Abstract: An electronic input document presented on a display of a client is examined to identify a text unit in the electronic input document and contextual information about the input document. A set of annotations for the text unit and the input document are determined responsive to the contextual information for the text unit. Responsive to the set of annotations, a set of candidate texts are identified from a corpus of documents that can replace the text unit. The candidate texts are evaluated in the set of candidate texts to identify a subset of the set of candidate texts as a set of replacement texts for the text unit. At least one replacement text from the set of replacement texts is presented on the display of the client.

Abstract: A user can request suggestions for text to insert at a position in an electronic input document. A set of annotations is obtained from the input document and contextual information associated with the document. A set of candidate texts from source documents are identified for the suggested text and evaluated. Each evaluation may indicate a likelihood that the corresponding candidate text is suitable to insert at the requested position of the input document. One or more of the candidate texts are presented to the client device as the suggested text to insert at the requested position of the electronic document.

Abstract: Facts are extracted from electronic documents by recognizing factual descriptions using a fact-word table to match to words of the electronic documents. The words of those factual descriptions may be tagged with the appropriate part of speech. More detailed analysis is then performed on those factual descriptions, rather than on the entire electronic document, and particularly to the text in the neighborhood of the fact-word matches. The analysis may involve identifying the linguistic constituents of each phrase and determining the role as either subject or object. Exclusion rules may be applied to eliminate those phrases unlikely to be part of facts, the exclusion rules being based in part on the linguistic constituents. Scoring rules may be applied to remaining phrases, and for those phrases having a score in excess of a threshold, the corresponding sentence part, whole sentence, paragraph, or other document portion may be presented as representing one or more facts.

Abstract: A method and system for mapping acoustic sources determined from a phased microphone array. A plurality of microphones are arranged in an optimized grid pattern including a plurality of grid locations thereof. A linear configuration of N equations and N unknowns can be formed by accounting for a reciprocal influence of one or more beamforming characteristics thereof at varying grid locations among the plurality of grid locations. A full-rank equation derived from the linear configuration of N equations and N unknowns can then be iteratively determined. A full-rank can be attained by the solution requirement of the positivity constraint equivalent to the physical assumption of statically independent noise sources at each N location.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition of matter having the structure: where Q is a multi-valent organic moiety containing isocyanurate functionality; X is H, —CH2OH, or —CH2OR?; R? is an alkyl or aryl group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; and y is at least 2. Also provided is a curable composition containing the composition of matter.

Abstract: A reaction product is useful as a crosslinking agent for polymers having functional groups reactive with the reaction product such as hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, amide, thiol, urea, carbamate and/or thiocarbamate groups, wherein the polymer includes an acrylic, polyester, polyether and/or polyurethane. The reaction product is derived from a) a polyisocyanate or polyisocyanurate, b) a hydroxyalkyl carbamate, c) an aldehyde and d) at least one monohydric alcohol.

Abstract: The present application relates to a sensitive and quantitative method using dansylated glutathione as a trapping agent for the detection of reactive metabolites in the field of drug discovery. The fluorescent tag attached to the dansylated glutathione does not impede the ability of glutathione to react with reactive metabolites.

Abstract: An automated immunostaining apparatus having a reagent application zone and a reagent supply zone. The apparatus has a carousel slide support supporting a plurality of slide supports thereon, and drive means engaging the carousel slide support for consecutively positioning each of a plurality of slide supports in the reagent application zone. The apparatus also has a carousel reagent support having a plurality of reagent container supports thereon, and drive means engaging the carousel for rotating the carousel and positioning a preselected reagent container support in the reagent supply zone. The apparatus also has a reagent delivery actuator means positioned for engaging a reagent container positioned on a container support in the reagent delivery zone and initiating reagent delivery from the reagent container to a slide supported on a slide support in the reagent receiving zone.
