Abstract:

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for generating search results based on user feedback. A request may be received to generate search results retrieved using a search string. The request may include user feedback for one or more selected documents of the search results. Improved search results may be generated based on the search results and the feedback for one or more selected documents of the search results. The improved search results may be output to a graphical display device.

US Classification:

707737

Abstract:

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for detecting a duplicate document. A plurality of documents may be assigned to categories, each category corresponding to a collection of duplicates, or near duplicate documents. A new document may be received. The new document may be evaluated against each category to determine a similarity score between the new document and each category. The new document may be identified as a duplicate based on the similarity scores and thresholds for each category. An action may then be performed on the duplicate based on duplication rules. The thresholds and duplication rules may be customized by a user.

International Classification:

G06F 15/18

US Classification:

706 12

Abstract:

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for identifying a training document for a content classifier. One or more thresholds may be defined for designating a document as a training document for a content classifier. A plurality of documents may be evaluated to compute a score for each respective document. The score may represent suitability of a document for training the content classifier with respect to a category. The score may be computed based on content of the plurality of documents, metadata of the plurality of documents, link structure of the plurality of documents, user feedback (e. g. , user supplied document tags) received for the plurality of documents, and document metrics received for the plurality of documents. Based on the computed scores, a training document may be selected. The content classifier may be trained using the selected training document.

US Patent:

Filed:

Feb 19, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/702891

Inventors:

Michael J. Moran - Raleigh NC
Joseph B. Lohr - Chapel Hill NC

Assignee:

USM Corporation - Farmington CT

International Classification:

G01G 1952
G01G 2122

US Classification:

177145

Abstract:

A weighing bucket receives product dumped from an overlying holding bucket and causes an underlying load cell to produce an electrical signal representative of the weight of the product in the weighing bucket. After being weighed, the product is swept out of the weighing bucket by a high volume blast of low pressure air produced by an air entraining nozzle. As a result of using air to empty the weighing bucket, the weighing bucket requires no doors or other moving parts and thus may be constructed with high stiffness and with a high natural frequency to reduce low frequency disturbances of the weight signal and to improve the accuracy of such signal as well as to reduce the time required for the weighing cycle.

International Classification:

G01G 1322
G01G 1922
G01G 1316

US Classification:

177 99

Abstract:

A computerized scale in which each weighing bucket is formed by two side-by-side compartments and by a single door which shuttles back and forth between two positions beneath the compartments. Each time the door changes positions, it closes one compartment to permit product to be dropped into and weighed in such compartment and, at the same time, opens the other compartment to permit previously weighed product to fall therefrom. As a result, one compartment is filled as the other compartment is being emptied so as to significantly increase the cycle rate of the scale.

International Classification:

G01G 1922
G01G 1324
G01G 1314

US Classification:

177 1

Abstract:

An improved method of taking tare weights is provided for automatic weighing machines. Periodically, the sequence of weighing cycles is interrupted in order that a tare cycle may be executed. During the tare cycle, all the weighing buckets of the weighing machine which were emptied in the last weighing cycle are weighed in their empty state. The new values for the tare weights are stored and the old values are discarded. By introducing a tare cycle between successive weighing cycles, all weighing buckets are available in each weighing cycle for finding the best combination.
