  • Patent number: 8448087
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for navigating between sections in a display space is furnished. The sections in the display space are each assigned to a particular location of the display space, and representatives are provided which are each assigned to a particular section in the display space using an unambiguous relation. The method for navigating includes the following steps: selecting at least one representative that is assigned to a particular section in the display space with the aid of the unambiguous relation; and navigating to the particular section in the display space with the aid of the unambiguous relation with the particular section in the display space.

  • Patent number: 7825069
    Abstract: Provided herein are sets of mass labels. Each mass label in a set includes: 1) a mass marker moiety; 2) a mass normalization moiety; and 3) a cleavable linker connecting the mass marker moiety to the mass normalization moiety. Each mass marker moiety is characterized as having a mass different from that of all other mass marker moieties in the set as determined by mass spectrometry. Further, each mass normalization moiety ensures that each mass label in the set has substantially the same mass as determined by mass spectrometry.

  • Patent number: 7689629
    Abstract: A method for the use of fractal semantic networks is disclosed, wherein the fractal semantic network contains both semantic units that possess respective information contents as well as link units that describe a relation content that respectively links two semantic units such that the mutual relationship of the two linked semantic units is determined through the relation content. In that case, a knowledge network consists of category units and, as the case may be, additionally of instance units and/or Janus units. For the querying of information, classification and/or selecting of semantic sub-networks in this knowledge network, the networking of semantic units taking into consideration the type, content, composition and/or distance of other semantic units in the respective network environment can be employed. Furthermore, Janus functionality can be employed for the local classification or for the local alteration of the networking of a semantic unit.

  • Patent number: 7574053
    Abstract: A method for processing data structures with the aid of networked semantic units includes: acquiring a data structure, and generating, modifying, deleting and storing semantic structure units and networking them on the basis of the acquired data structure while using a knowledge base comprised of a network of semantic knowledge units. Semantic structure units and their network are classified in iterative steps. Based on this classification, a specific processing is activated which modifies a respective semantic structure unit and a particular partial network.

  • Patent number: 7523115
    Abstract: What is disclosed is a computer-implemented method for finding objects which are based on data structures, the method comprising the following steps: announcing a selection of objects; generating and/or invalidating a characterization of one object or several objects of the selection, with characterization being effected by means of an item of characterization information; calculating weights of the objects of the selection and/or of objects located in a vicinity of the characterized objects based on the characterization information, weights already calculated, and/or weights already stored; and modifying the selection and continuing the method from the first step until objects to be found are contained in the selection, until the method is interrupted, or until a given or calculated number of method steps has been carried out, with the possibility of terminating or interrupting the method after any one of the preceding steps.
