Patent number: 11651235Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for generating a candidate set of entities from a training set of entities is provided. The present invention may include determining an ontology class for an input entity in the training set of entities. The present invention may include adding the input entity to an ontology list. The present invention may then include assigning an entity score to the input entity. The present invention may also include normalizing the ontology list of entity scores. The present invention may lastly include selecting the candidate set of entities with the highest entity score.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: William S. Spangler, Alix Lacoste, Katherine Shen, Hrishikesh Sathe, Jacques Labrie

Patent number: 10926866Abstract: A positioning and position maintaining device comprises a solenoid having an armature and an electromagnetic holder. The solenoid is arranged to effect positioning of an object upon translation of the armature and the electromagnetic holder is arranged to effect position maintaining in order to maintain the object in the position effected by the solenoid. An apparatus for aircraft autopilot and manual control feel-force control switching comprises an autopilot mechanism and the positioning and position maintaining device. The positioning and position maintaining device is arranged to engage the autopilot mechanism and maintain the engagement thereof. A method of switching between autopilot and manual control in an aircraft is also envisaged.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: RATIER-FIGEAC SASInventors: Pierre-Jacques Labry, Benoit Mazars

Patent number: 10607720Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for associating gene expression data with a disease name. A first data set associated with a plurality of genetic probes for a plurality of biological samples may be received. The first data set may be sorted based on a normalized gene expression values for the plurality of genetic probes. A largest value gap of the normalized gene expression values may be identified. A set of expressed genes within the first data set may be identified. An indexable document may be generated for a biological sample of the plurality of biological samples comprising data associated with the set of expressed genes. A second data set associated with an expressed gene of the set of expressed genes may be searched. A disease name may be associated with an expressed gene based on a threshold correlation between the disease name and the expressed gene.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Linda H. Kato, Jeffrey T. Kreulen, Jacques Labrie, William S. Spangler, Ignacio G. Terrizzano

Patent number: 8093442Abstract: The method of the invention provides means of destroying highly stable metal cyanide ions found in a solution, and converting the cyanide to harmless by-products. Contrary to conventional methods which merely complex the cyanide into a mechanically or physically removable complex, the present method destroys the cyanide found in the sample. The invention is directed to a method of destroying cyanide comprising providing a highly alkaline solution containing a metal cyanide ions; and subjecting the solution to electro-oxidation.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Rio Tinto Alcan International LimitedInventors: Jacques Labrie, Hugues Menard

Patent number: 5717925Abstract: A computer implemented information catalog database system is disclosed for cataloging information stored in one or more data storage resources under the control of one or more data processing nodes. The catalog system includes a cataloging service facility for performing one or more information cataloging functions to organize and present a graphical view of the information stored in the data storage resource. The information cataloging functions are categorized into a plurality of defined function categories. An object generation facility generates one or more meta-data objects corresponding to units of information stored in the data storage resource. The meta-data objects contain attributes defining characteristics of the information units to which they correspond and the meta-data objects are assigned to one or more of the function categories to define the information cataloging functions which may be performed on the meta-data objects.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1996Date of Patent: February 10, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lloyd Harper, Jacques Labrie
