Patent number: 7840392Abstract: Output feedback pole placement problems with parameter drift are solved with stabilizing solutions. Changes in system parameters trigger alerts in an automated manner. A representative method includes determining a set of solutions for an output feed pole placement problem, based on parameters of a physical system. The solutions are stable and well-conditioned for monitoring changes to the parameters of the physical system. The physical system is adjusted, or controlled, based on the solutions determined. Updated parameters of the physical system are acquired. A set of updated solutions for the output feedback pole placement problem are determined based on the updated parameters. The physical system is then adjusted, or controlled, based on the updated solutions determined. A system manager may also be notified of the updated parameters and/or the updated solutions. Furthermore, changes within the system may be monitored, and/or potentially critical changes within the system may be detected.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2008Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mei Kobayashi, Kaiyang Yang

Patent number: 7219089Abstract: A data retrieval system having a database storing data as a vector that has been digitized based on a keyword. The system has capability of generating a residual vector from the data to compute a covariance matrix and an eigenvector of the covariance matrix. The system further has the capability for generating and storing a set of basic vectors from the set of the computed eigenvectors, and for reading out the data and at least one of the eigenvectors from a memory. This is utilized to compute a contribution of the eigenvector to the data, and for contracting or enlarging a residual vector to store. The system selects a keyword to be used for labeling according to a similarity between the stored basic vector and the data, and a weight on the similarity so as to store the keyword in a memory.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2003Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mei Kobayashi, Masaki Aono

Patent number: 7216129Abstract: A method is provided for retrieving information from massive databases (i.e., databases with millions of documents) in real time, that allows users to control the trade-off between accuracy in retrieved results and response times. The method may be applied to databases with contents, i.e., documents which have been modeled with a clearly defined metric that enables computation of distances between any two documents, so that pairs of documents which are “closer” with respect to the metric are more similar than pairs of documents which are “further apart”. Our method can be applied to similarity ranking and/or can be combined together with other methods to increase the scalability of information retrieval, detection, ranking, and tracking.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2003Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Masaki Aono, Michael Edward Houle, Mei Kobayashi
