| 20090313243 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING SEMANTIC DATA RESOURCES - A semantic data resource of a domain is processed by calculating relevance scores for terms which occur in domain corpora and weighting the semantic data resource depending on the relevance scores calculated for these terms. The semantic data resource may include domain-specific terms and relations, such as a domain ontology, a domain terminology and a domain classification. The domain ontology may include a domain-specific-hierarchy of terms assigned to nodes which are connected by edges and may be encoded in a web ontology language. The relevance scores may be chi-square scores which are calculated depending on a frequency of a term in the domain corpora and an expected frequency of the term. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20110016130 | Method and an apparatus for providing at least one configuration data ontology module - A method and an apparatus provide at least one configuration data ontology module. Modules are extracted from an ontology under consideration of the semantics of the ontology. Therefore, individual concepts are selected from the ontology which are in a subsequent step connected by relations. The method and apparatus are used in ontology modularization, and especially in biomedical application domains. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20100167401 | STACKED, PATTERNED BIOMATERIALS AND/OR TISSUE ENGINEERING SCAFFOLDS - Stacked, lamellar constructs comprised of, synthetic or natural, polymeric membrane structures which are brought together to form 3D scaffolds for biomaterial and guided tissue engineering applications have been developed. Each layer can have 2D or 3D nano and micro topographical features similar to or different than each other which can be arranged during the construction of each lamellae and their orientation can be adjusted during construction phase of the 3D structure. Such a construct was utilized in the development of an artificial cornea with human primary cells, in which patterned surface of the components of the lamellar structure mimics the oriented collagen structure inherent in natural cornea. Similar exploitation of the 3D patterned structure can be made for tissues where aligned ECM architecture is crucial, such as ligaments, bone, tendon, skin. | 07-01-2010 |
