A system, method and program product for creating a grammar 100 for a natural language dialog system from a domain model. A template grammar 104 with parameterized rules to be instantiated is opened. A new grammar 102, initially empty, is created. Instances of general purpose grammar rules are created 106 and tentatively added to the new grammar. The general purpose grammar rules instances are domain objects of the new grammar, each including one or more attributes. The developer is offered the option of deciding whether to include each object 112 and which attributes 118 are kept in the new grammar. An umbrella rule is created 108 for each broad category of queries among the general purpose grammar rules. Each umbrella rule includes a domain-object-independent non-terminal in a left-hand side and a set of expansions of the non-terminal in a right-hand side. Objects are selectively included 112 as domain objects in the new grammar. Then, umbrella rules are created for domain object attributes 120 and, object attributes are selectively included 124 in the new grammar. Attributes are classified as either simple or complex 1204. Complex attributes relate one object to a subsidiary domain object. Then, a grammar checker is applied to the new grammar 200, 206 to prevent inclusion of unreachable non-terminals or non-terminating expansions in the final natural language dialog system grammar. Unreachable non-terminals may be removed or new rules may be added making them reachable at the developer's option 204. Non-terminating expansions may also be removed or appropriate rules may be added, also at the developer's option 208.

The reverse process involves removal of the protection from appropriately marked elements of an object in a structured document. The protected document is loaded and the protection markers are read. The protection on the elements is removed and the elements are restored to the objects. The structured document having restored objects and elements is now available in the clear. A system performing the methods includes a graphical user interface which allows the user to orchestrate the processes.

A method and an assembly for generating optical section images permit the three-dimensional, layered optical scanning of spatially extended objects. Illumination patterns with periodicity in at least one direction are projected into a plane and the light from the sample which is reflected and / or scattered and / or emitted fluorescence light is being imaged onto a spatially resolving detector. Initially, there is a calibration step, in which the local phase and / or the local period of the illumination patterns are determined for each location on the detector. In the sample detection mode, for the calculation of each optical section image there are two illumination patterns projected into or onto the sample and the resulting intensity distributions are used to form an image on the detector.

Scanned illumination allows for capturing 3-dimensional information about an object. A conventional reflection (or transmission) bright field (or fluorescence, darkfield, polarizing, phase contrast or interference) microscope is configured to use laterally scanned illumination (for example by moving an array in front of the light source) to scan an extended object. A pixelated detector may capture a series of images at the exit pupil of a microscope objective, and this series of images may be processed to form a Light Field image of the object. Or, a microscope is configured to provide scanned illumination to an extended object, while applying extended depth of field and 3D depth localization encoding to the resulting set of images. Thus multiple encoded images are generated. These images are decoded and combined, with custom digital signal processing algorithms, to form a 3D volume rendering or animation. Each point in the specimen is illuminated separately from its neighbors, and records its distinct PSF signature without any ambiguity arising from adjacent points on the object.

The invention discloses a method for dynamic extension of service objects. The method includes the following steps: obtaining input description information about extended attributes; creating an extended object containing the multiple extended attributes according to the description information; obtaining a standard service object, which contains multiple standard attributes and is input by a user, and an extended object which is composed of the extended attributes of the standard service object; and correlating the input extended object and the standard service object. According to the method for the dynamic extension of the service objects, the number and the length of each extended attribute can be set according to actual needs, a corresponding database storage space can be distributed, and database storage redundancy can be effectively reduced. In addition, one extended object can be correlated with multiple standard service objects, namely the multiple standard service objects can share the extended attributes of the extended object, and therefore the database storage redundancy can be further reduced. Besides, the invention further provides a system for the dynamic extension of the service objects.
