Indexing RDF and Temporal RDF Databases
Published Sunday, May 17, 2009Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a widely used World Wide Web Consortium standard. However, the indexing of large volumes of data still poses many difficulties, with methods of indexing still being developed. A certain type of RDF query, a graph based query, necessitates the traversal of edges in the graph determined by an RDF database...

Geometric Visual Enhancement
Published Sunday, May 17, 2009This invention introduces the concept of visual persuasion based on geometry manipulation. The inventors have build on recent advances in mesh saliency to develop techniques to mildly alter geometry to elicit greater visual attention. The approach operates directly on geometry, and so produces view-independent results that can be used with...

Noise Cancellation Algorithms in the Case When There are More Sensors than Actuators
Published Wednesday, May 13, 2009A number of companies have sought to produce products that would effectively dampen or eliminate noise. Some systems have been developed which create a set of sound waves that when added to the undesired sound achieves this purpose. However, real-time changes in the undesirable sounds make the optimization of these systems a serious problem...
