| 20100142832 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DOCUMENT IMAGE CLASSIFICATION - A method of classifying an input image includes the initial steps of labeling an input image in accordance with a class and extracting at least one connected component from the input image. The method also includes the steps of calculating at least one feature of the input image and generating a model based on the at least one calculated feature. The method also includes the steps of repeating at least one of the previous steps for at least one other input image and comparing the at least one other input image with the model. The at least one other input image is classified in accordance with the class of the model if the at least one calculated feature of the at least one other input image is substantially similar to that of the model. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090222411 | LOCATION DESCRIPTION FOR FEDERATION AND DISCOVERABILITY - System and methods for directing a federated search using a location description file to locate a data source are provided. For a federated search, a location description may be used to describe the location of each data source searched, and may further be used to connect the user to that particular data source. The format of such a location description file may include several elements, some of which provide information on how to display the file (e.g., name, description, author, icon link, etc.) and other elements (e.g., simple location, location type, etc.) are used to connect the user to the location of the data source. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090248706 | SCHEMA FOR FEDERATED SEARCHING - Embodiments of the present invention provide a schema to describe the structure of a data store that may be used to query the data store. The schema may include a property description describing static and contextual attributes of a property of the data store. The schema may also include a property reference describing contextual attributes of a property of the data store, while referencing static attributes from a property description in another schema. In some instances, the schema may further describe item types and/or kinds for the data store. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090248728 | AGGREGATING SCHEMA DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES - Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for aggregating schema data from two or more schemas are provided. Embodiments 1of the present invention include receiving schema definitions for two or more schemas. An aggregated property description for an individual property that is common to the two or more schemas may be created. The aggregated property description includes property attribute values that are the same for the property description in both schemas. Where the attribute values are different, rules may be applied to determine which attribute value to include in the aggregated property description. In one embodiment, the less capable of the two different attribute values is included in the aggregated property description. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090327226 | LIBRARY DESCRIPTION OF THE USER INTERFACE FOR FEDERATED SEARCH RESULTS - Methods and computer-readable media are provided for performing a federated search using a library description file to locate multiple data sources. For a federated search, a library description can be used to describe a set of data sources searched, and may further be used to describe how search results should be presented to a user. The format of such a library description file can include multiple elements, some of which provide information on how to display the library and others that define which data sources are included in the library. The library description file can be created according to library description template. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20100123446 | Feed-Forward Compensation for a Hysteretic Switching Regulator - One embodiment of the invention includes a hysteretic power regulator system. The system includes a switching stage configured to periodically couple an input voltage to an inductor in response to a control signal to generate an output voltage. The system also includes a hysteretic control stage configured to generate the control signal based on a comparison of a feedback voltage associated with the output voltage and a predetermined reference voltage. The system also includes a feed-forward stage configured to generate a feed-forward ramp voltage in response to the control signal. The feed-forward ramp voltage can be added to the feedback voltage to set a frequency of the control signal. The system further includes a compensation stage configured to cancel a DC error associated with the feed-forward ramp voltage relative to the feedback voltage to substantially mitigate errors associated with the output voltage. | 05-20-2010 |

| 20080201850 | Positioning platform for prone breast imaging - Embodiments include a platform allowing the female breast to be imaged by PET/CT, SPECT, and/or other modalities, while the patient is lying in the prone position. In some embodiments, a cushioned base may support the patient's torso, and articulating head and arm rests may extend from the base. A pair of open-sided lateral openings in the base allows the patient's breasts to hang independently. The articulating head and arm rests may be lockable into a fixed position and may be unlocked and returned to the original locked position. The base may be constructed of a composite material and covered with a cushioning material, with an optional adjustable, pneumatic layer in between. The cushioning material may be form-molded foam or other material. The platform may be attached to an existing PET gantry table via attachment means that allows the platform to be removed and afterward identically repositioned with respect to the gantry table for subsequent imaging. | 08-28-2008 |
