Publication number: 20130346398Abstract: System and method are disclosed for refining a semantic search query through large quantities of dynamically created concept categories and their associated extracted values on a mobile device using only two filtering controls or buttons. The first filtering control is a Semantic Categorization Filter control and the second filtering control is a Semantic Categorization Selection control. The user queries a semantic search engine using text or voice controls. The results returned to the user imply the full scope of search results along with a dynamically created semantic categorization. The most relevant semantic categorization will be considered as the pre-selected category in the Semantic Categorization Filter control along with a list of possible dynamically created sub-categorizations and the Semantic Categorization Selection control will be pre-populated with other possible semantic categorizations of the result set.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Inventors: Benoit L'Archeveque, Mickael Camus, Denton Cockburn, Richard Pavy, Lise Rebout, Anthony Bryant

Patent number: 8424801Abstract: A support assembly for deployment and retraction of an aero surface from an aircraft is disclosed. The assembly comprises a guide track, a primary support arm having one end coupled to a carriage mounted on the track such that the primary support arm is rotatable relative to the carriage about multiple axes, and a control arm having one end coupled to the primary support arm and a second end pivotably attachable to a fixed support forming part of the structure of the aircraft. The assembly being configured such that, when the carriage is driven along the guide track, the control arm causes the primary support arm to pivot about said multiple axes to deploy and/or retract an aero surface pivotally attached to an opposite end of the primary support member along an arcuate path.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Airbus Operations LimitedInventors: Eric Wildman, Simon John Parker, Anthony Bryant, Christian Folkard

Patent number: 5709988Abstract: Radiation-sensitive emulsions are disclosed comprised of high bromide tabular grains containing a peripheral band of increased iodide concentration. The tabular grains exhibit an average equivalent circular diameter of at least 2.0 .mu.m and are of a face centered cubic crystal lattice structure of the rock salt type. The tabular grains include central and peripheral regions extending between their major faces. The peripheral region is up to 0.2 .mu.m in width and contains an iodide concentration at least 2 mole percent higher than that of the central region measured at a location adjacent the peripheral region. Dislocations are present in the peripheral region to increase sensitivity and are minimized in the central region to maintain relatively constant sensitivities when pressure is applied locally.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1995Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Donald Lee Black, Roger Anthony Bryant, Mark Edward Irving
