An electronic document is automatically processed to identify patterns within the content of the document that indicate individual content items, such as individual steps or instructions associated with a task described in the document, or individual input fields at which information is to be recorded. For each individual content item identified, a data object (e.g., a JSON object) is added to a file, which is ultimately embedded within the original document to create an enhanced electronic document. When the enhanced electronic document is presented via an appropriate document viewing application of a hands-free computing device, the content of the document is presented in combination with the interactive GUI elements so the end-user can interact with the content and GUI elements via audible (spoken) commands.

A method of producing inductive sensors, including LVDTs and inductive encoders, manufactured by plotting fine wire onto a planar substrate. A sensor is constructed using a computer-controlled machine to place wire onto a planar adhesive substrate. This substrate forms a predictable and uniform surface to deposit each turn of wire, and so the placement accuracy is considerably better than conventional coil winding. This planar substrate can then be manipulated into a desired three-dimensional shape (e.g., by folding, rolling, corrugating, winding, etc.), carrying the wire along with it. In particular, the same CNC machine used to place the wire can be used to cut, crease, score, or otherwise pattern the substrate to facilitate the three-dimensional arrangement.

This invention expresses the stochastic system in a tree branching structure form. Successive nodes of the tree each contain a finite state model of the system which maintains information of the state of the system attained to that point and the branches represent decisions made that take the system to subsequent nodes. The branching tree structure affords a general method of approximating a stochastic system in a form that affords specific methods of speeding up the computations required to predict its behavior. The methods exploit the nature of the finite state representation to efficiently identify the state and output transitions associated with branching, the branching probabilities. Moreover, once a (state, branch) pair have been encountered and the resulting (state, output) pair have been computed by simulation, the next time this (state, branch) pair is encountered the resulting (state, output) is found by table lookup, a faster process than simulation.
