20140129528 | Semantics Mismatch in Service Information - A method for correcting service manual textual inconsistencies. Extracting textual procedures from service documents stored in a memory of a service document storage device. Each term of an extracted textual procedure terminology is compared to a correlating target name terminology for identifying any matching terms by a processor. An overlap similarity is computed as a function of the identified matching terms from the extracted textual procedure terminology and the correlating target name terminology. A determination is made whether the overlap similarity is greater than a predetermined similarity threshold. The service documents are modified to change the extracted textual procedure terminology to the correlating target name terminology in response to the overlap similarity being greater than the predetermined similarity threshold and the extracted textual procedure terminology not exactly matching the correlating target name terminology. | 05-08-2014 |

20090217955 | Automated motorcycle wash - The automated motorcycle wash of the present invention is designed to wash motorcycles ranging in length from 7 feet up to an 11 foot chopper. It will hold a motorcycle positioned within the wash bay securely in place while running a complete 2-step pre-soak cleaner application, a high pressure rinse, a low pressure clear coat protectant application, a spot free rinse, and a double dryer pass. The rear wheel cleaners of the present invention will wash the rear wheel and tires of a motorcycle positioned within the wash bay. The front wheel stop of the present invention will also wash the front wheel and tire of a motorcycle positioned within the wash bay with built in high pressure sprayers. | 09-03-2009 |

20150220529 | SPLIT ELIMINATION IN MAPREDUCE SYSTEMS - Embodiments of the present invention relate to elimination of blocks such as splits in distributed processing systems such as MapReduce systems using the Hadoop Distributed Filing System (HDFS). In one embodiment, a method of and computer program product for optimizing queries in distributed processing systems are provided. A query is received. The query includes at least one predicate. The query refers to data. The data includes a plurality of records. Each record comprises a plurality of values in a plurality of attributes. Each record is located in at least one of a plurality of blocks of a distributed file system. Each block has a unique identifier. For each block of the distributed file system, at least one value cluster is determined for an attribute of the plurality of attributes. Each value cluster has a range. The predicate of the query is compared with the at least one value cluster of each block. The query is executed against only those blocks where the predicate is met by at least one value cluster. | 08-06-2015 |

20140198948 | VIDEO-BASED MOTION CAPTURE AND ADAPTATION - The disclosure provides an approach for estimating a state-space controller from a set of video frames depicting a motion of an entity. The approach includes incrementally optimizing parameters of the state-space controller and changing a structure of the state-space controller based on expanding subsets of the set of video frames. In one embodiment, a controller-estimation application greedily selects, at every stage of the incremental optimization, structure and parameters of the controller which minimize an objective function. In another embodiment, the controller-estimation application re-optimizes, after the incremental optimization, all parameters of the state-space controller based on all of the video frames. In yet a further embodiment, the controller-estimation application alters the structure of the state-space controller for robustness and compactness by adding cycles in the state-space controller and enforcing constraints on the structure of the state-space controller and adding and modifying state transition types, as appropriate. | 07-17-2014 |

20150100788 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING USE OF SECURE TOKENS - A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, operations including receiving an encrypted secure token from a secure token application function that is remote from the communication device, storing the encrypted secure token in a secure element memory of the secure element, accessing user input requesting the encrypted secure token where the secure device processor is separate from the secure element and is in communication with the secure element, generating a modified secure token by adding identification information to the encrypted secure token and by performing a second encryption of the encrypted secure token with the identification information, receiving the modified secure token from the secure element, and providing the modified secure token to a receiving device. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 04-09-2015 |
