20080261165 | Systems for haptic design of dental restorations - The invention provides systems for integrated haptic design and fabrication of dental restorations that provide significant advantages over traditional practice and existing computer-based systems. The systems feature technical advances that result in significantly more streamlined, versatile, and efficient design and fabrication of dental restorations. Among these technical advances are the introduction of voxel-based models; the use of a combination of geometric representations such as voxels and NURBS representations; the automatic identification of an initial preparation (prep) line and an initial path of insertion; the ability of a user to intuitively, haptically adjust the initial prep line and/or the initial path of insertion; the automatic identification of occlusions and draft angle conflicts (e.g., undercuts); the haptic simulation and/or marking of occlusions and draft angle conflicts; and coordination between design output and rapid prototyping/milling and/or investment casting. | 10-23-2008 |

20140237289 | HANDLING FAULTS IN A CONTINUOUS EVENT PROCESSING (CEP) SYSTEM - The concept of faults and fault handling are added to the execution of continuous event processing (CEP) queries. By introducing fault handling techniques to the processing of CEP queries, users are enabled to instruct a CEP query processor to respond to faults in a customized manner that does not necessarily involve the halting of the CEP query relative to which the faults occurred. For example, a fault might be due to a temporary problem. Under such circumstances, the CEP query processor can be instructed to ignore the fault and allow the execution of the CEP query to continue relative to the remainder of the event stream. Alternatively, if the fault is due to a problem with the CEP query itself, then the CEP query processor can be instructed to propagate the fault through the query processing system until the fault ultimately causes the problematic CEP query to be halted. | 08-21-2014 |

20140188803 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC SYNCHRONIZATION OF RECENTLY MODIFIED DATA - The present disclosure describes systems and methods for automatic synchronization of recently modified data between a plurality of devices. A device may identify newly utilized files stored on the device, and a synchronization engine may synchronize these files to one or more additional devices. The synchronization engine may record a storage location of the files on the first device, and may transmit the files for storage in a hidden directory on the other devices. After modification, a file may be synchronized back to the initial device. The synchronization engine on the initial device may retrieve the storage location of the modified file, and may replace the previous version of the file with the newly received modified file, in the original storage location. The user may view and edit recently utilized files on any device, while maintaining their original storage locations on each device and without having to manually manage files. | 07-03-2014 |

20110106575 | INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY (IT) ESTIMATION MODELING - In general, the present invention provides a technique for IT estimation modeling of any organization. Although this estimation model is applied to SOA herein, it is not limited to solely estimating SOA activities; the maturity-based estimation modeling can be applied to other areas and disciplines, even beyond the IT industry. The maturity-based model of the present invention also offers executives and project managers a very effective estimating tool to analyze the impact of project variances. Resources do not need to be taken off projects and assigned to perform estimations, as this model acquires knowledge over time and delivers ever more precise estimates with each successive project. Executives and project managers may analyze the effects of additional staff, function changes, or other events to an overall project. Additionally, new projects may be estimated without utilizing current personnel with this adaptive learning model. | 05-05-2011 |
