  • Publication number: 20110029536
    Abstract: A system and for providing reference documents as a suggestion for classifying uncoded documents is provided. A reference set of electronically stored information items, each associated with a classification code, is designated. Clusters of uncoded electronically stored information items are designated. One or more of the uncoded electronically stored information items from at least one cluster is compared to the reference set. At least one of the electronically stored information items in the reference set is identified as similar to the one or more uncoded electronically stored information items. The similar electronically stored information items are injected into the at least one cluster. Relationships are visually depicted between the uncoded electronically stored information items and the similar electronically stored information items in the at least one cluster as suggestions for classifying the uncoded electronically stored information items.

  • Publication number: 20110029530
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying relationships between concepts to provide classification suggestions via injection is provided. A reference set of concepts each associated with a classification code is designated. Clusters of uncoded concepts are designated. One or more of the uncoded concepts from at least one cluster are compared to the reference set. At least one of the concepts in the reference set that is similar to the one or more uncoded concepts is identified. The similar concepts are injected into the at least one cluster. Relationships between the uncoded concepts and the similar concepts in the at least one cluster are visually depicted as suggestions for classifying the uncoded concepts.

  • Patent number: 7661126
    Abstract: Access to an authentication image may be protected so that only authenticated processes have access to the image. The image can be displayed to authenticate a User Interface (UI) to a computer user. The image indicates the UI can be trusted. If the image is not displayed, it may be that an application UI is “spoofed” to trick a user into providing sensitive information. Additionally, a large variety of different images can be used as authentication images, so spoofing one image be recognized by most users. A set of original images may be provided, along with image modification processes which can generate a large number of variations. Techniques for authenticating UIs in a virtual machine context are provided. A secure attention sequence is also provided, which allows users to test whether processes running on a computer are authenticated.

  • Patent number: 5724498
    Abstract: Disclosed is a text justification program (20) that runs on a computer (22) in accordance with the invention. The text justification program provides an improved method for justifying text by introducing random character modifications throughout the text so that characters modified for justification purposes do not stand out.
