20090204386METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CROSS-LINGUAL COMMUNICATION - A system and method for a highly interactive style of speech-to-speech translation is provided. The interactive procedures enable a user to recognize, and if necessary correct, errors in both speech recognition and translation, thus providing robust translation output than would otherwise be possible. The interactive techniques for monitoring and correcting word ambiguity errors during automatic translation, search, or other natural language processing tasks depend upon the correlation of Meaning Cues and their alignment with, or mapping into, the word senses of third party lexical resources, such as those of a machine translation or search lexicon. This correlation and mapping can be carried out through the creation and use of a database of Meaning Cues, i.e., SELECT. Embodiments described above permit the intelligent building and application of this database, which can be viewed as an interlingua, or language-neutral set of meaning symbols, applicable for many purposes. Innovative techniques for interactive correction of server-based speech recognition are also described.08-13-2009

20100042351METHODS AND APPARATUS RELATED TO MANAGEMENT OF EXPERIMENTS - In one embodiment, a method includes sending an indicator of an availability of a sample from a sample pool stored in a physical inventory. The sample being included in the sample pool based on an attribute of the sample satisfying a condition associated with the sample pool. An indicator that the sample has been selected from the sample pool for analysis at a first test site included in an array of test sites is received. A rule is retrieved from a rule database based on an experimental parameter value associated with the first test site. At least one of the experimental parameter value associated with the first test site or an experimental parameter value associated with a second test site is modified based on a condition within the rule being satisfied.02-18-2010

20090043365METHODS, APPARATUSES, AND SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE AS A MEANS OF PREVENTING OR TREATING OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA - Embodiments include methods, apparatuses, and systems for reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in a patient to either prevent or treat open-angle glaucoma. Heat is applied to the trabecular meshwork in the patient's eye without damaging proteins in the trabecular meshwork. The application of heat to the trabecular meshwork has the effect of relaxing or loosening protein clogs or other inhibitors in the trabecular meshwork, which are either reducing or obstructing of the outflow of aqueous humor, thereby increasing the patient's IOP and causing ocular hypertension (OHT). By loosening or relaxing clogs or other inhibitors in the trabecular meshwork, the outflow path for aqueous humor is increased or restored, which can lower IOP and either prevent or treat glaucoma. Force may also be applied to the patient's eye to apply pressure to the trabecular meshwork to further assist in the loosening or relaxing of clogs or other inhibitors in the trabecular meshwork.02-12-2009
