Abstract: A method of providing physiological self-regulation challenges prior to participating in a series of activities or exercises at a series of predefined locations includes determining a physiological goal associated with each location. A sensing device measures a physiological state of a user, and a mobile communication device communicates to a user whether or not the user has achieved the physiological goal for the challenge. The level of difficulty of the physiological goal may be reduced if the user does not meet the goal. The physiological goal may comprise a brain state that is conducive to learning, and the sensing device may be configured to measure brain state values representing cognitive engagement. Upon achievement of each physiological goal, the participant is provided with a reward such as information concerning the current predefined location and/or information concerning the next predefined location.

Abstract: Disclosed herein a method of and system for providing a summary of a document. The method may comprise identifying, using a processor, a plurality of salient excerpts from the document. Further, the method may comprise generating, using the processor, the summary of the document based on the plurality of salient excerpts. The method may comprise receiving at least one parameter configured to control the generating of the summary. Accordingly, identifying or generating may be based on the at least one parameter. The method may further comprise identifying a plurality of key terms in the document. Moreover, the method may include ranking each sentence of the document based on the plurality of key terms. Additionally, the method may comprise identifying a set of key sentences based on the ranking. Further, the set of key sentences may constitute the plurality of salient excerpts.

Abstract: Converting intermediate document data representing document text derived from data in an image data format into a semantically-meaningful tagged text data format may be provided. Intermediate document data derived from document image data may be imputed. The intermediate document data may comprise character data corresponding to characters in the document and attribute data corresponding to one or more attributes of characters in the document. The intermediate document data may then be processed according to attribute-dependent rules. Tagged text input data may be generated comprising tagged section of the document text. The tags may define semantically meaningful portions of the text determined according to the attribute data.

Abstract: Automatic text skimming using lexical chains may be provided. First, at least one lexical chain may be created from an electronic document. Next, a list of positions within the electronic document may be created. The positions may include where at least one concept represented by one of the at least one lexical chain is mentioned. In addition, a list of the position where the at least one concept is mentioned may be assembled. A selection of at least one concept may be received from the list.

Abstract: A handcuff key “universal” shank and paddle for a common handcuff is attached, in-line, with an enlarged shank extension and bow or grip of a size and shape allowing its use while wearing heavy gloves. The shank extension is sufficiently long to accommodate heavily gloved fingers between the bow or grip and the universal shank and paddle. The enlarged bow or grip of the key is generally circular to fit the palm of a heavily gloved hand, and having a variety of apertures for key rings. The enlarged shank extension defines concave finger-holds for the gloved index and middle finger. The extended shank extends outward from the hand, while the heel of the glove hand engages the rounded rear surface of the bow or grip. The double-lock engaging stem is radially mounted about 60 degrees from the centerline. The key with extended shank is reversed for double-locking.
