Since our founding, we have been active in the area of innovating solutions to difficult problems facing society. For example, we have used and licensed our general purpose pattern recognition and search algorithms, PATREC™, for the following purposes:
- Recognition of TV commercials (spots) for automated logging of competitive information.
- Real-time via digitizing tablets, and off-line via scanners, recognition of block hand printed characters.
- OEM licenses to manufacturers of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) readers for omni-font recognition.
- Creation of a line of plain-paper Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) software sold under the Remark Office brand.
We maintain an active staff of researchers, under the direction of Paul Holenstein, Executive Vice President, dedicated to building Intellectual Property (IP) to carry out our core purpose. Our staff has hundreds of years of experience in the fields of computer software, algorithms development, electrical engineering, physics and mathematics. We actively publish our research findings and protect our IP with patents and trade secrets.
We also maintain an IP professional services team to provide a wide variety of consulting, integration and custom development services and solutions to help you incorporate and adapt our IP for your needs.
Advances
Here is a list of some advances we provided the world:
- First plain-paper OMR solution replacing the need for dedicated scanners and special paper.
- Customer-acclaimed graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for end-user products.
- Replication from HP NonStop (Tandem) servers to NS SQL, Windows, Unix, Open VMS, and other targets.
- Process-to-process real-time bi-directional data replication - with no need for an intermediate extract queue.
- Cooperative processing with collision avoidance allowing real-time updates on any node.
- Methods to split large systems to increase overall availability and disaster tolerance.
