Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating organization level ontology for knowledge retrieval, are provided. An input/output unit receives a plurality of documents from document sources and an ontology generation system generates the organization level ontology based on the documents. The ontology generation system extracts one or more nodes and directed relationships from each document and generates an intermediate document ontology for each document. A combination of syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic assessment of intermediate document ontology is performed to assess at least structure and adaptability of the ontology. The ontology generation system further generates a refined document ontology, based on assessment, to satisfy one or more quality metrics. Each of the refined document ontologies is integrated together to generate the organization level ontology.

Abstract: Described herein are personal care compositions that includes a carrier; a structuring agent that is ionic; and a surfactant blend comprising a zwitterionic surfactant and cetrimonium chloride.

Abstract: Systems and methods measure impedance across a user's chest during respiration to determine a rate of respiration. With AC-modulation contacts separated from impedance-measuring contacts, analog filtering to remove EMI, a bridging capacitor to remove DC noise, and digital filtering to further remove EMI, a user's respiration may be measured with the AC-modulation contacts and the impedance-measuring contacts placed at user extremities.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a location of an equipment controller within a building including a building automation system are disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a main controller of the building automation system, a request from a mobile device to locate an equipment controller. The main controller monitors one or more sensors that are in communication with the main controller for a user-initiated communication-modifying event in response to receiving the request from the mobile device. The main controller determines a hardware address of the equipment controller in response to receiving a user-initiated communication-modifying event from one of the equipment controller and of the one or more sensors.

Abstract: Image processing of printed patterns of arrays of dots generated by an array of inkjet heads uses a vision system, including an HD color camera that can be a fixed focus or include autofocus and zoom capabilities. Pattern recognition techniques are used to analyze as many patterns as necessary to perform multiple alignment functions, such as dot size, shape, and integrity; unidirectional, bidirectional, and step alignments; physical position and straightness of jet packs; flatness of platen or media belt; mapping imperfections in rods and rails of guiding systems; and checking jet alignments from a reference jet to all other jet packs. From such image analysis, correction values are generated that are used to effect manual or automatic adjustment of the inkjet heads physical position, voltage, temperature, and firing pulse timing and/or duration; and to position the printed dots fired from the nozzles in the inkjet heads in the appropriate position.
