Abstract: A method for incorporating new terms in a term-vector space from a semantic lexicon includes identifying, by a computing device, a first term, the first term present in a first semantic lexicon, the first term absent from a term vector space. The method includes obtaining, by the computing device, from the first semantic lexicon, at least one second term related to the first term in the first semantic lexicon. The method includes finding, by the computing device, at least one vector in the vector space corresponding to the at least one second term. The method includes generating, by the computing device, a vector corresponding to the first term using the at least one vector corresponding to the at least one second term.

Abstract: A method for elimination of spam in a data stream according to information density, includes receiving, by a computing device, a stream of messages. The method includes directing, by the computing device, the stream into at least one buffer. The method includes repeatedly compressing, by the computing device, data in the buffer using a lossless compression algorithm. The method includes identifying, by the computing device, at least one first message in the buffer as spam, by determining that the at least one first message has been compressed below a threshold level.

Abstract: A method for following a topic in an electronic textual conversation, the method includes selecting, by a computing device, one or more primary terms related to a topic, sending, by the computing device, to at least one communication service, a first query containing the at least one primary term, receiving, by the computing device, from the at least one communication service, at least one first set of messages responsive to the first query, for each first set, extracting, by the computing device, from the first set of messages, a first plurality of additional terms, and for each term of the first plurality of additional terms, enumerating, by the computing device, the messages of the first set in which the term appears and adding the term to a list of secondary terms if the enumeration exceeds a threshold amount.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for producing a term association vector space on demand for a client given a document set in electronic form. The method extracts terms from the document set, stripping out words that do not convey meaning and adding important phrases within the context of the document set to the terms. Associations between terms are calculated, subjected to further analytical processes, and collected in a matrix, whose rows are vectors defining the vector space. Additional associational data can be added by matrix arithmetic, and documents can be rendered as further vectors in the space.

Abstract: A system and related method are disclosed for rendering a set of words linked to an n-dimensional vector space in a word cloud rendered from a two-dimensional projection of the vector space, where the user can click and drag a word, and the subspace and projection thereon will shift to place the word where the user has dragged it in a new projection, and the other words in the cloud will shift correspondingly, offering the user new insights. The importance of words in a document set is represented by word size, and relatedness between words demonstrated by color similarity.

Abstract: A system and related method are disclosed for searching a data set made up of a set of documents, a set of terms, and a vector associated with each term and each document. The method involves converting a search query to a vector in the vector space spanned by the term and document vectors, and combining vector-proximity searching and term searching to produce a set of results, which may be ranked according to various measures of relatedness to the query. Excerpts from each document in the result set may be displayed that contain the greatest term importance.

Abstract: A technique facilitates formation of communication line connections in a well environment. An electro-optic splitter enables communication line connections which comprise electrical conductor connections and optical fiber connections. The electro-optic splitter comprises a universal block which enables the electrical conductor and optical fiber to pass through the universal block while also enabling splitting of at least one of the electrical conductor and optical fiber for additional connection to one or more downhole gauges or other devices.

Abstract: A method for providing a protected splice in a hybrid cable that has a fiber optic line and an electrical line includes the steps of providing an optic splice in the fiber optic line; providing a electrical splice in the electrical line proximate to the optic splice; connecting a tube over the optic splice; installing a boot over the electrical splice; disposing the tube and the boot in a slotted sleeve; positioning the slotted sleeve within a housing; and anchoring the housing to the hybrid cable on opposing sides of the splices.

Abstract: A system and a method for adjusting the length of a cable between downhole sensors. The length adjustment system comprises a housing and at least one deforming member configured to translate relative to the housing. An actuator may be coupled to the deforming member and configured to translate the deforming member. The cable is deformed with one or more arcuate deformations, thereby reducing the length of the cable as measured relative to a straight line.

Abstract: A method for determining passive channel losses for passive channel structures (48) in electronic circuit boards includes selecting parameters from the list including driver/receiver device current and device time or device voltage and device time data, electrical environment variables, electrical data for materials used, electrical data for via structures, copper trace electrical data, connector electrical data, schematic design data and similar selected parameters. At least one selected parameter is inputted into a processor (62) for generating an output (26) based upon calculating desired output characteristics of the desired channel structure (48). The output (26) from the calculation is correlated with previously measured data for generating a resulting output planning a desired channel structure (48).

The sheet of material includes a transparent base layer and a plurality of reinforcing elements attached to the base layer. The reinforcing elements exhibit deadfold properties such that the reinforcing elements retain a desired condition. The sheet of base material is preferably a plastic material that is transparent and can withstand temperature extremes of ?30° F. to at least 375° F. The reinforcing elements are preferably formed from materials that exhibit deadfold properties, such as aluminum foil or thermoplastic or thermoset materials that include the addition of calcium carbonate or other materials.
