| 20110219016 | Stream Mining via State Machine and High Dimensionality Database - A system and method for stream mining using state machines and high-dimensionality databases. After a data stream is digitized, a stream analyzer searches a high-dimensionality data structure containing state machine parameters to determine which state machines to activate and execute. A signal classifier creates the state machine parameters stored in the high-dimensionality data structure using a second high-dimensionality data structure programmed with information about signals of interest. If a state machine identifies a signal of interest, the system can optionally alert the user. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110219037 | High-Performance Persistence Framework - A high-performance object database wherein an application fetches an object from a database and the high-performance persistence framework constructs the object in memory. The database is programmed with a class that allows the application to selectively activate objects referenced by the class rather than automatically activate all referenced objects. The application selectively activates these referenced objects using read or write methods depending on whether the objects will be modified. Upon completion of the transaction, only those objects that were modified are written to disk. This high-performance persistence framework provides an object database capable of storing a large number of interconnected objects on disk and accessing them without having to activate all of the connected objects while simultaneously indexing the objects in a large number of independent dimensions all at once for fast data retrieval with complex queries. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20100011281 | SYSTEMS AND MEHTODS FOR ANNOTATING PAGES OF A 3D ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT - To annotate a three-dimensional electronic document, a user specifies, on a two-dimensional screen, a portion of a page of a three-dimensional document as a specified page area to be annotated by making a stroke. The annotation may be displayed to the user by a hybrid technique where the annotation is displayed by a 3D polyline segment placed behind the near clipping plane of a virtual camera frustum. At the same time, previous annotations are displayed by another technique, such as, for example, the texture coloring technique. During the intermittent time between the stroke and another stroke the 3D polyline segment is removed from behind the near clipping plane and the page texture is updated with the annotation data. The display techniques support highlighting annotations, free-form annotations, and text annotations. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100057716 | System And Method For Providing A Topic-Directed Search - A system and method for providing a topic-directed search is provided, which advantageously harnesses user-provided topical indexes and an ability to characterize indexes according to how articles fall under their topical organizations. A corpus of articles and an index that includes topics from the articles is maintained. For each topic, a coarse-grained topic model is built, which includes the characteristic words included in the articles relating to the topic and scores assigned to the characteristic words. A search query is executed against the index. The topics that match the search terms are chosen by their scores. The topics that match the coarse-grained topic models and the articles corresponding to the search query are presented. In contrast to conventional search engines, search results are organized according to topic and search results can be offered across multiple indexes, where part of returned results are selected from most-relevant indexes with their most-relevant topics. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20100077352 | System And Method For Redistributing Interest In A Hierarchical Data Structure Representation - A system and method for redistributing interest in a hierarchical data structure representation is provided. A data representation of a hierarchical data structure includes depth levels having one or more blocks of sibling nodes associated with node interest characteristics. Two or more of the sibling nodes are combined as aggregates into elided subsets. One of the elided subsets is selected and expanded to reveal the aggregated sibling nodes. A breadth of the depth level in which the block is located is determined. A further determination that the breadth exceeds a constrained breadth extent for the data representation is made. The breadth is decreased by ordering the sibling nodes in the depth level by their node interest characteristic and by combining at least a portion of the sibling nodes into the elided subset based on the respective node interest characteristics such that the breadth does not exceed the constrained breadth extent. | 03-25-2010 |
