Abstract: Various aspects of a system and method for providing an online knowledge product. The system, implemented in a server communicatively coupled to an electronic device, comprises one or more processors operable to receive a request from the electronic device associated with a first user. The request comprises a request order and one or more user preferences. One or more knowledge models are selected from one or more pre-stored knowledge models based on the received request. The one or more pre-stored knowledge models are generated based on one or more previous requests. The one or more previous requests are similar to at least a portion of the received request. The one or more processors further determine a first knowledge product based on the selected one or more knowledge models. An input from a second user on the determined first knowledge product is received to determine a second knowledge product.

Abstract: A method for controlling one or more remote vehicles may comprise manipulating remote dexterous manipulators, translating movement of the remote dexterous manipulators into movement of the one or more remote vehicles, and providing a sliding work window allowing control of the one or more remote vehicles' entire range of motion without sacrificing control resolution.

Abstract: A haptic interface system includes a cable based haptic interface device and a controller. The controller receives information related to movement of a grip in real-space and generates a stereoscopic output for a display device. The stereoscopic output includes images of a virtual reality tool whose motions mimic motions of the real-space grip.

Abstract: A method for estimating the relative impact of two or more patent portfolios belonging to one or more companies is disclosed. Each patent of a patent portfolio is categorized into at least one market segment. A Technological Strength Index (TSI) is computed for each patent based on patent citations. An Economic Impact Index (EII) value is computed for each market segment based on the market size and market growth rate of the market segment, and the market share of the company in each market segment. A Company Innovation Efficiency Index (CIEI) value is computed for the patent portfolio based on the R&D expenditure of the company and the number of patents granted to the company. TSI and EII values of patents in a patent portfolio, and the CIEI value of the patent portfolio are used to compute an Overall Index for the patent portfolio. A similar exercise is carried out for all the portfolios being analyzed. The Overall Index provides a relative measure of the impact of the patent portfolios.

Abstract: A throughflow locking element (20, 30) for an infusion pump receives a flexible infusion tube and is provided with a clamp valve (20; 21, 22). The clamp valve (20) has two openings (23, 24) through which the flexible infusion tube can be introduced. Said clamp valve has a lockable closed position and an open position in relation to the throughflow through the flexible infusion tube and can be inserted in a holder (30) in the infusion pump in a positive fit. A drive element (31) is provided in the infusion pump, enabling the clamp valve (20) to be moved from the open position into the lockable closed position and vice-versa, whereby the throughflow locking element (20) is sealed in a secure manner prior to removal of the flexible infusion tube from the infusion pump.

Abstract: A method and representation system for graphical objects for fast calculation of interactions between said graphical objects being defined through a first closed geometrical curve is provided. Every object is represented through at least two nodes and neighboring nodes are connected through a skeleton line. A bounding object is attributed to every node defining sections in the neighborhood of every node wherein said sections forming a second closed geometrical curve being entirely inside or entirely outside of said first closed geometrical curve. A mean distance of a boundary object from a skeleton line or two points on the said skeleton line of both graphical objects in direction of the connection line of the minimum distance between said skeleton lines is calculated. A comparison is made between the sum of values for both graphical objects on the connection line of the distance and said distance to device.
