  • Patent number: 8115969
    Abstract: An efficient method and system to enhance digital acquisition devices for analog data is presented. The enhancements offered by the method and system are available to the user in local as well as in remote deployments yielding efficiency gains for a large variety of business processes. The quality enhancements of the acquired digital data are achieved efficiently by employing virtual reacquisition. The method of virtual reacquisition renders unnecessary the physical reacquisition of the analog data in case the digital data obtained by the acquisition device are of insufficient quality. The method and system allows multiple users to access the same acquisition device for analog data. In some embodiments, one or more users can virtually reacquire data provided by multiple analog or digital sources. The acquired raw data can be processed by each user according to his personal preferences and/or requirements.

  • Patent number: 7761391
    Abstract: A system, method, data processing apparatus, and article of manufacture are provided for classifying data. Labeled data points are received, each of the labeled data points having at least one label indicating whether the data point is a training example for data points for being included in a designated category or a training example for data points being excluded from a designated category; receiving unlabeled data points; receiving at least one predetermined cost factor of the labeled data points and unlabeled data points; training a transductive classifier using MED through iterative calculation using the at least one cost factor and the labeled data points and the unlabeled data points as training examples; applying the trained classifier to classify at least one of the unlabeled data points, the labeled data points, and input data points; and outputting a classification of the classified data points, or derivative thereof.
