A method, system and program storage device are provided for extending an inverted index, which comprises first and second inverted index subfiles to increase the speed of establishing and updating inverted index files. The method includes performing ordered keyword indexing operations of generating an inverted index from data sources, in which a frequency of occurrence of keywords in each of the data sources is calculated, and writing each keyword, the data sources, and the frequency of occurrence of each keyword in the corresponding data sources to the inverted index. If a number of data sources involved in the indexing operations reaches a first threshold, then writing contents of the inverted index as a smallest grid into the first inverted index subfile. If a number of smallest grids in the first inverted index subfile reaches a second threshold, then merging the smallest grids into a merged grid and writing the merged grid into the second inverted index subfile. If the number of merged grids in the second inverted index subfile reaches a third threshold, then further merging the merged grids into a larger merged grid, and writing the larger merged grid back into the first inverted index subfile.

Described are various embodiments which enable organizations to track and use knowledge and expertise of their associated individuals. An organization can use exemplary embodiments to automatically summarize the expertise of each individual from documents available from internal or external web sites. For example, a web crawler crawls a computer network to identify documents that name an individual. Summaries of the documents are generated based on articles in an encyclopedia, and a profile is built of the individual using the summaries. These summaries are used for automatically searching and automatically discovering individuals having particular knowledge or expertise on certain topics and subjects.

The present invention provides a search ranking method suitable for a file system, including receiving a query, calculating final relevance scores of individual file items with respect to the query at least partially in accordance with energy scores of individual nodes on a current file system energy tree, and outputting a list of search results based on the final relevance scores. The file system energy tree is updated in response to an operation on the file system performed by a user, wherein the file system energy tree has a tree structure corresponding to that of the file system, and the individual nodes thereof respectively corresponds to the individual file items in the file system

Suggested corrections for a code error are provided by a compiler or code editor, for example. Thus, there is much less ambiguity about how an error should be corrected. Preferably, a predetermined number of suggested corrections are presented to the user (e.g., up to three suggestions), and the user can choose a desired suggested correction. Corrections for a given error can be made, not only at the location of the error, but throughout the code document, or other files in the user's solution. Furthermore, by undoing one correction and trying another, the user can go through all of the suggested corrections to determine which suggestion would be most preferable.

An insert (10) for a sandwich component (30) having a honeycomb core (31) has an inner hollow-cylindrical sleeve (12). To improve the force-transmitting ability between the insert (10) and the sandwich component (30), the insert (10) further has an outer sleeve (16) which is arranged concentrically and with radial spacing with respect to the inner sleeve (12) and the inner side of which is connected to the outer side of the inner sleeve (12) by means of a plurality of radial webs (18), a plurality of axial chambers (20), distributed over the circumference of the insert, between the inner sleeve (12) and the outer sleeve (16), each chamber (20) being bounded in the circumferential direction of the insert by two webs (18) following each other in the circumferential direction, and being open at least on one of its end sides, a plurality of anchor elements (22), in each case one of which is received in an associated chamber (20), each anchor element (22) having a pointed end (24) and a blunt end (26) and the blunt end being adjacent to the open end side of the chamber (20), a plurality of exit openings (28) in the lateral surface of the outer sleeve (16), through which a part of each anchor element (22) can exit, with its pointed end (24) in front, from the associated chamber (20), a push-in part (32) which can be introduced axially through the open end sides of the chambers (20) into the latter and is designed such that, upon introduction into the chambers (20), it comes into contact with the blunt ends (26) of the anchor elements (22) and displaces the latter, and guiding devices in each chamber (20) containing an anchor element (22), which devices, upon a displacement of the anchor elements (22) brought about by the introduction of the push-in part (32) into the chambers (20), cause the anchor elements to exit, with their pointed end (24) in front, through the exit openings (28) radially out of the chambers (20).

A method for achieving interactive browsing includes steps performed by a computer coupled to a knowledge base and a document database. The knowledge base stores a plurality of terms and information relating to each term, and the document database stores a plurality of documents. The steps include acquiring terms in which a user has interest; extracting information relating to the terms in which the user has interest from the knowledge base in order to display the information in a first display part of a user interface; and extracting documents containing the terms in which the user has interest from the document database in order to display a list of extracted documents in a second display part of the user interface.
摘要:
A method for substance identification and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. The method comprises comprising steps of: transmitting an object under inspection using high-energy rays and low-energy rays, so as to obtain a high-energy transmission image and a low-energy transmission image for the object, wherein a value of each pixel in the high-energy image indicates a high-energy transparency of the high-energy rays with respect to corresponding parts of the object, and a value of each pixel in the low-energy image indicates a low-energy transparency of the low-energy rays with respect to corresponding parts of the object; calculating a value of a first function for the high-energy transparency and a value of a second function for the high-energy transparency and the low-energy transparency, for each pixel; and classifying locations determined by the value of the first function and the value of the second function using a pre-created classification curve, so as to identify the type of the substance of a part of the object corresponding to each pixel. With the present invention, it is possible to not only obtain a transmission image of the object, but also obtain material information in the object.
摘要:
A method of expanding double negative T cells in culture is described. The method comprises (a) providing a starting sample comprising DN T cells or precursors thereof; (b) substantially depleting CD8+ and CD4+ T cells from the starting sample; (c) culturing the sample from step (b) with an immobilized T cell mitogen in a culture medium comprising an agent that can stimulate DN T cell growth; (d) washing the cells obtained in step (c) and resuspending in a culture medium comprising the agent without the T cell mitogen; and (e) washing the cells obtained in step (d) and resuspending in a culture medium comprising the agent and a soluble T cell mitogen. The DN T cells obtained by the method are useful in a variety of applications including the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, graft versus host disease and autoimmune disease.
