A system and a method for estimating readiness for passing an associated summative assessment includes, after receiving test results for at least one test, generating a score Cfor each concept tested on the test. Using the score, the system computes a probability of mastery p(M) of the at least one concept and associates the probability of mastery p(M) as a prior for updating the probability after receiving future test results. The system iteratively updates the probability of mastery p(M) of the at least one concept after each test using for the new test score and the prior.

Assessment performance prediction

The present disclosure relates to a system for verifying homogeneity in clusters and comprises a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor. The system creates at least one adjacency matrix representing a relationship between rows and columns of a table. The system applies an algorithm to the table to identify a first set of clusters. For each identified cluster, the system compares a computed dispersion value to a predetermined threshold. The cluster is associated as being homogeneous if the threshold is not met and not homogeneous if the threshold is met. The system reapplies the algorithm to the set of non-homogenous clusters within the data set and repeats the thresholding processes until each cluster resulting from the data set is homogeneous. Upon reaching the desired homogeneity for each cluster, the system recombines the clusters sequentially while keeping the each identified cluster together.

Latent student clustering using a hierarchical block clustering method

An apparatus and method of predicting the end of life of a consumable. A basic weighted least squares algorithm has been extended and augmented to compensate for observed common consumable/printer behavior. The system uses consumable usage data (such as toner level) acquired from the device to predict the current and future consumable level and to predict the remaining life. The apparatus and method monitors the consumable's usage and updates the prediction so that when the predicted remaining life matches a preset threshold, it automatically triggers an order placement event to ship product to customer.

A system and method are provided for processing scanned documents by digitizing the scanned documents, converting the digitized documents to a JPEG2000 file, encoding content information corresponding to the digitized documents using spatial capabilities of JPEG2000's Region of Interest feature, and creating an image file having the digitized documents and the region of interest information for forwarding to a computing device, such as a handheld computing device, for display. The system and method are especially useful in Digital Mail applications which entail digitizing and delivering mail documents to recipients.

System and method for digitizing documents and encoding information relating to same for display by handheld computing devices

A system generates an electronic image of a document for later retrieval through a network connection. The system uses a network accessible scanning device to enable scanning of a document to generate an electronic image thereof and an electronic repository to electronically store the electronic image. The electronic repository designates an electronic address for the stored electronic image and communicates the electronic address to the network accessible scanning device. The network accessible scanning device provides information to a user scanning the document. The information relates to the electronic repository designated address.

Pull model network image scanning system

A method for distributing a document by email. The method includes scanning a business document, extracting an email address from the business document, scanning a document and automatically emailing the scanned document to the email address extracted from the business document.

Method and system for sending material

A digital copying and printing system associated with a computer network for prioritizing and executing copy and print jobs. Two central processing units share the prioritizing and interpreting of copy and print jobs, so that the copy and print jobs are performed in a highly efficient manner.

Architecture for a digital copier and printer for handling print jobs

An electronic image processing apparatus includes a controller and a plurality of resources in an arbitrary configuration. Each of the resources provides an associated processor storing data related to operational capabilities of the associated resource. The controller is adapted to dynamically configure the image processing apparatus to operate in accordance with the the operational capabilities of each of the processors by defining job requirements as a combination of images defining a set of sheets and specifying compilations of sheets. The job requirement is converted into an assembly tree relationship for merging into additional assembly trees for formulating the job requirement. The controller responds to the data related to the operational capabilities of each of the modules and to the the assembly tree relationship of images, copy sheets, and compilations of copy sheets for providing a production tree relationship of the operational capabilities of the modules including timing relationships for operating the image processing apparatus. The production tree relationship further permits arbitrary definition of a job requirement into a first segment independent of the capabilities of the modules and a second segment dependent upon selected capabilities of selected modules to allow the image processing apparatus to be partially configured based upon operator entered constraints. This technique further allows adaptive control of selective diagnostics.
