Patent number: 8385812Abstract: A computer-based assessment driven cognition system includes, in embodiments, a generator configured to present questions, where each question presented is associated with a stacking weight and has at least one correct response, and a question property evaluator configured to, for each question presented, determine a likelihood of randomly selecting the at least one correct response. The system also includes a question response receiver configured to receive at least one response to each question presented. Additionally, the system includes a question response evaluator configured to determine, for each question presented, when the at least one response is the at least one associated correct response, a likelihood that the at least one response is a false positive. The question response evaluator is further configured to adjust the stacking weight of each question presented depending at least upon the likelihood that the at least one response to the question is a false positive.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Jones International, Ltd.Inventor: Jim Bertelsen

Publication number: 20090007197Abstract: A user interacts with a data storage service which enables one or more feeds from video and or web cameras to be streamed to the data storage service. The data storage service then provides storage and/or playback services to the subscriber (e.g., for a monthly fee or a usage fee). Once the video streams have been established between at least one camera and the data storage facility, the user may access the recorded data from any one of several sources, such as a world wide web browser or a cellular phone). The interface may provide a matrix of displays such that the user can see multiple areas or multiple parts of the same area simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: Jones InternationalInventor: Brian Turner
