20140142893 | AUTOMATED HYPOTHESIS TESTING - A method of automatically applying a hypothesis test to a data set. The method reduces errors made in failing to appreciate predicate assumptions of various statistical tests, and elicits a series of indications from the user regarding characteristics of interest embodied by the data set to select an appropriate statistical test. The system also reduces errors in constructing competing null and alternative hypothesis statements by generating a characterization of the data and defining null and alternative hypotheses according to the indications, selected statistical test, and conventions adopted with respect to the tests. The system also establishes a significance level, calculates the test statistic, and generates an output. The output of the system provides a plain interpretation of the quantitative results in the terms indicated by the user to reduce errors in interpretation of the conclusion. | 05-22-2014 |

20100021872 | PROCESS OF LEARNING PROCESS IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUES - A method of simulating a process. Students are assigned a role related to the process and conduct interviews and investigations via electronic mail to document the process. During the simulation, the students learn the steps involved in the process, and the students learn what steps delay the process and identify the “choke” points in the process. With this information, the students can take action to alter and/or avoid those steps to improve the process. | 01-28-2010 |
20100005406 | METHOD OF PRESENTING INFORMATION - A method of displaying visual information to a user of a video display. The method includes defining a dynamic portion of the visual display, providing a mask that obscures the dynamic portion of the visual display for an observable period of time, and providing a second display of content to the dynamic portion of the visual display during the observable period of time, the second display of content being occluded by the animated content during the observable period of time. | 01-07-2010 |
20100003645 | EDUCATION METHOD AND TOOL - A method of, and tool for, enhancing a student's knowledge and skill in Six Sigma concepts. The tool is computer-based and enhances and evaluates a student's knowledge of and skill in the DMAIC process of Six Sigma. The tool allows the student to apply his newly-obtained knowledge of Six Sigma methodologies to a simulated real-world situation. | 01-07-2010 |
