Abstract:

A content provider broadcasts content to subscribers through a content distribution system. The content distribution system operator can capture broadcast content in accordance with policies established by the content provider and make the content available subsequent to the original broadcast in accordance with applicable business policies. Business policies are created by the content provider by modifying template information models which have associated rules. The content distributor stores the business policies and evaluates rules indicated by the business policies against attributes of a content asset to determine availability of the content asset.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707803, 704275

Abstract:

One or more classification algorithms are applied to at least one natural language document in order to extract both attributes and values of a given product. Supervised classification algorithms, semi-supervised classification algorithms, unsupervised classification algorithms or combinations of such classification algorithms may be employed for this purpose. The at least one natural language document may be obtained via a public communication network. Two or more attributes (or two or more values) thus identified may be merged to form one or more attribute phrases or value phrases. Once attributes and values have been extracted in this manner, association or linking operations may be performed to establish attribute-value pairs that are descriptive of the product. In a presently preferred embodiment, an (unsupervised) algorithm is used to generate seed attributes and values which can then support a supervised or semi-supervised classification algorithm.

US Classification:

726 1, 709223

Abstract:

A method, information processing system, and system manage network entities. At least a portion of at least one information model () for a first managed entity () and at least a second managed entity () is accessed. The portion of the at least one information model () includes a set of capabilities () associated with the first managed entity () and second managed entity (), respectively. A first set of capabilities () supported by the first managed entity () and a second set of capabilities () supported by the second managed entity () are identified based on the portion of the at least one information model (). A set of common capabilities () from the first set of capabilities () and the second set of capabilities () that is supported by both of the first managed entity () and the second managed entity () is determined.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707694, 707E17007

Abstract:

In a method for classifying policy conflicts in a managed system, a plurality of separate attributes of a policy rule is identified. The plurality of separate attributes is compared with attributes of previously stored policies rules to determine whether one or more policy conflicts exist. In response to a determination that one or more policy conflicts exist, the one or more policy conflicts are classified according to a predefined schedule.

International Classification:

G06T 7/00
A61B 6/03

Abstract:

A method and apparatus uses multi-material decomposition of three or more material components to generate material-component images from spectral images reconstructed from spectral computed tomography data. In three-component material decomposition e.g., the Mendonça method is used for multi-material decomposition when the attenuation values satisfy an assumed volume fraction condition (i.e., for a given voxel, the attenuation values are within a triangle having vertices given by unit volume fractions of three respective material components). However, when the volume fraction condition fails (e.g., the attenuation values are outside the triangle), either a shortest-Hausdorff-distance method or a closest-edge method is used for multi-material decomposition. For example, the attenuation values of the voxel are projected onto a lower-dimensional space (e.g., the space of a closest edge) and decomposed into a pair/single material component(s) of the lower-dimensional space.
