  • USER BEHAVIOR BASED COGNITIVE ENGINE FOR DATA OBJECTS
    Publication number: 20120254200
    Abstract: A method and system for relating data objects according to a numerical cognitive association based on user behavior in accessing and/or retrieving the data objects. The resulting associations allow organizing the data objects in non-linear cognitive mappings which can be graphically rendered as cognitive maps. A method for merging multiple cognitive maps into a single cognitive map when cognitive associations exceed a predetermined threshold is provided; and a method for splitting a single cognitive map into multiple cognitive maps when cognitive associations fall below a predetermined threshold is also provided.

  • Implementation of media sensor and segment descriptor in ISO/IEC 14496-5 (MPEG-4 reference software)
    Publication number: 20020071030
    Abstract: An implementation of stream segments and media sensors in the reference software of MPEG-4 ISO/MEC 14496-5, is presented. In some embodiments, the implementation involves the definition of a new class in the Core module, namely segmentDescriptor, and new fields and methods in existing classes in the Core module. The implementation requires few changes to the source code of the Renderer module.

  • Compositions and methods for use in three dimensional model printing
    Publication number: 20020008333
    Abstract: Compositions for use in the manufacture of 3-D objects including compositions for use as a support and/or release material in the manufacture of said 3-D objects are provided. The compositions for use in the manufacture of 3-D objects comprise at least one reactive component, at least one photo-initiator, at least one surface-active agent and at least one stabilizer. The compositions for use as a support and/or release material comprise at least one non-reactive and low-toxicity compound, at least one surface-active agent, at least one stablizer and optionally at least one reactive component and at least one photo-initiator. Methods for manufacturing a 3-D object using the compositions of the present invention are also provided.
