Abstract: A network system for generating application specific hypermedia content from multiple sources. The system comprises a harvesting module operable for harvesting hypermedia content on the internet from a plurality of hypermedia sources. A fragmenting module is provided which is operable for fragmenting the harvested content into discrete hypermedia fragments, wherein the hypermedia fragments have associated meta data. A data repository is provided for storing the hypermedia fragments and their associated meta data. A supply module is provided which is in communication with the data repository for supplying hypermedia fragments to the consuming applications.

Abstract: The invention provides a solution for the full integration of a coherent receiver on Indium Phosphide (InP) or other material that has a number of advantages over current coherent receiver design. PIN waveguides can be reverse biased and forward biased to modify the mode effective index so as to realize an integrated polarization beam splitting function and the 90 degree optical hybrid. The fabrication tolerance is therefore greatly increased; resulting in much reduced complexity and cost for the final receiver.

Abstract: The invention provides a data processing system and method for analysing text. The invention uses statistical text classification techniques to assist with the quality assurance of translated texts by using a one pass analysis technique and calculating and ranking probed texts with a dissimilarity score. The use of ranked items to direct, inform, guide and assist human reviewers, auditors, proof-readers, post-editors and evaluators of the accuracy of the translation. The invention provides a significant time saving and accuracy of assessing document's adherence to an enterprises corporate messaging and authoring standards and provides for a level of automated quality assurance within automated translation workflows.
