Title: Evaluation of the content of a data set using multiple and/or complex queries
Inventor: NELSON PHILIP C
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1996-12-31
Abstract: he content of a set of data is evaluated to determine whether the data set satisfies one or more queries and large numbers of data sets are more rapidly evaluated than has previously been possible, even when the number of queries is large and/or the queries are complex. The queries are evaluated using an execution plan of query terms that is constructed from one or more specified queries by translating each query term of each query into one or more evidence descriptors and one or more combination operators, and operably relating each of the combination operators to at least one of the evidence descriptors or other combination operators, such that each query is defined by one or more of the evidence descriptors and one or more of the combination operators that are operably related to each other. Preferably, none of the evidence descriptors or combination operators are duplicated in the execution plan. Data sets of a variety of types, such as text documents and databases can be evaluated by the methods disclosed. Evaluation can be further optimized to achieve rapid evaluation of a data set with respect to the queries in two steps. First, one or more candidate queries that may be satisfied by the data set are identified by approximately evaluating each query. Second, each of the candidate queries is fully evaluated to determine whether the candidate query is satisfied by the data set.

Title: Searching for relevant hyperlinked documents
Inventor: WU JIONG
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-10-23
Abstract: o search for documents in a document repository, the documents containing searchable elements (words) and being organized into a hierarchy, a search expression that is a logical function of a set of searchable elements is provided to a search engine which searches for directly matching and indirectly matching documents.  A directly matching document includes searchable elements that match the search expression.  An indirectly matching document is a document that includes searchable elements which alone do not match the search expression, but which do match the search expression when combined with the searchable elements included in one or more of the indirectly matching document's ancestor documents in the hierarchy.  A list of at least one matching document is generated as a result of the search.  The indirectly matching documents in the result list are expressed as a path in the hierarchy which links the indirectly matching document and any ancestor documents used in the searching for that indirectly matching document which are not also directly matching documents.  The list is output as a search result.

Title: Method for automatically milking animals, animals milked on basis of animal parameter.
Inventor: VAN DER LELY ALEXANDER
IPC: A01J5/017
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: The application is for a method of automatically milking animals, which are allowed to visit individually a milking parlour comprising a milking robot and an animal identification system. An animal visiting the milking parlour is milked when since the previous milking of the relevant animal at least a specific number of milkings (Q) of other animals has taken place. On the basis of at least one animal parameter a milking number (x) is allotted to each animal, which milking number (x) indicates how often the relevant animal has to be milked per unit of time. The specific number of milkings (Q) for each animal is calculated as a function of the corresponding milking number (x). As a result of the fact that the threshold value of the milking criterion depends on an individual target number for the number of milkings of the relevant animal, a desired number of milkings per unit of time can be achieved for each animal.
