| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4823306 | Text search system In a searching for library documents that match the content of a given sequence of query words, a set of equivalent words are defined for each query word along with a corresponding word equivalence value assigned to each equivalent word. Target sequences ... | 04/18/1989 |
| 4751702 | Improving availability of a restartable staged storage data base system that uses logging facilities A method is disclosed for maintaining availability of a restartable data base system where continuity of service is guaranteed by having a loosely-coupled backup processor taking over processing of a degraded active processor. The backup processor continu... | 06/14/1988 |
| 4749983 | Compression of multilevel signals This invention relates to method and apparatus for compressing multilevel signals. The compression is based upon prediction errors and probability distributions. Compression is improved by conditioning the probability distributions using context of previo... | 06/07/1988 |
| 4747156 | Image preprocessing procedure for noise removal A method for removing noise in the form of small black spots in a black and white raster picture, which includes the following steps: Generating a moving window of 5×5 picture elements having an inner window (R1) of nine and a surrounding outer window (R... | 05/24/1988 |
| 4726022 | Method and apparatus for stressing the data window in magnetic storage devices A system for controllably varying the width of the data window in a magnetic storage device to perform comparative data detection error rate measurements thereon is provided. The system generates the programmably and continuously variable stressed data wi... | 02/16/1988 |
| 4719571 | Algorithm for constructing tree structured classifiers In assigning features to nodes of a tree structured classifier and determining terminal nodes in response to a training set of objects each being determined by a plurality of features, a selected characteristic, such as a cost function based on the minimu... | 01/12/1988 |
| 4714996 | Impact calculation for version management in a distributed information service In a distributed processing system having a source node accessing data objects from a database and a replica node storing replicas of requested source data objects received from the source location, the impact to replicas caused by a change in a source da... | 12/22/1987 |
| 4714992 | Communication for version management in a distributed information service In a distributed processing system network in which at least one node operates as a source location having access to data objects of a database, and at least one other node operates as a replica location storing replicas of data objects from the source lo... | 12/22/1987 |
| 4712144 | Method and apparatus for reading recorded data by a magnetoresistive head Method and apparatus for magnetoresistive (MR) head biasing and output signal detection for reading data recorded in magnetic media. The MR head may be biased by constant current or constant voltage, and an output signal, proportional to the ratio of the ... | 12/08/1987 |
| 4706250 | Method and apparatus for correcting multibyte errors having improved two-level code structure A system for correcting errors in data read from a direct access storage device employs an extendable, two-level coding scheme having n subblocks in a relatively long variable-length block of data, each subblock having up to m bytes of data. At the subblo... | 11/10/1987 |
| 4703485 | Method and apparatus for computing and implementing error detection check bytes Improved design, computation and implementation of pairs of error detection check bytes, where such bytes are appended to the end of a variable length record for data integrity check of the entire record after ECC correction, is provided. The error detect... | 10/27/1987 |
