| 20100096504 | STRUCTURAL ELEMENT FOR COVERING AN ELONGATE GAP ON AN AERODYNAMIC SURFACE OF AN AIRCRAFT - A covering structural element is adapted to close an elongate gap provided on an aerodynamic surface of an aircraft. Such an element has a strip-shaped body made of metal material, including a fixing portion, adapted to be fixed along one of the longitudinal borders of the elongate gap; a sliding portion adapted to urge in a sliding manner on the other of the longitudinal borders of the strip-shaped gap; and a connection portion, connecting the sliding portion to the fixing portion, the thickness of which is so sized as to allow, in use, a controlled elastic bending of the structural covering element. The covering structural element has a profile so sized as to be tapered at the transition from the fixing portion to the connection portion and from the sliding portion to the connection portion, the covering structural element having a smooth surface on the side intended to face away from the elongate gap. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20100073034 | CIRCUIT FOR COMPARING AN INPUT CURRENT WITH A THRESHOLD CURRENT - A circuit is for generating a signal that indicates whether or not an input current exceeds a pre-established threshold current and, in the affirmative case, that is representative of the difference between the input current and the threshold current. The circuit includes a diode-connected transistor biased with a first constant current in a saturation functioning condition, a sense transistor mirrored to the diode-connected transistor and biased in a linear (triode) functioning condition, a load transistor connected in series to the sense transistor, biased with a second constant current and the control terminal of which is connected in common with the respective terminals of the diode-connected transistor and of the sense transistor. The input current to be compared is injected to a common current node of the load transistor and of the sense transistor, and the output voltage is available on the other current node of the load transistor. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090043593 | Event Prediction - There are many situations in which it is desired to predict outcomes of events. In an example, an event prediction system is described which receives variables for a proposed event. The system accesses learnt statistics describing belief about weights associated with the variables and uses the weights to determine probability information that the proposed event will have a specified outcome. The process involves combining the accessed statistics and mapping them into a number representing the probability. In another example, a machine learning process using assumed density filtering is used to learn the statistics from data about observed events. The event prediction system may be used as part of any suitable type of system such as an internet advertising system, an email filtering system, or a fraud detection system. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100070435 | Computationally Efficient Probabilistic Linear Regression - A computationally efficient method of performing probabilistic linear regression is described. In an embodiment, the method involves adding a white noise term to a weighted linear sum of basis functions and then normalizing the combination. This generates a linear model comprising a set of sparse, normalized basis functions and a modulated noise term. When using the linear model to perform linear regression, the modulated noise term increases the variance associated with output values which are distant from any data points. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100262568 | Scalable Clustering - A scalable clustering system is described. In an embodiment the clustering system is operable for extremely large scale applications where millions of items having tens of millions of features are clustered. In an embodiment the clustering system uses a probabilistic cluster model which models uncertainty in the data set where the data set may be for example, advertisements which are subscribed to keywords, text documents containing text keywords, images having associated features or other items. In an embodiment the clustering system is used to generate additional features for associating with a given item. For example, additional keywords are suggested which an advertiser may like to subscribe to. The additional features that are generated have associated probability values which may be used to rank those features in some embodiments. User feedback about the generated features is received and used to revise the feature generation process in some examples. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20110156720 | PORTABLE PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETECTION DEVICE - A partial discharge detection device for detecting and measuring partial discharges in electric systems or components, which delivers signals having a form much resembling that of the radiated pulse, for improved identification and analysis. The device is of small size, totally insulated and self-powered, and allows measurements to be performed with the highest safety with no need for direct connection, thereby allowing operators to stand at a distance and avoid any system shutdown while making measurements. Furthermore, it can also detect and deliver the sync signal, which is obtained by picking up the supply voltage of the discharge generating components. | 06-30-2011 |
