A collating application for message display and management executes on a communication device. The communication device includes a plurality of message applications associated with various communication channels, each message application receiving and storing messages associated with one of the various communications channels. The collating application dynamically accesses messages stored by the plurality of message applications to retrieve messages that meet defined matching criteria. The collating application permits the user to select a listing of the heterogeneous retrieved messages in a single view on the communication device. Icons associated with the matching criteria are displayable and vary in accordance with the presence or absence of unread messages meeting the matching criteria.

A threaded list of e-mail messages is provided by checking each received message against previous messages to determine whether the new message is associated with previous messages. If so, then a new thread is created. The new thread has an associated thread header, which stores metadata bout the messages in the thread. If the received message is related to messages in an existing thread, then the received message is added to that thread, and the thread header for that thread is updated to reflect data from the received message. The thread header appears with messages in a message list view of the inbox, and provides data about the thread. Messages that are not part of a thread are shown in the same view as threaded messages, without a thread header. This allows a user to view both threaded and non-threaded messages in a single view.

A method of unifying the different, device-specific and platform-specific access control lists (ACL) for different users and user groups in a home network. The home network has networked heterogeneous devices and hosting where a user is presented with a consistent, single view of ACL on home-wide users and user groups. Users in the home network, therefore, do not need to control ACL for device-specific users and user groups on each individual device. Instead, a user controls the home-wide ACL for home-wide users and user groups. The changes to home-wide ACL for home-wide users and user groups are propagated to individual devices. Further, changes on individual devices can be made to device-specific ACL for device-specific users and user groups. Such changes are subsequently propagated to the home-wide ACL for home-wide users and user groups.

Selection of certain views of a multidimensional database to materialize may be accomplished using an efficient and effective solution. A set of all potential views may be stored in a structure. A path in the structure may then be traversed in an indicated direction through the structure, the path including two or more potential views and beginning at an indicated view. Then two or more immaterialized views in the path may be compared to each other to determine which immaterialized view is the optimum choice for maximizing benefit if selected to be materialized. Then the traversing and comparing may be continually iterated through, each iteration utilizing an indicated direction different than the last, each iteration also utilizing an indicated view set at the optimum choice determined by the last iteration, the iterating continuing until it converges on a single view. That single view may then be selected for materialization.

A visualization method and tool for gaining insight into the structure of a hierarchy. A derived intuitive display of the relation and effect on classification of features in nodes in a classification hierarchy provides a snapshot of a metric, such as coherence of the hierarchy. The visualization tool displays, in a single view, all or part of the following information: which features are the most powerful in identifying a particular topic; how these features are distributed over items in its sub-classes; which of these features do strongly distinguish among, and help classify items into, subclasses, and which do not (the ones that are shared evenly among the sub-classes justify the grouping as being coherent); and topic relationships among subclasses.

Aspects include mechanisms for design and analysis of flows of information in a database system from updates to base table records, through one or more log segments, to a plurality of view managers that respectively execute operations to update view table records. Mechanisms allow any base table record to be used by any view manager, so long as the view managers are using that base table record to update different view table records. Mechanisms also allow any number of view table records to be updated by any number of view managers, based on respective base table records. Mechanisms prevent the same view record from being used as a basis for updating the same base table record by more than one view manager, thereby preventing a conflict where updated information from one base table record is used more than once for updating a single view table record.

The present invention relates to a high precision method, model and apparatus for calibrating, determining the rotation of the lens scope around its symmetry axis, updating the projection model accordingly, and correcting the image radial distortion in real-time using parallel processing for best image quality.

The solution provided herein relies on a complete geometric calibration of optical devices, such as cameras commonly used in medicine and in industry in general, and subsequent rendering of perspective correct image in real-time. The calibration consists on the determination of the parameters of a suitable mapping function that assigns each pixel to the 3D direction of the corresponding incident light. The practical implementation of such solution is very straightforward, requiring the camera to capture only a single view of a readily available calibration target, that may be assembled inside a specially designed calibration apparatus, and a computer implemented processing pipeline that runs in real time using the parallel execution capabilities of the computational platform.

Techniques are described for modeling layered facial reflectance consisting of specular reflectance, single scattering, and shallow and deep subsurface scattering. Parameters of appropriate reflectance models can be estimated for each of these layers, e.g., from just 20 photographs recorded in a few seconds from a single view-point. Spatially-varying specular reflectance and single-scattering parameters can be extracted from polarization-difference images under spherical and point source illumination. Direct-indirect separation can be employed to decompose the remaining multiple scattering observed under cross-polarization into shallow and deep scattering components to model the light transport through multiple layers of skin. Appropriate diffusion models can be matched to the extracted shallow and deep scattering components for different regions on the face. The techniques were validated by comparing renderings of subjects to reference photographs recorded from novel viewpoints and under novel illumination conditions. Related geometry acquisition systems and software products are also described.

The present invention is a method for detecting anomalies against normal profiles and for fusing and visualizing the results from multiple anomaly detection systems in a quantifying and unifying user interface. The knowledge patterns discovered from historical data serve as the normal profiles, or baselines or references (hereinafter, called “normal profiles”). The method assesses a piece of information against a collection of the normal profiles and decides how anomalous it is. The normal profiles are calculated from historical data sources, and stored in a collection of mining models. Multiple anomaly detection systems generate a collection of mining models using multiple data sources. When a piece of information is newly observed, the method measures the degree of correlation between the observed information and the normal profiles. The analysis is expressed and visualized through anomaly scores and critical event notifications that are triggered by fusion rules, thus allowing a user to see multiple levels of complexity and detail in a single view.
