20140269185 | TIME-LAPSE MONITORING - Described herein are implementations of various technologies for a method. The method may receive a baseline survey dataset for a region of interest. The method may obtain a transformed dataset from the baseline survey dataset using a transform. The method may determine sparsity characteristics from the transformed dataset. The method may determine survey parameters using the sparsity characteristics. The survey parameters may be for a monitor survey for the region of interest. | 09-18-2014 |

20080243801 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODEL ELEMENT IDENTIFICATION - A problem analysis system and method, given at least one entity represented in an entity-relation-entity relationship, automatically formulates a query that is automatically submitted via a knowledge search tool to a database of mereological and functional relationships, and responses to this query from the database are automatically provided. The query can be formatted as a natural language query, a Boolean query, a key word query, or a query according to the query syntax of a database management system. | 10-02-2008 |
20100235164 | QUESTION-ANSWERING SYSTEM AND METHOD BASED ON SEMANTIC LABELING OF TEXT DOCUMENTS AND USER QUESTIONS - A question-answering system for searching exact answers in text documents provided in the electronic or digital form to questions formulated by user in the natural language is based on automatic semantic labeling of text documents and user questions. The system performs semantic labeling with the help of markers in terms of basic knowledge types, their components and attributes, in terms of question types from the predefined classifier for target words, and in terms of components of possible answers. A matching procedure makes use of mentioned types of semantic labels to determine exact answers to questions and present them to the user in the form of fragments of sentences or a newly synthesized phrase in the natural language. Users can independently add new types of questions to the system classifier and develop required linguistic patterns for the system linguistic knowledge base. | 09-16-2010 |
20100235165 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC SEMANTIC LABELING OF NATURAL LANGUAGE TEXTS - Systems and methods for automatic semantic labeling of natural language documents provided in electronic or digital form include a semantic processor that performs a basic linguistic analysis of text, including recognizing in the text semantic relationships of the type objects and/or classes of objects, facts and cause-effect relationships; matching linguistically analyzed text against target semantic relationship patterns, created by generalization of particular cases of target semantic relationships; and generating semantic relationship labels based on linguistically analyzed text and a result of the matching. | 09-16-2010 |
20100235340 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR KNOWLEDGE RESEARCH - Knowledge research and mapping system and method automatically construct a knowledge research map representing the researched topics, their inter-relationships, and related responses retrieved through the processing of, for example, a natural language or Boolean query that is automatically submitted via a knowledge search tool to a database. | 09-16-2010 |

20080286348 | Secured transdermal delivery system - A secured transdermal delivery system, applicable to both matrix and reservoir patches, for preventing misuse of medications embedded within and affixed to transdermal patches. The secured transdermal delivery system includes a backing supporting a pharmaceutical composition and one or more security agents adapted to modify the pharmacophore of the pharmaceutical composition. The security agent is separated from the pharmaceutical composition by one or more dissolving security layers which define one or more security reservoirs within the patch. | 11-20-2008 |

20150369849 | DETERMINING OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF SIGNAL GENERATOR USING MEASURING DEVICE - A method determines operating characteristics of a signal generator. The method includes performing a first set of measurements of an output signal generated by the signal generator and corresponding reflected signal, where the first set of measurements is performed over multiple frequencies and amplitudes of the output signal; applying an external signal to the output port of the signal generator; performing a second set of measurements of the output signal and corresponding reflected signal while the external signal is being applied to the output port, where the second set of measurements is performed over frequencies and amplitudes of the output signal, the external signal having the same frequency as the output signal for each measurement of the second set of measurements. A set of coefficients describing the operating characteristics of the signal generator is determined by processing results of the first and second sets of measurements through a non-linear model. | 12-24-2015 |
