Abstract: Among other things, traces are received of activities of an online user who is associated with an entity. By analysis of the traces a security state of the entity is inferred. Also, a map is generated between (a) technical assets that contribute to security characteristics of respective entities and (b) the identities of the entities that are associated with the respective technical assets. At least part of the generating of the map is done automatically. A user can be engaged to assist in the generating of the map by presenting to the user through a user interface (a) data about the technical assets of entities and (b) an interactive tool for associating the technical assets with the identities of the entities.

Abstract: A pattern recognition system compares a set of unlabeled images (or other patterns) having a variation of state in a set-by-set comparison with individual data sets of multiple labeled images (or other patterns) also having a variation of state. The individual data sets are each mapped to a point on a parameter space (e.g., a Grassmannian manifold, a Stiefel manifold, a flag manifold, etc.), and the set of unlabeled images is mapped to a point in the same parameter space. If the point associated with the set of unlabeled images satisfies a distance criterion on the parameter space with regard to one of the points on the parameter space, the data set of unlabeled images is assigned to the class attributed to that point.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for interpolating data. A cluster module locates a plurality of variable granularity data clusters within a source data set using a center selection/clustering algorithm. A conversion selection module selects a conversion function for converting each data cluster. A norm selection module selects a norm function for each data cluster. An interpolation module converts each data cluster. In one embodiment, a cross validation module iteratively cross validates and optimizes the data conversions.

Abstract: Variations in the states of patterns can be exploited for their discriminatory information and should not be discarded as noise. A pattern recognition system compares a data set of unlabeled patterns having variations of state in a set-by-set comparison with labeled arrays of individual data sets of multiple patterns also having variations of state. The individual data sets are each mapped to a point on a parameter space, and the points of each labeled array define a subset of the parameter space. If the point associated with the data set of unlabeled patterns satisfies a similarity criterion on the parameter space subset of a labeled array, the data set of unlabeled patterns is assigned to the class attributed to that labeled array.

Abstract: A voice input system has a microphone coupled to a computing device, with the computing device typically operating a computer software application. A user speaks voice commands into the microphone, with the computing device operating a voice command module that interprets the voice command and causes the graphical or non-graphical application to be commanded and controlled consistent with the use of a physical mouse. In one form of the invention, voice commands are overlayed on normal command points of the application program. Such voice commands are stored in a separate voice command repository, with an edit mode provided to create new voice command sequences and to edit existing voice command sequences.

Abstract: An adjuvant for an elastomeric composition is made by mixing methacrylic acid with a suspension of zinc oxide in a liquid medium (such as water or alcohol) in the proportions required to form basic zinc methacrylate. Removal of the liquid from the reaction product and blending of the finely divided reaction product with an elastomer such as cis-polybutadiene yields a compositon which, when cured (for example with an organic peroxide), is hard yet resilient. Molding of the composition in the form of a golf ball produces a durable solid golf ball which has in large measure the play characteristics of a wound golf ball, and substantially retains such characteristics after extended play.

Abstract: A torsional vibration damper of the type having a hub adapted to be coupled to a rotary shaft. The hub carries an elastomer member, the elastomer member in turn carrying an inertia member. A cavity is formed at the interface between the hub and inertia members, the cavity filled with a viscous liquid. The elastomer and the viscous liquid damp torsional vibrations in the rotary shaft. By virtue of the configuration of the hub and inertia members, the elastomer also functions to seal the viscous liquid in the cavity. Further, the configuration obviates the need of separate fasteners to assemble the damper.
