| 20080230985 | FLEXIBLE PAPER PATH USING MULTIDIRECTIONAL PATH MODULES - A modular flexible media handling apparatus includes an input module ( | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080250329 | Method and system for the collaborative analysis of information - Methods and systems for enabling the collaborative exchange and analysis of information are provided. Exemplary embodiments provide for the editing of information maintained in associated information units that may be distributed in parallel to a plurality of collaborative users. The information units may be distributed and retrieved with lightweight transport protocols. The information units obtained from multiple sources are automatically aligned and combined. Editing and display methods and systems further provide organizational and filtering tools. The information units may be redistributed and further collected in an iterative fashion. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090187467 | LINGUISTIC EXTRACTION OF TEMPORAL AND LOCATION INFORMATION FOR A RECOMMENDER SYSTEM - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that recommends activities. During operation, the system receives a piece of content obtained from text or converted to text from speech. The system then analyzes the received content to identify any activity type, indication of willingness to participate in any type of activities, and at least one piece of temporal information, which can be implicitly and/or explicitly stated in the content, and/or one piece of location information associated with the activity type. The system further recommends one or more activities, venues, and/or services that afford or support activities for a user based on the information extracted from the content. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100147686 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORTING PARTICLES - Various particle transport systems and components for use in such systems are described. The systems utilize one or more traveling wave grids to selectively transport, distribute, separate, or mix different populations of particles. Numerous systems configured for use in two dimensional and three dimensional particle transport are described. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100147687 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORTING PARTICLES - Various particle transport systems and components for use in such systems are described. The systems utilize one or more traveling wave grids to selectively transport, distribute, separate, or mix different populations of particles. Numerous systems configured for use in two dimensional and three dimensional particle transport are described. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100147691 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORTING PARTICLES - Various particle transport systems and components for use in such systems are described. The systems utilize one or more traveling wave grids to selectively transport, distribute, separate, or mix different populations of particles. Numerous systems configured for use in two dimensional and three dimensional particle transport are described. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100161639 | Complex Queries for Corpus Indexing and Search - Computer methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture therefor, are disclosed for developing a complex-query pattern that is transformed into a region-matching transducer. A corpus-level transducer and the region matching transducer are combined. The combined transducer is applied to a corpus to identify strings therein that satisfy patterns defined in the corpus-level transducer, including the complex-query pattern, with each identified pattern being recorded in a corpus index. The corpus and the corpus index are made available for receiving a query with the query tag for querying the corpus and applying the query using the corpus index to identify locations in the corpus that satisfy the query. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110184959 | SUMMARIZING MEDICAL CONTENT WITH ITERATIVE SIMPLIFICATION RULES - A method for generating a gloss of medical content. The method includes repeatedly applying, using a processor, a plurality of simplification rules to the medical content until the medical content is fully simplified. Thereafter, one or more target patterns having slots associated with ontologies are matched to one or more portions of the medical content and the one or more portions of the medical content are extracted. The one or more portions correspond to the gloss. | 07-28-2011 |
