Abstract: A system and method for physical connection of components in a graphical modeling environment. For each component, a physical component subsystem is built by providing at least one functional block representative of a mathematical model of the component, associating one or more first unidirectional internal input ports and/or one or more first unidirectional internal output ports with the at least one functional block, and associating one or more second unidirectional internal input ports and/or one or more second unidirectional internal output ports with the at least one functional block, the physical component subsystem configured to receive first information from an upstream block through each first internal input port, output second information to a downstream block through each first internal output port, receive third information from the downstream block through each second internal input port, and output fourth information to the upstream block through each second internal output port.

Abstract: A speech processing system which exploits statistical modeling and formal logic to receive and process speech input, which may represent data to be received, such as dictation, or commands to be processed by an operating system, application or process. A command dictionary and dynamic grammars are used in processing speech input to identify, disambiguate and extract commands. The logical processing scheme ensures that putative commands are complete and unambiguous before processing. Context sensitivity may be employed to differentiate data and commands. A multi faceted graphic user interface may be provided for interaction with a user to speech enable interaction with applications and processes that do not necessarily have native support for speech input.

Abstract: A shooting range target system comprises one or more target modules, a server, a range master's display and a shooter's display. Target modules utilize a digital camera and a processor to automatically detect shot locations and communicate them to the server. Target modules may optionally deploy and retract targets and otherwise move targets based on commands received from the server. Shooter's scores are calculated and stored on the server, and displayed to the shooters on shooters' displays and optionally to a range safety officer on a range master's display.

Abstract: A spam filter system and method, for maintaining at least one database of permitted email addresses; automatically communicating with an email server, and selectively downloading and storing email not corresponding to entries in the database; automatically sending a challenge message in response to messages from non-permitted email addresses; if an appropriate response is received to the challenge message, adding the non-permitted email address to the database of permitted email addresses; and automatically restoring downloaded email messages from email addresses which become permitted.

Abstract: A system for making a dental restoration, comprising a 3D digitizer for producing a 3D model digital representation of a dental restoration model, a computer in communication with the 3D digitizer and capable of creating a dental restoration milling trajectory for a selected block of given dimension and given dental restoration material, based on the 3D model, and a laser milling apparatus in communication with the computer and capable of laser milling the dental restoration from the selected block positioned therein using the milling trajectory created by the computer. The laser milling apparatus includes one or more sensor for continuously monitoring the laser milling of the selected block and to provide feedback to the computer such that the milling trajectory is continuously adjusted by the computer using the feedback from the one or more sensor.

Abstract: A model of the dental restoration is shaped in-vivo on the patient by the dentist. The model is then scanned in the dentists office using a 3D optical scanner. A 3D graphic representation of the model is obtained from the scanner using a computer. The computer is used to convert the 3D graphic representation of the model into a milling path for milling the dental restoration in a block of durable dental restoration material having known dimensions. A mill, also present in the dentists office, mills the dental restoration from the block using the milling path while the patient is waiting. The dentist can then take the milled dental restoration and apply it to the patient in the same, single visit.
