Title: Searching and storing data in a database
Inventor: DINWOODIE ADAM
IPC: H04L45/748
Filed: 2011-09-28
Abstract: Nodes in a tree data structure are associated with respective node keys and at least some of the nodes are associated with at least one respective node rank. The structure is searched to attempt to identify a preferred prefix-matching node on the basis of attempting to find a prefix-matching node that has a prefix match with a search key and which has a preferred node rank relative to a node rank associated with a node which may have a longer prefix match. If the prefix-matching node is identified, a dependent node rank identifier associated with the prefix-matching node is used to determine that the prefix-matching node has the preferred node rank. The dependent node rank identifier indicates at least a node rank of a node which may have a longer prefix match than the prefix-matching node. The prefix    matching node is selected, if identified, as a preferred prefix-matching node.

Title: Processing a three dimensional image for printing by eroding voxels
Inventor: YOUNG PHILIPPE GEORGES
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2011-02-22
Abstract: A method for preparing image data for three-dimensional printing in which a physical three-dimensional object is scanned to obtain a digitized (e.g. voxelized) three-dimensional representation of the object. This representation is eroded to create an internal volume for the object. A microstructure is introduced into the interior of the hollowed out model, e.g. by extracting a volume corresponding to the inverse of that microstructure from the eroded digitised representation. Subsequently, the generated internal volume is subtracted from the digitised three-dimensional representation of the object to create a hollowed out representation of the object, which may be suitable for three-dimensional printing. The hollowed out representation of the object may be used to generate a vector based surface representation of the three-dimensional object.
