20080212882Pattern Encoded Dictionaries - The present invention is related to a method and system providing a pattern-classifier encoded dictionary for use in language processing systems implemented in computer systems. The pattern encoded dictionary according to the present invention may be utilized in Optical Character Recognition systems or (OCR) or Automatic Speech Recognition systems (ASR) to retrieve reliably identified words used in an adaptive manner or as a tool to configure said OCR or ASR system.09-04-2008
20090016606METHOD, SYSTEM, DIGITAL CAMERA AND ASIC FOR GEOMETRIC IMAGE TRANSFORMATION BASED ON TEXT LINE SEARCHING - The present invention provides a method, system and/or a digital camera providing a geometrical transformation of deformed images of documents comprising text, by text line tracking, resulting in an image comprising parallel text lines. The transformed image is provided as an input to an OCR program either running in a computer system or in a processing element comprised in said digital camera.01-15-2009
20090067756METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VERIFICATION OF UNCERTAINLY RECOGNIZED WORDS IN AN OCR SYSTEM - The present invention provides a method and system for confirming uncertainly recognized words as reported by an Optical Character Recognition process by using spelling alternatives as search arguments for an Internet search engine. The measured number of hits for each spelling alternative is used to provide a confirmation measure for the most probable spelling alternative. Whenever the confirmation measure is inconclusive, a plurality of search strategies are used to reach a measured result comprising zero hits except for one spelling alternative that is used as the correct alternative.03-12-2009
20110026813RELATIVE THRESHOLD AND USE OF EDGES IN OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION PROCESS - Converting images to binary image representations is part of an Optical Character Recognition program in a computer system. The method and system according to present invention is using a relative threshold level to convert the image to its binary image representation.02-03-2011

Maxime Carlin, Flitwick GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090087572A METHOD OF FORMING A THERMAL PROTECTIVE COATING ON A SUPER ALLOY METAL SUBSTRATE - A method of forming a gas turbine part includes forming a bonding underlayer on a superalloy metal substrate, the underlayer including an intermetallic compound of aluminum, nickel, and platinum, and forming a ceramic outer layer on the alumina film formed on the bonding underlayer. The bonding underlayer essentially comprises an Ni—Pt—Al ternary system constituted by an aluminum-enriched α-NiPt type structure, in particular an Ni—Pt—Al ternary system having a composition Ni04-02-2009

20090092753METHOD OF ALUMINIZATION IN THE VAPOR PHASE ON HOLLOW METAL PARTS OF A TURBOMACHINE - A method of aluminization by deposit in the vapor phase for protection against oxidation at high temperature of a metal part of a turbomachine. The part includes a cavity with an opening that can be accessed from the outside. A halide is formed by reaction between a halogen and a metal donor containing aluminum, then the halide is transported by a carrier gas to come into contact with the metal part, the metal donor being placed at least partly in the cavity. The metal donor is in the form of a pellet obtained by hot sintering under pressure of a mixture of metal powder.04-09-2009
20090092826PROCESS FOR THE VAPOR PHASE ALUMINIZATION OF A TURBOMACHINE METAL PART AND DONOR LINER AND TURBOMACHINE VANE COMPRISING SUCH A LINER - An aluminization process by vapor phase deposition for high-temperature oxidation protection of a metal turbomachine part. The part including a cavity into which a metal component is introduced and assembled from an opening in the part. A halide is formed by reaction between a halogen and a metal donor containing aluminum, then the halide is transported by a carrier gas in order to come into contact with the metal part, wherein the metal component has first, before the implementation of the process, been surface-enriched with aluminum in order to serve as an aluminum donor.04-09-2009

20110289118MAPPING DOCUMENTS TO A RELATIONAL DATABASE TABLE WITH A DOCUMENT POSITION COLUMN - Architecture that maps document data (e.g., XML-extended markup language) into columns of one table, thereby avoiding schema normalization problems through special data storage. Moreover, an algorithm is described that can translate a query (e.g., in XPath (XML path language), a query language for navigating through document elements and attributes of an XML document) into a relational algebra query of the document column representation. Based on the characteristics of the new mapping, query rewriting rules are provided that optimize the relational algebra query by minimizing the number of joins. The mapping of XML documents to the table is based on a summary structure and a hierarchical labeling scheme (e.g., ordpath) to enable a high-fidelity representation. Annotations are employed on the summary structure nodes to assist in mapping XML elements and attributes to the table.11-24-2011

20110087649SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING PREMIUM CONTENT ITEMS IN A RESULT SET - The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for identifying premium content items (such as video content items) that are responsive to a query. According to one embodiment, a method for identifying one or more items of video content responsive to a given query comprises receiving a query comprising one or more terms from a given user, identifying one or more items of video content responsive to the received query and generating a result set comprising one or more links to the one or more items of video content responsive to the received query. The one or more links in the result set associated with items of premium video content are identified and the one or more links in the result set associated with items of premium video content are filtered on the basis of information associated with the user from which the query was received.04-14-2011
