  • Publication number: 20200193859
    Abstract: The present invention incorporates the use of analytics into classrooms that are equipped with education technologies, including, without limitation MED systems and ITSs, to enable human teachers to amplify their abilities and to leverage the complementary strengths of both the human teachers and the educational technologies. The present invention encompasses an educational tool system having at least one student and at least one teacher in a personalized learning environment, which includes a passive feedback system that gathers data on the student(s) and converts that data to analytics. This embodiment of the present invention also includes a real-time, wearable cognitive augmentation device that displays the analytics. This device is worn by the teacher and enables the teacher to view the data and/or analytics while engaging with the students and/or class.

  • Publication number: 20020138399
    Abstract: The method and system of the present invention provide an electronic platform that enables any participant in a trading network to trade with any other participant in the trading network according to its own individual trading rules. The trading rules are individual and private, and each participant may have a plurality of rules that govern trading. The trading rules may include Buy-side trading rules that govern partner selection and offer to sell evaluation, and Sell-side trading rules that govern how a participant responds to a request. The trading rules may be applied by the system in a manner that automates the purchasing process, or may be used to rank a participant's choices according to the participant's preferences. The trading network is preferably integrated the participants' internal systems.

  • Patent number: 6163785
    Abstract: The present invention is a system of integrated, computer-based processes for monolingual information development. and multilingual translation. An interactive text editor enforces lexical and grammatical constraints on a natural language subset used by the authors to create their text, which they help disambiguate to ensure translatability. The resulting translatable source language text undergoes machine translation into any one of a set of target languages, without the translated text requiring any postediting.

  • Patent number: 5995920
    Abstract: A computer-based method and system for monolingual document development, which includes the steps of entering into a text editor input text in a source language, checking the input text against vocabulary source language constraints, and providing interactive feedback relating to the input text if non-constrained source language is present. The method and system also includes the steps of checking for syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text, and providing interactive feedback to remove syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text.
