  • Patent number: 9734262
    Abstract: A query answer engine converts a query and answers into a non-natural language forming units that correspond to words, symbols, numbers and spaces and combinations of the above, and establishes the contextual meaning of the units utilizing read, recognize and relate processes to populate a query matrix and an answer matrix with 3-valued points corresponding to the read, recognize and relate values of a unit. The two matrices are cross correlated to yield a robust answer to a query taking into account context. The conversion of text to units uses contextual meaning parametric tables, databases, libraries, rules and an engine for determining the focal point of a query or an answer.

  • Publication number: 20070011131
    Abstract: An expert system is provided for answering questions provided by a potential purchaser of goods or services using a neutral sales consultant in which a question sentence entered by the purchaser is understood using specialized library tables developed to understand both the subject and form of the question sentence. Thereafter an appropriate or relevant answer to the question is automatically given relating to sale of the product or service. The result is that questions are more easily understood by the system and more relevant answers can be given because both relate to specialized fingerprint parameters and the use of neutral experts.

  • Publication number: 20060149673
    Abstract: A secure Internet authorization system is based on matching of randomly generated number strings, generated at a module carried by an individual seeking authorization and uploaded to an offline vault during a setup procedure. During authorization the module generates one portion of the string, with the vault generating a quickly disappearing second portion of the string. Upon arrival of both portions at an Authorization Requesting Protocol and match at the vault the action to be authorized is authorized.

  • Publication number: 20050187909
    Abstract: A targeted search in the form of a fingerprint is generated utilizing audio-visual representations of the search parameters in a master plan so as to present the user with hypothetical vision parameters arrayed in a cascaded manner corresponding to the process individuals use when shopping, with the result being the generation of the parameters that converge on the ultimate fingerprint. In one embodiment a touch screen is utilized to present the hypothetical vision parameters, with the touching of the screen causing a parameter value to be entered into the fingerprint. On-screen vision parameters are kept in the one region of the screen to enable the user to go backwards from any level of the cascade back to any other prior level or even back to the original cascade, such that the cascaded vision parameters are retained on screen.

  • Patent number: 6438922
    Abstract: A method is provided for specifying parameters for modular formworks from construction documents which define an original structure, in which the construction documents are either scanned or a CAD version is read out. From the scanned drawings or the CAD information, various elements of the structure to be built are identified and selected in an order specific to a particular modular construction system. After identification and selection, reference numerals are assigned for the selected parts or components, with the numbers representing a component of the building such as what floor is intended, walls, ceilings, and other structural components down to the placement of light switches, HVAC vents, drainage, sinks, and plumbing valves.
