  • Patent number: 10349825
    Abstract: A method of determining a measurement of at least one cell type in an eye, comprising (i) obtaining a map of the cell type in the eye, (ii) obtaining a representation of the retina of the eye, (iii) matching the eye cell type map to the representation of the retina of the eye, (iv) defining a region of interest on the representation of the retina of the eye, (v) calculating a size of the region of interest on the representation of the retina of the eye, (vi) using the matched eye cell type map and the size of the region of interest to determine a measure of the cell type in the region of interest of the retina of the eye.

  • Publication number: 20150269251
    Abstract: A method for evaluating the impact of distributed digital content, including identifying content produced by a publisher on a first domain, determining user activity data associated with the content on one or more social networks, calculating an instantaneous score for each of the social networks for the content based on the user activity data associated with the content on the respective social network, calculating a velocity score for each of the social networks for the content, the velocity score comprising a rate of change of the instantaneous score for the respective social network, calculating a social value score for the content based on the velocity scores of the one or more social networks, and sending the social value score to a computer associated with the publisher.

  • Publication number: 20060009942
    Abstract: A system for the integrated archiving, restoring, purging, importing and exporting of semiconductor wafer data, the system including: a data acquisition system 00 for acquiring scan data from differing types of semiconductor wafer scanning tools such as wafer dimensional tools 10, wafer inspection tools 12, and wafer nanotopography tools 14; a buffer system 02 for providing temporary storage for scan data transmitted over a network from the data acquisition system and for providing fault tolerance; a server system 04 for providing storage for the scan data transmitted from the buffer system 02 and converting the scan data into a format used by and stored in a database 08 management system; and an analysis system 06 client station including a display and communicating with the server system 04 over the network, the analysis system 06 and the server system 04 managing the purging, archiving, restoring, importing and exporting of scan data.

  • Publication number: 20050102080
    Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods that pertain to interactions between a vehicle and an occupant within the vehicle. More specifically, various systems and methods for enhancing the decisions of automated vehicle applications (collectively “decision enhancement system”) are disclosed. In a safety restraint embodiment, a sensor is used to capture various sensor readings. Sensor readings are typically in the form of images. Occupant information, such as location attributes, motion attributes, and occupant category attributes can be obtained from the sensor readings. Such information can then used by the system to enhance the decisions made by various automated applications.
