Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to extract information within complex documents, and the extracted information may be compared to identify differences between complex documents or the extracted information may be analyzed with respect to the individual document. Information is extracted from complex documents comprising unstructured data to create a structured data repository, or analytics knowledge base. This database may be utilized to compare concepts that are common to one or more documents, allowing ease of comparison of documents, and identification of information that is different or identification of (same or similar) information that is presented differently in a set of complex documents.

Abstract: A method and system for conducting electronic auctions is described. A dynamic lot closing extension feature avoids collisions in closing times of multiple lots by dynamically extending the closing time of a subsequent lot if a preceding lot's closing time is extended to be too close to the subsequent lot's then-currently scheduled closing time. Scheduled closing times can be extended with a flexible overtime feature, in which the properties of the event triggering the extension and the duration of the overtime period(s) can be tailored to a particular auction, particular lots of products within an auction, and to the particular time within an auction process. The bidding status of a lot can be set to a “pending” status after the nominal closing time for submission of bids to allow bidders to alert the auction coordinator of technical problems in submission of bids. This allows the possibility for a lot to be return to open status for further bidding by all bidders.

Abstract: A training dummy in human form that mimics realistic human movements and reactions to forces extended onto the dummy by a user, and including a torso having at least one upper arm attachment point with an XY & Z axis, at least one upper arm fastened to the torso at the at least one upper arm attachment point and capable of rotating about the X axis and pivoting about the XY & Z axis of the upper arm attachment point. A returning means securely attached to the dummy for returning the upper arm and torso back to their initial positions after having a twisting, restraining, or striking force exerted upon the dummy. A counterbalancing means attached to the torso for counterbalancing a force applied to the dummy. The dummy is suspended from the counterbalancing means which tends to return the dummy to an upright position if the dummy is taken down to the floor.
