20060179051, Aug 10, 2006

Filed:

Nov 3, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/268283

Inventors:

Paul Whitney - Richland WA, US
Susan Havre - Richland WA, US
David McGee - Portland OR, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707005000

Abstract:

A method for steering the analysis of a collection of documents includes receiving query terms for use in querying a database including a collection of documents; representing at least some of the query terms in a matrix; rotating document vectors associated with the documents to match the matrix to produce a matrix of rotated document vectors, each document vector representing a numeric vector created in association with individual documents; grouping the rotated document vectors into clusters, each cluster having one or more documents; and projecting the clusters to display visual information of the documents, the visual information including a summary view of the collection of documents. Program code and a system are also provided.

Abstract:

A method of labeling in steered visual analysis of a collection of documents, the method comprising receiving a query against a database including a collection of documents; representing contents of the query as a matrix; rotating document vectors associated with respective documents to match the matrix to produce a matrix of rotated document vectors; grouping the rotated document vectors into clusters; and displaying a graphic around an area corresponding to a query term.

US Patent:

Filed:

May 9, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/795220

Inventors:

David L. McGee - Portland OR

Assignee:

Plymak Company, Inc. - Portland OR

International Classification:

B26D 512
B27L 508

US Classification:

83617

Abstract:

An anvil roll has a steel core and an outer portion of polyurethane. The roll is slightly rotated after a number of veneer clipping operations by a clutch which drives the roll after the roll is pushed by a knife down away from arcuate braking surfaces. An airbag normally urges the roll into engagement with the braking surfaces and is collapsed during adjustment of the roll. Operation of the clutch is prevented during the clipping operation. A double-acting cylinder drives the knife through a toggle joint linkage, and cushioning cylinder means aid in overcoming inertia of the knife at the start of a clipping cycle and also cushion the return of the knife. The cylinder has poppet check valves to rapidly admit air thereto.
