20100310128 | System and Method for Remote Measurement of Displacement and Strain Fields - A computer-implemented method for measuring full field deformation characteristics of a deformable body. The method includes determining optical setup design parameters for measuring displacement and strain fields, and generating and applying a dot pattern on a planar side of a deformable body. A sequence of images of the dot pattern is acquired before and after deformation of the body. Irregular objects are eliminated from the images based on dot light intensity threshold and the object area or another geometrical cutoff criterion. The characteristic points of the dots are determined, and the characteristic points are matched between two or more of the sequential images. The displacement vector of the characteristic points is found, and mesh free or other techniques are used to estimate the full field displacement based on the displacement vector of the characteristic points. Strain tensor or other displacement-derived quantities can also be estimated using mesh-free or other analysis techniques. | 12-09-2010 |

20110171196 | METHODS OF TREATMENT AND USES FOR CAMKII AND ITS INTERACTION WITH HDACS AND CALPAIN - The present invention provides for methods of treating and cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy or hypertension comprising the use of CaMKII-HDAC binding domains. The present invention discloses not only the fact that CaMKII binds to HDAC4 at a specific site, but that HDAC4 may dimerize with other HDACs. Both events can lead to export of HDACs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, an event associated with the development of heart disease. Thus the methods of treatment and the screening methods of the present invention are novel attempts to prevent, treat or identify therapies for cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy or hypertension. | 07-14-2011 |

20140192046 | Method and device for elastic registration between a two-dimensional digital image and a slice of a three-dimensional volume with overlapping content - The invention concerns a method and device for elastic registration of a two-dimensional source digital image of an object of interest with a slice of a three dimensional target volume of the object of interest, comprising defining a Markov Random Field framework comprising at least one undirected pairwise graph superimposed on the two-dimensional image domain comprising at least a set of regular vertices and at least a set of edges, defining at least a grid of control points, each control point corresponding to a vertex of the set of vertices, and a neighborhood system of edges associated with vertices. The method of the invention comprises defining a set of multi-dimensional labels of a discrete space to apply a displacement to each control point, a control point displacement defining a transformation adapted to obtain a plane slice of the target volume and an in-plane deformation transformation of the source digital image. A set of labels is obtained, defining a set of displaced control points, by minimizing an energy target function, the set of displaced control points defining a plane slice of the target volume that elastically matches the two-dimensional source digital image according to the energy target function. The energy target function is a sum comprising first order and/or second order and/or third order terms defined over first, second, third order sets of control points. | 07-10-2014 |

20160140123 | GENERATING A QUERY STATEMENT BASED ON UNSTRUCTURED INPUT - Techniques for generating a query statement to query a dataset may be provided. For example, the query statement can be generated from natural language input, such as a natural language utterance. To do so, the input can be analyzed to detect a sentence, identify words in the sentence, and tag the words with the corresponding word types (e.g., nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.). Expressions using the tags can be generated. Data about the expressions can be inputted to a classifier. Based on a detected pattern associated with the expressions, the classifier can predict a structure of the query statement, such as what expressions correspond to what clauses of the query statement. Based on this prediction, words associated with the expressions can be added to the clauses to generate the query statement and accordingly query the dataset. | 05-19-2016 |
