Publication number: 20070073745Abstract: The method, system, and computer program provides the capability to compute measurements of the similarity between portions of text based on semantic profiles of the text portions. A computer-implemented method of determining similarity between portions of text comprises generating a semantic profile for at least two portions of text, each semantic profile comprising a vector of values and computing a similarity metric representing a similarity between the at least two portions of text using the at least two generated semantic profiles. The semantic profile comprises a vector of information values.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2006Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: Bernard Scott, Maksim Timofeyev, d'Armond Speers

Patent number: 4111075Abstract: A grinding machine is disclosed for supporting a circular saw for rotation about its own axis. The grinding machine includes a cyclically controlled clamp for successively clamping and releasing the saw; a cyclically controlled indexing arrangement for indexing the saw; a cyclically controlled grinding wheel for moving into and out of operative position and a control mechanism arranged so that the clamp is released to allow the indexing arrangement to index the saw but applied during movement of the grinding wheel through the operative position.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1976Date of Patent: September 5, 1978Assignee: Automatic Grinding Machine & Engineering Co. Ltd.Inventor: Bernard Scott Varley

Patent number: 3952616Abstract: A grinding machine having a base on which is mounted a work piece support and a grinding wheel assembly including a rotatable grinding wheel. The grinding wheel assembly is provided with adjustment mechanisms to enable the grinding wheel to be pivotally adjustable about both horizontal and vertical axes; arcuately movable in a direction which is parallel to or included within a plane containing the plane of rotation of the grinding wheel; and moved along an axis which is parallel to the rotational axis of the grinding wheel. The work piece support is also pivotally adjustable about a vertical axis and is adjustably movable along its vertical axis so that for example the teeth of a circular saw blade forming the work piece and mounted on said support can be ground by the machine.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1974Date of Patent: April 27, 1976Assignee: Automatic Machine & Engineering Co. LimitedInventor: Bernard Scott Varley
