Abstract: The disclosed technology is a system that uses an interactive software to help event-organizers customize a virtual layout of a space. The system is an interactive apparatus that allows users to prepare their space by positioning items and properties in the space, and provides the user with constructive feedback in a plurality of areas, thus assisting event-organizers in sufficient planning and design. The system uses machine learning to improve its performance and the quality of its feedback to users overtime. Such a technology will provide effective physical arrangement and accommodate successful event preparation.

Abstract: An authoring tool provides a storage receptacle for text components of graphics designs. The storage receptacle is easily accessed from within the graphics authoring environment and allows for the text to be changed independently of the graphics authoring environment, for possible future insertion into graphics files. Once a text item from the storage receptacle has been inserted in a graphics file, a relationship is maintained between the graphics file and the text item in the receptacle. This relationship can then be used in many ways, in particular to keep the text in the graphics file and the text in the receptacle synchronized. The storage receptacle can be implemented as a database system. In this manner the authoring tool automates the synchronization between the textual content which is usually drafted and edited outside of the graphics environment and the final graphics files in which the text will ultimately be inserted.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus of the present invention collect data associated with a consumer through generation of a consumer feedback communication via a wide area network. A business to which the consumer feedback communication is directed is identified in response to input from a consumer via the wide area network. Feedback data relating to the business is obtained from the consumer via the wide area network. At least a portion of the consumer feedback communication is automatically generated using the feedback data. Data associated with the consumer is then collected from the obtained feedback data.

Abstract: An authoring tool provides a storage receptacle for text components of graphics designs. In one embodiment, the storage receptacle is a computer readable media (e.g., a hard drive or memory). The storage receptacle is easily accessed from within the graphics authoring environment and allows for the text to be changed independently of the graphics authoring environment, for possible future insertion into graphics files. Once a text item from the storage receptacle has been inserted in a graphics file, a relationship is maintained between the graphics file and the text item in the receptacle. This relationship can then be used in many ways, in particular to keep the text in the graphics file and the text in the receptacle synchronized. The storage receptacle can be implemented as a database system.

Abstract: A patient identification device is disclosed. The device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a processor. The first sensor may be configured to be positioned on the patient's finger. The device may include a camera. The device may include an identifier. The identifier displays a randomly generated alphanumeric code for further identification of the patient.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for localizing a target graphic containing textual elements based on a first geographical region. Textual elements are extracted from the target graphic. The extracted textual elements are stored as a first set of textual element records to be modified based on the language and/or customs of a second geographical region to form a second set of textual element records. The first set of textual element records is accessed and modified to form the second set of textual element records. Modified textual elements are imported from the second set of textual element records into the target graphic. The sets of textual elements may be stored in database form for a plurality of geographic regions and a glossary may be provided to assist in the localization.
