Title: Gas injection amount determining method in isotope gas analysis, and isotope gas analyzing and measuring method and apparatus
Inventor: TANI MASAYUKI
IPC: A61B5/083
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: As previous processing of measurement in which gas to be measured containing, as gas components, carbon dioxide 13CO2 and carbon dioxide 12CO2, is introduced into a cell, and in which the intensities of transmitted lights having wavelengths suitable for measurement of the respective gas components, are measured and then data-processed to measure the concentrations of the gas components, the air having a predetermined volume Va is sucked by a gas injection device 21, a gas exhaust valve V6 of a cell 11 is closed and the air stored in the gas injection device 21 is transferred to the cell 11 filled with the air at an atmospheric pressure, thereby to pressurize the cell inside. The pressure thus pressurized is measured as P. The cell volume Vc is subtracted from the product obtained by multiplying the sum. V0 of the volume Va and Vc the cell volume Vc, by the ratio P0/P in which P0 is the target pressure of the gas to be measured at which a calibration curve has been prepared for an isotope gas analysis and measurement, thus determining the one-time gas injection amount of the gas injection device 21. Thus, measured concentration variations based on changes in atmospheric pressure can be corrected.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to facilitate the distribution of transaction accounts through distributors. An exemplary method includes the steps of: issuing a transaction account to a distributor, receiving information from the distributor via the MICR protocol used by the banking and financial services industries, wherein the information reports the distribution of the transaction account, and processing the information via a Travelers Cheque infrastructure. The transaction account may be a pre-paid card and the distributor may be a seller of pre-paid cards. Distribution of the transaction account may be facilitated by use of a sequential number, such as a Travelers Cheque number. Thus, the system may be configured to be compatible with existing Travelers Cheque communication systems already in place. Furthermore, a financial transaction device may include a card that bears a serialized number, such as a Travelers Cheque number, in a manner that can be read by MICR technology.

Title: Answer determination for natural language questioning
Inventor: TUR GOKHAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2006-11-01
Abstract: Open-domain question answering is the task of finding a concise answer to a natural language question using a large domain, such as the Internet. The use of a semantic role labeling approach to the extraction of the answers to an open domain factoid (Who/When/What/Where) natural language question that contains a predicate is described. Semantic role labeling identities predicates and semantic argument phrases in the natural language question and the candidate sentences. When searching for an answer to a natural language question, the missing argument in the question is matched using semantic parses of the candidate answers.  Such a technique may improve the accuracy of a question answering system and may decrease the length of answers for enabling voice interface to a question answering system.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing mobile and other intermittent connectivity in a computing environment
Inventor: JACKSON MICHAEL
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2005-06-10
Abstract: A seamless solution transparently addresses the characteristics of nomadic systems, and enables existing network applications to run reliably in mobile environments. A Mobility Management Server (102) coupled to the mobile network maintains the state of each of any number of Mobile End Systems (104) and handles the complex session management required to maintain persistent connections to the network and to other peer processes. If a Mobile End System becomes unreachable, suspends, or changes network address (e.g., due to roaming from one network interconnect to another), the Mobility Management Server maintains the connection to the associated peer task -- allowing the Mobile End System to maintain a continuous connection even though it may temporarily lose contact with its network medium. An interface-based listener uses network point of attachment information supplied by a network interface to determine roaming conditions and to efficiently reestablish connection upon roaming. The Mobility Management Server can distribute lists to Mobile End Systems specifying how to contact it over disjoint networks.
