  • Patent number: 8567277
    Abstract: A transmission device includes a gear case, a first gear, a second gear and a backlash adjusting mechanism. The first gear, the second gear and a backlash adjusting mechanism are received in the gear case. The first gear includes a shaft. The second gear is meshed with the first gear. Both of the first gear and the second gear are bevel gears. The backlash adjusting mechanism includes a resilient member and fastening member. The fastening member passes through the gear case.

  • Patent number: 8499022
    Abstract: Combining multiple clusterings arises in various important data mining scenarios. However, finding a consensus clustering from multiple clusterings is a challenging task because there is no explicit correspondence between the classes from different clusterings. Provided is a framework based on soft correspondence to directly address the correspondence problem in combining multiple clusterings. Under this framework, an algorithm iteratively computes the consensus clustering and correspondence matrices using multiplicative updating rules. This algorithm provides a final consensus clustering as well as correspondence matrices that gives intuitive interpretation of the relations between the consensus clustering and each clustering from clustering ensembles. Extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of this framework as well as the algorithm for discovering a consensus clustering from multiple clusterings.
