20100266200 | IMAGE ANALYSIS THROUGH NEURAL NETWORK USING IMAGE AVERAGE COLOR - Architecture for comparing images by building an initial map from the average color and an inserted blackened area. Accordingly, a map can be built that is more information-rich and smaller, thereby making the system more efficient. The architecture employs a Kohonen neural network (or self-organizing map (SOM)) by guiding the learning of the SOM using characteristics of the images such as average color and a central area. A strong component of the average color of the image and the central area at the approximate center of the image are added to the uninitialized SOM, which allows related colors to converge toward the central area of the image. When input, the SOM organizes the color content of the image on a map, which can be used to compare the image with other images. | 10-21-2010 |

20110316884 | ALTERNATIVE SEMANTICS FOR ZOOM OPERATIONS IN A ZOOMABLE SCENE - A scene comprising a set of visual elements may allow a user to perform “zoom” operations in order to navigate the depth of the scene. The “zoom” semantic is often applied to simulate optical visual depth, wherein the visual elements are presented with different visual dimensions and visual resolution to simulate physical proximity or distance. However, the “zoom” semantic may be alternatively applied to other aspects of the visual elements of a scene, such as a user selection of a zoomed-in visual element, a “drill-down” operation on a data set, or navigation through a portal in a first data set to view a second data set. These alternative “zoom” semantics may be achieved by presenting the effects of a “zoom” operation within the scene on the visual presentation of the visual element in a manner other than an adjustment of the visual dimensions and resolution of the visual element. | 12-29-2011 |

This is useful for segregating contaminants like sulfur and mercury from the product stream. | 03-22-2012 |
20140141381 | METHOD OF ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF HIGH-MOISTURE MATERIALS USING SYSTEM HEAT SOURCES - The present invention harvests and utilizes fluidized bed drying technology and waste heat streams augmented by other available heat sources to dry feedstock or fuel. This method is useful in many industries, including coal-fired power plants. Coal is dried using the present invention before it goes to coal pulverizers and on to the furnace/boiler arrangement. Coal can be intercepted on current coal feed systems ahead of the pulverizers. Drying fuel, such as coal, is done to improve boiler efficiency and reduce emissions. A two-stage bed utilized in the process first “pre-dries and separates” the feed stream into desirable and undesirable feedstock. Then, it incrementally dries and segregates fluidizable and non-fluidizable material from the product stream. This is all completed in a low-temperature, open-air system. Elevation of fan room air temperature is also accomplished using waste heat, thereby making available to the plant system higher temperature media to enhance the feedstock drying process. | 05-22-2014 |

20100057621 | PAYMENT PROCESSING SYSTEM SECURE HEALTHCARE DATA TRAFFICKING - Healthcare purchase data from a transaction upon a patient's account may be required to be transported and stored for safeguarding patient confidentiality if sufficient to identify the patient and the purchase. To avoid non-compliance, a transaction hander (TH) receives the data from a merchant's acquirer as encrypted by a key known to both the acquirer and TH. After decrypting the data with that key, the TH re-encrypts it with a key known only to the TH, and then stored. After receiving an issuer's request for the data, the TH decrypts the data using its own key, re-encrypts it using a key known only to the TH and the issuer, and then sends it to the issuer who will decrypt the data using that key. The unencrypted data may be used by the issuer to demonstrate the issuer's regulatory compliance to a governmental entity. | 03-04-2010 |

20100250467 | PORTFOLIO CONFIRMATION AND CERTIFICATION PLATFORM - A system and method for confirmation of hedge fund information, comprising performing an asset/liability confirmation by comparing corroborating data received from a third party independent of the hedge fund to a list of hedge fund assets/liabilities to identify third party confirmed assets/liabilities that correspond to the corroborating data. A price input confirmation is performed to identify a fund-provided value of an asset/liability as a confirmed value when it substantially corresponds a third party value of each asset/liability. Assigning a unique identifier to a confirmation instance and associated the unique identifier to a report identifying the proportion of the fund's NAV attributable to the total value of third party confirmed assets/liabilities and attributable to the total confirmed value of assets/liabilities. A second report identifying generated risk and/or performance data includes the unique identifier to certify that the asset/liability and price input confirmations have been performed. | 09-30-2010 |
