The invention relates to a system and method for data extraction and management in multi-relational ontology creation. The system of the invention includes selecting a corpus of documents containing information relevant to a targeted knowledge domain, extracting assertions and their constituent concepts and relationships from the corpus, and storing the assertions, wherein the extraction processes may rules and utilize natural language processing.

A process for cutting or splitting at least one optical fiber at a predetermined angle, wherein the fiber is introduced into a holding and positioning device and is cut by a pulsed laser beam.

A milling system is disclosed for creating a cavity in a bone. The cavity has a cross section which has a generally triangular profile having a first side generally parallel with an axis of the bone and a second side forming an acute angle with the first side. The cavity is contiguous with a pre-existing conical cavity in the bone. The system comprises a drive shaft, a frame for carrying a cutter and a cutter for cutting the cavity. The drive shaft has a proximal end configured for coupling to a drive means and a distal end configured to form a portion of a drive joint for coupling the drive shaft to a cutter. The frame includes a shaft and a cutter mount for mounting a cutter at a first angle approximating the acute angle with respect to the shaft. The mount includes a bracket extending laterally from the shaft to a bearing configured to receive a portion of a cutter and maintain the received cutter oriented at the first angle during rotation. The cutter has a head configured to form a portion of a drive joint for coupling the cutter to a drive shaft. The drive shaft is coupled to the cutter to form the drive joint. The cutter is received in the mount at the first angle and the drive shaft forms a second angle with the longitudinal axis less than the first angle.

A system, apparatus, device, tools and method is provided for the insertion of improved anatomically corrected modular design anterior and posterior dental implants, the apparatus including a root component and a head/abutment component, wherein the root component is inserted into the jawbone using precision surgical guide tools in combination with self-limiting surgical templates and a precision adjustable clamping device.

A controller controls an electronic appliance. The electronic appliance has a display. The controller employs a video camera to photograph an image of a user and converts the image into a mirror image. The controller generates an operational image including operation buttons, overlays the operational image on the user's image, and displays the images on the display. In the displayed images, the user moves his or her hand onto one of the displayed operation buttons and bends the fingers of the hand to select the operation button. This selecting operation is detected by a detector of the controller, and information about the selected operation button is supplied to a processing unit, which outputs control signals corresponding to the selected operation button.

The invention provides a method for imparting curvature to a substantially planar material comprising placing substantially planar material in a smart bag, and heat shrinking the smart-bagged material, wherein curvature is imparted to the smart-bagged material upon heat-shrinkage (e.g., placing an aerogel blanket with fibrous batting in a smart bag, applying vacuum and sealing the bag, shipping the flat bagged material to a work-site, heat-shrinking the bag to impart annular geometry, and securing the bagged insulation around an oil pipeline). Methods are included for preparing a smart bag of the invention.

A method and system for entering an order into an onsite computer-based sales management system of a restaurant. A communication link is established between an offsite employee and an order-placing talk box at the restaurant. The communication link is utilized for two-way voice communication so that a food order can be taken from a customer located at the restaurant by the offsite employee. A data communication link is utilized by the offsite employee to enter the order into the onsite computer-based sales management system which facilitates food preparation, fee collection, and the recording of sales. Preferably, the offsite employee utilizes a personal computer to accomplish the stated functions, the communication links are provided via the Internet, and the customer is located within a vehicle adjacent the restaurant when placing his/her order.

A system including a pyrolysis unit for pyrolyzing organic material to produce at least pyrolysis oil and coke, a regenerator unit to combust the coke and produce a regenerator flue gas, and a mixer connected to the regenerator unit to mix the regenerator flue gas with air to produce a cooled flue gas. The system may further include at least one heat exchanger connected to the mixer to extract heat from the cooled flue gas, and a conveyer belt in thermal communication with the at least one heat exchanger and operably connected to the pyrolysis unit. The conveyer belt conveys a organic material in need of drying past the at least one exchanger to produce organic material suitable for use as a feed to the pyrolysis unit.

A method for semi-automatic preparation of a range of standard cocktails and/or long drinks, wherein each cocktail is a mixture of liquid and/or creamy base components, dosed according to official international standards, said method comprising at least the steps of a) providing a plurality of empty stackable capsules (2), b) filling each capsule (2) with one or more standardized doses (D) of individual base components (B) of the cocktail to be prepared, c) sealing said capsules (2) with frangible walls (3, 4) d) arranging said filled capsules (2) one on top of the other to form a stack (5), e) sequentially piercing said capsules (2) to cause the base components (B) contained therein to flow out, f) collecting the base components (B) of all the capsules into a single receptacle (6), g) mixing the base components (B) collected in said receptacle (6) to obtain the cocktail, h) transferring the cocktail into a container for consumption by a user. The empty capsules (2) have identical plan shapes and different heights (h_1-5), to define a limited number of capsule sizes (M_1-5) having different volumes (V_1-5), each capsule size (M_1-5) being dimensioned to contain a unit dose (D) of a base component of predetermined value, for preparing all the cocktails of the range, in combination with the other capsules (2) of the stack (5).
