  • Publication number: 20170272167
    Abstract: An OLT (1) is formed by N optical transceivers (11), one PON control circuit (12), and one selection and distribution circuit (13). An optical transceiver selection control signal (SC) is transferred from the PON control circuit (12) to the selection and distribution circuit (13). The optical transceiver selection control signal (SC) indicates the timing of a discovery window, the timing of a grant, and a logical link identification number of a registered ONU assigned to the grant (a logical link identification number for a logical link with the registered ONU). The selection and distribution circuit (13) selects one optical transceiver (11-s (s is an integer falling within a range of 0 to N?1)) from the optical transceivers (11-0 to 11-N?1) based on the optical transceiver selection control signal (SC) from the PON control circuit (12).

  • Publication number: 20170262455
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for identifying relevant documents is provided. A set of documents each associated with one or more concepts is identified. At least a portion of the documents in the set are clustered based on the concepts. A matrix that provides a summary of the documents most relevant to one such concept is generated by determining for each document a measure of similarity between a concept frequency occurrence and concept weights of each cluster. The matrix is populated with the calculated measures of similarity. Those documents associated with a threshold measure of similarity are identified as the most relevant documents to one such concept.

  • Patent number: 9619551
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for generating document groupings is provided. A lexicon of terms extracted from a set of documents is generated. The lexicon includes a frequency of each extracted term within each document in the set. Concepts each having two or more of the extracted terms are generated. A subset of the documents in the set is selected based on the term frequencies. The subset of documents is grouped into clusters based on the concepts. A similarity of each document cluster is calculated with one or more documents based on a distance by summing the frequency of each term in that document and a weight of the cluster for each of the terms. The weights are updated until a rate of change for each cluster becomes constant.

  • Patent number: 9384250
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying related messages are provided. A set of messages, each having a header, sender and transmission time, is obtained. A message is selected from the set. A body of the selected message is compared to a body of a further message in the set. The further message is labeled as a duplicate of the selected message when the bodies match. The duplicate labeling of the further message is verified when the header, sender, and transmission time of the further message matches the header, sender, and transmission time of the selected message. The duplicate messages are removed from the set. The remaining messages are sorted in order of message length. A shorter message is compared with a longer message and is marked as a near duplicate of the longer message when the body of the shorter message is included in the body of the longer message.
