Abstract:
Given a set of documents relevant to a litigation hold and a seed set of custodians, a second set of custodians can be generated and suggested to a user. After receiving a seed set of keywords and/or custodians, documents are identified based on their relevance. Relevant documents are searched for custodian names, and appropriate custodian names are presented to a user. Additionally, based on a first set of custodians, a suggested set of custodians can be provided to a user based on relationships between the sets of custodians.
Abstract:
Given a set of training documents relevant to a litigation hold, properties common to the documents relevant to the case and not common or missing in the non-relevant documents can be identified and used to generate a litigation hold query to be suggested to a user. After receiving a training set of documents, one or more common properties between the relevant training documents are identified. Based on the common properties, a suggested litigation hold query can be generated to return documents in a larger set that are representative of the relevant documents in the training set. Additionally, a query can be generated by iteratively improving a base query to return documents sharing characteristics of a training set of documents. Suggested queries may evolve as the training set evolves.
Abstract:
In an electronic discovery search tool, non-substantive information, such as signatures in e-mail, can bias a search tool and add processing time. A method and system for identifying recurring non-substantive text in documents has been developed so that non-substantive text may be processed or ignored by the search tool, as needed.
Abstract:
A semiconductor die has rows of bond pads along the edges of a major surface. The corners of the die are designated as keep out areas, with design layout rules prohibiting a probe-able bond pad from being placed in the keep out areas so that a minimum distance may be maintained between distal ends of adjacent rows of bond pads (i.e., bond pads along adjacent edges). The bond pads of each row have IO pad areas that are aligned with each other and IO probe areas that are aligned with each other. A generally L-shaped bond pad includes a first, vertical part that extends inwardly from an edge of the semiconductor die and a second, horizontal part connected to the vertical part. The L-shaped bond pad may be placed between a last bond pad in a row and a corner keep out area, and the second part of the L-shaped bond pad extends into the corner keep out area. The first part has an IO pad area that is in alignment with the IO pad areas of the other bond pads in the same row, and the second part has an IO probe area that is in alignment with the IO probe areas of the bond pads in the adjacent row. The L-shaped bond pad does not violate design rules even though a part of the pad extends into the corner keep out area.
Abstract:
A method for automatically verifying one or more features of file-based media content (108) is disclosed. This file-based media content includes one or more media content files. The method includes customizing (204) a test plan on the basis of the one or more features. Customizing the test plan includes creating, modifying or utilizing at least one media content check of one or more media content checks. A media content check verifies at least one feature of the one or more features of the file-based media content. Further, the method includes verifying (206) the one or more features, based on the customized test plan. The method also includes documenting (208) the results obtained from the verification of the one or more features.
Abstract:
A method and system for calculating an interlace artifact in image data are disclosed. A motion picture of the image data comprises a series of frames, captured at a predefined interval of time. During processing of the motion picture, the frames are divided into fields, each field comprising one or more pixels. A difference between the pixels of the fields is calculated. Thereafter, edges of the pixels are calculated in the fields. The method and system then identify the focused area in the fields. To calculate the interlace artifact in the motion picture, the displacement of the focused area is calculated by using motion vectors. The artifacts are calculated as a ratio of a number of pixels based on motion vector calculation.
Abstract:
The invention provides a purchase sequence browser (PuSB), i.e. a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates insight discovery and exploration of product affinities across time, generated by a purchase sequence analysis of a retailer's transaction data. A purchase sequence browser allows the user to browse the most significant product phrases discovered by an exhaustive search of the product affinities across time; explore the retail grammar to create both forward and backward phrase trees or alternate purchase paths starting from, or ending in, a product; generate consistent purchase sequences given some constraints on the products and their order; and profile the value of a product across time with regard to other products fixed in time.
Abstract:
A recursive on-line wavelet data compression technique which may be used in, for example, a process control network, compresses a stream of data points on-line or in real-time (e.g., as the data arrives or is generated) without requiring the storage of a large amount of uncompressed data. The data compression system includes a data receiver that receives the data points in a sequential manner and a compression tree computation device that determines approximation coefficients and detail coefficients of a multi-layer wavelet compression tree from the received data points. The compression tree computation device determines all of the coefficients of the higher level layers of the compression tree that can be determined after the data receiver receives each of the data points to thereby perform on-line or real-time data compression. A memory stores the determined approximation coefficients of the compression tree, a comparator compares the determined detail coefficient magnitudes or other error measurements to one or more thresholds to determine if construction of the compression tree should be halted and a compression data generator selects a subset of the determined coefficients to create a set of compressed data corresponding to the received data points when the comparator determines that construction of the compression tree should be halted.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device uses insulated bond wires to connect peripheral power supply and ground bond pads on the periphery of the device to array power supply and ground bond pads located on an interior region of a integrated circuit die of the device. Power supply and ground voltages are conveyed from array bond pads using vertical vias down to one or more corresponding inner power distribution layers. The bond wire connections form rows and columns of hops constituting a mesh power grid that reduces the IR drop of the semiconductor device.
