  • Publication number: 20110125747
    Abstract: Data classification is used to classified input items by associating the input items with one or more classes from a set of one or more classes in a data classification system, including identifying relevant features in an input item to form a feature vector for the input item, receiving at the data classification system an indication of a point-of-view, adjusting the feature vector according to the point-of-view indication or modifying a pattern discriminator (e.g., trainer and classifier) to inline-process feature vectors depending on the provided point-of-view (e.g., SVM custom kernels), and classifying the input item into the set of classes according to the point-of-view. The point-of-view data can be introduced either as a pre-process step prior to passing it off to the pattern discrimination algorithm, or can be incorporated directly into the pattern discrimination algorithm if applicable.

  • Publication number: 20060185812
    Abstract: A doctoring apparatus for doctoring a roll surface comprises a doctor blade, a blade holder for applying the doctor blade to the roll surface, and a doctor back having a support surface on which the blade holder is adapted to slide. A locking bar is subdivided into multiple mechanically interlocked segments and is mounted by fasteners on the support surface of the doctor back for movement lengthwise in opposite directions between locked and unlocked positions. The locking bar is configured and dimensioned to fit loosely within a groove on the underside of the blade holder. In its unlocked position, the locking bar permits the blade holder to slide on the doctor back support surface into and out of an operative position adjacent to the roll surface. In its locked position, the locking bar releasably secures the blade holder in its operative position.
