Abstract: Methods and systems for template creation for a data extraction tool. A first template is selected from a plurality of documents provided by a user. An OCR engine annotates the first template and at least one data region in the first template corresponding to a set of parameters required in a target template is identified by selecting a geometrical region on the first template. At least one interim template is created based on the identification, and the plurality of documents are analyzed using the interim template to extract data values in the data region. The documents are converted to a format compliant with the target template based on the analysis.

Abstract: Side emitting optical apparatuses and methods having an optical grade silicone component. Optionally, the optical grade silicone includes a plurality of diffusive side areas that are configured to disrupt the travel path of a light ray traversing along a longitudinal axis of the optical element to re-direct the light ray out of the side of the optical element. The optical apparatus is configured such that the light is emitted more uniformly along a length of the optical apparatus.

Abstract: Side emitting optical apparatuses and methods. In some embodiments, a transparent optical element includes a plurality of diffusive side areas that are configured to disrupt the travel path of a light ray traversing along a longitudinal axis of the optical element to re-direct the light ray out of the side of the optical element. In some embodiments, the diffusive side areas are configured such that the light is emitted more uniformly along a length of the optical element.

Abstract: Providing a centralized process for accessing and implementing database management tools. These tools may be either developed by a vendor of the database management system, a third party, or by the enterprise implementing the database management tools. The system would include an interface between the user and the system that allows the user to indicate specific tasks to perform and provide a means for the user to receive and input information. The interface may support the development of specific job control messages that can be executed to implement a chosen task.

Abstract: A sewing machine having a presser bar and a needle bar and each having a force transducer mounted thereon for simultaneously detecting changes in load applied to the presser bar and needle bar. The force transducers are connected to a circuit including a computer for monitoring the fabric feeding and stitch formation forces encountered by the presser bar and the needle bar during sewing and analyzing the simultaneous force signal data from the force transducers on the needle bar and the presser bar of the sewing machine.
