The present invention is directed to systems and methods for searching content items indexed in real-time. The method according to one embodiment comprises generating an index of word location pairs that identifies the location of one or more words in one or more content items available on a network. One or more additional content items are received over the network. The received content items are stored in a stream search queue, the stream search queue operative to allow for a stream search of the one or more additional content items.

A system and method for identifying medical procedure codes and medical diagnosis codes from physician reports that describe a vascular interventional radiology procedure using a combination of natural language processing (NLP) and human medical coders. In one embodiment, the system and method of the present invention creates billing results, and or other documents, that are compliant with applicable legal and policy instructions from the government or a medical institution. Medical billing codes are efficiently extracted from medical reports using a NLP engine and a graphical user interface optimized for understanding the VasIR medical procedure described in the report.

A system and method for determining and identifying clusters/kernels of linkings in and between Internet web pages. The analysis is based at least in part on an entropy analysis, such as by dividing a population into cyber neighborhoods, which can be geographic based and/or logically related.

The invention provides a system for providing traffic or related information including: a database storing historical traffic data being operable to receive substantially real time traffic data and associated data; means for integrating historical, real time and associated traffic data with respect to traveller profiles to produce customized forecasted traffic information with respect to those traveller profiles; and means for sending the customized forecasted traffic information to an intended recipient wherein the customized forecasted traffic information includes predicted travel delays for travel routes described in the traveller profiles.

A corneal-scleral orthokeratology contact lens is formed of rigid gas permeable material with uniform arc lengths in the treatment area even when the corneal curvature varies and asymmetric blends or splines called minor zones, where the portion of the blend or spline is shorter toward the lens center and broader toward the lens edge, and relieve the treatment area of all centering responsibility, transferring it to the limbal-scleral region. The method of determining the total sagittal height of an eye at a given chord diameter to predetermine exact fitting parameters and predict unaided visual outcome trial lenses, with exact chord and sagittal height values used to match the sagittal height of an eye, the sagittal value may be obtained from some ocular topographers. A computer program can easily take the sagittal information and design an optimum lens.

We disclose herein a method of detecting abnormalities in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, the method comprising receiving a set of ECG signals from an ECG device; amplifying only the peaks of at least some of the set of ECG signals to produce ECG beat markings from which a heart rate is derivable to detect an irregular rhythm between at least two ECG beats; extracting a single ECG beat from the set of ECG signals from the ECG device by using said ECG beat markings; feeding the extracted single ECG beat into a first neural network; producing, at the first neural network, a compact representation of the extracted single ECG signal so as to generate a feature extraction output; and using, at a second neural network, the feature extraction output from the first neural network to generate a score associated with the abnormalities in the ECG signals.

A system and method for determining and identifying dissemination and potential success of items, services, innovations and the like uses an entropy analysis to ascertain the formation of clusters/kernels of adoptions in a population. The analysis is based on dividing a population into cyber neighborhoods, which can be geographic based and/or logically related through common online interactions and experiences. Extensions of this technique can be used to identify artificial cross-linking between web pages as well, which are sometimes the cause of biased online search engine results.

A system and method for treating ophthalmic target tissue, including a light source for generating a beam of light, a beam delivery system that includes a scanner for generating patterns, and a controller for controlling the light source and delivery system to create a dosimetry pattern of the light beam on the ophthalmic target tissue. One or more dosage parameters of the light beam vary within the dosimetry pattern, to create varying exposures on the target tissue. A visualization device observes lesions formed on the ophthalmic target tissue by the dosimetry pattern. The controller selects dosage parameters for the treatment beam based upon the lesions resulting from the dosimetry pattern, either automatically or in response to user input, so that a desired clinical effect is achieved by selecting the character of the lesions as determined by the dosimetry pattern lesions.

In order to provide enhanced database-derived information, such as enhanced directory assistance, a directory assistance operator receives a request from a telecommunications system user for listing information of a business that provides a desired product or service. A merchant database, containing business listings, as well as detailed data regarding products and services sold by at least some businesses, is searched in accordance with rules that consider travel time to the merchants and other known characteristics relating to the desired product or service. The search results are then presented to the user through spoken and/or visual means.

The current invention provides an assay device for detecting an analyte in a sample solution comprising a first reagent chamber having a soluble reagent cake comprising a labeled reagent in fluid communication with an immobilized reagent section having an immobilized reagent, which is further in fluid communication with a fluid receiving section. The assay method using the device of the invention comprises applying a sample solution to the first reagent chamber, dissolving the reagent cake, and flowing the sample solution comprising the dissolved labeled reagent through the immobilized reagent section to the fluid receiving section of the device. The assay result is determined by reading a signal of the label of the labeled reagent at the immobilized reagent section or the fluid receiving section. The device preferably comprises a flow control mechanism between the first reagent chamber and the immobilized reagent section.

A decoding system includes a timing loop for use in error recovery mode operations, in which “fast decode” bit values that are used for timing recovery purposes in the normal modes of operation are replaced, at an appropriate iteration in the error recovery mode, with detected bit values from an iterative detector. The replacement occurs after a reread operation in which the timing loop maintains lock.

Disclosed is a milling and classifying apparatus, adapted to produce toner fine particles, comprising a collision mill, and an air classifier, wherein the collision mill comprises a jet nozzle room, a path, a collision plate, and a collision member mounted to a support of the collision plate at downstream of the collision plate, the air classifier comprises a dispersion room and a classification room, the classification room is disposed below the dispersion room, and a flow stabilizer is arranged at a central suction of the separator core to control swirl stream generated within the classification room so as to centrifuge the powder into coarse particles and fine particles by action of the swirl stream.
