Abstract: The invention relates to a navigation assistance system comprising an electronic device and first and second human-machine interfaces that cooperate with the electronic device. The latter produces an orientation instruction, in the form of a message transmitted to one of said first and second human-machine interfaces depending on the orientation of a change of direction. Each human-machine interface advantageously comprises a display for outputting a light indication in response to the reception of the message. Advantageously positioned to the left and right, respectively, within the field of vision of a user of the system, the displays of the first and second human-machine interfaces output to the user a visual and lateralized navigational aid that is particularly intuitive and non-invasive.

Abstract: An example method for reviewing documents includes scoring documents using an artificial intelligence model, and selecting a subset of highest scoring documents. The method further includes inserting a number of randomly-selected documents into the subset of highest scoring documents to form a set of documents for review, wherein a reviewer cannot differentiate between the randomly-selected documents and the subset of highest scoring documents included in the set of documents for review, and presenting the set of documents for review by the reviewer.

Abstract: Disclosed information exploration system and method embodiments operate on a document set to determine a document cluster hierarchy. An exclusionary phrase index is determined for each cluster, and representative phrases are selected from the indexes. The selection process may enforce pathwise uniqueness and balanced sub-cluster representation. The representative phrases may be used as cluster labels in an interactive information exploration interface.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for vendor management during a procurement process. Vendor qualification data is stored and compared relative to a procurement request. Based upon statistical data in relation to previous bidding information and vendor relevance a list of recommended Vendors for invitation can be generated. The recommended list ensures fairness in the selection of Vendors and statistics are automatically updated. Data in relation to the selection process is maintained to provide an audit trail through the procurement process.

Abstract: A golf club which includes interconnected segments which can be added to extend the length thus providing an inexpensive alternative to buying new golf clubs. The segments are securely connected to achieve a rigid and sturdy golf club which can grow longer as a child grows taller. The segments preferably have a threaded male/female connection with epoxy applied to the threads followed by the added security of a roll pin inserted into the connection.

Abstract: A term-by-document matrix is compiled from a corpus of documents representative of a particular subject matter that represents the frequency of occurrence of each term per document. A weighted term dictionary is created using a global weighting algorithm and then applied to the term-by-document matrix forming a weighted term-by-document matrix. A term vector matrix and a singular value concept matrix are computed by singular value decomposition of the weighted term-document index. The k largest singular concept values are kept and all others are set to zero thereby reducing to the concept dimensions in the term vector matrix and a singular value concept matrix. The reduced term vector matrix, reduced singular value concept matrix and weighted term-document dictionary can be used to project pseudo-document vectors representing documents not appearing in the original document corpus in a representative semantic space.

Abstract: An improved system and method is provided for automatically tracking check transactions and generating an expenditure statement thereof using printed bank checks having a plurality of graphic icons disposed thereon. The customer marks the icon which describes the particular expense for which the check payment is being made. The payor bank or a check processing center scans each check to determine which icon(s) have been marked for each particular check transaction. Recorded expenditures are then automatically recorded in a cumulative transaction record. Periodically, this information is organized into a detailed expenditure statement that can be provided to the bank customer.
