Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically scoring a response and statistically revaluating whether it can be considered as aberrant. In one embodiment, a constructed response is evaluated via a pre-screening stage and a post-hoc screening stage. The pre-screening stage attempts to determine whether the constructed response is aberrant based on a variety of aberration metrics and criteria. If the constructed response is deemed not to be aberrant, then the post-hoc screening stage attempts to predict a discrepancy between what score an automated scoring system would assigned and what score a human rater would assign to the response. If the discrepancy is sufficiently low, then the constructed response may be scored by an automated scoring engine. On the other hand, if the constructed response failed to pass either of the two stages, then a flag may be raised to indicate that additional human review may be needed.

Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems that provide semi-automated and automated training to technicians who use oral-cavity-imaging-and-modeling systems to accurately and efficiently generate three-dimensional models of patients' teeth and underlying tissues. The training methods and systems are implemented either as subsystems within oral-cavity-imaging-and-modeling systems or as separate system in electronic communication oral-cavity-imaging-and-modeling systems. The training methods and systems use an already generated, digital, three-dimensional model of a portion of the oral cavity of a particular patient or of a physical model of a portion of an oral cavity to compute a temporal, translational, and rotational trajectory of an oral-cavity-imaging-and-modeling endoscope, or wand, during a training scan. The temporal, translational, and rotational trajectory is used for a variety of different types of instruction and instructional feedback to facilitate training of technicians.

Abstract: The interactive Arabic alphabet blocks is a set of blocks for teaching children Arabic letters. Each block interacts with a touch screen to teach the symbol of a letter and its pronunciation. Each interactive Arabic alphabet block includes a front face having an Arabic letter painted and/or engraved thereon. The bottom face of the blocks includes a plurality of raised nubs thereon. The nubs and all faces of the blocks are covered with a conductive mesh or paint. The nubs represent the start and stop locations of each stroke of forming the Arabic letter. When the block is placed on a touch screen of a mobile electronic device, an application on the device detects the nubs and identifies the Arabic letter associated with the location of the nubs. The Arabic letter identified is displayed on the device's screen and played by the device's speaker or headphones.
