Intelligent Applications
NuEngineer and NuSearch
NuEngineer enables users to create and analyze hundreds of new engineering/CAD designs in minutes. Users work with a visual interface to intelligently choose the hundreds of new designs to search through from an infinite number of possible new designs. With NuEngineer, engineers go from designing parts to designing methodologies which design parts. They start reasoning about how they search for designs instead of reasoning about single designs. In the fields of knowledge-based engineering and artificial intelligence, this is referred to as meta-reasoning.
NuSearch makes the meta-reasoning tools of NuEngineer available to many new application packages. It can be integrated directly with almost any existing CAD package and thus legacy CAD data. NuSearch can be integrated with other engineering applications, such as simulations, spreadsheet tools, electronic circuit design, control algorithm design, CAM, and other manufacturing analysis and design tools. It utilizes heuristic search and genetic algorithm technologies.

BillPayer
BillPayer enables bank customers to pay their bills over the phone through a natural speech recognition interface that allows them to use everyday, conversational language to engage in "conversational transactions." For example, rather than responding to lengthy touch-tone menus or waiting on hold for service representatives, BillPayer users can phone in and state such requests as "Pay the water company," "Sixty-three dollars" or "The first of the month."
BillPayer features a variety of relevant information sets and facilities to enable home banking capabilities, such as commonly used terms for dollar amounts, and payment dates so users can pay their bills in whatever time frame works for them. Users can also establish additional personal information sets such as payee names to whom customers would regularly issue payments. The application's functionality allows customers to schedule recurring monthly payments, check up on their account by reviewing past and scheduled payments, and change scheduled payments.
