In the present invention, a textual document is syntactically analyzed and knowledge is constructed from a single word or plural words. The knowledge is then marked, from the broken down knowledge (represented by the underscores in FIG. 1) or from a part-of-speech, as a related object (node) or a relation (edge) (represented by ‘n’ or ‘e’ shown in FIG. 1). In other words, in the present invention a textual document is treated as knowledge constructed from a single word or plural words. The knowledge extracted from the textual document is structured to form a knowledge structure (such as a graph structure constituted from nodes and edges). At least one link can be established between each of the knowledge structure elements and a semantically closest concept entry in a hierarchical concept dictionary.

A method for correlating tracking data associated with an activity occurring in a three-dimensional space with images captured within the space comprises the steps of: (a) locating a camera with respect to the three-dimensional space, wherein the camera at a given location has a determinable orientation and field of view that encompasses at least a portion of the space; (b) capturing a plurality of images with the camera and storing data corresponding to the images, including a capture time for each image; (c) capturing tracking data from identification tags attached to the people and/or objects within the space and storing the tracking data, including a tag capture time for each time that a tag is remotely accessed; (d) correlating each image and the tracking data by interrelating tracking data having a tag capture time in substantial correspondence with the capture time of each image, thereby generating track data corresponding to each image; (e) utilizing the track data to determine positions of the people and/or objects within the three dimensional space at the capture time of each image; and (f) utilizing the location and orientation of the camera to determine the portion of the space captured in each image and thereby reduce the track data to a track data subset corresponding to people and/or objects positioned within the portion of space captured in each image.

An improved method and system for processing network metadata is described. Network metadata may be processed by dynamically instantiated executable software modules which make policy-based decisions about the character of the network metadata and about presentation of the network metadata to consumers of the information carried by the network metadata. The network metadata may be type classified and each subclass within a type may be mapped to a definition by a unique fingerprint value. The fingerprint value may be used for matching the network metadata subclasses against relevant policies and transformation rules. For template-based network metadata such as NetFlow v9, an embodiment of the invention can constantly monitor network traffic for unknown templates, capture template definitions, and informs administrators about templates for which custom policies and conversion rules do not exist. Conversion modules can efficiently convert selected types and/or subclasses of network metadata into alternative metadata formats.

A method for correlating asynchronously captured event data associated with a timed activity and images associated with the events comprises the steps of: (a) capturing a plurality of images and storing the images and data corresponding to the images, including a time of image capture for each image, in an image database; (b) gathering data from one or more events associated with the timed activity and storing event data, including a time of occurrence of each event, in an event database; and (c) correlating the images and the event data in the databases by generating a time-based window that interrelates event data in the event database having a time of occurrence within the window with images in the image database having a time of capture within the window.

An echo detector correlates between an incoming signal an echo signal to determine echo delay. A preprocesssor extracts a characteristic pattern such as a binary pattern derived by thresholding an averaged power of each signal. This pattern is down sampled then used for the correlation, and delay is deduced from peaks in the correlation. Advantages include reduced computational load, or larger correlation window size, because the characteristic pattern is easier to correlate. The quantising can enhance the correlation peaks, and the averaging can limit the number of transitions, to give more robustness to noise. An echo canceller has a coarse echo delay estimator and a fine echo delay estimator. The coarse estimated delay is used to adjust a delay detection range of a fine delay detector having a narrow range. The output of the fine detector is used to adjust or suppress the adaptive echo canceller.

Methods are disclosed utilizing synchrotron X-ray microscopy including x-ray fluorescence and x-ray absorption spectra to probe elemental distribution and elemental speciation within a material, and particularly a solid that may have one or more elements distributed on a solid substrate. Representative materials are relatively homogeneous in composition on the macroscale but relatively heterogeneous on the microscale. The analysis of such materials, particularly on a macroscale at which their heterogeneous nature can be observed, provides valuable insights into the relationships or correlations between localized concentrations of elements and/or their species, and concentrations of other components of the materials. Sample preparation methods, involving the use of a reinforcing agent, which are advantageously used in such methods are also disclosed.

A method is disclosed for designing scan chains in an integrated circuit chip with specific parameter sensitivities to identify fabrication process defects causing test fails and chip yield loss. The composition of scan paths in the integrated circuit chip is biased to allow them to also function as on-product process monitors. The method adds grouping constraints that bias scan chains to have common latch cell usage where possible, and also biases cell routing to constrain scan chain routing to given restricted metal layers for interconnects. The method assembles a list of latch design parameters which are sensitive to process variation or integrity, and formulates a plan for scan chain design which determines the number and the length of scan chains. A model is formulated of scan chain design based upon current state of yield and process integrity, wherein certain latch designs having dominant sensitivities are chosen for specific ones of the scan chains on the chip. The model is provided as input parameters to a global placement and wiring program used to lay out the scan chains. Test data on the chip is then analyzed to determine and isolate systematic yield problems denoted by attributes of a statistically significant failing population of a specific type of scan chain.
