The present disclosure is directed toward global medical data analysis methods, systems, and computer program products for analyzing, classifying, and matching mass amounts of medical information from many sources and across different regions. The global medical data analysis system includes a medical main server that contains an intelligent medical engine, which is communicatively coupled to a central database, a confidential electronic medical records database, and further communicatively coupled through a network to hospitals, clinics, and other medical sources. The intelligent medical engine receives voluminous medical record, potentially from different countries, regions, and continents. Electronic Medical records are sourced from hospitals, clinics, and other medical sources, which are fed into the intelligent medical engine for large-scale analysis and correlation of patients' medical records globally. The analysis starts by degrouping (classifying) medical records into multiple levels of subgroups according to patient clinical parameters, disease templates, treatments and outcomes. When a new patient enters the system, that patient's parameters and disease template are matched against the closest subgroups to suggest treatments with potentially favorable outcomes.

A system and process for graphically displaying the results of a standard electronic search to a user on a display device via an interactive search results window in which the user views and refines search results items using a tree format. In general, the tree has a first level that indicates how the search results may be refined. The second level of the tree shows what subsets (what) are available for a particular refining method. The third level shows how the already refined (by the second level) results may be refined further. This is repeatedly applied with odd-numbered levels of the tree indicating how the results may be refined, and even-numbered levels indicating what subsets are available. In addition to the tree, the search results window also includes a listing of the search results items associated with a user-selected portion of the tree.

User interaction with a display is detected using at least two cameras whose intersecting FOVs define a three-dimensional hover zone within which user interactions can be imaged. Each camera substantially simultaneously acquires from its vantage point two-dimensional images of the user within the hover zone. Separately and collectively the image data is analyzed to identify therein a relatively few landmarks definable on the user. A substantially unambiguous correspondence is established between the same landmark on each acquired image, and as to those landmarks a three-dimensional reconstruction is made in a common coordinate system. This landmark identification and position information can be converted into a command causing the display to respond appropriately to a gesture made by the user. Advantageously size of the hover zone can far exceed size of the display, making the invention usable with smart phones as well as large size entertainment TVs.

A method, system and computer program product for managing system management agent configurations which include agent system management programs and program parameters in a distributed environment. A configuration management server sends upon request from the agents installed on the distributed system a description of their configuration. To this effect, the configuration management server maintains a database storing the agent configuration information, this database being usually updated by a system management administrator. The agents get from the server the list of peer distributed systems having the same agent configuration and their configuration from one distributed system of the list or obtain an agent configuration directly from the configuration management server if the peer distributed systems have modified their configuration. The agents advise the system management server when a new configuration has been installed.

An improved user modeling server for use in media delivery networks, wherein a plurality of applications exchange usage data via at least one user modeling server. The user modeling server has an associated function for regulating exchange of usage data between any of a first application and a second application in the set, wherein the function defines: whether the usage data are provided by the first application to the second application, and a degree of trust acknowledged by the second application to the provided usage data. The function is in the form of a bi-directional relationship, wherein any of the first and second applications is configured for accepting, refusing or negotiating the relationship. The function is preferably configured for valuating the usage data, and defining debit and credit values each application has in respect to usage data exchanged with other applications in the set.

A variable valve device modulates movement of a valve for internal combustion engine by using a hydraulic pressure. The variable valve device is controlled by a control device via a control valve that modulates hydraulic pressure supply to and discharge from the variable valve device. The control device offsets an operating amount of the control valve by an offset component that shifts the operating amount outside a dead band. The control device sets the offset component smaller as the hydraulic medium temperature increases. The control device sets the offset component smaller when a controlling direction coincides with a biasing direction of a biasing member than that when the controlling direction opposes to the biasing direction. Further, the control device cancels the offset component when the actual valve movement is sufficiently close to the target valve movement.

A vehicle speed V is read (step S1), V is compared with a first threshold Vth1 (step S2), and, when V is not less than Vth1, a warning torque is set smaller with increase in V (step S3).

The airborne platform collects solar energy above the clouds and transmits the energy to a receiving station on the ground via a microwave transmission system, avoiding possible attenuating effects of clouds and pollution.

An attribute-based policy defining subjects' access to resources is enforced by a computer system. A processing means (PDP) in the system communicates with a nearby attribute value source and at least one remote attribute value source and is adapted to evaluate the policy for an access request containing one or more explicit attribute values, which together with the policy define at least one implicit reference to a further attribute value, which is retrievable from one of said attribute value sources. The processing means reduces the policy by substituting attribute values for attributes in the policy if they are contained in the request or retrievable from the nearby source. References to further attributes retrievable from a remote source only are cached together with intermediate results. All attribute values from a given remote source are retrieved on one occasion, and the intermediate results are used to terminate the evaluation.
