  • GENERATING SYNTHETIC SENTIMENT USING MULTIPLE TRANSACTIONS AND BIAS CRITERIA
    Publication number: 20130297546
    Abstract: A system is presented that provides sentiment analysis technology that takes into account the perspective or context of the individual or entity for which the sentiment analysis is being performed. Using multiple points of reference within a hierarchical head noun structure (containing head nouns of root terms and possibly dependent terms), the structure allows the system to return different outcomes depending on a user query specifying one or more head nouns to be taken as reference points for sentiment calculations. As a result, an appropriate context for sentiment analysis is determined which takes into account the perspective/context associated with the individual or entity for which the analysis is performed.

  • POLYMERIC MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20110212290
    Abstract: Polymeric Materials Manufacture of items such as seal-rings, scrolls for scroll compressors and microchip trays from polymeric materials such as polyaryletherketones, may be undertaken to minimise the risk that the shape and/or dimensions of such items may detrimentally change in use when subjected to heat and/or stress. Manufacture involves forming a component from a polymeric material under conditions which seek to limit the degree of crystallinity generated; constraining the component to the desired shape, for example using a jig; and, with the component constrained, heating the component to a sufficiently high temperature to increase, as much as possible, the level of crystallinity in the component.
