Information searching system

Title: Information searching system

Abstract

A method and computer system for searching a collection of documents. The method comprises first identifying text in the document and then identifying an image in the document. Then the features of the image are extracted from the document and image terms are identified from the features. Finally, the collection of documents is searched using the image terms in conjunction with text terms.

Method and system for efficiently searching an encoded vector index

Patent Bui, Thuan Quang [Alameda, CA]; Egan, Randy Lynn [Rochester, MN]; Kathmann, Kevin James [Rochester, MN]

Method and system aspects for efficiently searching an encoded vector index are provided. The aspects include the translation of a search query into a candidate bitmap, and the mapping of data from the candidate bitmap into a search result bitmap according to entry values in the encoded vector index. Further, the translation includes the setting of a bit in the candidate bitmap for each entry in a symbol table that corresponds to candidate of the search query. Also included in the mapping is the identification of a bit value in the candidate bitmap pointed to by an entry in anmore » encoded vector.« less

Electron spin-based information shuttling for a computer system

Patent Gamble, IV, John King; Carroll, Malcolm S.

A silicon metal-oxide semiconductor device transports a spin-polarized single electron. An array of silicon quantum dot electrodes is arranged atop a silicon dioxide layer of a silicon metal-oxide semiconductor. The array comprises at least a first electrode and a second electrode adjacent to the first electrode. A transport control logic for individually controls a voltage applied to the electrodes. The transport control logic is configured to gradually decrease a voltage at the first electrode while gradually increasing a voltage at the second electrode. Localization of the single electron is adiabatically transferred from the first electrode to the second electrode whilemore »« less

System and method of storing and analyzing information

Patent Feo, John T.; Haglin, David J.; Morari, Alessandro; ...

A system and method of storing and analyzing information is disclosed. The system includes a compiler layer to convert user queries to data parallel executable code. The system further includes a library of multithreaded algorithms, processes, and data structures. The system also includes a multithreaded runtime library for implementing compiled code at runtime. The executable code is dynamically loaded on computing elements and contains calls to the library of multithreaded algorithms, processes, and data structures and the multithreaded runtime library.

Method and system for information retrieval and aggregation from inferred user reasoning

Patent Endert, Alexander; Cramer, Nicholas O.; Perko, III, Ralph J.; ...

The visual analytic system enables information retrieval within large text collections. Typically, users have to directly and explicitly query information to retrieve it. With this system and process, the reasoning of the user is inferred from the user interaction they perform in a visual analytic tool, and the appropriate information to query, process, and visualize is systematically determined.
