20130026387 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRAPPING AND MEASURING A CHARGED PARTICLE IN A LIQUID - A system and method for trapping a charged particle is disclosed. A time-varying periodic multipole electric potential is generated in a trapping volume. A charged particle under the influence of the multipole electric field is confined to the trapping volume. A three electrode configuration giving rise to a 3D Paul trap and a four planar electrode configuration giving rise to a 2D Paul trap are disclosed. | 01-31-2013 |
20130041594 | AUTOMATED DECISION SUPPORT FOR ASSOCIATING AN UNKOWN BIOLOGICAL SPECIMEN WITH A FAMILY - Three methods of predicting whether an unknown biological specimen of a missing person originates from a member of a particular family comprise an initial automated decision support (ADS) algorithm for determining a list of relatives of the missing person for DNA typing and which typing technologies of available technologies to use for a listed relative. The ADS algorithm may be implemented on computer apparatus including a processor and an associated memory. The ADS method comprises determining a set of relatives of available family member relatives for DNA typing via a processor from a stored list of family member relatives according to one of a rule base, a table of hierarchically stored relatives developed based on discriminatory power or by calculating the discriminatory power for available family relatives to type. The ADS method may further comprise comparing at least one set of DNA typing data for the unknown biological specimen to DNA typing data from biological specimens from the determined set of relatives; calculating by the processor a likelihood function that the person is related to the family; and outputting a decision whether or not the person is related to the family. | 02-14-2013 |
20130131994 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOBILE DISASTER VICTIM IDENTIFICATION - Mobile telecommunications or personal computing apparatus may be specially programmed for predicting whether an unknown biological specimen of an individual to be identified originates from or is related to a member of a particular family. The apparatus may comprise an input device including a barcode reader and a virtual touch screen keyboard whereby DNA profile or mass spectrometry test data may be entered among other data for an individual to be identified, for example, a missing person, victim, crime perpetrator or other unknown individual in hypothetical relationship to another individual or to a family pedigree of typed family members. The typed family pedigree in relation to the individual to be identified in hypothetical relation may be displayed on an output display of the apparatus including at least two different profile typing indicators for each displayed member of the pedigree. | 05-23-2013 |
20130159309 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING OBJECT PROPERTIES AND EVENTS USING SIMILARITY-BASED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND MODELING - Method and apparatus for predicting properties of a target object comprise application of a search manager for analyzing parameters of a plurality of databases for a plurality of objects, the databases comprising an electrical, electromagnetic, acoustic spectral database (ESD), a micro-body assemblage database (MAD) and a database of image data whereby the databases store data objects containing identifying features, source information and information on site properties and context including time and frequency varying data. The method utilizes a model comprising application of multivariate statistical analysis and principal component analysis in combination with content-based image retrieval for providing two-dimensional attributes of three dimensional objects, for example, via preferential image segmentation using a tree of shapes and to predict further properties of objects by means of k-means clustering and related methods. | 06-20-2013 |
20130159310 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING OBJECT PROPERTIES AND EVENTS USING SIMILARITY-BASED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND MODELING - Method and apparatus for predicting properties of a target object comprise application of a search manager for analyzing parameters of a plurality of databases for a plurality of objects, the databases comprising an electrical, electromagnetic, acoustic spectral database (ESD), a micro-body assemblage database (MAD) and a database of image data whereby the databases store data objects containing identifying features, source information and information on site properties and context including time and frequency varying data. The method comprises application of multivariate statistical analysis and principal component analysis in combination with content-based image retrieval for providing two-dimensional attributes of three dimensional objects, for example, via preferential image segmentation using a tree of shapes and to predict further properties of objects by means of k-means clustering and related methods. By way of example, one of a criminal activity and a fraudulent activity event, an intrusion event and a fire event and residual objects may be predicted and located and qualified such that, for example, properties of the residual objects may be qualified, for example, via black body radiation and micro-body databases including charcoal assemblages. | 06-20-2013 |
20130173632 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING OBJECT PROPERTIES AND EVENTS USING SIMILARITY-BASED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND MODELING - Method and apparatus for predicting properties of a target object comprise application of a search manager for analyzing parameters of a plurality of databases for a plurality of objects, the databases comprising an electrical, electromagnetic, acoustic and thermal spectral database (ESD), a micro-body assemblage database (MAD) and a database of image data whereby the databases store data objects containing identifying features, source information and information on site properties and context including time and frequency varying data. The method comprises application of multivariate statistical analysis and principal component analysis in combination with content-based image retrieval for providing two-dimensional attributes of three dimensional objects, for example, via preferential image segmentation using a tree of shapes and to predict further properties of objects by means of k-means clustering and related methods. By way of example, an evidence tree display showing a target object linked by a pathway to a predicted property comprises a similarity value, a speculation value and a model-based rank. | 07-04-2013 |
20130197049 | COMPOUNDS FOR TREATMENT OF CANCER - The present invention relates to novel compounds having anti-cancer activity, methods of making these compounds, and their use for treating cancer and drug-resistant tumors, e.g. melanoma, metastatic melanoma, drug resistant melanoma, prostate cancer and drug resistant prostate cancer. | 08-01-2013 |
