Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110143493METHOD OF MAKING PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL - Methods of making a photovoltaic (PV) cell are disclosed. The methods comprise at least the steps of, providing a first component comprising a cadmium telluride (CdTe) layer comprising an interfacial region, and subjecting the first component to a functionalizing treatment in the presence of a material comprising copper.06-16-2011

Daniel S. Lita, Gresham, OR US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080269925Method and apparatus for managing billiard tournaments - A billiard tournament management system utilizes a base computer which is in communication with individual microprocessor touch screen display units which are associated with specific billiard tables. The base computer and microprocessor/display units together are programmed to receive, store and display identifying indicia for each tournament participant, build and maintain a tournament bracket, receive, store and display results of games being played in the tournament, and assign tables to ensuing games. Data can be inputted into the system through both the base computer and the individual microprocessor/display units.10-30-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080228769Medical Entity Extraction From Patient Data - Members of a medical entity class are extracted from patient data. A semi-supervised approach uses one or more initial medical terms such as terms from an ontology, for a given category or medical canonical entity. A larger set of medical terms is extracted from the medical information. In one example, the extraction is performed using lexical surface form features, rather than syntactical parsing.09-18-2008
20080288292System and Method for Large Scale Code Classification for Medical Patient Records - A method for training classifiers for ICD-9 patient codes includes providing a set of documents regarding patient hospital visits, combining the documents for each patient visit to create a hospital visit profile, defining a feature as an ngram with a frequency of occurrence greater or equal to a predetermined value that does not appear in a standard list of ngrams, processing the profiles to remove redundancy at a paragraph level and perform tokenization and sentence splitting, performing feature selection, randomly dividing the documents into training, validation, and test sets, and training a set of binary classifiers using a weighted ridge regression, each binary classifier targeting a single ICD-9 code using the training set, wherein each classifier is adapted to determining a specific ICD-9 code by analyzing a patient's hospital records.11-20-2008
20090024615System and Method for Creating and Searching Medical Ontologies - A method for creating and searching medical ontologies includes providing a semi-structured information source comprising a plurality of articles linked to each other, each article having one or more sections and each article is associated with a concept, creating a directed unlabeled graph representative of the information source, providing a plurality of labels, labeling a subset of edges, and assigning each unlabeled edge an equal probability of being assigned one of the labels. For each node, the probability of each outgoing edge is updated by smoothing each probability by an overall probability distribution of labels over all outgoing edges of each node, and the probability of each incoming edge is updated the same way. A label with a maximum probability is assigned to an edge if said maximum probability is greater than a predetermined threshold to create a labeled graph.01-22-2009
20090106238Contextual Searching of Electronic Records and Visual Rule Construction - A web-based system for visual construction of logical rules includes a server, a network, and client operatively connected to the server via the network. The server includes a database and a search engine. The client includes a web-based visual rule building application including selectable windows for displaying and visually editing terms, logical operators, logical rules for storage in the database. The logical rules are generated by visually selecting at least one of the terms and logical operators from the windows. The server may further include a search engine configured to perform at least one of a direct search or a contextual search for an entered query string in records stored in the database and the client may include a visual interface for displaying results of the searches. The search results generated by the search engine may be stored as terms in the database for subsequent rule generation.04-23-2009
20100049756Medical Intelligence Framework - A framework executing on a computational structure and supporting a plurality of simultaneously executing software applications with a shared layer, wherein the framework is disposed between the plurality of applications and a set of data sources, the framework decomposing, processing, and analyzing data passed between the plurality of applications and the data sources into information elements.02-25-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090055183System and Method for Text Tagging and Segmentation Using a Generative/Discriminative Hybrid Hidden Markov Model - A method for sequence tagging medical patient records includes providing a labeled corpus of sentences taken from a set of medical records, initializing generative parameters θ and discriminative parameters {tilde over (θ)}, providing a functional LL−C×Penalty, where LL is a log-likelihood function02-26-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120047005Real Time Audience Forecasting - A system, method, apparatus and processor readable media are described for real-time prediction of an advertising audience volume through analysis of historical audience data, and tuning of the predicted audience volume. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query for audience volume prediction. Such a query may be a Boolean combination of various audience categories. A time range may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to make the audience volume prediction in real time. Employing the user-specified query, an audience volume prediction may be provided for a future time period, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time range. Embodiments may also enable a user to tune the predicted audience volume through modification of the query through one or more iterations.02-23-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120047013Real Time Statistics Extraction From Arbitrary Advertising Audiences - A system, method, apparatus, and processor readable storage media are described for real-time computation of statistics between audiences including, but not limited to, correlations, comparative metrics, and/or other statistical analysis for the audiences. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query that defines a specific audience for analysis in real-time. A past time period may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to generate the statistical comparisons and/or correlations. Employing the user-specified query, statistical comparisons and/or correlation may be provided, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time period. Embodiments may also enable a user to generate new statistics in real-time through modification of the audience in one or more iterations. Embodiments may also enable a user to filter, sort, and search through audiences by setting desired statistical boundaries for the resulting audience set.02-23-2012
