20100211603 | COMPUTER-AIDED METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PATTERN-BASED COGNITION FROM FRAGMENTED MATERIAL - A method for obtaining and analyzing information objects including generating, collecting or discovering information objects. The information objects are signified at least in part using deliberately ambiguated signifier prompts, for example, linear scale opposing negatives or positives, and/or multi-dimensional signifier prompts. The information objects may comprise text or non-text fragments, and may be generated or selected. The responses to the signifier prompts are stored with the fragments to provide a dataset of signified fragments. The signified fragments may be analyzed based on the signifiers and can be utilized as part of an explorable knowledge repository, or objective measures can be created to aid in mass opinion capture or human attitude auditing. The fragments may be represented on a graphical template. In one embodiment, fragment exemplars are identified that exemplify significant locations on the template, and the exemplar signifiers are used to automatically locate other signified fragments on the template. | 08-19-2010 |

20080228100 | Eeg Seizure Analysis - Automated seizure detection from within an electroencephalogram (EEG) by instrumental means employs novel algorithms within software, using specific measurements of individual waves in trains, rather than any “bulk” process. The acquired signal is filtered, the wave shapes are individually described within a number of parallel runs using a variety of parameters, then criteria (including regularity criteria) are calculated and applied in order to create raw detection results. Finally the raw results are “integrated” for display. As a result, reported seizures closely follow the incidence and duration of seizures detected by trained clinicians. The invention is useful in intensive-care monitoring of EEGs from neonates and in EEG monitoring in general. | 09-18-2008 |

20090128861 | Systems and Methods for Communicating Multimodal Messages - A dynamic message delivery system includes an answer detector and a message manager. The message manager establishes a call. The answer detector determines when one of a facsimile machine, a voicemail system or a live speaker answers the call. The message manager responds by delivering one of the primary message or the alternate message. The primary message is in an intended format for delivery to the recipient. The alternate message is in a second format that is different than the intended format. | 05-21-2009 |

20110084502 | Linear Rotary Generator - A linear rotary generator includes a magnet, a housing defining a cavity receiving the magnet, and a solenoid around the cavity. The magnet has a magnetic axis that rotates about a rotational axis as the magnet rolls along a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis. As the magnet passes through the solenoid, it induces an alternating current in the solenoid. The rotary power generator may be fixed to an object experiencing motion, which causes the magnet to roll in the housing and generate electricity for the object. | 04-14-2011 |
