A system and method for detecting a concept from digital content are provided. A plurality of representations is generated for same data content for concept detection from the plurality of representations. A plurality of concepts is simultaneously detected from the plurality of representations of the same data content wherein at least one detector provides selection information for selecting the representations generated or a combination of the generated representations. This results in multiple instances of a representation being considered for concept detection.

A method, system and recording medium in which descriptors at a first granularity level are propagated, mapped, and/or classified to generate an output content having descriptors at a second granularity level that is finer than the first granularity level.

Interoperability is enabled between participants in a network by determining values associated with a value metric defined for at least a portion of the network. Information flow is directed between two or more of the participants based at least in part on semantic models corresponding to the participants and on the values associated with the value metric. The semantic models may define interactions between the participants and define at least a portion of information produced or consumed by the participants. The determination of the values and the direction of the information flow may be performed multiple times in order to modify the one or more value metrics. The direction of information flow may allow participants to be deleted from the network, may allow participants to be added to the network, or may allow behavior of the participants to be modified.

An autonomous classification device which enables the creation of autonomous classifiers that are easy to deploy, adapt and optimize in the environment in which they are used. The classifier is autonomous in that it can perform three functions that define autonomic systems: automatically configure itself in an environment, optimize its performance using the environment and mechanisms for performance, and continually adapting to improve performance and heal itself in a changing environment.

A speaker enclosure and method of building same is provided for redirecting standing waves outside the enclosure. The enclosure includes an exterior and an interior comprised of a body having six interior surfaces defining the interior. One of the surfaces has a speaker opening and another of the surfaces has a tuned port opening and defines four corners opposite the speaker opening. An element having an acoustically reflective surface faces the interior and is positioned in a plane that intersects and is inclined with respect to each of the interior surfaces that form the corner. A handle system that includes an attachment means is mounted to the exterior of the enclosure. A rotatable and detachable handle is mounted to the attachment means.
摘要:
A method of testing a sample comprising the steps of: applying an excitation to the sample; detecting a response signal from the sample; processing a first part and a second part of the response signal; and determining from the second part of the response signal information with which to enhance the first part of the response signal.

A protective sleeve disposed around a cable and a connector which are connected includes a cable sleeve and a plurality of resilient elements. The cable sleeve includes a bushing, a first ring, and a second ring. The front of the bushing is connected to the connector. The first ring and the second ring are disposed around the cable. The resilient elements are formed by extending the second ring and spaced apart from each other to form an opening for penetration by the cable. The caliber of the opening is less than the caliber of the second ring. Accordingly, the resilient elements are conducive to the positioning of the cable while the cable is penetrating the rings.

Systems and associated methods for treating contaminant-containing wastewater are provided. The systems generally include a reducing zone for reducing the oxidation-reduction potential of the water and a clean-up zone comprising zero valent iron for removing at least a portion of the contaminant from the contaminant-containing water. The systems are operable to remove one or more contaminants from the contaminant-containing water and are operable for extended durations without clogging due to the formation of iron hydroxides.

This invention relates to the simultaneous treatment of the internal and external surfaces of turbine blades or vanes. In particular it provides a process for coating an external and an internal surface of a turbine blade or vane with aluminium and chromium, respectively, at substantially the same time. The process comprises the following steps (i) and (ii) in either order: (i) applying to the external surface an aluminising compound comprising aluminium, a moderator, an energiser and a diluent; and (ii) applying to the internal surface a chromising compound comprising chromium, an energiser and a diluent. These steps are followed by (iii) heating the turbine blade or vane to form an aluminium layer on the external surface and a chromium layer on the internal surface. The invention also provides a suitable aluminising compound and a chromising compound per se.

A method author uses a method generator to create a customized project-specific method that includes first class decision elements. The decision elements are included in a meta model for a process framework, and describe actual decisions for a user to resolve. Once created, a method advisor uses the project-specific method to guide a user through architectural decisions by refining the project-specific method's process flow based upon the user's decisions. The refining includes removing activity elements and decision elements from the process flow that are not reachable by a path corresponding to the user's choice selection. The method advisor also stores the user's choice selections, along with considerations, conditions, and consequences, for the use to view at a later date.
