The present system can perform machine learning of prototypical descriptions of data elements for extraction from machine-readable documents. Document templates are created from sets of training documents that can be used to extract data from form documents, such as: fill-in forms used for taxes; flex-form documents having many variants, such as bills of lading or insurance notifications; and some context-form documents having a description or graphic indicator in proximity to a data element. In response to training documents, the system performs an inductive reasoning process to generalize a document template so that the location of data elements can be predicted for the training examples. The automatically generated document template can then be used to extract data elements from a wide variety of form documents.

A system-on-chip arrangement having, in possible combination with a processor, a plurality of reconfigurable gate array devices, and a configurable Network-on-Chip connecting the gate array devices to render the arrangement scalable. The arrangement lends itself to be operated by mapping in one device of the gate array a set of processing modules, and configuring another device of the plurality of gate array devices as a microcontroller having stored therein software code portions for controlling inter-operation of the processing modules stored in the one device of the plurality. The arrangement is thus adapted, e.g., to handle different computational granularity levels.

An air flow producer of non-rectangular shape is adapted for installation in a rectangular opening of a drop ceiling. In preferred form, the producer has a circular housing with an open bottom covered with a grill. A fan with a rotary blade assembly is mounted in the housing to produce a downward air flow, and a circular metal band surrounding the rotary blade assembly defines an air discharge zone centered in the grill and an annular air intake zone surrounding the discharge zone. Flow rates are optimized by positioning the band close to the grill. The grill is preferably integrally molded with a rectangular flange that seats in the drop ceiling opening. The flange supports the housing from the framework and closes the opening to prevent the producer from drawing air from the plenum above the drop ceiling.

An active optical zoom system changes the magnification (or effective focal length) of an optical imaging system by utilizing two or more active optics in a conventional optical system. The system can create relatively large changes in system magnification with very small changes in the focal lengths of individual active elements by leveraging the optical power of the conventional optical elements (e.g., passive lenses and mirrors) surrounding the active optics. The active optics serve primarily as variable focal-length lenses or mirrors, although adding other aberrations enables increased utility. The active optics can either be LC SLMs, used in a transmissive optical zoom system, or DMs, used in a reflective optical zoom system. By appropriately designing the optical system, the variable focal-length lenses or mirrors can provide the flexibility necessary to change the overall system focal length (i.e., effective focal length), and therefore magnification, that is normally accomplished with mechanical motion in conventional zoom lenses. The active optics can provide additional flexibility by allowing magnification to occur anywhere within the FOV of the system, not just on-axis as in a conventional system.

In varying embodiments, the fault tolerant linear actuator of the present invention is a new and improved linear actuator with fault tolerance and positional control that may incorporate velocity summing, force summing, or a combination of the two. In one embodiment, the invention offers a velocity summing arrangement with a differential gear between two prime movers driving a cage, which then drives a linear spindle screw transmission. Other embodiments feature two prime movers driving separate linear spindle screw transmissions, one internal and one external, in a totally concentric and compact integrated module.

A folding score having a pair of laterally spaced, parallel scoring grooves which are individually asymmetrical. This invention also relates to a method and apparatus for forming the folding score.

A method and a system for scaling a digital source image consisting of a grid of X by Y pixels into a target image of a different resolution comprises the steps of/tools for: mapping the source pixels onto the target pixels; scaling the source image in the X or Y direction to produce intermediate pixels that are scaled in one direction by determining contributions to each intermediate pixel using a digital filter and accumulating the contributions for each intermediate pixel, wherein each source pixel contributes to one or more intermediate pixels and each intermediate pixel receives contributions from one or more source pixels; and subsequently scaling the intermediate pixels in the other direction by determining the contributions to each target pixel using the filter and accumulating the contributions for each target pixel; wherein each intermediate pixel contributes to one or more target pixels and each target pixel receives contributions from one or more intermediate pixels. The method is preferably carried out on a PE array in an SIMD (Simple Instruction Multiple Data) device.

A well advisor system and console for monitoring and managing well drilling and production operations. The system may be accessed through one or more workstations, or other computing devices, which may be located at a well site or remotely. The system is in communication with and receives input from various sensors. It collects real-time sensor data sampled during operations at the well site. The system processes the data, and provides nearly instantaneous numerical and visual feedback through a variety of graphical user interfaces (“GUIs”), which are presented in the form of an operation-specific console. The input and data provides information related to rate of penetration concerning a well being drilled, and present the information for related parameters in real time against a plotted “fairway” of determined maximum and minimum values, with a focus on the safety of the drilling operation.

A perfume-containing PIT emulsion which is suited to contribute to an excellent and long-lasting scenting of textiles during the use of a dryer. The PIT emulsion is simple for the user to handle and allows the user to better control the user's individual scent experience during the handling of textiles. The PIT emulsions can also be used for aroma therapy purposes and for the scenting of rooms. In addition, a kit made of detergents and the perfume-containing PIT emulsion, which enables the user to obtain optimal laundry scenting results.

A broadband signal amplifier includes one of more broadband amplifier circuits, each dynamically controlled in response to a total power level of signals applied thereto to reduce linearity in response to a reduction of input signal strength. A filter may couple the output of the broadband amplifier circuits to each other to form a tandem arrangement. Power detectors are connected to detect and provide outputs indicative of the total power levels of the signals applied to respective broadband amplifiers. A control unit is connected to and receives the output from the power detectors and, in response, provides a control signals to the broadband amplifier circuit so as to operate each over portions of their operating characteristic curves that provide only that degree of linearity necessary to limit distortion to a predetermined or dynamically adjustable maximum acceptable level.

A three-part solvent composition that contains A) a C₁ to C₄ lactate ester, B) ethyl 3-ethoxy propionate and C) a C₇-C₁₂ hydrocarbon mixture is disclosed that is a homogeneous liquid at zero degrees C. A contemplated solvent blend provides performance properties that can replace toxic ketones, but does not contain any ketone groups in any of the components.
