Abstract: In a structured natural language (SNL) knowledge system capable of storing SNL sentences in a database. The structured natural language sentence composition module composes an SNL (Structured Natural Language) sentence, and the sentence translator translates an SNL descriptive sentence or an SNL question sentence to SQL (Structured Query Language) queries, and translates the components stored in the database back to the SNL sentence.

Abstract: This invention is related to an Object Sharing and Scoring System (OSSS) that allows users to build, create and trade values of objects in a multi-user computing environment. It considers user, space and document as three basic and interacting classes of objects, and allows users to create objects within a space, to specify the accessibility of an object in a space, etc., and it controls the access of an object by another object in a space. It also allows users to build, create value and manipulate objects based on a scoring system.

Abstract: This invention is related to an object sharing and search system (OS3) that allows users to create and share computational content of any sort in a multi-user computing environment. It considers user, domain and document as three basic and interacting classes of objects, and allows users to create domain hierarchies, to create objects within a domain, to specify the accessibility of an object in a domain, etc., and it controls the access of an object by another object in a domain. It also allows users to search objects in a domain and recommend the ranking for a search.

Abstract: This invention provides a query and note based content creation, sharing and search system that allows users to create and manage notes, to share the notes with others, and to query the notes from a cellphone or computer interface. This is different from the traditional Internet and search engines in which user queries can only be indirectly answered. This invention allows users to query the notes from a cellphone or a computer when a prompt and precise response is needed. This invention also allows one or more programs to be specified for a note so when the note is returned to the user the program(s) can be executed.

Abstract: This invention is related to providing a semantic computing system (SCS) that allows user(s) of a computing system (a desktop computer, a cell phone, a server or a network of computers) to create, search, use and manipulate its resources (including personal and shared data resources such as files and database records, and personal and shared tool resources such as programs and devices) based on commands and annotations expressed in natural language.

Abstract: This invention is related to an SNL (Structured Natural Language) based search system (SNLSS) that allows Internet users to search services (tools, database, online services, etc.) based on problem statements expressed in one or more structured natural languages.

Abstract: This invention is related to a capability-based semantic search system that allows search of web tools and/or content to be done by comparing the need of a user described in a structured query language and the capabilities of solutions(services) described in another structured query language. The invention provides a new trading infrastructure between problems and solutions on the Internet.

Abstract: This invention provides a semantic appliance control system consisting of a computer or cellphone interface that allows a user to compose command sentences remotely; one or more control boxes that each can send and/receive control signals to/from one or more specific appliances; and a control software on a server that receives and compiles a command sentence from a user into one or more control commands. The control software further schedules the control commands from one or more users and sends each control command to one or more control boxes at one or more scheduled times. The control box may as well include one or more sensors to collect and report the status of the appliance and the environment. Users may assert a set of rules in the control software such that whenever the status of an appliance or the environment satisfies certain condition(s), the control software may take one or more user-specified actions or that it can enforce certain conditions be satisfied all the time.
