  • Transparent interactive interface for ballot marking and methods of using the same
    Patent number: 11334295
    Abstract: Described generally herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer programs to assist a user in marking a document in response to the user engaging an intuitive, transparent interface. The apparatus can be caused to receive, in response to a gesture by a user, an indication related to a region of a transparent interactive display, the region of the transparent interactive display corresponding to a region of a document viewable by the user through the transparent interactive display. Apparatus can determine, based at least upon the indication, one or more fields of the document associated with the indication and input information associated with the one or more fields of the document. Apparatus can transmit a signal indicative of the one or more fields of the document and the input information to a printing device, the printing device configured to print the input information in the fields of the document.

  • Nominal population metric: clustering of nominal application attributes
    Patent number: 8612176
    Abstract: Clustering of nominal attributes using a nominal population metric enables comparisons of entities which are not easily comparable. In some embodiments, nominal population metrics are determined using a similarity matrix and a nominal population matrix using comparisons. In some embodiments, nominal population metrics are determined using a nominal population matrix using distributions. A computing device is able to determine the nominal population metrics with the appropriate hardware and applications configured for computing the nominal population metrics.
