Title: A method for automatically indexing documents
Inventor: GOERKE ALEXANDER
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2002-08-27
Granted: 2012-07-17
Abstract: A method for retrieving based on a search term together with its corresponding meaning from a set of base documents those documents which contain the search term and in which the search term has the certain meaning to enable the building of an index on the retrieved documents. The method searches for those base documents among the set of base documents which contain the certain search term and evaluates the found base documents as to whether the search term contained in the found base documents, respectively, has a certain meaning. The evaluation comprises generating a text document to represent elements surrounding the search term and their corresponding absolute or relative position with respect to the search term. The elements of the text document codes the absolute or relative position of the surrounding elements by corresponding text strings. The text document is inputted into a trainable classifying apparatus which has been trained to recognize whether an inputted text document belongs to a certain classification category or not. The training has been performed based on a training sample of text documents which have been generated for documents in which the term surrounded by the surrounding elements has the meaning inputted by the user. The inputted text document is classified to judge whether the search team has the inputted meaning.

Abstract: Aircraft arresting beds (10) constructed of cellular concrete at ends of runways may be subject to damaging effects of jet blast phenomena. Arresting units resistant to such effects are described. A block of compressible material (12), such as cellular concrete, provides compressive failure characteristics suitable for arresting travel of an aircraft overrunning a runway. A top sheet (14) of relatively thin frangible material positioned above the block (12) provides a stronger, more damage resistant surface, while still readily fracturing in an arresting incident. Intermediate material (16), such as a foam layer, under the top sheet (14) may be included to provide a protective cushioning effect by mitigating transmission of external phenomena forces to the block (12). A wrapping (18), such as polyester net, at least partially enclosing other portions of the arresting unit provides a stable unified composite, without destroying desired compressive failure characteristics of the unit. Arresting units (10) may also include a bottom layer (20) of material stronger than the block of compressible material and a sealant coating with water resistant properties.

Abstract: In a hydraulic machine, hydraulic pump failure is detected and the pump lifespan is estimated before the pump failure occurs. The discharged pressure (122), oil temperature (126), and drain filter differential pressure (120) are measured, a correlative relationship (128) between the filter differential pressure and the discharge pressure is determined, and a representative filter differential pressure (130) is calculated from this correlative relationship. Using an oil temperature - differential pressure correlation function, the representative differential pressure value (130) is corrected so that the variable component (132) caused by the oil temperature (126) is eliminated therefrom. The long-term trend and the short-term trend of the increase over time of the corrected differential pressure is calculated. A pump failure is predicted or the pump lifespan is estimated based on the degree of deviation between the long-term trend and the short-term trend.

Abstract: A holistically integrated ultrasonic system for examining, mapping, diagnosing, and treating diseases of the prostate gland in a male human includes an ultrasonic transrectal probe (44) and an ultrasonic transurethral probe (47). Each of these probes (44, 47) is adapted to pulse and to receive, as well as to produce and operate within a liquid-filled volume of the lumen into which they are inserted. Each probe (44, 47) is in operative communication with an integrated patient support platform (1) and an integrated expert system. The integrated expert system collects data transmitted by sensors in the transrectal and transurethral probes (44, 47) and produces level-of-suspicion mapping of the prostate gland with cancer probability assessments for areas contained within the level-of-suspicion mapping. The integrated expert system communicates with, and provides targeting coordinates for operation of an automated slave biopsy subsystem (120) and directs a biopsy needle (180) to a selected point within the prostate gland

Abstract: A method and a device for communication/control of access, the term access including access to services and or goods. According to the invention should a person wishing to use the method for obtaining access establish contact via telephone with machine or called person (B-replier); as a following step should said person, verbally or by signalling via existing keypad, request access; and as a subsequently following step evaluates contacted machine/person (B-replier) whether or not the request for access should be accepted; and as a final step, on accepted received information from the calling person, initiates called machine or person (13-replier) performance of relevant action by signalling to the required unit. When the B-replier is a person within a building, the final step is performed by a call from the B-replier to a telephone network connected device, which checks the authority of the call by means of the callers number ID against a preprogrammed list of accepted telephone numbers, and on acceptance, the B-replier can further input a code sequence by means of the keypad, which is checked by the called unit, which performs a for the specific sequence related action. According to one embodiment, the user's own mobile telephone is used for the final step, placed connected to the B-replier in a "cradle"  facilitating two-way data communication between the acting unit and the B-replier.

Title: High intensity discharge lamp for vehicles
Inventor: GAO GUANGYI
IPC: H01J5/54
Filed: 2004-04-29
Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a high intensity discharge lamp with a lamp cap, which has a simple and firm structure, higher thermal stability, lower glare and higher efficiency than conventional lamps. The discharge lamp according to the present invention comprises an arcuate inner tube, which is filled with substances, e.g. xenon, for gas discharge. The arcuate inner tube comprises a bulbous or ellipsoidal portion. Surrounding the arcuate inner tube is a tubular outer envelope; the outer envelope has an enlarged portion, which is similar to the bulbous or ellipsoidal portion disposed of the bulbous portion of the arcuate inner tube. The distance between the outer envelope and the outer wall of the arcuate inner tube is uniform; thereby making the temperature distribution on the wall of inner tube more uniform, which improves the thermal stability, and the luminous and the electricity parameters of the lamp. More important is that the invention can reduce the light refraction and reflection, which occurs between the inner surface of the outer envelope and the outer surface of the arcuate inner tube, and also between the two interfaces of the outer envelope wall and the space therebetween, thereby more light is directly emitted out from the enlarged bulbous portion of the lamp, and the occurrence of glare is reduced.
