  • Systems, methods, and interfaces for analyzing conceptually-related portions of text
    Patent number: 9305082
    Abstract: A method includes analyzing a cluster of conceptually-related portions of text to develop a model and calculating a novelty measurement between a first identified conceptually-related portion of text and the model. The method further includes transmitting a second identified conceptually-related portion of text and a score associated with the novelty measurement from a server to an access device via a signal. Another method includes determining at least two corpora of conceptually-related portions of text. The method also includes calculating a common neighbors similarity measurement between the at least two corpora of conceptually-related portions of text and if the common neighbors similarity measurement exceeds a threshold, merging the at least two corpora of conceptually-related portions of text into a cluster or if the common neighbors similarity measurement does not exceed a threshold, maintaining a non-merge of the at least two corpora of conceptually-related portions of text.

  • Topological mapping using a conductive infrastructure
    Publication number: 20080048669
    Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for topological mapping using a conductive infrastructure. A conductive infrastructure of a structure is excited with an excitation signal. The radiated signal is received, the radiated signal being based on the excitation signal and an impedance discontinuity within the conductive infrastructure. A location associated with the impedance discontinuity is determined based on the received radiated signal.
