Title: Alignment member for delivering a non-symmetric device with a predefined orientation
Inventor: AFREMOV MICHAEL
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2001-05-16
Granted: 2005-11-08
Abstract: A device and method for delivering an object within a patient, wherein the object is delivered in a preferred orientation relative to the delivery site of the patient. The delivery device has an alignment member that allows the object to be delivered intravascularly to the delivery site of the patient, wherein the object is delivered in a pre-determined orientation. The object may, for example, be non-symmetric or include a configuration that requires delivery to the site in only one suitable orientation relative to the delivery site. Such objects may be used, for example, to treat certain defects or injuries in vessels or organs within a patient's body.

Abstract: A system and method for binary classification of text units such as sentences, paragraphs and documents as either a rule of law (ROL) or not a rule of law (~ROL) (206). During a training phase (202) of the system and method of the present invention, an initialized knowledge base and labeled or pre-classified sentences are used to build a trained knowledge base. The trained knowledge base contains an equation (404), a threshold (405), and a plurality of statistical values called Z values (502). When inputting text documents for classification, a Z value is generated for each term or token in the input text. The Z values are input to the equation which calculates a score for each sentence. Each calculated score is compared to the threshold to classify each sentence as either ROL or ~ROL.

Title: Robust and invariant audio pattern matching
Inventor: WANG AVERY LI-CHUN
IPC: G10L15/10
Filed: 2003-04-18
Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: The present invention provides an innovative technique for rapidly and accurately determining whether two audio samples match, as well as being immune to various kinds of transformations, such as playback speed variation.  The relationship between the two audio samples is characterized by first matching certain fingerprint objects derived from the respective samples. A  set (230) of fingerprint objects (231, 232), each occurring at a particular location (242), is generated for each audio sample (210). Each location is determined in dependence upon the content of respective audio sample (210) and each fingerprint object (232) characterizes one or more local features (222) at or near the respective particular location (242). A relative value is next determined for each pair of matched fingerprint objects. A histogram of the relative values is then generated. If a statistically significant peak is found, the two audio samples can be characterized as substantially matching.
