Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided for managing a distrusted system. The method comprises receiving, by a cluster management agent, a cluster specification update that includes a container image manifest content that describes an infrastructure of the distributed system; converting, by a runtime container engine of the cluster management agent, the container image manifest content into an operating system bootloader consumable disk image for rebooting one or more nodes in the distributed system; and initiating, by the cluster management agent, a system reboot using the operating system bootloader consumable disk image for a node in the distributed system to update the node to be in compliance with the cluster specification update. The cluster specification update is received via a local API of the cluster management agent in the absence of internet access or via a communication channel through an internet connection with the cluster management agent.

Abstract: A computerized method for determining an impact of a document on the specific concept of interest. The method can be configured to identify a cluster of clauses or sentences from a plurality of semantically similar clauses of the document and determine one or more representative concepts for the cluster of the document. An impact of each clause of the cluster is determined using one or more semantic parameters and impact analysis rules. The impact of the each sentence of the cluster is then determined using the impact of the respective clauses and subsequently, the impact of the cluster is determined using the impact of the respective sentences. Based on the impact of the cluster, an impact of the document on the one or more representative concepts is determined.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method to determine a part-of-speech (POS) category associated with a word in a text. The method includes determining a first set of candidate POS categories associated with the word based on a dictionary. The method further includes determining one or more contexts in which the word is used in the text based on a first set of rules. The method further includes determining a second set of candidate POS categories from the first set of POS categories based on the one or more contexts. The method furthermore includes determining the POS category from the second set of candidate POS categories based on a second set of rules.

Abstract: A computer based method and system for classifying a document into one or more categories. The method and system can be configured to identify one or more cluster of clauses or sentences from a plurality of semantically similar clauses of the document and determine one or more representative concepts for each cluster of the document. Accordingly, one or more categories for the document are determined from the one or more representative concepts and the document is classified into the one or more categories.

Abstract: Computer implemented natural language processing systems and methods for generating a semantic network for a specific concept of interest. The method includes identifying co-reference relationships between sentences or clusters of a corpus of documents so as to determine one or more clusters of co-referential sentences. One or more concepts or events are determined from the clauses or sentences of the clusters and relationship identification rules are processed to determine relationships between concepts or events identified in the clusters. Subsequently, the semantic network of the determined relationships is generated.

Abstract: A method and a system for automated content analysis to assess impact on one or more business organizations. Content is aggregated from at least one content provider. The aggregated content is classified in knowledge ontology on the basis of a plurality of attributes of the content. Subsequently, a score is assigned corresponding to the impact of the classified content on the business organization in accordance with a set of scoring rules. Finally, a graphical representation is generated showing a cumulative score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization assessed during a predefined time period.

Abstract: A button configuration includes a shape-changing button that has a central region and a peripheral region. The peripheral region encircles the central region and defines a surface plane. The shape-changing button has an active state and an inactive state. The central region of the button protrudes from the surface plane and provides a push button function when the button is in the active state. The central region of the button extends substantially in the surface plane and provides no push button function when the button is in the inactive state. A control panel having shape-changing buttons is also provided.

Abstract: A melt processible Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) polymer with novel end-group structure is synthesized electrophilically using Methane Sulfonic Acid containing Methane Sulfonic Anhydride or Phosphorous Pentoxide. The product so obtained shows controlled structure with elimination of reactive end group like —COOH and is therefore melt processible by conventional techniques and exhibits high thermal and mechanical properties making it useful high temperature engineering and specialty plastics. It can be extruded into a rod, film and can also be molded into commercially useful products.
