| 20100077400 | TASK-OPTIMIZING CALENDAR SYSTEM - A calendar system schedules tasks and meetings or other appointments for a user. The system retrieves a work capacity, which is information regarding the working hours for the user. The system further retrieves a plurality of enhanced tasks for the user. The system then optimizes a schedule for the user based on the work capacity and the enhanced tasks. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100131319 | BUSINESS PROCESS SCHEDULE - Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for implementing a business process schedule based on temporal information. According to one embodiment, a method of utilizing temporal information associated with a business process definition can comprise storing the temporal information in a central repository. For example, the business process definition can comprise a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) definition. The temporal information can indicate a time condition for a business process. A determination can be made as to whether the time condition has been satisfied. In response to determining the time condition has been satisfied, the business process definition associated with the temporal information can be identifying and executed. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100179952 | METHOD FOR DEFINING DATA CATEGORIES - A method for the definition of data categories is described. The method uses logic templates and may be used in database processing. One embodiment of the method comprises: selecting a plurality of attributes from a group of attributes, each attribute describing a possible data item in a set of data; selecting a logic template from a group of logic templates, each logic template comprising a predetermined logic expression containing one or more variables; and assigning one or more selected attributes to each variable within the selected the logic template to produce a logic expression defining the data category. A computer program product and a user interface for achieving this method are also described. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100280883 | Creative Process Modeling And Tracking System - One embodiment is a system that allows multiple entities to track a process for developing a product. The system receives a process defined in terms of the entities, which are involved in the process, and the relationships, which exist among the entities. The system permits a process instance to be created from the defined process upon deeming that the process is valid, and permits the first process instance to be tracked with respect to requirements and solutions that are specified by entities in the process instance. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20090169051 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ITEMS OF INTEREST THROUGH MASS ESTIMATION - A system and method for identifying an object based on its estimated mass. In one aspect, a method for estimating a mass of an object is provided. The method includes acquiring image data including a plurality of image elements, calculating a histogram based on the image data, calculating a computed tomography (CT) number of the object using an anisotropic erosion operator, and determining a perimeter of the object. The method also includes calculating an estimated mass of the object using the CT number and a first subset of image elements of the plurality of image elements, the first subset of image elements defined by the perimeter of the object, and outputting at least one of the estimated mass of the object and an image including the object. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090169104 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IDENTIFYING A THIN OBJECT - A method for identifying an object within a container is provided. The method includes acquiring image data representing an image, applying a morphological operator to the acquired image data to generate morphed image data, calculating a histogram based on the morphed image data, and classifying the image using the calculated histogram. A classification of the image may be displayed and/or stored in a computer-readable memory. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100284618 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING AN OBJECT - A method for identifying an object is provided. The method includes acquiring image data, and separating a sheet object from a bulk object within the acquired image data by using a top hat algorithm. Information relating to at least one of the sheet object and the bulk object is outputted. | 11-11-2010 |
