image correction technique to the document image based on the document classification data to generate a corrected document image. A document capable of being read by a document reader is also disclosed. The document includes a substrate and an optical pattern embedded on the substrate. The optical pattern is part of a background pattern printed on the substrate. The optical pattern defines an optical signature unique to the particular class of document and is associated with document classification data for the document. | 09-23-2010 |
