  • Patent number: 7555496
    Abstract: A method for spatializing text content for enhanced visual browsing and analysis. The invention is applied to large text document corpora such as digital libraries, regulations and procedures, archived reports, and the like. The text content from these sources may be transformed to a spatial representation that preserves informational characteristics from the documents. The three-dimensional representation may then be visually browsed and analyzed in ways that avoid language processing and that reduce the analysts' effort.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2009
    Assignee: Battelle Memorial Institute

  • Patent number: 4024651
    Abstract: A variable feel side stick controller for producing and regulating feedback orces on a side stick for optimum pilot response. The controller consists of the floating table assembly which transfers the three-dimensional motion of the side stick into a two-dimensional motion. A series of hydraulic cylinders mounted on the floating table which are connected to a series of hydraulic circuits regulate the feedback forces produced on the side stick. The instantaneous position of the side stick can be determined from a series of linear potentiometers coupled to the hydraulic cylinders or from a series of force transducers connected to the hydraulic circuits. The two-dimensional floating table assembly allows use of a cam and cam follower arrangement which allows the force field to be varied with the shape of the cam.
