    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and corresponding method to capture individual representational motions made by a person while performing a neuropsychological test. A user of the apparatus and method may be allowed to view, edit, classify, and retrieve any captured and recorded motions made by the person. In one embodiment, a capture unit, such as a digitizer, captures the motions made by a person while performing a Clock Drawing Test, and the captured data may then be reported in a myriad of ways. The apparatus and method also provide a means to standardize administration and scoring of writing utensil and paper based neuropsychological testing administered to a person or control and test groups for domestic or international applications. By analyzing individual representational motions made by a person while performing a neuropsychological test, unexpectedly more information may be gleaned from the test than was available to physicians from only a completed drawing.

    Abstract: Handwriting interpretation tools, such as optical character recognition (OCR), have improved over the years such that OCR is a common tool in business for interpreting typed text and sometimes handwritten text. OCR does not apply well to non-text-only diagrams, such as chemical structure diagrams. A method according to an embodiment of the present invention of interpreting a human-drawn sketch includes determining a local metric indicating whether a candidate symbol belongs to a certain classification based on a set of features. The set of features includes, as a feature, scores generated from feature images of the candidate symbol. Also included is determining a joint metric of multiple candidate symbols based on their respective classifications and interpreting the sketch as a function of the local and joint metrics. Sketches can be chemical composition, biological composition, electrical schematic, mechanical, or any other science- or engineering-based diagrams for which human-drawn symbols have well-known counterparts.

    Abstract translation: 手写解读工具(如光学字符识别(OCR))多年来有所改善,因此OCR是用于解释类型文本和有时手写文本的通用工具。 OCR不适用于非纯文本图,如化学结构图。 根据本发明的实施例的解释人画草图的方法包括基于一组特征来确定指示候选符号是否属于某个分类的本地度量。 作为特征的一组特征包括从候选符号的特征图像生成的分数。 还包括基于它们各自的分类来确定多个候选符号的联合度量,并且将草图解释为局部和联合度量的函数。 草图可以是化学成分,生物组成,电气原理图,机械或任何其他人类绘制符号具有知名对象的基于科学或工程的图表。

    Abstract: A formatting object according to the present invention conveys information to the reader of a document (such as a table or chart) by associating visual attributes (such as color, fill type, border width, line width, line style, font size, marker size and marker type) to characters or markers within the document. The formatting object may be used to emphasize data within a table or a chart by modifying the structural visual attributes of characters or markers within the table or chart according to pre-defined criteria. Similarly, the formatting object may be used to increase information density within a table or chart, and to elegantly represent the relationships between four or more interrelated variables in a two-dimensional chart. The formatting object accomplishes this by defining at least one format map that comprises one or more mapping segments. Each mapping segment includes a beginning boundary value, an ending boundary value, at least one beginning visual attribute corresponding to the beginning boundary value, and at least one ending visual attribute corresponding to the ending boundary value. The formatting object uses the information within the format maps, in combination with interpolation techniques, to determine one or more visual attributes that correspond to data points falling within the various mapping segments. The formatting object then expresses the data values by applying the appropriate visual attribute to a visual object displayed on a computer screen.

    Abstract: A sub-surface pole and pole foundation remover having a portable frame, a cylinder mounted on the frame and configured to receive pressurized fluid, a lifting piston slidably mounted in the cylinder, a grapnel connected to the lifting piston and having a plurality of lower arms that extend from a bottom circular support and that are configured to grip a sub-surface pole located below ground, and a control lever configured to direct the pressurized fluid to the cylinder that is actuated to cause the lifting piston to extend and push the grapnel upward relative to the portable frame to remove the pole from the ground. The grapnel may have a top circular support and a middle circular support connected to the top circular support by a plurality of flexible cables. A cinching cable may be used to grip the pole, the grapnel may have gripping teeth and fluid may be hydraulic.
