20110268767	USE OF ALLOGENEIC CELL LINES TO LOAD ANTIGEN-PRESENTING CELLS TO ELICIT OR ELIMINATE IMMUNE RESPONSES - Novel antigen-presenting cells, including but not limited to dendritic cells, that are loaded with antigens from dead or dying cells including allogenic cell lines, and the methods for making such antigen-presenting cells are described. These loaded antigen-presenting cells induce therapeutic immune responses in humans. Such loaded antigen-presenting cells are useful in the management of cancer. Antigen-loaded dendritic cells prepared as described here can prime naïve T cells to differentiate into effector cells able to recognize multiple and/or shared tumor antigens that are expressed either on the tumor cells that are used to load the dendritic cells and/or on other tumor cells. The cytotoxic T cells generated by exposure to antigen-loaded dendritic cells prepared as described here can be used in adoptive therapy. This induction of responses against multiple antigens shared between different cells, for instance tumor cells, as described here is important as it leads to broad immune responses.	11-03-2011

20090092318	ONE-SCREEN RECONCILIATION OF BUSINESS DOCUMENT IMAGE DATA, OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION EXTRACTED DATA, AND ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING DATA - Systems and methods of reconciling data from an imaged document. In one embodiment, a business document is scanned to create a business document image. A set of extracted data is extracted from the business document image via optical character recognition (OCR). The set of OCR extracted data is then compared with data in business information management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. A set of ERP data is retrieved from the ERP system that relates to the set of OCR extracted data. The retrieved ERP data is than assigned to the set of OCR extracted data to create a set of assigned data. The business document image is then displayed in a business document image pane, the set of OCR extracted data is displayed in the OCR data pane, and the retrieved ERP data is displayed in the ERP data pane. The set of assigned data is validated, and the ERP system is updated with the set of validated, assigned data. In other embodiments, data is extracted from text files without using OCR.	04-09-2009
20090092320	DOCUMENT RECOGNITION USING STATIC AND VARIABLE STRINGS TO CREATE A DOCUMENT SIGNATURE - Systems and methods of recognizing a business document and creating a document signature. In one embodiment, a business document is scanned and a business document image is created. The business document image is compared to a template database. If a matching template is found, document fields are defined and extracted. If no matching document template is found, the document image is compared to a skeleton database. If a matching document skeleton in found, document fields are defined and extracted. A document skeleton is generated and then stored in the template database. If no matching document skeletons are found in the skeleton database, document fields are manually extracted. A document skeleton is then generated from the identification of static and variable strings and stored in the skeleton database. Document fields are validated after all document fields have been extracted.	04-09-2009
20110010356	DIGITAL DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Embodiments of the invention relate to a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) digital document management system (“DDMS”). The DDMS is located remotely from an office building or other place of business on a remote server. The server is connected to one or more databases for storing digital documents or information extracted from the digital documents. A user populates the DDMS by sending digital documents to the server using a computer, an email-enabled scanner, or the like. When a digital document is received at the server, the document is routed to a customer pending queue, information from the digital document is extracted, the digital document is stored in a directory, and the extracted information is stored in a relational database. The extracted information is supplemented or corrected as necessary using a web portal which allows a user to access the digital document and the extracted information. The digital document and the extracted information are then sent to a first destination such as an archive or mail-on-demand (e.g., a mail and print service).	01-13-2011
20110211212	DOCUMENT PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION USING CUSTOMIZED PROCESS PRINT DRIVERS - Systems and methods for automated processing and distribution of documents using a customized print driver. The customized print driver is accessed using a program application running on an Internet-enabled or networkable device. Unlike conventional print drivers which output print file from an application program to, for example, a laser printer, the customized print drivers combine a print file from the application program with specific processing and distribution parameters or preferences (i.e., a macro). The macro includes, among other things, preferences related to transport medium, transport options, and contact information. By combining the print file of the application program with the macro using a customized print driver, documents are able to be electronically prepared, processed, and distributed efficiently and with minimal user intervention.	09-01-2011
20120016832	AUTOMATED DOCUMENT SEPARATION - Systems and methods for automated document separation. The system includes a host device that is configured to communicate with one or more client devices over a network. The host device includes a splitting module, a correction module, a knowledge base, and a document store. The splitting module is configured to perform a multi-level document splitting. Pages are grouped into documents based on, for example, the sender information, the lack of sender information, and whether the sender is known. Following the initial separation, the splitting module performs an automatic correction of the initial document separation based on information stored within the knowledge base. The knowledge base is updated each time a document is processed and a user provides feedback related to whether the documents were successfully separated. Based on the success or failure of a particular document separation, the knowledge base evaluates the modifications made by a user to learn from the errors made during document separation.	01-19-2012
