Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100174675Data Structure, System and Method for Knowledge Navigation and Discovery - Data structures, systems, methods and computer program products that enable precise information retrieval and extraction, and thus facilitate relational and associative discovery are disclosed. The present invention utilizes a novel data structure termed a “Knowlet” which combines multiple attributes and values for relationships between concepts. While texts contain many re-iterations of factual statements, Knowlets record relationships between two concepts only once and the attributes and values of the relationships change based on multiple instances of factual statements, increasing co-occurrence or associations. The present invention's approach results in a minimal growth of the Knowlet space as compared to the text space and it thus useful where there is a vast data store, a relevant ontology/thesaurus, and a need for knowledge navigation and (relational, associative, and/or other) knowledge discovery.07-08-2010

20080306918System and method for wikifying content for knowledge navigation and discovery - Systems, methods and computer program products for navigating concepts found in data produced by intellectuals in a knowledge discovery process are disclosed. The present invention utilizes data sources and facilities for enabling community-based contributions for identifying associations between concepts disclosed by intellectuals. The present invention's approach results in having concepts mapped to authors and tools for linking related concepts with groups of intellectuals and/or contributors.12-11-2008

20090252164LAYERED MULTICAST AND FAIR BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION AND PACKET PRIORITIZATION - Embodiments include an overlay multicast network. The overlay multicast network may provide a set of features to ensure reliable and timely arrival of multicast data. The embodiments include a congestion control system that may prioritize designated layers of data within a data stream over other layers of the same data stream. Each data stream transmitted over the network may be given an equal share of the bandwidth. Addressing in routing tables maintained by routers in the may utilize summarized addressing based on the difference in location of the router and destination address. Summarization levels may be adjusted to minimize travel distances for packets in the network. Data from high priority data stream layers may also be retransmitted upon request from a destination machine to ensure reliable delivery of data.10-08-2009
