Patent number: 10552548Abstract: A method of forming parallel corpora comprises receiving sets of items in first language and second languages, each of the sets having one or more associated descriptions and metadata. The metadata is collected from the two sets of items and are aligned using the metadata. The aligned metadata are mapped from the first language to the second language for each of the sets. The descriptions of two items are fetched and the structural similarity of the descriptions is measured to assess whether two items are likely to be translations of each other. For mapped items with structurally similar descriptions, the mapped item descriptions are formed into respective sentences in first language and in the second language. The sentences are parallel corpora which may be used to translate an item from the first language to the second language, and also to train a machine translation system.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Jean-David Ruvini, Hassan Sawaf, Derek Barnes

Patent number: 10275332Abstract: A system for interacting with a person browsing a web site has an Internet-connected server and a connected data repository, and software executing on the server from a non-transitory physical medium. The software provides an identity function identifying the person, a selection function checking the data repository for stored information regarding the identified person, including any tracking rules associated with the identified person, and one or more tracking functions monitoring and recording behavior of the person browsing the web site. The one or more tracking functions follow the tracking rules, if any, associated with the identified person in monitoring and recording behavior of the browsing person.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Inventors: Andrey V. Ryabchun, Ramesh V. Pattabhiraman, Derek Barnes, Mark Scott, James H. Barnett

Patent number: 5781655Abstract: Strand dimension of selected strands in a layup of strands is determined by obtaining a pixel image, analyzing the pixel image to define candidate strands to be measured and their location within the image and reprocessing the image to find the opposite end points of the candidate strands and their end edges by finding areas of appropriate dimension and substantially free of edge pixels to define a strand to be examined ("magic" strand) and then determining the length and/or width of the "magic" strand.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1995Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: MacMillan Bloedel LimitedInventors: John Edward Ens, Derek Barnes

Patent number: 5764788Abstract: The orientation of strands relative to a selected axis is determined by analyzing a digitized grey scale image to select edge pixels therefrom that may define the edges of strands segmenting the image into a plurality of subimages and processing one of the subimages by defining pixel lines merging the pixel lines to form lines and culling selected one of the lines in the subimage. The subimage is then combined to co-terminus other of the subimages to form a combined subimage which is processed in the same manner by merging pixel lines to form lines and culling selected line in the combined subimage. This process is repeated by combining further subimages and processing until substantially all of the image has been processed to provide the plurality of strand lines defining strand edges and then determining the orientation of the strand lines relative to the axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1995Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: MacMillan Bloedel LimitedInventors: Derek Barnes, John E.

Patent number: 5755917Abstract: Consolidated composite wood products are produced by waferizing wet wood to produce wet green strands and processing the wet green strands by application of adhesive and formation of a lay-up mat for consolidation prior to drying. The lay-up mat is dried in mat form under conditions that maintain the applied adhesive to condition it for the subsequent consolidation step wherein heat and pressure are applied to form a consolidated composite wood product. Preferably, the mat will be formed by orienting the strands to have their longitudinal axes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the product and then the product will be remaned to produce lumber products with the longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the product.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1996Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: MacMillan Bloedel LimitedInventor: Derek Barnes

Patent number: 5676236Abstract: A strand orienter formed by a plurality of substantially planar parallel partition walls further includes a plurality of shafts extending substantially perpendicular to the partition walls, each mounting wipers in the passages in position to wipe strands that may tend to plug the orienter from the passages and off the upper edges of the partition walls over substantially the full length of these upper edges and thereby prevent plugging of the orienter.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1996Date of Patent: October 14, 1997Assignee: MacMillan Bloedel LimitedInventors: Derek Barnes, Roger Wayne Kozak, Thomas Howard Murphy
