| 20080281518 | Vehicular communication and information system and method of using the same - The vehicular communication and information system provides a computer system mounted within a vehicle, with a global positioning system receiver being in communication with the computer system. Location and motion data related to the vehicle are recorded within a first data storage medium associated with the vehicle-based computer system, and the data are further transmitted to a base station, to be stored in a second data storage medium. The location and motion data, which may include the vehicle's position, speed and direction, are selectively displayed on a display located within the vehicle, and also displayed at the base station. A user within the vehicle or personnel at the base station may produce reports containing the vehicle-specific data, and may further define geographic boundaries within which the vehicle is authorized to move. Alarm signals may be generated within the vehicle or at the base station if the vehicle moves beyond the boundary. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20080301074 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND SOFTWARE FOR HYPERLINKING NAMES - Hyperlinking or associating documents to other documents based on the names of people in the documents has become more desirable. Although there is an automated system for installing such hyperlinks into judicial opinions, the system is not generally applicable to other types of names and documents, nor well suited to determine hyperlinks for names that might refer to two or more similarly named persons. Accordingly, the inventor devised systems, methods, and software that facilitate hyperlinking names in documents, regardless of type. One exemplary system includes a descriptor module and a linking module. The descriptor module develops descriptive patterns for selecting co-occurent document information that is useful in recognizing associations between names and professional classes. The linking module tags names in an input document, extracts co-occurent information using the descriptive patterns, and uses a Bayesian inference network that processes a (non-inverse-document-frequency) name-rarity score for each name along with the name and selected co-occurent document information to determine appropriate hyperlinks to other documents, such as entries in professional directories. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090198678 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND SOFTWARE FOR ENTITY RELATIONSHIP RESOLUTION - To facilitate access to public records, the present inventors devised, among other things, an entity resolution system. The exemplary system includes master records database of 300 million entities, which is partitioned into multiple distinct portions. The exemplary system extracts entity information from input public records and constructs one or more blocking queries against specific portions of the master records database to identify one or more sets of candidate records. Feature vectors are defined for the candidate records and machine learning techniques, such as Support Vector Machine, are used to determine which of the candidate records from the master records database match the input public records. Candidate records that match are logically associated with public records, enabling ready access via direct or indirect queries. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090222395 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND SOFTWARE FOR ENTITY EXTRACTION AND RESOLUTION COUPLED WITH EVENT AND RELATIONSHIP EXTRACTION - For automated text processing, the inventors devised, among other things, an exemplary system that includes an entity tagger, an entity resolver, a text segment classifier, and a relationship extractor. The entity tagger receives an input text segment, and tags named entities with the segment as being a person, company, or place. The entity resolver accesses authority files, and associates the persons and companies named in the text segment with specific entries in the files. The text segment classifier determines whether the text segment includes a relationship event, such as job-change event or merger and acquisition event, and if an event is detected, the relationship extractor determines the event role of entities named in the segment. For example, the extractor determines for a merger and acquisition event, which named company was the acquirer and which was acquired. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100121889 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, INTERFACES AND SOFTWARE FOR AUTOMATED COLLECTION AND INTEGRATION OF ENTITY DATA INTO ONLINE DATABASES AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORIES - An information-retrieval system includes a server that receives queries for documents from client devices and means for outputting results of queries to the client devices, with the results provided in association with one or more interactive control features that are selectable to invoke display of information regarding entities, such as professionals, referenced in the results. | 05-13-2010 |

Embodiments include a corner marking arrangement for marking tiles to be laid in reentrant corners. The corner marking arrangement includes a corner arm attachable to and orthogonal to the marking arm so that the tool is used in usual fashion as it approaches the reentrant corner. | 08-21-2008 |
