  • Patent number: 8935154
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining authorship of an unclassified notification message is described. An unclassified notification message with one or more target sentences is received. A message model based on one or more classified notification messages stored in a data storage device is retrieved. One or more linguistic analysis procedures are performed on the one or more target sentences. Results of the one or more linguistic analysis procedures are compared with one or more characteristics of the message model. The unclassified notification message is classified based on the results of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 8908571
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating interference between from a first wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device and a second wireless TDD communications device includes processing quality-indicator reports received from the first TDD device to determine if reception at the first TDD device has experienced interference from the second TDD device. Such interference at the first TDD device may indicate that the first TDD device may also cause interference to reception at the second TDD device. Accordingly, to mitigate the possible interference from the first TDD device, an uplink configuration of the first TDD base station may be adjusted. The adjustment of the uplink configuration may include configuring reception of data packets at the first TDD base station from the first TDD device in accordance with an interference-free time interval, an unprotected time interval, or a specific portion of an associated frequency band.

  • Publication number: 20140261367
    Abstract: A tile saw for cutting a workpiece includes a frame having a guide that extends from a first end to a second end. A first engagement member and second engagement member are coupled to the frame and disposed adjacent the first end, and a third engagement member is disposed adjacent the third end. A saw is coupled to the frame and is operable to rotate a cutting blade about an axis and a table is operable to support the workpiece. A pan is positioned to support the frame and contain a quantity of coolant. A fourth engagement member is coupled to the third engagement member and a first latch is selectively coupled to the first engagement member. A second latch is selectively coupled to the second engagement member. The first and second latch and the fourth engagement member cooperate to restrict movement of the frame with respect to the pan.

  • Patent number: 8830985
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating interference between from a wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device and a wireless frequency division duplex (FDD) communications device includes processing quality-indicator reports received from the FDD device to determine if the FDD device has experienced interference from the TDD device. Such interference may be mitigated by adjusting a downlink configuration of the FDD base station in communication with the FDD device. To detect and mitigate interference from an FDD device to a TDD device, it is determined if a monitored value of an operational parameter of the FDD device is within a fixed range of a maximum value of the operational parameter, and if so, a specific time interval or frequency of the FDD device is assigned for communication purposes. Similar interference detection and mitigation techniques may also be used for interference scenarios between two TDD systems including TDD devices.

  • Publication number: 20140181983
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a monosemous (i.e., single sense) keyword list associated with a particular domain (e.g., a medical or financial domain) for document classification. An input term frequency dictionary, a candidate keyword list, and a document corpus may be used to generate the keyword list. A collection of documents is divided into two sets, one related to a target domain and one not. A statistical approach may be used to evaluate each term in the candidate list to determine a measure of how monosemous each remaining candidate term is, i.e., how strongly the term (or short phrase) identifies with a single sense. Terms with a primarily single sense related to the target domain are added to the monosemous keyword list. The keyword list may be used to identify documents associated with the domain, allowing, the appropriate protections to be applied to the document (e.g., do not send outside an enterprise boundary or permit copying).

  • Publication number: 20140174625
    Abstract: A tire having a modified geodesic belt is described. The ideal geodesic belt path is modified to select the centerline belt angle and to avoid excessive build up of the belt at the belt edges. The method includes the step of calculating the minimum three dimensional distance from one belt edge to the other belt edge preferably using dynamic successive approximation.

  • Patent number: 8751965
    Abstract: A first single-action input is received indicating a start tracking request and including information identifying a first current location of a user-controlled object on a user display device. A second single-action input is received indicating a movement of the object across the display device to a first different location and including a stop tracking request. A first display object associated with the first current location and a second display object associated with the first different location are determined. A group of selected display objects is determined including the first and second display objects. Display objects associated with locations displayed in an area spanning a first region located between the first current location and the first different location are determined, where a selection of the selected display objects is based on the first start tracking request and the first stop tracking request, with no input associated with a modifier input.

  • Publication number: 20140084075
    Abstract: A fluid flow indicator system for fluid-dispensing nozzles including a fluid passage, a sensor in communication with the fluid passage, a control in electrical communication with the sensor, a power source in electrical communication with the sensor and the control, and at least one indicator in electrical communication with the control and actuable under at least one predetermined fluid condition. The sensor measures a fluid condition in the inlet of the fluid passage and generates a corresponding output signal. The control processes the output signal from the sensor, compares the output signal with predetermined fluid condition threshold ranges, each predetermined fluid condition threshold range representing a corresponding level of fluid condition, determines the corresponding level of fluid condition, and actuates the indicator corresponding to the predetermined fluid condition to allow a user of the fluid-dispensing nozzle to perceive an indication of the level of fluid condition.

  • Patent number: 8417367
    Abstract: A manufacturing exception handling system is described for use with a manufacturing execution system that controls a semiconductor manufacturing process. The present invention provides real time information to the user that identifies restrictions that have been placed on the use of entities and inventories in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The present invention also provides real time information to the user that identifies the persons who are authorized to remove the restrictions. The present invention saves the time and effort that would otherwise be required to find out why a restriction existed and who could remove the restriction during the semiconductor manufacturing process.

  • Patent number: 7878118
    Abstract: A registration system for a rotary press including circumferential and sidelay registers designed to interface to the press unit using more direct motion translation. In particular, to go from rotational motion of a motor to linear motion of the adjustment with fewer transitions. Also discussed are measurement systems which measure the adjustments made to the plate cylinder more directly by measuring the linear movement of components acting on the cylinder as opposed to the movement of the motor or power source of the registration system. These systems can provide for more accurate movement to the various elements.
