Publication number: 20100189226Abstract: The present invention is a self-contained mobile inspection system and method and, more specifically, improved methods and systems for detecting materials concealed within a wide variety of receptacles and/or cargo containers. In particular, the present invention is an improved method and system for inspecting receptacles and/or cargo containers using a single boom placed on a turntable with pivot points to allow for folding and unfolding of the boom, such that the inspection system is relatively compact in a stowed configuration and has a low center of gravity lending to greater stability.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2008Publication date: July 29, 2010Inventors: Andreas Kotowski, Neeraj Agrawal

Publication number: 20100135458Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual energy X-ray apparatus and method for osteoporosis assessment and monitoring. The present invention takes a bone densitometry reading of a patient's wrist to assess osteoporosis and monitor bone loss condition by repeat measurements along with therapy. The bone densitometry system has an X-ray source, dual energy detectors, an arm-rest to place the patient's arm, a motion system to move the source-detector gantry along the patient's forearm, and a computer with a database to archive the wrist image, calculate the bone mineral density, maintain a history of patient information, and generate patient history reports.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2009Publication date: June 3, 2010Inventors: Neeraj Agrawal, Manoocher Mansouri Aliabadi, Christian Wulff, Kahn-Tze Andrew Lim

Publication number: 20100011411Abstract: Policy is defined for usage of computing assets (including remote, or external, assets) in a computing environment. The policy may identify the assets by (for example) asset name, asset type, asset version, location in a repository, or some combination thereof. Policy definitions for remote assets are provided in a consistent manner. Policy for particular assets (for example) may vary from one role to another. Policy definitions are preferably used when initializing a computing environment, and also when subsequently importing an asset into that computing environment. The disclosed techniques may also, or alternatively, be used to ensure that a secure computing environment is created whereby only hardware and/or software in a policy can be installed into the computing environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2008Publication date: January 14, 2010Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Charles D. Bridgham, Neeraj Agrawal

Publication number: 20090116614Abstract: The present invention is directed to a portable inspection system for generating an image representation of target objects using a radiation source. A detector array having a first configuration and a second configuration is connected to a housing and at least one source of radiation. The radiation source is capable of being transported to a site by a vehicle and of being positioned separate from the housing. The radiation source is housed in a radiation source box and movable within the radiation source box using an actuator. The actuator is operably connected to the radiation source and provides a translational energy that moves the radiation source between an operational position and a stowed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2008Publication date: May 7, 2009Inventors: Andreas Kotowski, Neeraj Agrawal

Publication number: 20060248087Abstract: A system and method of retrieving data from a database comprising unstructured data comprises specifying a text analytic component in an unstructured text query at query runtime; submitting the unstructured text query to a web service database; filtering unstructured text data in the web service database based on constraints defined in the text analytic component in the query; and receiving the filtered unstructured text data based on the submitted query from the web service database, wherein the text analytic component comprises metadata requirements. Preferably, the constraints comprise any of positive sentiments regarding an unstructured text document and negative sentiments regarding the unstructured text document. Alternatively, the constraints may comprise any of name spotting constraints, address spotting constraints, date spotting constraints, and entity spotting constraints. The filtering preferably occurs using a web-based callback service specified in a WFQL XML document.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Neeraj Agrawal, Scott Holmes, Kiran Mehta, Sumit Negi
