International Business Machines Assigned Patent for Method for Bundling of Product Options Using Historical Customer Choice Data
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 12 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,332,407) developed by Claudia Reisz, Mount Kisco, N.Y., for a "method for bundling of product options using historical customer choice data."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and system for customer-choice-based bundling of product options collects data from previous orders about customer component choices, computes a pairwise distance between any pair of components that capture how much the probability of a choice pair P(a.b) deviates from the expected probability under the null hypothesis of independence P(a)*P(b), and clusters the components. The methodology can be implemented as instructions implemented in a computer readable medium. In this way, the need for a method to permit bundles of product options to be configured through the use of business processes reflecting choices based on the preferences of customers rather than the preferences of product designers is fulfilled."

International Business Machines Assigned Patent for Using Text Search Engine for Parametric Search
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 12 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,332,422) developed by four co-inventors for a "using text search engine for parametric search." The co-inventors are Yuan-Chi Chang, Ossining, N.Y., Howard C. Chin, North York, Canada, Chung-Sheng Li, Scarsdale, N.Y., and Carsten E. Mytroen, Markham, Canada.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method, system, and computer program for enabling parametric searches on source data using text search engine. The invention is generally divided into a build-time process and a run-time process. During the build-time process, a crawler extracts data units from source data. A data translator then translates data units into keyword parametric entries that are submitted to the text search engine. During the run-time process, a query translator translates parametric search queries into keyword search entries. A metatag refiner then filters intermediate search results from the search engine based on the parametric search query."

The HARQ early termination condition is met if a positive acknowledgement (ACK) has not been received until the number of retransmissions reaches a predetermined limit that is dynamically configured based on channel condition, measurement, etc. Alternatively, the HARQ early termination condition is met if a transmit power required for successful transmission of the packet is much higher than an actual transmit power. Alternatively, the HARQ early termination condition is met if a transport format combination (TFC) selected for retransmission is different from an optimal TFC. A higher layer may be notified of the early HARQ termination."
