20140214722 | REAL TIME EVALUATION OF FINANCIAL RETURNS BASED ON NEARLY ELLIPTICAL MODELS - A computer-implemented method for forecasting losses in a financial portfolio includes estimating parameters of an autoregressive-moving-average generalized-autoregressive-conditional-heteroscedastic (ARMA-GARCH) model for each individual asset in a financial portfolio by performing a parallel maximum likelihood estimation, estimating parameters of a copula dependence structure for standardized residuals of the ARMA-GARCH model, and estimating a Value-at-Risk (VaR) for the financial portfolio from the ARMA-GARCH model parameters and the copula dependence structure parameters. | 07-31-2014 |
20130204613 | LARGE-SCALE SENTIMENT ANALYSIS - A method for determining a sentiment associated with an entity includes inputting a plurality of texts associated with the entity, labeling seed words in the plurality of texts as positive or negative, determining a score estimate for the plurality of words based on the labeling, re-enumerating paths of the plurality of words and determining a number of sentiment alternations, determining a final score for the plurality of words using only paths whose number of alternations is within a threshold, converting the final scores to corresponding z-scores for each of the plurality of words, and outputting the sentiment associated with the entity. | 08-08-2013 |
20130102577 | SHIP INHIBITORS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to SHIP inhibitor compounds and methods for using these compounds. In particular, the present invention discloses the following methods: (i) a method of treating graft versus host disease in a subject; (ii) a method of inhibiting a SHIP1 protein in a cell; (iii) a method of selectively inhibiting a SHIP1 protein in a cell; (iv) a method for treating or preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a recipient of an organ or tissue transplant; (v) a method of modulating SHIP activity in a cell expressing SHIP1 or SHIP2; (vi) a method of ex vivo or in vitro treatment of transplants; (vii) a method of inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis in a subject; (viii) a method of treating a hematologic malignancy in a subject; (ix) a method of inducing apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells; (x) a method of treating multiple myeloma in a subject; (xi) a method of inhibiting the proliferation of a human breast cancer cell; and (xii) a method of treating breast cancer in a subject. | 04-25-2013 |
20130061236 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING POWER REQUIREMENTS OF MICROPROCESSORS THROUGH DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF DATAPATH RESOURCES - There is provided a system and methods for segmenting datapath resources such as reorder buffers, physical registers, instruction queues and load-store queues, etc. in a microprocessor so that their size may be dynamically expanded and contracted. This is accomplished by allocating and deallocating individual resource units to each resource based on sampled estimates of the instantaneous resource needs of the program running on the microprocessor. By keeping unused datapath resources to a minimum, power and energy savings are achieved by shutting off resource units that are not needed for sustaining the performance requirements of the running program. Leakage energy and switching energy and power are reduced using the described methods. | 03-07-2013 |
20110130538 | PHOTOLYTIC ACID-GENERATING POLYMERS AND MONOMERS FOR THEIR CONSTRUCTION - Polymers for photoresists and monomers for incorporation into those polymers are disclosed. The polymers comprise a photoacid generator (PAG) component and at least a second component that is photolytically stable and acid-stable. The polymers may also contain a third, acid-labile component. The photoacid generator is based on N-sulfoxyimides and related moieties that contain photolabile oxygen-heteroatom and oxygen-aromatic carbon bonds. | 06-02-2011 |
20090278798 | Active Fingertip-Mounted Object Digitizer - A finger-mounted implement including a kinesthetic sensor, at least one tactile sensor, and means for securing the kinesthetic sensor and the at least one tactile sensor to a fingertip. The tactile sensor may be a thin-film force transducer, a piezoelectric accelerometer, or a combination thereof. An artificial fingernail may be connected to the accelerometer. The kinesthetic sensor may include a magnetic transducer and may sense an X-Y-Z position and an angular orientation of a fingertip to which the kinesthetic sensor is secured. The securing means may include at least one means selected from the group consisting of adhesive tape, an elastically deformable cover, and detachable adhesive. The implement can be further connected to a computer processing system for, amongst other things, the virtual representation of sensed objects. The implement can also be used as part of a method of haptic sensing of objects. | 11-12-2009 |
20090117471 | LITHIUM ION BATTERY ELECTRODE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE OF SAME - Disclosed is a method for synthesizing a lithium transition metal oxide nanostructure for the cathode material LiCoO | 05-07-2009 |
20090114212 | HYBRID SOLAR PANEL - Disclosed is an apparatus and method for improved efficiency in the collection of solar energy, in which an energy conversion device is provided that includes a first zone for converting received solar energy into thermal energy, the first zone having a Fresnel lens, and a heat absorption layer with heat collectors embedded therein. The energy conversion device also includes a second zone positioned at a lower level of first energy zone for converting received solar energy into electrical energy utilizing a photovoltaic cell. | 05-07-2009 |
20090099559 | COHERENT IMAGING FIBER BASED HAIR REMOVAL DEVICE - A photoepilation device including a compact hand piece applicator and a portable electronics module for use in a non-medical setting. The hand piece, which contains no electrical signals, allows the user to focus on individual hair follicles by observing a magnified image provided on a semiconductor display. The image from the hand piece is transported to a remote CCD through a coherent imaging fiber, which also delivers the therapeutic energy pulse from a remotely located source to the localized target. Destruction of pluripotential follicular stems cells found in the hair bulb and bulge regions is possible via a single low power laser diode. Control of pulse width and spot size attains a range of fluence levels up to 85 J·cm | 04-16-2009 |
