| 20100250472 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MACHINE-AIDED INFORMATION EXTRACTION RULE DEVELOPMENT - An automatic rule generation system generates rules for fact extraction. A rule generation module receives a sample and generates a rule from the sample. A rule relaxation module generates a relaxed rule from the rule. A rule testing module generates a reverse index from a corpus, applies the relaxed rule to the reverse index, and generates text segments. An information extraction module generates modified text segments from the relaxed rule and the text segments. A candidate suggestion module performs a candidate generation process: if the candidate generation process generates no candidates, the candidate suggestion module signals the rule relaxation module to generate a further relaxed rule to use as the relaxed rule. A user evaluates a candidate and provides the candidate as an additional sample for the automatic rule generation system to generate another rule to use as the rule. As a result of performing these actions iteratively, the rule is eventually generated and relaxed to result in an appropriate rule to use for fact extraction. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110019925 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A CLOSEST MATCH SEARCH - A system to generate an index for a closest match search is described. The system receives a corpus of information that includes member information. The system parses the member information to generate signatures for each of the members and stores the signatures in the index. The signatures are unique to the members. Accordingly, the signatures signify the respective members. The system subsequently utilizes the index to identify input information that matches signatures in the index to identify a closest match of the input information to one or more members in the corpus information. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20120130481 | LOCAL VASCULAR DELIVERY OF ADENOSINE A2A RECEPTOR AGONISTS IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER AGENTS TO REDUCE MYOCARDIAL INJURY - A stent or other implantable medical device for the local delivery of a selective adenosine receptor agonist may be utilized in combination with other therapeutic agents to reduce myocardial injury following an acute myocardial infarction. As soon as possible following an acute myocardial infarction a stent or other suitable device comprising and capable of delivering a selective adenosine receptor agonist is positioned in the blood vessel with the occlusion responsible for causing the infarct. Once in position , the stent or other intraluminal device is deployed to remove the occlusion and reestablish blood flow to the specific area, region or tissue volume of the heart. Over a given period of time the selective adenosine receptor agonist alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents elute from the stent or other device into the downstream coronary blood flow into the hypoxic cardiac tissue for a time sufficient to reduce the level of myocardial injury. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20120017025 | System and Method for Accessing Resources of a PCI Express Compliant Device - A system and method using messages to access registers and memory in a PCI Express communications link environment. Vendor defined PCI Express messages can be used to read and write to the memory-mapped or register space of a device. Four types of accesses are defined using this messaging approach, namely memory read, memory write, configuration read and configuration write. The type of register access desired is defined by the appropriate value in a vendor-specific type field in the header of the vendor defined message. If a PCI Express compliant device at the other end of the PCI Express link does not support these types of messages, the messages are silently discarded by the receiver and no error is reported. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120017026 | System and Method for Increased Efficiency PCI Express Transaction - A system and method using new PCI Express transaction layer packet headers so that unchanged header information within a burst of transactions does not need to be re-transmitted. After the first full packet header of a burst is sent, subsequent packet headers in the burst are smaller. Thus, more reduced headers can be transmitted over time with a resulting increased efficiency. Both sides of the PCI Express transaction must support this system and method for this approach to be enabled. Once enabled, both the PCI Express transmitter and receiver can use the regular full header PCI Express packets as well as the reduced header packets. | 01-19-2012 |
