  • Publication number: 20040163035
    Abstract: Non-deterministic text with average word recognition precision below 50% is processed utilizing non-textual differences between words or sequences of words in the text to provide more useful information to users by resolving more than two decision options. One or more indexes that indicate non-textual differences between n-word sequences, where n is a positive integer, may be generated for use in data mining that considers the non-textual differences. Alternatively, multiple indexes may be generated using different data mining techniques that may or may not utilize non-textual differences and then the results produced by the different data mining techniques may be merged to identify non-textual differences. These techniques may be used in classifying, labeling, categorizing, filtering, clustering, or retrieving documents, or in discovering salient terms in a set of documents.

  • Publication number: 20040158469
    Abstract: Outputs of an automatic probabilistic event detection system, such as a fact extraction system, a speech-to-text engine or an automatic character recognition system, are matched with comparable results produced manually or by a different system. This comparison allows statistical modeling of the run-time behavior of the event detection system. This model can subsequently be used to give supplemental or replacement data for an output sequence of the system. In particular, the model can effectively calibrate the system for use with data of a particular statistical nature.

  • Patent number: 6706555
    Abstract: A semiconductor device assembly with a gap to be filled has thermal vias formed in the supporting substrate. After the semiconductor device is connected to the substrate and fill material positioned about the gap to create a seal, a vacuum is drawn through the thermal vias and a pressure applied to the fill material to urge the fill material into the interior of the gap.

  • Publication number: 20040046805
    Abstract: A device and a method for finding information elements (1) in one or more objects (7), the information elements (1) being storable in a storage device and the objects (7) being displayable on a display device via a graphical user interface (18). The present invention has the feature that the information elements (1) are arranged in a coordinate system of a graphically displayed object (7) so that each information element (1) has associated therewith at least one coordinate point in the graphically displayed object (7), that, for finding the desired information element (10) using the graphical user interface (18), at least one selection window (6) is present which is variable in size and shape and which allows selection of an arbitrarily-sized subset of coordinate points and associated information elements (1) of the object (7), and that the selected information elements (9, 10) are displayable on the graphical user interface (18) of the display device.

  • Patent number: 6702055
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrostatic traveling mechanism (4) that comprises a closed hydraulic circuit (6) in which a first hydraulic pump (4) with a first hydraulic engine (12) is linked with a flow pipe (7) and a return pipe (8). Said hydraulic engine (12) drives the vehicle wheels (14, 15, 18, 19) of two first vehicle axles (17, 20). According to the invention, an additional open hydraulic circuit (9) is used in which a second hydraulic engine (22) and a third hydraulic engine (24) are linked with a second hydraulic pump (5) via a supply pipe (11) and a control valve (21). Said second hydraulic engine (22) and said third hydraulic engine (24) drive the vehicle wheels (23, 25) of a second vehicle axle (36).

  • Patent number: 6549112
    Abstract: Vertical solenoid inductors have windings or layers which are arranged to minimize interwinding capacitance between adjacent layers. Each layer occupies a surface area, and adjacent layers are arranged to occupy different surface areas, except where necessary to provide electrical connection between adjacent layers. The inductors are high power inductors which have high inductances L and high current capabilities. The inductors of the present invention also have high self resonant frequencies and quality factors, while minimizing component volume.
