Dynamically filtering and classifying messages, as good messages, bulk periodicals, or spam. A regular expression recognizer, and pre-trained neural networks. The neural networks distinguish “likely good” from “likely spam,” and also operate at a more discriminating level to distinguish among the three categories above. A dynamic whitelist and blacklist; sending addresses are collected when the number of their messages indicates the sender is good or a spammer. A dynamically selected set of regular expressions input to the neural networks.

A method for determining a radiation treatment plan for a radiotherapy system providing multiple individual rays of intensity modulated radiation iteratively optimized the fluence of an initial set of such rays by a function that requires knowledge of only the prescribed dose and the dose resulting from the particular ray fluences. In this way, the need to store individual dose distributions of each ray are eliminated.

As part of this user-to-user trading, a user can accept a buy or sell offer at the terms offered or he can initiate a counteroffer and negotiate a trade.

The present invention discloses systems and methods for automating the EII, using a smart integration engine based on metadata. On-line execution (i.e. data access, retrieval, or update) is automated by integrating heterogeneous data sources via a centralized smart engine based on metadata of all data sources managed in a metadata repository. The data-source assets are mapped to business metadata (terminology) giving programmers the ability to use business terms, and overcome technical terms. IT departments can use the business-level terms for easy and fast programming of all services “at the business level”. The integration is performed by the engine (via pre-configuration) automatically, dynamically, and on-line, regardless of topology or technology changes, without user or administrator intervention. MDOA is a high-level concept in which the metadata maps the technical low-level terms to business high-level terms. MDOA is used for seamless integration of a fully-distributed organization with many data sources and technologies.

A digital image processing method for determining an orientation of a face in a digital color image generates a mean grid pattern element image from a plurality of sample face images and an integral image from the digital color image. A face is located in the color digital image by using the integral image to perform a correlation test between the mean grid pattern element image and the digital color image at a plurality of effective resolutions by reducing the digital color image to a plurality of grid pattern element images at different effective resolutions and correlating the mean grid pattern element image with the plurality of grid pattern element images, whereby either the mean grid pattern element image or the grid pattern element images are provided at a plurality of different orientations. Accordingly, an orientation of the face in the color digital image is determined by using the images with different orientations in the correlation test.

A system and method for use with a virtual machine, including an adaptive, automated memory management process that takes decisions regarding which garbage collector technique should be used, based on information extracted from the currently active applications. Reinforcement learning is used to decide under which circumstances to invoke the garbage collecting processing. The learning task is specified by rewards and penalties that indirectly tell the RLS agent what it is supposed to do instead of telling it how to accomplish the task. The decision is based on information about the memory allocation behavior of currently running applications. Embodiments of the system can be applied to the task of intelligent memory management in virtual machines, such as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

A prefetching technique referred to as future execution (FE) dynamically creates a prefetching thread for each active thread in a processor by simply sending a copy of all committed, register-writing instructions in a primary thread to an otherwise idle processor. On the way to the second processor, a value predictor replaces each predictable instruction with a load immediate instruction, where the immediate is the predicted result that the instruction is likely to produce during its nth next dynamic execution. Executing this modified instruction stream (i.e., the prefetching thread) in another processor allows computation of the future results of the instructions that are not directly predictable. This causes the issuance of prefetches into the shared memory hierarchy, thereby reducing the primary thread's memory access time and speeding up the primary thread's execution.

A method and apparatus for processing (transporting) data, such as in a data warehouse system. In one embodiment, the data are received from a source and compared to data in a lookup cache comprising a subset of data from a first data set (e.g., a dimension table). Instances of the data not present in a lookup cache (that is, new data) are identified. Information corresponding to these instances are generated (e.g., a unique identifier is associated with each of these instances), and the first data set is updated accordingly. The lookup cache is then updated with the new data and the unique identifiers. Accordingly, the information (data) in the lookup cache and in the first data set are in synchronization. The lookup cache does not need to be rebuilt (e.g., to update a second data set such as a fact table).

The simulation consists of a front-end simulation and a back-end simulation. The front-end simulation can use an equivalent model at different abstraction level, or a simulation model for the back-end simulation. The back-end simulation uses the simulation result of front-end simulation so that it can run one or more simulation runs sequentially or in parallel. Alternatively, models at lower level of abstraction are simulated together with a model at higher level of abstraction in parallel using two or more simulators.

The present invention is a fast indexing technique that builds an indexing structure based on multi-level key ranges typically for large data storage systems. The invention is explained based on the B⁺-tree. It is designed to reside in main memory. Point searches and range searches are helped by early termination of searches for non-existent data. Range searches can be processed depth-first or breath-first. One group of multiple searches can be processed with one pass on the indexing structure to minimize total cost. Implementation options and strategies are explained to show the flexibility of this invention for easy adaption and high efficiency. Each branch of any level has exact and clear key boundaries, so that it is very easy to build or cache partial index for various purposes. The inventive indexing structure can be tuned to speed up queries directed at popular ranges of index or index ranges of particular interest to the user.
