Abstract: A dynamic decision forest may be used to guide clinical or other decision queries such that multiple decision trees are followed in sequence and jumps occur between decision trees based on previously received query responses and the system's determination of what useful data has not been gathered. For example, rather than storing data concerning all possible paths between various decision trees, a system using the dynamic decision forest may determine at the time of use that a jump should occur from one decision tree to another decision tree despite the system not being pre-populated with data representative of a relationship between the source and destination of the jump. A clinical note may be created based on the path followed through the dynamic decision forest, and iterative verification may be used in order to improve the likelihood that the correct path is being followed.

Abstract: Computer memory employs single-bit logic in order to improve performance through minimizing storage size for generating user interface prompts. The user interface prompts may be used to guide clinical or other decision queries using a dynamic decision tree such that multiple decision trees are followed in sequence and jumps occur between decision trees based on previously received query responses and the system's determination of what useful data has not been gathered. Throughout the process, the computer memory performs using highly efficient single-bit data storage and retrieval. For example, rather than storing data concerning all possible paths between various decision trees, a system using the computer memory may determine at the time of use that a jump should occur from one decision tree to another decision tree despite the system not being pre-populated with data representative of a relationship between the source and destination of the jump.

Abstract: Security paper adapted to resist fraudulent alteration of toner-printed information thereon and to make such alteration or attempts at alteration evident has a maximum Scott-Bond strength of 150 J m?2; a Bendtsen roughness of not more than about 150 ml min?1; and is size press or otherwise treated with a thermally-softenable polymer composition, for example acrylic polymer or copolymer, a polyvinyl acetate polymer, a vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer, or a vinyl acetate/vinyl chloride/ethylene terpolymer. Preferably the paper has filler content of about 15% to about 20% by weight.

Abstract: Ink jet printing paper carries a pigment coating comprising (a) a major proportion of a finely divided precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) having a surface area of at least 60 m2g?1, preferably 80 to 90 m2g?1 (b) a minor proportion of a gel-type silica and (c) binder. The silica is preferably present in an amount of 15 to 30% by weight of the total dry weight of silica and PCC. The pigment coating is preferably made up as an aqueous composition having a solids content of 25 to 35% and a Brookfield viscosity of 150 to 2000 mPa s and applied by a blade coating technique.

Abstract: A decoding apparatus for decoding digital video data, comprising: a data memory comprising registers, each register being capable of storing a data strings comprising a plurality of data sub-strings such that the data sub-strings are not individually addressable; an input for receiving compressed video information represented by a matrix of data values and loading each data value in order into a respective one of the sub-strings; and processing means for performing an inverse zigzag operation on the matrix of data values by executing a series of reordering operations on the data strings to reorder the data sub-strings comprised therein.

Preferably the paper has filler content of about 15% to about 20% by weight.

Abstract: A method for performing a reordering operation on a matrix of input data values, the method comprising: loading the data values into a computer store by forming a plurality of data strings, each data string comprising a plurality of data sub-strings and each data sub-string representing at least one of the data values, and storing each data string in a register of the computer store in which its sub-strings are not individually addressable; and performing a series of data reordering steps operating on one or more of said data strings to reorder said data values; the reordering operation being a scan-wise reordering operation.
