| 20090240967 | EFFICIENT LOW POWER RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES OF MEDIA DATA FROM NON-VOLATILE MEMORY - Power consumption may be reduced in a media device including a first processor coupled to the non-volatile memory, either directly or indirectly, allowing the first processor to generate a pointer structure. The first processor may also be coupled, either directly or indirectly to a memory space, allowing the first processor to write the pointer structure in the memory space. The media device includes a second processor, such as a DSP/SHW or peripheral processor, and may be also be coupled, either directly or indirectly to the memory space, allowing the second processor to retrieve a block of media data from the non-volatile memory. Retrieval of the block of media data may be read directly from the non-volatile memory, or in some cases, the media data being retrieved may be parsed. The media data may be an audio file data, video file data, or both. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20090295123 | Universal Platform Hitch Assembly System - A height adjustable hitch assembly. The present invention provides a trailer hitch assembly mountable to a receiver hitch of a vehicle. The trailer hitch assembly includes a vertically extending channel member having opposing side flanges. Each of the side flanges includes equally spaced holes. A locking member having two pins spaced from one another the same distance as the holes in the flanges secures a hitch assembly to the channel member at a desired height. The height can be quickly and easily adjusted by removing the locking member, moving the hitch assembly to the desired height and reinserting the locking member. The channel member and the dual locking pin minimize rocking, swaying and pivoting of the hitch assembly relative to the vehicle. | 12-03-2009 |

For each topic, characteristic words included in the articles in each of the random sampling and the selective sampling are identified. Frequencies of occurrence of the characteristic words in each of the random sampling and the selective sampling are determined. A ratio of the frequencies of occurrence for the characteristic words included in the random sampling and the selective sampling is identified. Finally, for each topic, a coarse-grained topic model is built, which includes the characteristic words included in the articles relating to the topic and scores assigned to those characteristic words. | 05-20-2010 |

Counts of the articles appearing under each time period are evaluated. The topics exhibiting a rising curve in the count of the articles that increases with recency during the time periods are chosen. Quality of the articles within the topics chosen is analyzed. The topics including the articles having acceptable quality are presented. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20080196575 | Process for creating and viewing digital sheet music on a media device - A novel process and system for presenting and displaying digital sheet music is disclosed. Digitized presentation of sheet music has been enjoyed by technology-savvy musicians and music aficionados for the past few years; however, nothing exists that extends this format into the realm beyond the personal computer, while also preserving the original sound of the master recording. The present invention is a system and process used to create a digital video of digital sheet music that is synchronized to an audio recording, and distributable to multiple media device platforms. The invention enables musicians and music aficionados to hear a song as it is meant to be heard—without synthetic MIDI overlays. The invention also allows the user to see the note being played by observing a real-time display of synchronized digital sheet music. The invention enables transfer of the media file to portable media devices or entertainment/gaming consoles. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20090063536 | AUTOMATIC EXTRACTION OF SEMANTICS FROM TEXT INFORMATION - The present invention provides systems, methods and computer program products for extracting semantic information from text data having metadata associated therewith. A method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes selecting an ordered set of scale values for a plurality of scales and, for each of the scale values, determining one or more subset of metadata information related to the scale value. For each of the scales and associated subsets, a statistic on occurrences of content associated with the metadata in each subset is determined and the statistics are aggregated for each scale and associated subsets to determine a semantic level for the content. The scales and associated subsets having content with a semantic level above a threshold may be determined to extract semantic information across multiple time frames with the ordered set of scale values for the plurality of scales. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20080240532 | System and Method for Detection of Fetal Anatomies From Ultrasound Images Using a Constrained Probabilistic Boosting Tree - A method for detecting fetal anatomic features in ultrasound images includes providing an ultrasound image of a fetus, specifying an anatomic feature to be detected in a region S determined by parameter vector θ, providing a sequence of probabilistic boosting tree classifiers, each with a pre-specified height and number of nodes. Each classifier computes a posterior probability P(y|S) where yε{−1,+1}, with P(y=+1|S) representing a probability that region S contains the feature, and P(y=−1|S) representing a probability that region S contains background information. The feature is detected by uniformly sampling a parameter space of parameter vector θ using a first classifier with a sampling interval vector used for training said first classifier, and having each subsequent classifier classify positive samples identified by a preceding classifier using a smaller sampling interval vector used for training said preceding classifier. Each classifier forms a union of its positive samples with those of the preceding classifier. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090093717 | Automated Fetal Measurement From Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Data - A fetal parameter or anatomy is measured or detected from three-dimensional ultrasound data. An algorithm is machine-trained to detect fetal anatomy. Any machine training approach may be used. The machine-trained classifier is a joint classifier, such that one anatomy is detected using the ultrasound data and the detected location of another anatomy. The machine-trained classifier uses marginal space such that the location of anatomy is detected sequentially through translation, orientation and scale rather than detecting for all location parameters at once. The machine-trained classifier includes detectors for detecting from the ultrasound data at different resolutions, such as in a pyramid volume. | 04-09-2009 |
