This invention provides a method of identifying clinically relevant, evidence based medical literature on diseases and their treatment to physicians, nurses and other healthcare personnel. This method accesses a medical literature database that is then searched using a medical literature classification system identifier for a disease integrated with an evidence based medicine search filter. In conjunction with identifying the evidence based medical literature, a database of articles selected and reviewed by experts that concern the disease is also searched. The results of both searches are then displayed to the user. This invention can be implemented through the use of an encoded computer readable medium.

A computerized search filtering method includes receiving on a client system a query from a querier; receiving a selection for a filter record from the querier, the filter record including a set of filter elements; retrieving the filter record from a filter-record database; transferring the query and the filter record to a search filter; adding at least one of the filter elements to the query to generate an amended-query; performing a document-corpus search to identify a set of documents relevant to the amended-query; identifying a subset of the documents that include at least one of the filter elements; and displaying on a display of the client system a set of search results for the subset of the documents.

An apparatus and method for generating and displaying a schema diagram of a database includes a schema diagrammer that automatically queries a database to determine its objects and relationships, and generates a graphical representation of the database in the form of a schema diagram that is displayed to the user. The schema diagrammer may optionally include a search filter to potentially constrain which objects and relationships in the database are included in a diagram data file, and a display filter to potentially constrain which objects and relationships stored in the diagram data file are displayed in the schema diagram.

A tabulating system and method analyzes content posted and / or queried by an online community. The content can be searched based on a search filter executed at defined intervals, and the system can also reach through to locate and extract content from other remote systems. Community postings and queries can be tabulated to determine “hot topics” of interest to the community, to enhance the appeal and stickiness of a website. Furthermore, subscribers can also formulate and define their own custom searches to be run on their behalf to identify the existence of particular content on the website.

A system and methods through which pictorial views of an object's configuration, arranged in a hierarchical fashion, are navigated by a person to establish a visual context within the configuration. The visual context is automatically translated by the system into a set of search parameters driving retrieval of structured data and content (images, documents, multimedia, etc.) associated with the specific context. The system places “hot spots”, or actionable regions, on various portions of the pictorials representing the object. When a user interacts with an actionable region, a more detailed pictorial from the hierarchy is presented representing that portion of the object, along with real-time feedback in the form of a popup pane containing information about that region, and counts-by-type reflecting the number of items that are available within the system associated with the specific context and search filters established at that point in time.

The invention provides a DSSS signal detection identification method, comprising the steps of: 1, calculating the power spectrum of a received signal, performing logarithm operation on the power spectrum, using a logarithm operation result as a detection signal, and using the power spectrum of the detection signal as a detection spectrum; 2, filtering the detection spectrum; 3, searching filtered signals for a maximum value Vmax, and calculating the mean value Vmean of the filtered signals; 4, using the ration between the Vmax and the Vmean as a detection characteristic value E, i.e., E= Vmax / Vmean; and 5, comparing the E with a preset threshold value ethreshold, and determining the received signal to be a DSSS signal if E>ethreshold. The method fully utilizes the frequency domain and time domain periodicity of pseudo-code components in the DSSS signal, and employs the logarithm operation to increase the discrete components lost in continuous quantity, thereby reducing the noise influence to performance identification; the method is easy to realize, and has high signal identification efficiency.

The invention discloses a warning method and a warning system for filter elements of water purifiers. The warning method includes steps of acquiring water quality parameters, receiving the water quality parameters by the aid of a microcontroller and counting and monitoring states of the filter elements of the water purifiers according to the water quality parameters; receiving the states, which are monitored by the microcontroller, of the filter elements of the water purifiers by the aid of a subserver and forwarding the states of the filter elements of the water purifiers to a remote server;receiving the water quality parameters, finished water improvement values, filter cumulative time and total filtered water volumes of each water purifier by the aid of the remote server, acquiring water hardness parameters according to received data, searching filter element service life algorithms from preset filter element service life algorithm tables and issuing the corresponding filter element service life algorithms to the microcontroller. The filter element service life algorithms correspond to the water hardness parameters. The warning method and the warning system have the advantagesthat the filter element service life algorithms for each water purifier can be updated by the remote server in real time; water quality change in different regions and different seasons is monitored and is combined with the use states of the filter elements, the filter element algorithms can be updated in real time, and accordingly the service lives and use of the filter elements of the water purifiers are close to practical use conditions.

Parties involved in transacting business in an E-marketplace (E-marketplace participants) each identify and submit to the E-marketplace relevant characteristics related to their privacy-use needs (those that they adhere to, referred to as “privacy policies”; those that they require, referred to as “privacy preferences”, or both). The privacy policies and privacy preferences of the E-marketplace participants are then matched up, and those with matching characteristics are given access to each other, while those that do not match up are denied access to each other. This serves as a search filter to match up consumers with providers.

A process for generating SQL queries to retrieve requested information from a database, whilst applying requested search filters, involving defining a “base” query, which is the simplest SQL query that can be executed to retrieve the information requested by the user (i.e. without applying any search filter), and then use a separate module for each search filter to detect the existence of the table that is required to apply that filter, and possibly add a “WHERE” condition that includes the required table using a sub-query. For each module, if the table required to filter a particular attribute exists in the current query, the “WHERE” condition is added on that table, without adding any sub-query. If on the other hand the required table does not exist in the current query, a sub-query that navigates associations from the tables involved in the current query to the required on is added, and the “WHERE” condition is added to the required table within the sub-query.

Validations rules are generated and performed on desired records in a computer system database without requiring programs, scripts or queries to be written. A validation expression returns a Boolean result that signifies a success or failure result and may be performed manually or automatically.

An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet Protocol (IP) content within a system that includes a bypass architecture, using a Session Encapsulation Information Database (SEIDB). Within an existing PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) framework used as a control plane for IP content bypass flow setup, the SEIDB system stores session bypass encapsulation information for IP content bypass flows within the system. Within the SEIDB, each entry of bypass encapsulation information has a flow classifier component that uniquely identifies a bypass flow in a manner that allows both a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and the IP content source to uniquely identify the bypass flow at the SEIDB. Initially, the CMTS gathers bypass encapsulation information and uploads it to the SEIDB. Before the bypass flow begins, the IP content source obtains the necessary bypass encapsulation information from the SEIDB, e.g., using a flow classifier as a search filter item.
