Patent number: 7874977Abstract: A device for treating and reducing stuttering by utilizing auditory feedback. A bone conducting hearing aid apparatus is arranged to be attached to the skull bone of a user with a stuttering problem so that his ear canal is left free. A tactile component in the form of a vibrator mechanically transmits sound information to the inner ears of the user via the skull bone so that both cochleas are stimulated. The cochlea on the opposite side of the skull receives a signal that is further delayed and also has another frequency characteristics compared to the digital received by the nearest cochlea.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2004Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Cochlear LimitedInventor: Dan Pitulia

Patent number: 7876335Abstract: A system redacts content in a multi-layered document by executing a content modifier process that redacts a first portion of content in a source layer and then automatically redacts related content in at least one target layer. The content modifier process overlays the source redaction region on corresponding areas of other layers in the document to identify target redaction regions in those other layers that contain target content. In turn, the content modifier process automatically identifies and redacts the target content within target redaction regions.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2006Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Jason T.

Patent number: 7873643Abstract: The present invention provides mathematical model-based incremental clustering methods for classifying sets of data and predicting new data values, based upon the concepts of similarity and cohesion. In order to increase processing efficiency, these methods employ weighted attribute relevance in building unbiased classification trees and sum pairing to reduce the number of nodes visited when performing classification or prediction operations. In order to increase prediction accuracy, these methods employ weighted voting over each value of target attributes to calculate a prediction profile. The present invention allows an operator to determine the importance of attributes and reconstitute classification trees without those attributes deemed unimportant to further increase classification structure node processing efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2007Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: University of North Carolina at CharlotteInventors: Mirsad Hadzikadic, Benjamin F. Bohren, Christopher N. Eichelberger
