  • Patent number: 9111298
    Abstract: A framework is provided for building a visual representation of a product concept including a textual component and/or a graphical component. A first element within one of the textual component and the graphical components is designated as a first dynamic element. A second element within one of the textual component and the graphical component is designated as a second dynamic element. The first dynamic element is associated with a first variant list. The second dynamic element is associated with a second variant list. A constraint is associated between at least a first element variant and at least a second element variant. A selection of a first element variant from the first variant list and a second element variant from the second variant list are received. A first instantiation of the visual representation is generated including the first element variant and the second element variant based upon the constraint.

  • Patent number: 8880453
    Abstract: Invention for pattern recognition and artificial intelligence comprising: 1) storing data in parallel by applying a logic level (1) input or a logic level (0) input to one input of each of at least two exclusive-nor logic gates; 2) comparing data in parallel by applying a logic level (1) input or a logic level (0) input to the other input of each of the exclusive-nor gates, wherein each exclusive-nor gate produces a logic level (1) output when both inputs have the same datum input, and each exclusive-nor gate produces a logic level (0) output when both inputs have different datum input; and 3) measuring the outputs of the exclusive-nor logic gates collectively with a measuring apparatus, wherein the percentage of the pattern input for comparison which matches the pattern of data stored in the exclusive-nor gates is directly proportional to the magnitude of the collective output of the exclusive-nor gates.
