20090250349 | Tube Structure with Sol-Gel Zirconia Coating - The subject invention concerns zirconia-based hybrid organic-inorganic sol-gel coating for optional use as a stationary phase in capillary microextraction (CME), gas chromatographic (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), capillary electrochromatography (CEC) and related analytical techniques. Sol-gel chemistry is employed to chemically bind a hydroxy-terminated silicone polymer (polydimethyldiphenylsiloxane, PDMDPS) to a sol-gel zirconia network. In one embodiment, a fused silica capillary is filled with a properly designed sol solution to allow for the sol-gel reactions to take place within the capillary. In the course of this process, a layer of the evolving hybrid organic-inorganic sol-gel polymer becomes chemically bonded to the silanol groups on the inner capillary walls. The unbonded part of the sol solution is expelled from the capillary under helium pressure, leaving behind a chemically bonded sol-gel zirconia-PDMDPS coating on the inner walls of the capillary. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, and aldehydes are efficiently extracted and preconcentrated from dilute aqueous samples followed by GC separation of the extracted analytes. | 10-08-2009 |

For example, one system computes composite scores based on: similarity of input text to text assigned to each of the target classes; similarity of non-target classes assigned to the input text and target classes; probability of a target class given a set of one or more non-target classes assigned to the input text; and/or probability of the input text given text assigned to the target classes. The exemplary system then evaluates the composite scores using class-specific decision criteria, such as thresholds, ultimately assigning or recommending assignment of the input text to one or more of the target classes. The exemplary system is particularly suitable for classification systems having thousands of classes. | 05-06-2010 |

20100125601 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND SOFTWARE FOR IDENTIFYING HISTORICALLY RELATED LEGAL CASES - The American legal system, judges and lawyers are continually researching an ever-expanding body of past judicial opinions, or case law, for the ones most relevant to resolution of new disputes. To facilitate these searches, some companies collect and publish the judicial opinions of courts across the United States in both paper and electronic forms, with some of the cases containing references to prior cases from other courts that have previously ruled on all or part of the same dispute. Identifying the prior cases is problematic, because, for example, conventional computer text-matching not only suggests too many non-prior cases, but also misses too many actual prior cases. Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that generally facilitate identification of one or more documents that are related to a given document, and particularly facilitate identification of prior cases for a given case. One specific embodiment retrieves prior-case candidates based on information extracted from an input case, and then uses a support vector machine to determine which of the prior-case candidates are most probably prior cases for the input case. | 05-20-2010 |

20140078515 | OPTICAL GRID ENHANCEMENT FOR IMPROVED MOTOR LOCATION - Methods for performing a scheme that results in a refined measurement pattern within an optical grid are provided. Physically adjusting spacing of elements within an optical grid to achieve enhanced resolution is historically unfeasible, as reduction of the spacing causes light sensors of the optical grid to pick up false signals when reading light beams. Technology introduced by the present invention generates a virtual reduced spacing of the elements within the optical grid by using two signals that are slightly different. These slightly different signals can accomplish, at least, quarter-grid spacing resolution within the optical grid. Additionally, the enhanced resolution derived from the virtual reduced spacing is employed to govern movement of a motor. The motor movement is in response to one or more changes of direction such that the motor is operating in its linear range. Advantageously, the virtual reduced spacing allows for substantial movement in a non-linear phase, while only limited movement in a linear phase is necessary to locate accurately a target within the optical grid. | 03-20-2014 |

20120278647 | Reducing Memory Used To Store Totals In Static Timing Analysis - A system and a method are disclosed for reducing memory used in storing totals during static timing analysis. Totals are stored at various points along paths analyzed in static timing analysis.

Totals at a point may be stored in a super-tag mapping table and replaced at the point with a super-tag. The super-tag includes a super-tag ID referencing the totals stored in the super-tag mapping table. The super-tag also includes a time delay value. The time delay value allows the super-tag ID to be reused in other super-tags at other points while still storing total time delays at the other points. Therefore, the memory used to store totals is reduced in many situations. | 11-01-2012 |
