Abstract: A computing system generates a phonemic index for an input token and executes an approximate matching analysis on content tokens of the inverted index database based on the phonemic index for the input token. The inverted index database includes a first inverted index corresponding to phonemic indices of the content tokens and to a first orthography and a second inverted index corresponding to phonemic variants of the content tokens and to a second orthography. The computing system returns one or more search results based on the approximate matching analysis.

Abstract: A multi-model data store comprises an enrichment catalog and an enrichment memory graph. Raw data from a source raw datastore is enriched based on an enrichment function. Enriched data is stored in graph nodes with edge associations indicating the enrichment type and confidence level. The enriched data is also stored in the enrichment catalog with full breadcrumb provenance and lineage identifying, with cataloged enrichment steps, down to a record and field in the source raw datastore. Additional enriched values and associations between graph nodes can be entered in the graph by a user. Queries to the multi-model database begin in the graph and continue to the enrichment catalog. Query results include the full sequential chain of enrichments to source raw data records and fields, and may include dynamically generated virtual enrichment catalog records that link search values not found in the enrichment catalog to enrichment catalog records via the graph.

Abstract: Fuzzy string comparison between a first textual string of a first orthography and a second textual string of a second orthography is provided. The first and second textural strings are transliterated to a first phonetic spelling and a second phonetic spelling, respectively. Application of constraints of the first orthography on the first phonetic spelling and of constraints of the second orthography on the second phonetic spelling is detected. The detected constraints of the first orthography on the first phonetic spelling are reversed to generate a first revised phonetic spelling, and the detected constraints of the second orthography on the second phonetic spelling are reversed to generate a second revised phonetic spelling. The first revised phonetic spelling and the second revised phonetic spelling are compared to generate a similarity score for the first textual string and the second textual string.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a fluid pervious top sheet, a fluid impervious bottom sheet, and an absorbent core positioned therebetween. The top sheet comprises a plurality of bicomponent fibers having target friction characteristics.

Abstract: A method for treating a wound that includes incorporating a wound dressing comprising a plurality of fibers, each fiber having a length of at least two (2) inches, into a wound to cause the walls of the wound to remain apart and allow the wound to heal from the inside to the outside, and removing the wound exudate.

Abstract: A wound dressing suitable for use in negative pressure wound therapy system includes a cover layer adapted to establish a reservoir over a wound in which a negative pressure may be maintained. The cover layer includes an opening therein through which atmospheric gasses and wound exudates may pass through the cover layer. A vacuum port is affixed to the cover layer, and establishes a substantially fluid tight seal about the opening in the cover layer. The vacuum port includes a hollow interior in fluid communication with the opening in the cover layer and a connector to facilitate connection to a vacuum source. A packing member is affixed to the cover layer, to provide a wound dressing that may be applied in a single step process. The packing member is adapted to fill the wound and support the cover layer when a negative pressure is applied to the reservoir.

Abstract: A method and system for buffer flush optimization in Ethernet ring protection (ERP) networks includes generating ERP control messages to include a sub-ring identifier (SUB RING ID) and a topology change notification sequence number (TCN#). When the ERP control messages are received with the sub-ring SUB RING ID and the TCN#, the recipient is enabled to disambiguate multiple redundant ERP control messages. Additionally, a do not flush attribute bit is set for subsequently sent ERP control messages.

Abstract: A method and system for buffer flush optimization in ERP networks includes generating improved ERP control messages to include a sub-ring identifier and a topology change notification sequence number. When the improved ERP control messages are received, the recipient is enabled to disambiguate multiple redundant ERP control messages. Additionally, a do not flush attribute bit is set for subsequently sent ERP control messages.

Abstract: Operating systems can be constructed through working “in the clouds” without dependence on a specific piece of hardware. Over the Internet, an operating system is constructed based on received requests. Received requests disclose modules that are to be added to the operating system and these modules are added. A constructed operating system can be tested in context of a web server and then downloaded to an electronic device. The electronic device boots the operating system from virtual hard disk by utilization of bare metal deployment and/or non-metal deployment.
