  • Patent number: 9208217
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein provide results previewing for an interactive text mining system in order to feedback partial query results to users before all results that are responsive to a query have been found. These partial results allow the user to see the progress of their text mining query much sooner.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2010

  • Patent number: 9031926
    Abstract: A system for indexing unstructured or semi-structured data is disclosed. The system may identify regions within the data, such as “Abstract” or “References”. The system may identify linguistic units such as sentences, noun groups, verb groups. The system may also identify concepts such as companies, people, diseases, amounts, and so forth. The query results may be formatted so that similar results from different documents, or from the same document, are clustered together.

  • Patent number: 5072775
    Abstract: A foundry core blowing machine includes an upright frame with a blow head for a sand-resin mix fixed at the top. Sectionalized vertically movable rods extend through bushings at the top and bottom of the frame. Fixed to the rods are a cope support and a secondary table. The secondary table supports the cylinder of a cope-drag clamp piston-cylinder assembly with the rod of such assembly being connected to a primary table thereabove which slidably moves on the rods. The secondary table and the rods secured thereto are elevated independently of the cope-drag clamp so that the clamped cope and drag may be elevated to be clamped against the blow head, lowered for interposition of a gassing head, and reclamped for cure, all while the cope and drag remain firmly clamped together. Only after curing are the cope and drag unclamped for lowering, stripping and removal of the core from the machine.
